with two of his neighbors went to
the store. They saw the negro as
they entered and the negro saw them,
and started to go out of the window.
A shot was fired to warn him that he
should stop. To emphatic this fact,
another gun was exhibited and the
negro decided that it was better to
stay and take the consequences of
the law than it was to risk being shot
at. He then gave himself up and the
three men tied him good and fast and
sent for the police.

delightful manner. The inside open

meter, and the globes are the size
of an apple. Each one holds single
flower or spray of blossoms. so that

SCISSORS IN THE KITCHEN
Labor-Saver in Preparing vexet,h,..
 in Making SaIada.


 IT you want to see a pair of scissors put to all sorts of queer uses iust watch some young housekeeper getting ready Tor dinner or preparing a salad It Is declared that in nine cases ont or every ten things can be cut better With the scissors than with a knife.
 Especially in the preparing of salads should the kitchen scissors appeal to the housekeeper looking for labor-say. ing schemes. Dicing apples and celery Is matter of only a moment when done in this way, and a few green pep pers may be shipped up in less time than it takes to tell about it.
 The easiest way to dice green pep- pers Is to cut off several long slivers the whole length of the pepper Hold these firmly in one hand and with the scissors slip through the entire bunch. Several stalks of asparagus may be clipped through in the same way.
 For hollowing out tomato previous to stuffing. a pair of scissors enables one to remove practically all the pulp without breaking through the skin. For fruit salads scissors are equally use- full. as the fine skin which separates the sections of grapefruit and oranges Is easily clipped off in this way.
 But fruit and vegetable salads are not the only kinds for which the kitch- en scissors may be brought into use. Cold boiled chicken and lobster are cas- lily cut into pieces, and. surprising as 1t seem to those who haven't tried 1t. chicken joints and lobster shells are no obstacles when scissors are used.
 The hard parts of oysters and clans are neatly removed with a pair of scis- sors. and slices of cold tongue and ham are often much improved in ap- pearance if, before sending to table. they are trimmed into shape in the same way
 When 1t comes to preparing cold veg etables for relocating in cream sauce or for the many popular dishes au gratin. the kitchen scissors are again a blessing. Cold, boiled potatoes. caul- iiower. asparagus. oyster plant In fact any and every vegetable, may easily be shipped into pieces of the required size. Doing such work with a pair of scis sors Is not only much quicker and easier. but the saving of ones hands Is important. No woman will believe until she tries for herself how great a labor saver a pair of scissors may prove in her kitchen.

FREIGHT TRAFFIC INCREASES.

AaOA9 0D V 0OOms
 Eufaula. Sept. 20.-(Suecial. )-The prevailing cry of hard times Tn this section and the falling off in trade con dittons as has been reported bv the merchants this fall does not seem to nave affected at least one branch of the city's industry.
 While official figures can not be gain ed. 1t Is conceded by those who are in a position to know that the interest In freight earnings at the depot here Tor the present period of September Will exceed those of the corresponding time last year by at least 50 per cent. It is also known on good authority that Eufaula is the only city on the entire Central Railroads system whose earnings in freight receipts will show | a gain for the period of the past twelve months as against those of the previ- ous year.
 What might have resulted in a seri- ous confagration here yesterday, was narrowly averted by Fred Mabry. of this city. who superintends the city dray line
 While engaged in having loaded a large quantity of cotton that had been turned out for shipment from the ware- house of Dean and Moore here to be transferred to the compress. MT. Nab ry discovered the fumes of burning cotton. It was not until the heat from the ties attracted his attention that the burning bale was located and when 1t was examined into 1t was discovered that a space about the size of a nail keg had burned in the center. A strange feature was that no smoke exuded and not a trace was noticeable until 1t was opened. The same occurrence was re- ported at the compress year ago by Dan Mabry. the manager, and 1t Is be- lieved that some spark ignited 1t at the gin. It serves at least as an ad- monition that should remind ginners to be extremely careful. It Is known that the cotton had been burning at least three days in that way.
 Miss Elmer Roberts entertained at a chafing dish supper In honor of her week end party at her parents home. Highland View, on College Hill. last night. The occasion was delightful one The following young women com posed the party: Misses May Wilson Foy. Teresa Merrill. Mana and Gather, Kathleen Corker.

 There was one white man among the number who was convicted of criminal assault and was sentenced to the peni- tentiary Tor ten years. During the term of the court there were thirty convictions and pleas of guilty and not A single acquittal. The two Slavs who were convicted of the murder of Con- ductor Joe Collins are still in the coun- ty jail here pending the result of the appeal of their cases to the Supreme Court.
 The new school building at this place is rapidly nearing completion, and when finished will be handsome structure.
 The farmers in the section say that the cotton crop will be very short around here. At one time it was the most promising of recent years. but the hot dry weather ruined the plant There will be no top crop The rain which has been falling almost con stantly since yesterday will no doubt do much damage to the cotton which remains unpicked in the fields.

STATE NORMAL COLLEGE.
New InstitutiOn at Moundville Opens
 With Large AttenAance.


 Moundville. Sept. 1s.-tSpecial.)-- The new State Normal College at Moundville opened Sept. IA. with an enrollment of over a hundred. Many visitors were present, and good. in- spiring addresses were the order of the day. Among the most prominent speakers were Rev. E. A. Moody of South Carolina and MT. N. l.. Whit rield. member of the Board of Trus- tees, and one of the prominent local promoters of the school.
 The courses offered in this institu- ton are commercial. normal and clas- sical. with special opportunity to study instrumental music. The nor mai department thoroughly prepares for the profession of teaching and with that end in view makes a speciality of preparing for the State examinations.
 The faculty consists of George R. Bancroft. formerly of Mobile. Presi- dent: Misses Louise Strudwick of De- mopolis. Alice L. Hollomon of Mobile, Matt Turner of Livingston and Susie Lundy of Tyler. assistants.
 No institution of learning in the State. perhaps. ever started with more enthusiasm or under more suspicious circumstances. Plans are already made for securing a good library for the school. A school improvement as- sociation is to be organized and a lyceum course will be arranged for the winter.
 On Oct. A. Alabama's talented dia- lect reader, Miss Martha Young. of Greensboro, will open the course with one of her delightful readings. Other numbers will be announced later.
 The people of Moundville justly de- serve this college. They responded literally to the States conditions by building a handsome, steam -h eated concrete building with class rooms on the first floor and a large auditorium, library and music room on the second floor.
 They next propose to build a dor mitory for the accommodation of the boarding students who cannot be ac- commodated in the private families of the town. although 1t should be said that the citizens propose to take care of every applicant for Eoarding privi- ieges they may have until the dormi- tory Is completed.
