POOR WHISKY
 MADE HIM BLOW
Negro Says He Will Not Pay 40 Cents for Whisky That Is
 Half Water.

Deputy Sheriff Dave Kennybrook sta tioned at Banner Mines, in the western part of the county, was called out of bed yesterday morning not long after day break by a negro who had found blind tiger and who for reasons obvious to him. self desired that the tiger be captured.
 MT. Kennybroo," the negro called to the deputy, who was still in bed, If I ain't too early for you, please get up. I got a nigger I wants arrested"
 MT. Kennybrook got up and after ques- tioning the negro received the following compaint:
 MT. Kennybroo, I don't mind if de niggers sells good straight corn liquor, but you see hits lak dis: went down to dis nigger's place and paid him 40 cents for half pint. Dat stuff was half water. I knows it was, and I ain't going to stand for no such treatment. De nig- gers gettin' rich imposing on us fellers dat way. and if us got to pay 40 cents a half pint for half liquor and half water we ain't got no entitlements at all"
 Fully convinced that he was being un- reasonably imposed upon the negro led the deputy to the blind tiger. The vio- lator of the prohibition law was placed under arrest. With resentment the tiger up.' He received this reply:
 'I certainly did turn you up. I ain't goin' to stand for no nigger selling me half corn liquor and half water for 40 cents a half pint.'s

BIG MEETING AT
 FIRST METHODIST
LAST OF SERIES WILL BE HELD THIS MORNING UNLESS THE EVANGELIST CAN BE INDUCED TO REMAIN.

The final night meeting of the great revival which has been so successfully conducted by Evangelist Brown. was held at the First Methodist church last night and resulted in many conversions. One hundred and two persons went up to be prayed for, and the meeting was notable for it's religious experiences.
 Every seat was taken ten minutes be- fore the services began and crowds were turned away. MT. Brown talked on "Weighed and Found Wanting" and gave his whole time to an appeal for imme- diate surrender to Christ.
 All the Methodist preachers and a num- Der of preachers from other denomina- tions were present working among the congregation. Singer Curry used all of his power for conversions and the crowd remained until 10:30 o'clock.
 The last meeting will be held at 10 o'clock this morning unless MT. Brown can be induced to continue it few days

WOMAN KILLED AND
 MAN BADLY HURT
WILL BROWN IS HELD IN JAIL ON CHARGE OF Arkoclous MUIR. DER AT THOMAS YESTERDAY MORNING.

Will Brown, a negro, is being detained in the county jail on a charge of mur- der under orders from Coroner B. L. Brasher. Brown is being held in con- nection with very serious shooting af- fray which occurred at Thomas yester- day morning shortly after o'clock. The shooting appears to be a somewhat mys- terious affair, although the coroner has not had time to investigate 1t.
 Yesterday morning a negro named Tom Jones and his wife were found in their home literally shot to pieces. The negro woman was dead and her husband was dangerously wounded.
 The woman was evidently shot from very short range. One bullet hole was found in her neck and there were three or four others In her right temple She evidently died instantly. Jones is shot once in the neck, once in the mouth and there are two or three bullet holes in his abdomen. There are fully ten wounds in the bodies of the man and his wife.
 Certain acts on the part of Brown aroused suspicion yesterday morning and the coroner had him committed to jail untll the caSe cdli pe iiFcSeie"eou. NiAiio it is suspected that Brown fired the shots which killed one of the negroes and per haps fatally wounded the other, the father of the dead woman Is of the opin- ion that Jones killed his wife and then shot himself.
 The crime is one surrounded by the most atrocious circumstances and the cor oner has so far been unable to throw any light upon it. He will probably go Into an official investigation of the kill ing one day this week.

BRAKES FAILED
 TO WORK ON HILL
Gray Car Badly Damaged and Mrs. Gray Bruised In Shades
 Mountain Accident.

Mrs. Henry B. Gray narrowly es- capped Saturday afternoon from very dangerous automobile accident. Friends who sufferel appreh ension about her condition wi 1 be glad to hear that she was not badly hurt, and was able to be up yesterday.
 After the automobile parade Saturday afternoon Mrs. Gray went out on Shades mountain, and coming back down the mountain the chauffeur lost control of the brake. The machine came down at a terrific rate, turning curves, and it was considered miraculous that the boy was able to guide it as far as he did.
 One wheel finally struck a tree, and glanced off. It was this shock which came very near injuring the passen- gers and did slightly bruise Mrs. Gray, but it gave the chauffeur time to run the car into, the bank on the other side of the road. Those who witnessed the accident considered the escape won- derful. The car was badly damaged.

MAY RUN EXTRA
 TRAIN ON SUNDAY
POINTED OUT THAT CHANGE ON L.&N N. WOULD GREATLY ACCOM- MoDATE VISITORS TO BLoUNT SPRINGS.

It is understood that there is a prob- ability that after May l the Louisville and Nashville accommodation No. 6, which leaves Birmingham at SIS for De- catur may be operated on Sunday as well as through the week.
 It Is understood that people interested at Blount Springs, as well as others in North Alabama, are making an effort to have the train operated on Sunday, and with the approach of the summer season this rumor is the source of considerable interest.
 With the present schedule on the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad 1t is pointed out that considerable inconvenience is Springs. Cullman and other northern Ala bama points on Sunday. If No. 6 were operated on Sunday as it is during the week it would make it possible to go to Blount Springs, Cullman or Decatur or any of the intermediate points Sun day morning and return the same day, reaching Birmingham in the evening at 7:15 D. m.
 During the summer many people go to Blount Springs Saturday afternoon on the train leaving Birmingham at 3:45 D. m., and return on Monday morning. but with No. 6 in operation it would make 1t pos sible to leave Sunday morning and re- turn Sunday night.
 It is also pointed out that No. makes connection at Decatur with trains for Huntsville and other points and by the operation of the accommodation on Sun day all of north Alabama would be bene- filed

CITY ITEMS.

Injured in Surrey.-Wil1 H. Harkley sustained a bad sprain to his righ t ankle as the result of a rather peculiar accident on the Owenton road early yesterday morning. With a party of friends he was driving in a surrey belonging to File Roberts, being seated in the front. A large country wagon driven by a negro came around the curve from the opposite direction, hit ting the front of the surrey. Harkley jumped into the air as it swung around, and the surrey was knocked from under him. He landed heavily on the ground, turning his right ankle as he did so. The injured ankle swelled rapidly and it was at first thought that it was broken. Harkley was placed in the surrey and taken back to his home in owenton, and will probably be con fined for some little time.

 Couture and intellectual power may be a selfish and degraded thing wrapping the robes of self-suffieiency about it's form while passing by on the other side, or it may be an unselnsh and ennobling possession on life's highway of service, forgetting itself sufficiently long to bind up the broken in body and to heal the sick in spirit
 Artificial standards of life, the mistake of calling mere bigness greatness the speed that weakens, and the pace that kills, and the ruling passions of pomp and parade stifing the breath of true virtue-all these are today denying the salvation of service and the unselfishness of love, and the happiness that comes from conformity to the Christ ideal.
