 Other members of the association preceded them home. while a num- ber of others were not ready yet to tear themselves away from the sea- shore pleasures of Panama City.

Coroner Brasher. who went to the mines, made an investigation into the killing, and informed the sheriff that, in his opinion, the murder was bru- tai one.
 The father and brother of Staggs came to the city early this morning and called at the sheriff's office, in- forming that official that William Etaggs would be in to surrender. II was learned that staggs and another man. both armed with shot guns. were on the Frisco train coming to the city. but they aiightsd before reaching Pratt City.

WILL QUALIFY IMMEDIATELY Sheriff Drago Leaves
 For Mobile. WILL GIVE UP BUSINESS Not a Candidate to Succeed
 Himself. sThere is Growing Tendency to , ~ strictly Enforce Laws in Mobiie."
 New Omcisl In Excellent Humor.

Before departing last night for his home. after his appointment as Sheriff of Mobile County to succeed Frank Gag alas. ST.. removed by impeachment pro- ceedings, John s. Drago said that he would qualify for the ofice before the end of the week. and that Friday was the most likely day. He is to malxe xe bond in at least 35,000 to be approved by the Probate Judge of Mobile Coun- ty. .
 MT. Drago will not be a candidate to succeed himself in 1911. He says that he intends to ga in for his best service during the year and . half that Is coming to him by appointment and that will end his political career.
 "No, think will be satisfied with eighteen months of the off1ce." said the new appointee. "I don't believe 1t pays a man to stay in politics indefinitely. ! have consented to serve out the re- mainder of the present term and pro- pose to do my duty as I see 1t. I do

TOP" TO BE
 TESTED BY STATE LAW

That White Top." the popular beer substitute manufactured by the Capitol Brewing Company of Montgomery. will undergo the test of the law, to deterrn- inc whether or not 1t is in the prohibited class of near-beers, is as. sured, according to reports from Birm- ingham which tell that Julius Marx. the Birmingham agent, has been ar rested on a charge of violating the prohibition law.
 An immediate trial will be entered in Riringham. to decide as 10 the legality of the sale of "whlte Top"
 More of the White Top" is used in Montgomery as a beer substitute than any other beverage. as the connection of the local brewery has proven popu. lar from the first. It is widely usad throughout the State. and is famous elsewhere. Curiosity has been evinced, more than once. as to4whether it is prohibited by the constfuction of the near beer law as made by the Supreme Court, and which prohibits the well known Hop Jack"

not believe that the general tendency of Mobile citizens is to violate or defy the laws. On the contrary. theye 10 . growing disposition to enforce the, laws down there."
 The new sheriff of Mobile County was in . good humor last night as he Is always said to be. Anecdofe after anecdote flowed from him as he held conversation with state officials and others at the Exchange Hotel. He does not harbor anything against any of the men who so persistently opposed his appointment.
 The reason of Mir. Drago's delay until Friday, before qualifying as Sheriff. is the necessity to prepare for leaving his business as grain dealer in the Gulf City. He will leave 1t in charge of his son and will devote his entire time to the duties of his new position.
 It was learned last night that the Governor had settled upon s. F. Mer- riwether as the proper man to i'll the vacancy in the Court of County Com missioners of Lowndes County. caused by the resignation of W. c. Brightman. There WIS a warm fight for this posi- tion and many friends of the applicants came to Montgomery to see the Gov ernor in their interest.

New York, June 22.-AnOther man registered a claim today as a discov- erer of perpetual motion. He Is Frank McAIahOn, a white haired carpenter Of Brooklyn. who has invented a wheel with twelve spokes, On the end of each of the spoke Is sliding weight which Is connected with piston on the spoke behind.
 These sliding weights, MT. McMahon says, make one side of the wheel heavier than the other. Thus gravity makes the wheel revolve. Fearing that some one might steal his inven- tion McMahon would not show 1t un- til he hears from the patent office.

 The Bee was in error, last week, in stating that the tree expert who did the work for George F. Shelton on his trees was from New Haven. They were from Frost & Bartlett of Stamford. Also the statement in regard to the road in front of MT SheltOns place being built 100 years or more ago is incorrect as the road was built about 50 years ago by Aaron Shelton, father of George F. Shel- ton, tEe present owner, and was built on his own land to accommodate his customers who used to come to his store, which stood on the corner. The original road vas farther to the north than the fine new road which MT Shel- ton has so generously built on his own land at his own expense and the whole ground in front of MT SheltOn's is his private property as the old homestead deeds show. MT and Mrs Shelton are both generous and public spirited citi- zens and are making all the improve ments about their pace to make it more attractive and a more enjoyable home to live in and in so doing not only add to the value of their own place but to all adjoining property and to SOuthbury Street. It is a shame that any citizen )f this town should try in any way to hinder them in thier good work. It every one took the same interest that Mr and Mrs Shelton do in their property 1ur country town would be much more beautiful and more desirable places to i've in.

Pleasing as is the improved condition of the ceme- tery, it seems of more importance still that future care should be provided for Without continued yearly care the grounds must soon go back to old con- ditions of weeds and bushes Perhaps many would say and with much force. that the villagers should have interest and pride enough to keep the whole cemetery in good condition, yet it seems reasonable to us to think that no one can be quite 500 deeply interested to do this Cor cause it to be done) as the flesh and blood relations of those there buried. Very many of those resting there have none now living in the place, who even know them. It is to us praiseworthy sentiment to keep the grass bright and green above such who- ever they may be. Up to this time there has been no way in which funds could be given if desired to secure future care, except to place moneys in the hand of private parres. This has not in the past proved very satisfactory. The New Preston Village Cemetery Association formed last winter under the state law, | is the owner of grounds adjoining the | cemetery which it has somewhat inn proved. This organization has a small 1 fund and obligated itself to give yearly care to such lots as it sells, also it has assumed care of the majority of the lots adjoining belonging to individuals. It has also already been engaged to give special care to few family plots in the old cemetery, by the gift of friends or relatives of trust funds for investment the income of such funds to be applied, IS directed by the donor. The associ- atiOn will be glad to engage to do fur her work of this kind if desired by any. It is thought the association will be willing to assume the thorough care of he entire grounds whenever it's in- 1ested fund shall reach an amount of which the yearly income will warrant heir so doing.-[A member of the as- ;OcatiOn.
