CHILD DRINKS
CARBOLIC ACID
Timely Work of Mother and Physician
Saves Little Royce Ledford of
Alfalfa.

Alfalfa, March Especial -Royce, the
4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. ].
Ledford, happened to an accident yester-
day morning which came near costing him
his life. In playing about the house he
found bottle of carbolic acid, and in
some way removed the cork and drank
some of it. But for the prompt action of
his mother and several neighbors, who
were hastily summoned, he would have
died before physician could have
reached him. DR.. Wood was called and
by hard work probably saved the little
fellows life. At this time the child is
resting easy and the chances for his re-
covery are good.
Mrs. e. c. Cash remains seriously i'll.
John Armstrong has sold his interest
In the Armstrong Bros livery stable in
Alfalfa to his brother, Louis, and has
moved with his family to Oklahoma.

night. The retiring board holds a warm
place in the hearts of the Alfalfa peop-e.
Mr. Showers, the new mayor, promises
many good things for our town.

Stark Daniel

After Shooting the Man Rowland
Wires Sheriff and Starts Out
Afoot to Give Him
self Up.
HAD BEEN THREATENED

Russellville, March Especial. wv. ].
Rowland, agent for the Southern railway
at Darlington, this morning shot and
killed Stark Daniel Rowland immedi-
ately wired the sheriff here to come after
him. A posse left Immediately for the
scene Of the killing on handcar and
met Rowland about one mile this side of
Darlington. The posse brought him in
and put him in jail.
Sunday night Mr.. Daniel is said to
have cursed and abused a woman in the
waiting room of the depot at Darlington
and for this Rowland had him arrested
and put under bond. This action enraged
Daniel, who notified Rowland by two
persons that unless he left Darlington be-
fore shutdown of yesterday he, Daniel
would kill him. This morning Rowland
opened the office at the usual hour. Rails
ing the window and looking out he saw
Daniel approaching with a Winchester
across his arm. When within about 80
steps of the depot Rowland fired with a
Winchester pump gun. The first shot
knocked Daniel down and his gun fell
from his hand. He reached for 1t and
Rowland shot again, firing a number Of
shots, until Daniel was dead. Rowland
turned Immediately to his instrument and
wired the sheriff, and then started for
this place and met the posse, as above
stated.
The date has mot yet been set for the
preliminary hearing. Rowland is origi-
nally from Pell City and at ont time was
express agent at Indanola, Miss. He has
been here only few months, taking the
place of another agent at Darlington,
who killed Hooker about one year ago
in the same room from the window of
which Rowland fired and killed Daniel.
Rowland is a young married man and Is
we'll liked by all who know him. This, he
says, is his first row.
Daniel was about 40 years of age and
had elived at Darlington several years.
He was a very capable mine and quarry
foreman. He leaves a wife and several
children some of whom are grown.

Madison county grand jury has begun its
semi-annual grind with instructions to
prohibition laws. Judge Tancred Belts
charge to the grand jury was lecture on
the evils of cigarette smoking and a
warning to bootleggers of liquor. It Is

minor, and Judge Belts asked the jury
to try to run down some Of the hun
dreds of persons who are believed to be
guilty of such infractions.

I'VE have the law" he said, "anG It
makes no difference whether or not we
are local optionists or prohibitionists it
is our duty to give 1t a full, fair test

rigid enforcement of 1t. This law is the

might be called the cream of the best
sentiment in the state. 1t was step in
the interest of good morals, and is en-
titled to full faith and credit, and If it

those prophets Of evil who are seeking
to make 1t a failure, but by those w.o
are now its friends and well wishers,
but who will have become convinced that
it has not accomplished what they hoped
for It,"
Judge Belts gave a warning to prospec-
tive violators. saying that a hard labor
sentence awaits every conviction in his
court and that this did not mean that a
few negroes would reach the coal mines
and white men escape. that he does not
wish to get anybody in trouble, bu, 20
keep them out of trouble by serving this
warning. He urged the grand jury to
make a thorough investigation of alleged
violations and report bills in all cases
where 1t is possible to secure sufficient
evidence.

Tho story leaked out, however and
Magistrate Gluckman was asked by
two newspaper men on Saturday night
IL he had issued such a license.
He thought a moment before reply

issued the license to was named

the right name Of the man married
was learned from DR.. Abels and thus
complications were avoided.
