YOUNG Thieves Were Caught.

IN the junicipal court this fore,
noon, Judge Bailey had occasion t
administer a moral lecture to two
boys who had been brought before
him on the charge Of robbing a
garden-the youthful robbers
according to complaining witness,
having been caught red handed in
their attempt to make away with
some choice vegetables.
Martin Flint made complaint again
Henry Norton, age 10 and Mike
Bertram age IA, charging them with
robbing his garden. According to
Flint's charge, he caught the boys
in the garden, armed with hoes,
sacks and a small wagon and a
healthy determination to replenish
the potato supply of their homes.
As this garden has been robbed
several times, Mr.. Flint caused the
boys arrest, last Saturday when
they pleaded guilty. --a...
This forenoon, the two boys were
again arraigned in municipal court,
when Judge Bailey imposed a fine
of $50 and costs, each, or confne-
nlent in the county Jail for twenty
days. The boys had already spent
two days in the custody of the
sheriff, at the county Jail, and after
giving the boys a good fatherly talk.
| Judge Bailey suspended the sentence
during good behavior. =
There has been ons:derable petty
thievery and other depredations
going on of late, and should any
other youthful offenders be taken
into custody, it, is more than likely
that the court will impose a very
severe penalty.

WILLIAM POLITICS LIVELY

Ensley, August 24.-(Special.)- .)-Whue resisting arrest and attempting to cut his captors with a razor George Pape, negro with police record, was shot and almost instantly killed by Officer John Wren this evening about o'clock. While Officers Wren and Henry White were walking along Avenue D near Twenty second street, they saw a ne- gro in an alley attempting to climb the fence near the kitchen of the dwelling house occupied by Mrs. Jerrode, which was burglarized last week and several hundred dollars worth of jewelry stolen. Officer Wren rushed forward calling on the negro to half. The man dropped from the fence and darted up the alley, the officer in pursuit. Officer White ran around the house to head the negro off. Wren fired a couple of sh ots in the air to halt the negro and finally overlook him. As the officer closed on the negro, he cut at him with a razor. Wren jumped back and fired; the shot striking the negro in Ne breast near the heart. The shooting attracted considerable attention as the neigh borhood where the shooting oc- cured is thickly settled.
 Dr. Fonville was on the scene in few minutes and pronounced the negro dead. The body was removed to the undertaking establishment of Echols & Angwin and the coroner notified. The inquest will be held tomorrow morn- ing. Pape was well known in police circles, having been convicted a mum Der of times in the police court here. He was recognized by both the of f1cers. in fact tn ey were on the lookout for him as he had been reported for at tempted burglary at the residence of Ed Whitlock at Tuxedo. In addition to the razor the negro was armed with d large steel meat skeWer.

HER HUSBAND ALSO SUES

Gadsden, August 24.-(Special.)-A a sequel to the recent suit of T. S. Kyle against J. M Elliott, Jr.. in the courts of Chattanooga and the attachment of $5O,OoO in the bank there to the credit of the defendant, three suits were filed today In the Gadsden courts by MT. Elliott and wife against MT. Kyle and the Kyle Lum- Der company. Mrs. Elliott sues for $5O,OO0 damages against T. S. Kyle, who is her brother, alleging that the money attached in Chattanooga was her individual prop erty. MT. Elliott enters suit against T. $. Kyle for s11000 and against the Kyle Lumber company for $31S0 on account in both cases. The relationship of the par ties and their high standing in business and social circles gives the matter an added interest.
 J. W. Cunningham, the man who was recently operated on for cancer of the jaw by Dr. Wythe of New York, died very suddenly Saturday night. After the op- eration, which was a very dangerous one, the patient revived and made progress toward complete recovery lie had re- covered sufficiently to be up and was walking on the Hospital grounds few hours before his death. At 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon he was suddenly taken ill and four hours later was dead As several arteries were severed in the op eration it is the theory of the physicians that blood clot from one of the ends found its way to the heart causing pa ralysis.
 w. M. Silvey, a carpenter, was rvn over by an automobile Saturday night driven by Dr. H. l.. Appleton. The vic- tim suffered fractured collar bone and some other slight injuries. The machine struck him in turning corner and put for the fact that it was running slowly, he might have been more seriously in- jured.
 The rains falling in this county have been a great help to the late corn and potato crops, but all agree that there is not much to be expected in the way of improvement in the cotton outlook. In fact it will be an easy matter to get so much rain that a still further damage will result to the staple.
 The new water main extension in the west part of the city has been completed, and about 100 homes have thereby been given fire protection. The value of the property thus brought within the water limit will be about $100000.
 The machinery for the new cooperage plant at Attalla mas been received and will be installed as rapidly as possible, and the plant put in operation at the earliest moment, as the product of the mill has been sold in advance for the entire year. The plant will give employ ment to about 20 men.

SCHOOL CENSUS SHOWS DECREASE Recount Is Ordered In Mont

COST OF MILITARY GUARD

Montgomery, August .-(Special.)- The fact that Montgomery county is to have a new school census taken because of the great falling off from that of 1906, draws attention to the reports now coming in from other counties All of these show less children of school age than two years ago and it begins to look as if the old census was not taken with that care that should have been given to it. Under the old law there was no pay for taking the census and no penalty. Under the new law there is pay and a very heavy penalty for any falsifying of figures.
 Montgomery fell about 1000 short, according to the new census, and the people made such kick that State Su- perintendent Gunnells ordered a new census taken. The bone of the con- tention is that the money is appor toned upon the per capita basis and with a falling off there will be less drawn from the funds of the state. It has been charged many times that un der the old plans the rolls were not properly made up and the returns under the new law would seem to indicate that some truth lurked in the state ments. However, where showing is made that there has been a full enum eration Superintendent Gunnells is or. dering new figures taken.
 Eleven counties so far reporting sh ow school children to the number of 118,- BIO, as compared to 125,412 falling off of 7102. Montgomery, in which there was a reduction of about 1000, is nor included. Several others made the same sort of record. The counties are given here with census for 1906 and

Gov. B. B. Conner will be in his office much of the week, it is thought He has announced that he will come for a meeting of the building committee of the trustees of the University Wednes- day and will probably be here much of the rest of the week. The business of the trustees is to let the contract for the wiring of the new buildings to go up there. There are also many, other matters to be disposed of by the execu- tive.
 Julian In Detroit.
 Secretary of State Frank N Julian, who is ex- -officio insurance commis- sioner has gone to the meeting of the National Association of Fire Insur- ance Men in session at Detroit. He will read a paper on practices of the de- partments. MT. Julian has given a great deal of attention to the insurance work and will be able to give the ques- tion a great deal of light

 To Test the Law. The litigation between the state and the Guarantee Life Insurance company, of Houston, Tex, will bring to a final test the question of the right of the state to prohibit insurance companies to give rebates or special contracts. The license of the company was first re- 1 voked; then the company got an in junction to prevent the insurance com missioner from carrying out the order. A day will be set later for the hearing.
