REMARKABLE TALE OF CRIPPLED HOBO

Memphis Tenn, November 6.-(Spe- cial)--George Young of Williamson, county, Texas, narrowly escaped death three different times-from fire, freezing and drowning-within 12 hours, accord ing 10 his remarkable story. Young may not be entirely truthful, but this is what he tells:
 Running out of fuel, a crowd of tramps and buns in the willows on the levee front, known as Hobo Hollow, pressed the wooden leg of Young into service while he slept, they neglected to de- tach the leg from his body, and flames soon consumed the bottom, ignited Young's trousers and burned the remains Of his real limb.
 Awakened in a stinging pain and near ly overcome by smoke, Young found his clothes on fire. and group of tramps laughing and warming their hands over the burning remains of what was once his wooden leg. Distinguishing the blaze with difficulty and cutting loose what was left of the peg. Young deserted the camp and crawled away several hum dred feet. ne fell asleep from exhaus- ton and was awakened Saturday morn ing by a downpour of rain. He was ruab and cold. Realizing that he would freeze to death unless he moved about, Young crawled about on his hands and one good leg and beat his body. In wandering about the levee in the dark Eess Young went too close and fell in. With boathook and assistance from reighbors. J. R. Harris, fisheyman. pulled the unfortunate hobo, more dead than alive. from the chilly waters of the Mis- sssippi x t
 Young was taken to police headquar- ters where he was given medical atten- tion. There is no charge against him. The city carpenter likely will be called into service and a. new leg constructed,

PRIZE WINNERS
 GREATLY PLATED

Cuba. November 6-(Special w airing the smile that won't come off the par tcipants in the West Alabama fair re- gently held in Tuscaloosa, who won prizes, are exhibiting them to admring friends today. Possibly the most elated one is Dr. A. l.. Vaughan, who took sec ond prize for corn. He has been experi- menting for some time to get corn that he considered pellagra proof and believes that in his Beauty" corn, which makes a fine white meal that can be cooked through and through, that he has solved the problem if there be anything in the claim that pellagra is produced by unsound corn meal. The certificates of awards are pasted on the doors of the bank, where they will remain for a few days, and then be framed. The winners were: w. Y. Shaw. first prize for cot ton; W. G. Mcdonald, second; J. l.. Swain first for corn, and A. l.. Vaughan. The contest has proved of immense ben eft to all. and the winners announce their intention Of going to Birmingham next veal and taking some of the fat prizes offered there.
 An Atlanta concern is figuring with
 
 the town authorities on the putting in of water works system here. They have been advised that the town is hardly large enough, but by reason of the water supply being S5 feet higher than the town they believe that it can be put in so economically that the revenue will pro tect the interest on the investment. The farmers with lands lying in town are much interested as 1t will make it possi- ble for them to adopt irrigation in small way. The rate for insurance now paid by most of the merchants Is 10 per cent which would be greatly cut down with a water works system. The project may materialize.
 Cotton receipts here to date do not bear out the bumper estimates being put out on the various exchanges they are running about in line with last year. Farmers generally are in mood to test the power that 14-cent cotton has given them and are holding for better figures. but those whose obligations are not dis charged are selling. Excellent out-turns are being daily made by the local gin plant, the best to date being two bales of Brooks improved of which 2S05 pounds of seed cotton made two bales weighing 1125. This cotton runs nearly 40 per cent lint for field run pickings.
 The social event of the week was party for the young set given by the Orpheus Music club of which little Miss Merle McGowen Is president.

P,,,ex Case Important

That the outcome of the prosecution against Alonzo Bailey in the supreme court of the United States will be Of material benefit to the south In an inn migration way is the latest view or the case which has heretofore not been given much consideration. Lawyers who have made a study of the situation, and southern promoters who are versed with the case in so far as 1t applies to violation of a written contract, pun ishable by imprisonment. say that im- migrants are gradually being steered in a westerly direction as result or false representation of the situation in Alabama and the south generally.
 Several years ago Bailey was ar rested under authority of the statutes on n charge of having with every in tant" attempted to violate written contract. on the strength of which he had secured money from his employer The employer had made loan to the negro with the understanding existing that the negro should give full value received in manuaE labor. Before all inc money had been paid back, how ever. Bailey quit work, leaving a bal ance still unpaid. His arrest. followed by A series of court proceedings. have been productive of one Of the most eX- tensive Allegations that have appeared at any time In the annals of the com monwealth's history
 In all of the arguments Of the case the equation of honest work and dis honest work has geen fully aired, the states position being that the con tract law of Alabama seeks to punish only when advances are secured by the dishonest laborer with an intent to defraud" Attorneys who are t> ing the law. however. assert that the honest laborers who act in perfectly good faith in securing their advances should not be subjected to punishment, from which general conclusion they have drawn their logic. They allege that a condition of peonage is cre- ated.
 The gist of the whole opposition to the statute seems to be in the state ment of an attorney for Bailey who says that "a statute should never be so broad that the greed of a few un- scrupulous employers could punish alike the innocent and the guilty. or the innocent and honest employe along with the dishonest employe, who mali ciously sets out with every intention of defrauding his employer, afterwards repudiating his obligation

BIG PLANTATION
 CHANGES HANDS

Thomaston. November 6-(Special) J. Messrs Marks & Gayle of Montgomery have sold their large plantation about four miles south of this place. This place embraces about 1900 acres and Is in the best part of what is known as the flat woods" of Marengo county. It is very fertile, is level and would make an ideal plantation for subdivision into small farms. The purchasers are unknown here, but the fact that the place sold for a good price in spite of the expected presence of the muoh-talked-about boil weevil in the next few years, shows that other people are beginning to realize that the lands of the black belt are suitable for something else than cotton.
 The Marengo County High school al this place is steadily growing. and the enrolment for the present year to date is already about 9 per cent more than the enrolment for the entire session of last year. The faculty is hard at work having considerably more to do than heretofore as all four years of the High school course are now represented in the student body. The two literary SO cieties organized in the last term of last session have laid out a plan for their work for this session The 1elian society will make study of the life and works of Whittier, while the CalIiopean society has been studying the Oberammergau passion play, and will soon take up a course Of reading and study from south ern authors.
 The girls basketball teams, the Grays and the Blues, are fast learning the game and played a match game Saturday in which the score was IS to in favor of the iGrays, although the score might have been different If two of the regular play CTS of the Blues had not been out of the game temporarily. Only a few invited guests witnessed the game. as 1t is not the desire of the faculty for the girls to play in public The boys team will soon be ready to play any teams of like class with whom games can be arranged.

Temperance Pincards

Twenty five thousand placards Of temperance. embracing four sets for each school under state supervision, have been sent to the various county superintendents of education, and will be placed on the walls Of the schools as provided in the act of the leeisla- ture which was approved August 19, 1909 One set of the plaeards will be sent to each institution, each sec em- bracing four separate placards. On each placard are to be found from five to six quotations from the Bible and from leading public speakers from all over the United States.
 The act of legislature providing publication and placement of the pla . cards carries with 1t provision that the state should furnish each school with a set of the placards, and in order to facilitate the work of getting the sets to the schools with the least ircon- venience, orders were given hN the departmen of education thaf the placards should go direct from the pub fishing house to the county suparin tendents It is the duty of each coun- ty superintendent to see to it at once that the placafds are immediately placed Accompanying the placards are copies of the act of legislature which makes the placement of the quotations inn perative.
 It is roughly estimated that there are in the neighborhood of 60o0 state schools Tnasmuch as there were or dered 6250 of each placard it Is thought that there will be more than enough for all purposes.
 Tn order to comply more fully with tho provisions of the temperance law, the department of education has also secured a number of pamphlets setting forth names of many authorities on temperance. These are to be used in connection with the annual celebration of temperance day in all of the schools.
