BIG BATCH
 OF DECISIONS Supreme Court Renders
 Fifty-one. DEFENDANTS PARED BADLY Clarence Miller Will Hang for
 Murder. Sentence Amrmed on the Man Whe Killed . Birmingham Saloon Keeper-Decisions Rendered
 Yesterday Completed
 Present Term of
 Supreme Court.

In the closing hours of the hearing of fhe last division for this term of tha Supreme Court of Alabama, that tribunal yesterday delivered itself of fifty-one decisions and made rulings on twenty-seven applications for rehear- ing. It was the busiest day of the Court in many months.
 The members of the Court will sit in consultation for few days yet before taking the protracted vacation that IS now In order.
 There were many criminal cases from many sections of the State in yes- terday's long list. The man who fared worst at the hands of the Justices was Clarence Miller. He is a white man and was given the death sentence by the Jefferson County Criminal Court for the murder of Fred Rainbow, sa . loon proprietor of Birmingham.
 Mllier's sentence was affirmed in an almost peremptory opinion of Justice Anderson's. and the man will go to the scafrold, barring executive interfer- ence, on August [, 1908, just sixteen days and one year after the date of his crime. That was the day fixed by the Supreme Court yesterday as the time for execution settled upon by the lower court had expired pending the appeal.
 If Miller goes to his death it will be one of few white men who have plunged through the death hole of Jeff ferson County.
 He walked into the saloon of Fred Rainbow on Twentieth Street between First and Second Avenues on the night of July 22, 1907, and after a verbal trouble with a negro employe of the establishment demanded of the pro- prietor that the negro be discharged. This Rainbow refused and when he tried to reason with the druken cus- toner the latter lunged at him with an open pocket knife and stabbed Rainbow four times. The victim died in less than a day thereafter.
 Other Criminal Cases.
 Sam Mathis, of Pike County. is just where he was when he took his appeal from the judgment of the Pike Circuit Court, which had fixed his punishment at imprisonment for life in the peni- tentiary. The crime was the murder of Annie Mathis.
 Harry Scrogeings, of Jefferson Coun- ty, had his sentence of ten years af- firmed. He was convicted of the killing by a gun of Dwyatt A. West in Bir- minghan.
 Arthur Allen must now begin the service of his ten-year sentence for the crime of rape committed in Jefferson County, while Tom Ridgell. of Geneva County, is one of the appellants of the criminal class who will get e new trial of his case in which he was convicted of killing a man named McGee.
 Hance Jackson Is another of the ap- pellants who gets a new trial by the action of the Supreme Court. He was convicted of assault with intent to murder, committed on Archie Hardy in Bullock County. Hezzie Beverett must begin to serve his three years given by the Hale Circuit Court for assault with Intent to murder, alleged to have been committed on Anna Pearce.
 The entire Hist of opinions handed down yesterday follows: AH TYSON. c. J.

GREENWOOD MISSISSIPPI MORNING.
Opera House Tonight.


Editor Commonwealth, Greenwood
Miss:
Dear Sir:-on Friday night, May sth
the winona Amateurs give a comedy
play called SNOWFALL at the Opera
House in Greenwood under the auspices
of the Junior Guild of the Greenwood
Episcopal Church. This domestic COM
edy is called SNOWFALL because it grows
as 1t rolls, its interest increases and It's
complications grow.
l have to say for these players that
the personel OF their entire cast is ex-
cellent. There is not weak character
in the play, and the people Of Green
wood will be treated to performance,
which from an artistic and hstrionic
standpoint will prove itself decidedly
superior to that OF the average profes.
sional stock company. 10 fact, be-
lieve, your discriminating play goers
will be surprised at the talent displayed
by some of these young players.
Yours very truly,
b. f. WARD, JR,
Editor Winona Times.

Are You a Booster, or are You a
knOCker7

Are you boosting or are you knocking?
Are you building up or are you tear
ing down?
What are you?
There Is not room for many wreckera
10 any community, but there is room for
an army Of builders.
Stop just where you stand when you
read this. and look yourself squarely IN
the eye and answer the question: Are
you knocking our city? Are you knock
ing anybody?
Are you wrecker? Remember, then,
that you have but few years to live
In which to do good, while you have
more time than you require In which to
do evil.
Better begin now to be builder.
Begin to build up your neighbor.
Begin to boost the fellow that you
don't like. II the glorious Lord can
bear with his sins, you should be able
to, also.
The heather loves bis friend. Can
you not do little more than heather?
Are you wrecker or builder?
