STUDY WOMEN AS
YOU RIDE IN CARS

A more than profitable way of enter
tanning ones self while riding down
town Of a morning is to scan the faces
of the women passengers on the other
side of tho car. At least one-half of
them have that tired, worried look.
Watch them ihtently for minute or so
and it viii get on your nerves. Then
glance at the other women whose ex-
pressions are pleasant. Isn't it a re-
liefl
Just because those pleasant looking
women are pleasant looking is no as
surance that they ought to look pleas
ant. For all you know, the woman at
thosend Of the,car with the most serene
of expressions is worrying about thing
thousand times more vital than that
which troubles the sour-faced woman
Just across from you. one woman has
acquired the art OF looking pleasant
and the other has not.
Charm in Placid Look.
II woman only knew 1t, one OF her
chief charms IS a placid, pleasing ex-
preston when her face is in repose.
The average woman finds 1t easy TO
look pleasant when her shoes pinch or
an unreasonable pin is making its pres
ence felt; but she gives up in despair
If the cause Of her unpleasant express
sion be mental worry.
If one gives up 20 minor worries that
can't be helped a picayune by worry,
her features become set in unpleasant
lines Look your troubles squarely in
the face, and resolve firmly not TO let
them worry you sufficiently to stamp
their lines of unploasantness upon your
face. An ounce Of prevention of this
sort Is worth several pounds Of beauty

When the Ballingers left Decatur and went to the state of Wash ington (then territory) they sold their home In New Decatur to Samuel Whar- ton The home is now occupied by Mrs. Samuel Wharton's sister, Miss Shepard.

POLITICAL AND OTHER
 GOSSIP AT THE CAPITOL
By HERveY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery March 6-(Special)-Th week has developed more interesting situation about the capitol than the de- termination of Gov. B. B. Conner to un- dertake the impeachment of Sheriff Ca zalas of Mobile, on the charge that he failed to properly safeguard a negro in the jail of Mobile, who was taken out and hanged by a mob Petitions are in both for and against the officer and the outlook is that it will be a hard fight, with very little chance to reach a con viction.
 The outcome of movements of this kind is for the most part with the local peo- ple mans own neighbors While there seems reason to believe that the jail was not guarded as it ought to have been, there are enough friends of the sheriff to give him a fighting basis that will al most certainly result in his being let out of any punishment. The fact is 1t is mighty hard to throw a man out of a place of this kind and the general be- lief is that the sheriff of Mobile is safe to serve out his term, so far as the pres ent suits are concerned.

 Alabama is going to have a prominent place in the immediate sittings of the interstate commerce commission, as well
 
 On April l. in Washington, the protests of the governor and the states attorneys backed by the railroad commission will be heard, this being in combination with other sections to the southeast that pro tested against the rate increases on grain and packing house products last August
 About the middle of the month the state cases before the circuit court of appeals at New Orleans will be argued by At torney General A. M. Garber and asso- ciate counsel and meeting of the inter state commission will soon be held in Birmingham. The cotton rates case of the railroad commission, now pending, will also be taken up by the commission in a short time, petitions and answers having been filed already. The hearing on the latter case will be brought to Mont gomery, if possible, because of the im- portance to the state
 Tariff Supporters.
 Alabama lumber men fear the discus- sion of the tariff question and the pros peot that the rate will be materially re- duced, if not cut off. In the main the belief is that there will be no great loss, but the fear is the sentimental falling off.

We can put the price up to cover that and meet the STU uation without any trouble If we try.

WOMAN HELD FUR . MURDER OF MOTHER Chiffon Is Shocked By Killing
 of Mrs. King DETAILS ARE GHAS1lY Woman's Head Was Crushed and Her Throat Cut From Ear to Ear.
 Grave Found In Yard
 of Victim.
DETAILS ARE GHAS1LY

Clanton. March 6.-(Special.)-Mrs.P Pope, aged 30 years, was placed in the Chiffon county jail here this morning on charge of murdering her mother, Mrs. King, Tn the western part of the county Thurs day Mrs. King was 70 years of age.
 Mrs. King lived seven miles from Mon tevallo in Chiffon county. The entire neighborhood Is shocked by the dastard- ly features of the crime. At first 1t was believed to have been the work of negro fiend, but later investigation de- veloped the idea that it must have been done by some one more closely connected with the family The body of the dead woman upon the floor, her head beaten in with a heavy instrument and throat cut almost from ear to ear, was the grue- some spectacle that greeted those vino first visited the scene.
 The family was in very poor circum- stances, but had the respect of the people of the neighborhood. Mrs. King was given to spells of insanity, but it is not known that she ever became violent or had given much trouble to the family and neighbors Mrs. Pope, the daughter accused of the murder, had separated from her husband and returned to the home of her mother She being in desti- ute circumstances, with two little chil- dren dependent upon her, at once began to work out to make living for them all. A second daughter of Mrs King is now in the insane asylum at Tuscaloosa. It is rumored in the neighborhood that the relations between Mrs. King and Mrs Pope were not very good and that they had recently had quarrels.
 The Swear old son of the accused wo- man was the first to discover the body of Mrs King. He returned ciom school about 220 o'clock and found the blood smeared ibody in the middle of the room, and bloodstains the window sill showed that the body had been dragged into the room through the window Tho alarm was quickly spread and the people of the neighborhood soon gathered a he scene of the tragedy An investigation showed that there had been a struggle in the yard in the rear of the house. and a new made grave was found in the yard, the perpetrator of the crime evidently intending to bury the victim. Around and about this new made grave is said to
  dence that pointed the finger of suspicion toward the daughter and led to her ar rest.
 About this grave were foot prints which, it is said were similar in every resp ect to some shoes which were found in Il Q house and said to be the property of Mrs Pope Mrs. Pope was at a neigh bors house and was notified of the mur- der of her mother. She hurried to the scene and feinted at the sight of her mother. Mrs. Pope Is prostrated with grief and stoutly maintains her inno- cence.
 The supposition is according to the coroner, that the person who murdered the aged woman, had a fight with her in the yard. During the fight she was struck over the head with a heavy in- strument and her skull crushed, and af- forwards her throat cut to make certain of the job. The body was then taken and
