AENISTON MAY GET
 NEW PIPE PLANT
ANOTHER PIPE CONCERN AL READY IN OPERATION MAY BE MOVED INTO BETTER AND LARGER QUARTERS.

Anniston. December 25.-(Special.) )- a reliable source Anniston Is soon to have new pipe industry which will be located in the western part of the city. and 1t is said that another of the city's pipe industries is to be moved to larger querters in the same sec tion of the city and operated on larger scale than heretofore.
 Nothing definite has been given out in regard to either of these projects as yet, but it is understood that the Louisville and Nashville has already begun the laying of tracks and the i'm provement of old tracks to meet the demands of the new trade. It is un- derstood that the new plant will er7f- ploy about 125 men and be operated by former manager of another pipe plant in the city.
 Should the Anniston Foundry and Machine works occupy the old Weller rolling mill building, as rumored, they will in all probability employ an addi- tional number of men and increase the efficiency of the plant.
 Anniston already enjoys the reputa- ton of being one of the leading pipe cities in the country. pipe being man ufactured here, 1t is said, cheaper than at any other point in the United States. Furth ermore the Central foundry has established a record in the way of minimum breakage, only per cent or their output being lost in this way, this being due, 1t is said. to their skilled labor. The new plants will be located, 1t is said, near this plant and the Union foundry and the big United States plant, thus centerfng all or the pipe industries In one place.

 The name Van Barentzen gave no idea of the girls nationality. But in- quiry brought forth the fact that, while of Dutch origin, she is of American parentage. When this became known and was whispered around the hall applause broke forth again with re- newed enthusiasm. Prince Galitzen, an octogenarian Russian who fought against General de Gallifet at Sebasta- pol, kissed little Miss Aline on both cheeks when she had finish ed playing.

The company awaits only the appreciation of the gov ernment to begin work.
 Merchant vessels already proudly ply from the venerable seaport town 10 Hayre to the historic city of Reuen. The engineers of France do not antlci- pate much difficulty in making the Seine navigable for ocean steamers be- tween Rouen and Paris. Whether the work is so practical between i1avre and Paris remains to be seen.
 Paris owes much to the beautiful Seine. It Is the cheapest throughfare in the whole city. One can get an admirable birds eye view of the city by taking trip down the river from Passy or Auteuil to the bridge of Aus terlitz The fare is ? cents.

John Thomas Is Dead.

Huntsville. December 25-tSpecial)- Sheriff John Thomas of Madison county died in the New Market precinct yester- day after an illness that kept him con fined several years. He was prominent in Madison county politics just after the days of reconstruction and was sheriff of this county when Mike White. a white man. and two negroes, whom he had paid to murder man named Shoenberger. were taken from the jail by mob and swung to tree down in the spring branch bottom. This was one of the most sensational lynchings of the times and was the first that ever occurred here. The lynching was the work of an organized band of citizens who had been outraged by the assassination of Shoenberger, and they marched into the jail in spite of the fact that it was guarded by military company and hauled the three assassins out and then publicly executed them. Mir. Thomas leaves one daughter, Mrs Ed McCord. He was 90 years old. &

Kaiser Will Suggest Dress For lm-
 perial Aero Club.

Berlin, December 25.-(Speeial.)- Until recently the Imperial Automobile club was the only club in Berlin to which the Kaiser belonged and which possessed the privilege of prefixlng the word Imperial" to it's name.
 By the way of demonstrating his keen interest in aeronautical matters, his majesty has now conferred the same privileges on the Aero club. and with this promotion in social rank the members felt bound to adopt some kind of uniforms.
 Several patterns were submitted to the Kaiser by the officials of the club. but they did not please his majesty, so he is now designing one himself.
 It will be similar to that worn by the members of the Imperial Yachting club at Kiel, and will consist of dark blue cloth with large gold buttons.
 The peaked club cap will be adorned with the imperial eagle in gold sur mounted by two airship's propellers.

ACCOUNT OF DEATH
 OF LEON JORDAN

Talladega, December 25-(Special.)- )-The sudden and tragic death of Leon Jor- dan in the Mountain Home printing of flee was the subject of the widest ru- mors on yesterday afternoon. Crowds collected in front of the Home office, blocking the street. although the police opened the way again and again.
 There are two men named Jordan, enl- ployes of the Mountain Home, not of kin to each other. Leon Jordan. the dead man, was about IS years of age and unmarried Darsey Manning is about the same age. Both of them were quiet young men, and on this particular even ing they were running off the Home daily several hours earlier than usual in order that the employees might have the remainder of the time left for shop ping.
 Leon Jordan and Darsey Manning en- gagged in a playful. friendly scuffle-the other employees looked on with a toler- ant smile-one of them renlarking: You boys better quit your foolishness and finish getting out the paper"
 Manning threw Jordan in the scuf- He, when Jordan arose and remarked: Well, Dorsey, you got the better of me that time,'' and fell back and expired within few minutes.
 Manning hurriedly summoned doc- tor, who reached him only a second or two before he died There are no bruises or contusions on the person of Jordan except some finger prints on cash side of his throat His face was purple a few minutes after his death.
 A coroner's jury sat Until a late hour last evening Investigating the case and adjourned. awaiting the coming of the relatives of Jordan in order to ascertain if there would be objection to a post mortem examination. In the meanwhile young Manning was released on his own recognizance.
 Some of the leading citizens composed the coroners jury-J. B. White. Joe A. Edwards, Dr. W. F. Slaughter. J. F.. Davis and L. l.. Brothers. The employees in the Home office while they were wit nesses merely gave perfunctory atten- ton to the scuff1e. being engaged at other tasks, and the noise of the press running drowned out conversation, so that no one knows all the details Of the affair
 The best opinion seems to be that the death of Leon Jordan was caused from heart failure or strangulation- There evidently was no i'll feeling or anger in the scuffle engaged in between the two young men,

How to Tell Whether n Skin Affection Is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not.

8oW 10 Tell Whctner N okln AhcctR"n

 Sometimes it is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign of blood disorder or simply a form or eczema. Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis. The best way for any one afflicted is to go to Jacobs Pharmacy or any good drug gist who handles pure drugs, and oo- tain 50 cents worth of poslam. Apply this, and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is cured in a few days 1t may be set down as having been eczema, as this is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of eczema. and in curing acne. herpes. blotches, letter, piles. salt rheum, rash, barber's and other forms of itch, scaly scalp and all surface skin affections.
 Anyone who will write to the Elmer ency Laboratories No. 32 West Twenty fifth street, New York, can secure, by mail free of charge, a supply sufficient to cure small eczema surface or clear a complexion overnight and remove pimples in 24 hours.
