Didn't Plead Guilty to One Count
Convicted on -Four.

The jury business of the district court
was disposed of before noon Wednesday.
The only subject under discussion was.
Resolved, that Bud White sold Booze. -
Arrayed against each other were County
Attorney Schenck for the affirma tive. and
Judge Joseph Reed for the negative After
hearing what these legal lights and pair
of undecided witnesses had to say, the
jury walked right out and turned around
and walked right in again with a YER
dict. 1t was to the effect that Mr.. White
was guilty on four out of the six counts
charged.
When the case was called, County Attor-
ney Schenck offered White the privilege
of pleading guilty on one count and avoid
ing trial White said he wasn't guilty;
plead guilty to anything. His mistake is
obvious, and needs no diagram.

The work of starting the new cafe
in the Commercial club rooms has been
delayed by several conflicting enter
prises that have kept the officials of
the club from giving the attention to
this matter which should be given. The
plans, however, are well started, and
the cafe will undoubtedly be started
next week. This will give the business
men of the city a greater opportunity
to get together and discuss matters
pertaining to the welfare of the city.
The plans are not ready for announce
ment yet. but is it known that the cafe
will serve a MONDAY lunch between
II and o'clock. The menu will be so
arranged that it will be satisfactory to
all classes. There win be a sumptuous
menu for those who wish to spend the
money, while a good meal can also be
secured by those of but moderate
means.

Her View of Art

An old gentleman who owned a fine estate not far from the country seat of the Duke of Devonshire (which is open to the public when the duke is not there) one day drove with a party of friends to this famous residence, talk ing with him his housekeeper, Martha, n good old soul who had been with him great many years.
 Arriving at Chatsworth, they passed slowly through room after room of al. most priceless pictures. But Martha spake never a word, although 1t was evident that she was not missing any thing. Each and every picture that her eye lit on underwent a most rigid scrutiny, much to the amusement of the rest of the'party.
 At last her master turned to her and said, "Well. Martha, what do you think of 1t all?"
 why" exploded Martha rapturous. ly. 'I canna see a speck O dust any where"-Lippincott's.

Tha Crime of Winnna

Senator Carter of Montana, a mem her of the Aldrich machine, has caused the insertion of rresident Taft's Win cna speech in the Congressional Rec. ord, and it can now be printed as Iubllc document and distributed in vast numbers, postage free.
 This is we'll for it draws the line against this administration at the right point. It shows at a glance the empti- ness of MT. Tafts opera bouffe war upon the worst combination of special interests this country has ever known. It distinctly commits the President and his administration to the Aldrich- Payne tariff, and upon it MT. Taft will stand or fall in 1912. With his custo- mary want of tact the President is committed to Aldrichism and he can not sidestep it now. Nor, indeed, does he intend to do so. He cultivates con stantly Cannon and Aldrich, while ne repels insurgent republicans. LaFol- lette and Bristow and Beyeridge and Victor Murdock and all their political friends are not made to feel at home at the White House, while the reaction aries are cordially welcomed there.
 MT. Taft must lie in the bed as he has made it, and it is to be hoped that Senator Carter will see that the Win ona speech is circulated from one end of this country to the other until every voter has a copy of it. It is the true issue of 1912

Our Imperial Policy in Nicaragua

Practically speaking, Envoy Greet of Mexico is in Washington hoping to in duce this country to substitute kindly offices in Nicaragua for forceful meas ures. If he can induce MT. Knox to swallow his own words by adopting the Greet plan, then the pacification of Central America would be carried for ward in Washington through the &C., ton of representatives of the seven republic interested--five in Central America, together with the United States and Mexico. MT. Creel certain ly has a big task on hand when he tries to induce this government to re- verse it's Nicaraguan policy.
 This policy is full of mystery. It as- sumes, or seems to assume, that the Estrada revolution in Nicaragua is an unmixed blessing, and should succeed. Some may think this policy as bump tiouS, but 1t IS policy neVertneleSS, and 1t must either be carried out or backed out from.
 Zelaya is a man full of resources, and the civil war in Nicaragua is by no means ended. Between what Ze- laya can accomplish and what Mexico desires and may attempt to secure, the Knox policy may have to become one of actual force, although it stands to- day unauthorized by Congress. The policy of the Mexican government is after all one to admire. It has re- trained from intervention. It desires pacification in Central America by peace methods, none of which would preclude reparation for the execution of Groce and Cannon. Events in Nica- ragua may transpire rapidly and then again Zelaya may postpone pitched battles until he is fully ready to pre- cipitate one The entire affair is in fact wrapped in mystery.

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
He Likes Birminuhan1,

rom the minute 1 stepped off the train in Birmingham this morning l have been more and more favorably impressed with the city" said Max Fabsh, personal rep resentative of Martin Beck, general man ager of the Orpheum circuit of theatres.
 I like your wide streets. I like the lay out of your streets. l like your metropol- itan appearance and hustle, I like your buildings. In fact. I like everything I have seen in Birmingham, and I am well pleased that we are to open an Orpheum theatre here
 Every theatre-goer knows the class of vaudeville entertainment the Orpheum cir cult provides, and Birmingham will get the same class of entertainment that Chi eago, St. Louis. San Francisco, New Or leans, Memphis and some 25 other Or pheum houses get. We open in Blrming- ham December 27, and we will have the old Hippodrome completely overhauled and in perfect condition for that night. One innovation we will introduce will be an orchestra of II pieces
 T think this is just the right time to come to Birmingham. From what your business men tell me- Birmingham is on the verge of the greatest prosperity In her history, and we want to share 1t. MT. Beck telegraphed me that he was i'm mensely pleased with Birmingham, and with the new Orpheum theatre here. and l want to add that voice his sentiments exactly"

Alabama's Centennial
patters.

his state will be one hundred years old on December IA, 1919-ten years hence less three days. And if the event is to be celebrated in an indus trial way, this district will be expected to take the initiative in organizing a great fair, to be wound up on the day the state reaches her first centennial anniversary.
 In 1910 this district will be hive of industrial enterprises. All the inter- vening time will be needed in order to let the iron and steel companies perfect their plans of extension and improvement. By 1919 this district i then be producing at the rate of partly from water-horne Cuban ores seeking fuel-ive millions tons of pig iron per annum, which will be convert cd into merchantable products on the spot. The open Warrior will be kept full of barges, for the coal production of this district in 1919 will be fully 30,- 100000 tons, and the Panama canal may carry it to still higher figures. The population of Jefferson county will alone be 5OO,O0O.
 And 1919 is not very far away. All preparations for the centennial cele- hration, so far as the state is con- cerned, must be made by the second coming legislature. One is to be elect cd next year, one in 1914 and one in 1918. The last named will not meet until 1919, and it follows that the legis- lature which meets in January, 1915. will be asked to act on the subject, and that legislature will be elected in 1914, which is not far away.

Toryism. The unionists are to large extent landlords and capitalists, and they will do nothing to hurt their class and caste interests. The liberals came into power four years ago, but they have been unable to help Ireland be- cause of the stand taken by the lords end the unionists. This campaign will turn upon a removal of the veto power of the lords upon all important legisla- ton, and upon the grant of home rule 10 Ireland. to which the liberals are no7 fully committed.
 Possibly some liberals led by Lord Roseberry may by the home-rule declaration be induced to vote with the unionists, but the gains will far outrul the losses, and MT. Asquith has no doubt done we'll politically speaking, by taking the stand he has. The cam raign is a strenuous one, and all the real liberals and progressives will now be lined up behind Mir Asquith while Mr. Balfour will lead the forlorn hope of the reactionaries and English stand patters.

lrelaDd'S Opportunity

In his speech at Albert Hall in Lon don, Premier Asquith declared that if the liberals are returned to power they will grant self-government to Ire land in purely Irish matters. This is Ireland's best opportunity to secure home rule, and MT. Redmond and the 1ationalists will no doubt accept the declaration and act up to it.
 At present the liberals have a work ing majority without the aid of the nationalists, but no one expects them to have as large majority in the new house. They will need the support of the nationalists in parliament, and they will need in the present campaign the votes of Irishmen not only in Ire land. but in England also, for in not a few English districts Irishmen are controlling factor.

SAFES AT BIG HOTELS.
VaIuables Are Kept There By Guests
 For Years at Time.

From the New York Sun
 A woman walked up to the counter of a fashionable hotel and asked for a package of valuables which was in the safe
 If had not wanted one particular thing I suppose I should have left the package where 1t was for another three years" she said to the clerk.
 Yes" said the clerk In answer to a question after the woman left, that packet had really been in our safe for three years. Why, we have all sorts of valuable papers, jewelry and even money that are entrusted to our keeping for years at time. People seem to prefer One reason. perhaps. is that it costs nothing. Another is that the standard of hotel clerks has improved.
 Tt is astonishing the amount of jew elry that people keep in hotel safes. Of course the owners have originally stopped in the hotel but they go away, leaving their valuables and I have known such persons to be gone as much as two years and never make an inquiry about their property in that time.
 'eTo show you how much confidence people have in hotels and their employees I might mention that the other day 8 man came in here and put four 5000 bills in an envlope. wrote his name on the latter and asked me to put it in the safe. Not long ago another man actually did the same thing with seven HOOOO bills."
 The clerks of several other hotels talked in a similar strain without any outside suggestion.
 "Ill bet I have handled more than million dollars worth of Jewelry today" said one. Look here," and he opened the safe and piled six or eight big jew lery cases on the counter, but hurriedly put them back Tn one of those know there is over $2oo,oOo worth. and what showed you was only few of what the safe contains"

The ProareasIve Spirit.

Jasper and Walker county are both calm and serene. now that the election is over" said Frank V. Evans, editor of the Walker County News, who was in the city last night q say calm and serene" continued he, 'ebut not inactive There is a superb manifestation of the progressive spirit in Walker, and at Jasper. especially, the people are buoyant with hope for great upward and on- ward move in 1910.
 Much building is going on. The new hub factory began opera tions yesterday, employing large force of men. and c movement is now on foot to put the bat tery of 300 coke ovens at Jasper in oper- ation. These ovens have been idle for four years, and when in commission make pay roll of 5000 per week. It is understood that Birmingham operators have acquired the property and are to run them. This means railroad track extension.
 Speaking of the value of the smaller industrial plants as feeders to railroads it Is stated on authority that the new hub factory at Jasper alone will furnish tonnage to the railroads of s15,OOO value per annum.
 Jasper has a bright future and that is why our people feel confident that the railroads are friendly to them and that even more railroads than we now nave will seek entrance there.''
