RAMS HORN PHILOSOPHY

The kind of resisting that makes
the devil fly from you, is the kind
that keeps up hot fire seven days
in the week.
The greater our need may be the
more ready the Lord is to supply it.
If we knew God better it wouldn't
be so hard for some of us to trust
him.
To be ready is more than half the
secret of success in life.
There is more power in a mustard
seed grain Of faith than there Is in {
pound Of dynamite.
A habit cannot be formed in /,
day nor broken in an hour.
The best preparation for tomorrow
is to do your best to-day.
The man who has to five on corr
bread at home IL always finding faul
with the pie when he travels.

THE EARLY STRUGGLES
 OF WALTER l.. HAWLEY

into the establishing of the paper began to suffer from cold feet and declined to put up the necessary money to maintain the paper. The enterprise failed and Hawley found his paper an incubus and himself stranded on the rocks of finan- cial ruin. He owed everybody in town, for he had been running his paper on the hope of glory. which never came.
 "Hawley, however, had made a repu- tation that had extended beyond the lim- its of his bailiwick, and was offered job on the Birmingham Iron Age, where he went and assumed task in a broader field. He made good in the place and re- maned with that paper for a number of years While doing reportoral work on that paper he wrote and had published in book form the story of Dick Hawes-his murder of his wife and child and subse- quent execution on the gallows-which story was widely read.
 And be it said to his credit, Hawley, while engaged on the Birmingham paper, stnted and saved from his salary a suffi- cient sum to pay every cent of his Ox- ford indebtedness. It took him several years to do this, but he did 1t like man. His work on the Birmingham paper had given him still wider reputation. The New York Sun saw in him ability that 1t coveted for use on that journal and of- fered him a position. He accepted and made good in this new and broader field, remaining with the Sun to the close Of his career few days ago.
 But the most astonishing thing to me was that Hawley became regular con tributor to Appleton's Scientific Monthly, and wrote some of the finest and most important papers on scientific subjects that paper ever contained. Knowing, as 1 did, that the man had had no training of thought along such lines, it was diff cult for me to understand how he did it. Yet 1t was native, good sense, coupled with tremendous energy and determina- tion that enabled. him to accomplish so much. He was a self-made man from start to finish.

Anniston, F ebruary 13-(Special. )-From plowboy to one of the foremost political and scientific writers of the United States was the remarkable rise in the world made by Walter L. Hawley, who recently died while employed on the New York Sun, where he achieved ithe zenith of his fame. graphic story of his career-his tireless lucubration, his indefatigabe energy, his struggle with debt and ad- versity, his uncompromising honesty and his loftiness of characta-is told by Judge w. W. Whiteside, chancellor of the Northeastern division of Alabama, who was associated with MT. Hawley during his early career in this county
 In speaking of the life of Hawley. Chan cellor Whiteside says:
 "Walter L. Hawley came to Oxford a young, unmarried man and rented lit tie farm, now owned by L. G. Jones of this city, but then the property of E. G. Robertson, an Oxford merchant. lie worked on the little farm until the crop had been made and then began clerking in MT. Robertson's store. Here he de- veloped such tact and ability as a sales ------ permanently in that capacity.
 While thus engaged he began to write Oxford locals for the Jacksonville Re- publican, but his style was that of novice. He had no education above the average country boy, but he was a diligent student, employing every spare moment in reading books and papers that were in structive and it was by this means he acquired an education and not by training in Oxford colleges, as has been said; for if he ever attended college single day
 do not remember 1t, and think should
 do so If 1t was true.
 'Later he became an assistant for Edi- tor MoIian in the publication of a paper,
 which the latter had established In ox- ford, and worked for time on that, but
 a disagreement between the two came
 about which led to a severance. In the meantime Hawley had married Miss Johns. the daughter of the village black 1 smith, and had established little home | of his own in the city. A political cam paign came on and alliances were formed. | Hawley was asked to establish paper of his own to fight political battle, and | to this end was furnished some money | for the purpose.

NEGRO WOMAN IS
 BURNED TO DEATH

horrible death with indications point ing strongly toward murder came to Emma Harvey, an aged negro woman, Friday night at her home on Sixtyfourth street, between Second and Third ave- nues, Woodlawn.
 Policeman Fowler of the Woodlawn force found the charred body of the woman about o'clock yesterday morn ing in her house. She had been sitting in a chair, which was almost burned up, while a large hole was burned in the floor It seemed strange to the officer that the fire should burn such a large hole in the floor and then go out without fur ther damaging the house.
 Arthur Dixon and his wife, Alberta Dixon, negroes living in the opposite end of the house, were placed under arrest by Policeman Fowler, and placed in the county jail on warrants issued by Cor oner Brasher. The coroner will hold an investigation tomorrow.
 It appears that the woman owned the house and that she had recently made a will naming Arthur Dixon as her heir. She was very feeble, and the other two negroes admit having placed her in the chair Friday night. Their accounts of their movements after this time, accord ing to the officers, are widely different.

SAFE IS BLOWN OPEN
Selma Underwriters Association Holds Meetineand Elects officers-L. Thal- heiner Is President-Mrs. Caw-
 thon Will Represent Selma.

Selma. February 13.-(Special. )-An- other postoffice safe robbery for this sec tion was committed Saturday morning, presumably about 1 o'clock, at Orrville, IA miles west of Selma. The postoffice is in G. w Burtons store and when he went to open up his establishment in the morning he found that the front door had been prized open and that the safe in which the postoffice supplies and money were kept had been blown open.
 The entrance was effected by forcing open the shutter, a wooden affair, over the glass door and then removing the entire glass in it's frame without shat terlng the glass in the slightest once inside the store the yeggmen drilled a hole at the bottom of the safe and with high explosives literally blew the door to pieces From the safe there was missing s25 in money belonging to the postonice funds. between S20 and $50 belonging to MT. Burton and about $50 in stamps Also large number of private papers, in cluding life and fire insurance policies of no value to anyone but the owner.
 In an old pocketbook in one of the pigeon holes of the safe was s76 which the robbers overlooked. If they saw the book they thought it unlikely that It contained anything and did not take it.
 A negro reported in Orrville Satur- day that he passed the store in which the postoffice ise located about l o'clock and saw a light through the door. He did not think anything of it as he thought MT. Burton had come downtown for something that he had left. The robbery must have occurred about 1:Qo o'clock, as the clock in the store was stopped at that time. Several residents declare that they heard two reports, the first muffled and the last about like a big firecracker.
 Sheriff Dohertys office was notified about o'clock Saturday morning but as the county has no dogs nothing could be done to track the robbers.

Cawthon had been selected to represent Selma in the Congress of Beauty" which is to be held in Mobile during Mardi Gras. Quite a number of votes were cast in the contest.
