SPRING FoRRToLD
 BY THE wOODPEcKER

Did you hear a gentle, strange rap ping noise outside as you flung open your shutters Friday morning to catch the freshness of the first real spring weather of the year? If you didn't, yousshould have. for others did.
 It was the greeting of the white winged woodpecker, which all woods men swear is the most reliable. the most authentic harbinger of spring.
 The ground hog? Why. the folks of the bird cult vow that the white wing ed woodpecker stands to the ground hog as a weather prophet. as an ace to a deuce. They say that he comes with warm weather. the first real spring day, and with his coming Is ,banfshed all vestige of the cold days. There will be no more. they say. for the little bird has placed his mystic sign manual upon the weather and 1t Is to be warm henceforth.
 Friday was different from any day vet. There was fresher greenness. there was more of the sweltering at- mosphere during the midday and af- ternoon; there were innumerable pur- chases of straw hats.
 And all because the white-winged wood d-pecker is here; or rather, that is inc reason he came. For he does not bring warm weather, he comes with 1t. and when he comes |, he stays through the season. Believe 1t. the becker woods advocates say there Will be nothing but spring. and long hof summer, for the next six months.

 A ruling of Attorney General Garber has established, long before this, the statute as to special contracts" which are prohibited. All life insurance com panies. to the Knowledge of the in- surance officials. have executed con- tract not to write special contracts. with the Exception of the Guarantee Life.
 The officials announce that it has come to their attention that the com pany is vet issuing special contracts knowing the same to be contrary to the law. Hence the action in cancel ling the license.

FOURTH BODY
 IS RECOVERED Remains of Willie Dl-
 lard Found. IS RECOGNIZED BY CLOTHING Hunting Trip Idea is Finally
 Eliminated. Two White Men Made the Find Tn chappeli's Bend. Just Below City. Funeral To Take Place This
 Afternoon.

Having been in the Alabama River just one month and one week. the body of Willie billiard, the young boy who was drowned on March 10, was re- covered vestefday afternoon. It was discovered at Chappelrs Bend. about two and one-half miles down the river from the city. lying upon the bank. from which the waters had receded.
 The body was in a frightful state of decomposition. and 1t was only by the clothes. which were familiar to the kinsmen of the dead boy. that it could be identified. It is thought that tDn- lard. after he had gone down to his death. had been driven along. under the surface, until the body became en- tangled in rubbish below the water. and was prevented from rising, or from being discovered. until the waters had fallen. t4
 The body was found by Fly Gardner and Claud Parker. two white men who were rowing near the spot. It was brought to the city. and will be inter- red this afternoon at o'clock. from the residence of the boys father. Cap tain W. T. Dillard. at Ill Whitman Street. Rev D. H. AIcNeal. of the Clayton Street Methodist Church, will oficiate. the interment to be in Oak wood. "
 Jeh fact that the four who were Known to have been drowned were re- covered. without sign of another. leads to the -contrayention of the theory that five men were thrown into the river as the boat capsized. At first it was the general opinion that five men were, drowned, but later many held that only four men were over- turned, the body of the dog in the wa ter being taken for the fifth man.
 Willie Diilard was found lying with his coat off. and with pockets empty. except for large spool which once held thread. Thus. the idea possessed by many. that the four were on q hunting trip. Is eliminated. It is thought now that the boys went across the river with old Bob, the ferryman. merely for a lark
