SOME NOISE IN STUART'S
 BOTTOM WAS WILL SMITH

Stuart's Bottom is that section of Montgomery smuggling close up to the
 back of the brewery. and Is noted the world over for the exclusiveness of It's
 nhabitants,-impregna social walls. quiet reserve and bitumen-like hue ot the complexion of its residents.
 When a call came in from it's very
 center Thursday night begging the police for. the sake of the chiefs pat
 ron saint to send half the force there, the home office was surprised and
 horror stricken. The flying squadron
 of the bicycle corps, under omcsrs
 Cantey and Cloud. and the horse artll- lery, under command of Colonels Hill and Patrick, was sent at top speed
 with three days rations and two extra
 plugs of tobacco.
 Approaching the spot volley oS
 shots snagged the night air and rat
 tied raucously on the ear drums of the
 devoted little band of rescuers. Will
 Smith, gaunt, bony, cadaverous and bad
 had filled up to the arm pits on mean licker," been refused @ seat at his own dining table and then at the tables or neighbors, and was hungry. indignant and drunk. Will has a pistol. He got 1t and went to barley with the several hostesses who had turned him down. He met his wife first and fired at her point blank. missing her, but scorchtnE her face with powder. Her scream delighted his heart and whirl- ing he fired three shots into the car- cass of a turkey on table in house across the street. The door of the house was quietly closed and the lights were put out. The policemen after ward heiped the family down from be- | hind the chimney with step ladder.
 win then drew a flask from his pocket, played the same trick on it's 1 contents that some farmers say they have seen a snake play on an egg, and relocating his gun, proceeded to ring electric buttons with forty-four bull ! let's.
 one by one the lights along the | thoroughfare went out. 50 VIII would | sneak around to the backs of houses and fire in through the rear windows or through the cat hole in the bottom | of the door He was having beau- tiful time, for every shot he punctu. ated the night with was followed by l a terror stricken scream that sounded like compressed air coming out of the hole his bullet had made in the night. Between the shots and the screams, the dogs were made so nervous they set I'D a chant which did not allay the suffering feelings of the cats. who with tails like dusting brushes. groaned in bitterness of spirit from under the front steps of the residences.
 will had just finished making Mary
 Hodgson climb to her upper story by
 means of the piazzo posts, and was re- 1 loading to hurry across the shed into | fine house, when Hill and Patrick rode up. the pistol was knocked from the 1 bad mans hand and Patrick caught him by the back of the neck and some- l where else holding him while Hill handcuffed him.

Life in The Country.

St. Louis Republic.
 In the farmers meeting which Presi- dent Roosevelt desires to be held be- fore the assembling Congress, In order that the tillerg of the soil may reveal to his Country Life Commission the true inwardness of their modes of liv- ures and not a little fun for those far mers who are not too busy shucking corn. The farmers who attend these meetings may tell the commissioners that with full corn cribs and having a- few days before fed to satiety on Thanksgiving meats and pumpkin pies, they are petitioning Congress for legisIation in their behalf other than that which they voted for in the November elections. To the learned their uplifts the dwellers of the "open country" may reply that they are all ready in the upper air and on the solar way of the worlds progress. Most of them have their we1l-carpeted parIors with pianos in them. Not a few of them have their houses we'll heated in winter with basement furnaces Many who live in the small towns adjacent to their lands have water and gas or electricity in their homes. inquiries of the Country Life Commits sion get at the bottom facts they will disclose that the American farmer was never better off than he is right now. In many districts he has trolley cars In which to get to town or to his neighbors. From the companies operating the cars he buys electricity with which to light his house and barn, to work his corn sheller and to turn his grindstone. When the Coun- try Life Commission tackles the great problem of farm labor it will be told that the horse and the mule are the main dependence of the farmer for getting his work done until the time comes for harvesting wheat or pick ing cotton. This motor power for modern farm machinery has almost driven the old-time farm laborer from the rural districts. An economic change worthy of note Is that the far

The ~stoughton BottIe."

DOclOh SiO0Cs
 Stoughton, mot stoatin. bottle is proper. The adage standing like a stoughton bottle" can be tracked back to early nineteenth century days. Dr. Stoughton in those times got out a bitters that became famous. The compound was originally sold in ordi- nary straight green (probably black ) bottles. duly labeled, and the Stough- ton bitters bottle became a bar fix ture, always standing at the end of the bar. The contents of the bottle seem to have been gin-steeped tansy to give the unblended whiskey of those times a tang. The adage arose from the noticeable position of the bottle on the bar.
 The Stoughton bottle. however. took another form. Dr. Stoughton had a quick discerment of the merits of ad- vert:sing. The presidential campaign of 1s40 was on with its log cabin and hard cider" slogan. The glass-blowers were requisitioned for imitation log cabins, and the Stoughton bitters in its z 9g cabin home held it's own for ore of years afterward.
 a Stoughton bottle may be con
 4ered as a square, corrugated glass Jottle in the shape of a log cabin.

The sOuth's Share.

NNashvtlle Banner.
 The contributions to the Democratic campaign fund 1t is reported, did not much exceed S6O0.0 .000. The South gave a good portion of the sum. Several daily papers in Tennessee raised in all over S15,000 by popular subscrtp- tion for the fund. This did not in- clude many large contributions that men made as individuals. In all, per haps the South gave in excess of It's proportionate taxable wealth to this fund. There are only thirteen states that can properly be classed as South ern compared with thirty-three of the rest of the Union.
 The South furnished all the cleo toral votes MT. Bryan got except the sixteen from Nebraska, Colorado and Nevada. If in addition to this 1t gave a full share. or more than It's share, of "the sinews of war" the fact seems to be more than ordinarily emphasized that the South is the stronghold and hope of the Democracy, and thus gives further weight to the argument that the South should furnish the Demo- cratic candidate.

It is not altogether a pleasant fact to look at. but it is a fact. that modern invention has vastly reduced rural population relatively to that of the towns. At the same time 1t has made life infinitely easier for tn ose who live upon the farms. Mir.

FROM OVER SEAS
l.. AND N. PLANS TO BUY STEEL
 RAILS.
Will Save Money Over Trust Frtces- sIxty-five Thousand Tons Requireo'
 Experiment. Worked

Louisville Courier-Journal.
 Within the next two weeks the Lou Iisyille and Nashville Railroad, 1t was authoritativeiy but unofieially, stated last night, expects to close contract
 with the English and Belgian rolllng
 mills for approximately 65.OOo tons oi
 steel rails, to be delivered at Pensa- cola, Fla, in the course of the next three years. This action is dependent upon the willingness of the Steel Trust | to meet the prices at which the rails can be purchased across the water duty-paid and landed at the Louisville
 and Nashville docks at Pensacola. Three years ago the Louisville ana Nashville purchased 56.000 tons of steel rails in Belgium and England. shipped them to Pensacola, paid the tarin, and then showed neat margin or pront over the price asked by the Steel Trust. Figures are in possession of the Louis- vile and Nashville officials from Bel
 gian aud English rolling mills which
 with the added duty, are below the es-
 timate of the Steel Trust for the con- | tract.
 Little hone of the Steel Trust meetin g or cutting the figures Is said to be
 entertained by the officials of the Lou u- | isviIle and Nashville, and 1t is practi- cally a settled fact that they will De
 bought outside the country, as in the former instance, three years ago. ihat the Louisville and NashVille can ouy
 rails in Belgium and England, snip them. and pay the high tariff on them, and then save money, is the more sur prisinE because of the fact that Bir- mtnRham, Ala, one of the largest dis | tributinz and manufacturing points of the Steel Trust, is in the geographical
 center of the Louisville and Nashville
 system.

The exact saving of the Louisville and Nashville is said to be the freight charges on the hauling of the rails. The trust figures are fraction below the European price, plus the duty and the hauling to points from their mills. thus precluding the purchase of steel outside the country at profit. The officials of the Louisville and Nashville do not figure in the extra haul from Pensacola, passing their saving on the actual cost to them. The rails are hauled at times when the cars would otherwise travel empty.
 One of the officials of the Louisville and Nashville has been quoted within the past year as saying that part of the rails furnished in the contract which has just been carried out were manufactured in Pittsburg. shipped out of the country and then reshtpped. This is said to have been made neces- sary because the English mills became so overorowded they were unable to fulfll the terms of their contract in any other way.
 All attempts to get an official verifca- tion of the contract about to be closed were impossible last night, as the off, cials of the road refused to discuss the matter.

their books and their plants. would you
claim there was anything improper. 80
far as the mills were concerned, in per-
hitting the examination to be made!
Mr. Norris did not deny that Mr.. Hanra-
han had perfect right to buy twenty
mills If he SO desired go =
THE point make he said. is that
the owners of twenty mills have no right
to act in concert for a period Of nine
months and regulate prices and do other
things to the injury or -detriment OF paper
consumers while such negotiations are
pending by them either individually or
collectively, with Mr.. Hanrahan."
Other data. also. in the shape of ex-
