FLIPPED COIN ENDS LAWSUIT.
Fall of the Money Won So, 700 For
John w. Gates.

According to a story published in
New York, John w. Gates and John
e. Madden settled a lawsuit by a
flip of the coin Monday. Gates won
$1,000 on the first throw, and on
another toss he won 5000, repre-
senting the cost of the action.
The litigation arose over $1,000
worth of oil stock bought for Mad
den by Gates, and which the former
refused to accept After Madden
had testified before a referee Gates
suggested that they decide by the
coin who should pay the referee.
Madden accepted and cried, "heads. F"
The copper fell tails
Now I'll flip you" said Madden.

settle the case or whether you set

Tails" was Gates answer.
Tails it is" said Madden. To-
gether they visited the referee TO
tell him his services were no longer
needed.

HUMAN FLESH SCATTERED 100 YARDS

was blown through house over 700
feet from the plant The body en-
tered the house from the east side
and continued in a straight line
through a bedroom and out the other
side of the house to Louis avenue.
The torso of another man was found
in the garden of yard about so feet
west of the scene. Arms, legs and
parts of bodies were strewn about the
neighborhood.
The bodies of seven men, mutilated
beyond recognition, were found in
the north end of the mill.
"For Gods sake hit me on the
head and kill me-" cried one work
man to a man who found him. The
injured man had an arm torn off and
great hole in his side.
The plant had five mills. All the
employees working at mills one, two,
three and four were either killed or
injured, while the men in mill No.

COOKS DESERT KITCHENS.
Picking Strawberries at 81 Day

Picking Strawberries at 81 Day
Better to Them Than So Week.
Humboldt is now offering the US
ual annual conditions during straw
berry gathering time of being town
without cooks-at least so far as the
colored followers of the culinary art
are concerned.
For many years it has been an es-
tablished custom for cooks in the
town to go on strike and to remain
away all the time they are ripe and
then a long time thereafter.
Old inhabitants long ago learned
the utter uselessness of endeavoring
to persuade their cooks to stay with
their jobs during strawberry picking
time, and they in advance make ar
rangements to either eat at the no.
tells, do their own cooking or leave
town.
Much to the amusement of those
who so well know just what's going
to happen during strawberry time,
newcomers often move to Humboldt
and take their cooks with them, feel
ing sure they will be the envy of less
fortunate neighbors when the annual
exodus rolls around, but soon after
being left alone while neighboring
cooks are making their So per day
the new cooks hike to the berry
fields.

IN A CLASS WITH NOAH.
Iowa Farmer Prepared For Safety
When Comet and Earth Met.

Iowa Farmer Prepared For Safety
When Comet and Earth Met.
An Iowa farmer of the name of
NARROW prepared to write his name
in history along with that of Noah,
who had sense enough to get in out
of the wet. Mr. NARROW learned that
Halley's comet was coming this
spring as far back as four years ago,
and that it's tail would swipe the
earth. At once he began to get
ready for trouble. He dug a big cy-
clone cellar, and early last week
crawled into it with his wife, his
son, his daughter, one dog, two
cows, four pigs, ten chickens and two
horses, and prepared to stay in the
cellar until the comet is good and
gone. If Mr.. Marlow's expectation
that he and his will be the sole sur
vivors of the cataclysm should be
realized he would be at once the
richest and poorest man that ever
lived.

Three safe robberies in as many
days in this section are reported by
the Americas Times-Recorder
At Friendship, in Sumter county,
the safe in the store of Mr.. Ross Nc
Garrah was blown by burglars Sat
urday night. The dogs ran the trail
for some distance, but finally lost it.
The McGarrah store was burglarized
and the safe cut open by the cracks
men. About 500 in cash was stolen
from the McGarrah safe. Another
store at Lacrosse, three or four miles
away, was also entered and the safe
blown open.
This gang of craftsmen are un-
doubtedly the same who burglarized
the store of Mr.. Wardlaw Num-, at
Huntington, the night before. In
the Num- store the thieves made a
mistake, and spent their energies
cutting into an old safe which Mr..
Num- has not used in years.
Only a short while ago the safe of
Easterlin Bros. of Andersonville was
dynamited and a sum of money
stolen, together with a fine shotgun
from the store. The same gang prob
ably did the work at Andersonville.

TO FIGHT LIQUOR IN GEORGIA
LAYING PLANS FOR POWERFUL
CAMPAIGN IN THE STATE.
Both ''Drys'' and "Wets'' Are Get
ting Out Legislative Candidates
Wherever They Can.

Both "Drys" and "Wets" Are Get
ting Out Legislative Candidates
Wherever They Can.
ATLANTA, Ga.-That the liquor
forces of Georgia have already COM
menced to lay plans for a powerful
campaign in 1911 to get the prohi-
bition law erased from the statute
books is the firm belief of the lead
ers of the Georgia Anti-Saloon
League.
"They will not tackle the legisla-
ture this summer said J. B. Rich
ards, secretary of the league, ''be-
cause at the last session the legisla-
ture went on record as favoring the
prohibition law. But when the time
comes for candidates to enter the
field next year the liquor men are
going to put as many men in the
race as they can, and when the gen.
eral assembly meets in 1911 they are
going to concentrate all their in
fluence on both houses in an effort
to get the law repealed. Meanwhile
the Anti-Saloon League is merely
waiting-as we will not make a move
until they do"
At the state convention of the
Florida Anti-Saloon League, which
meets at Jacksonville next week, Mr..
Richards will make a complete and
thorough report on the prohibition
law in Georgia, covering every phase
of it's effect. He is now right busy
compiling and getting in shape a
desk full of data obtained by cor
respondence with state, county and
municipal authorities in every sec
ton of the state.
His figures show, he claims, that
drinking and crimes directly caused
by drunkenness have been reduced
so per cent. in Georgia by prohibit
ton, and that pauperism has been
decreased substantially. The law is
as we'll enforced, he declares, as any
other prohibitive law touching on
moral questions. He believes it is
better enforced than the law against
concealed weapons. The law is on
the statute books for good, and he
predicts that any effort to have it re-
pealed or modified will fail

REGISTER RESERVES
 DECISION IN CASE

The hearing of the application of the Providence Oil and Gas company for the appointment of trustee to receive con cluded yesterday before J. w. Altman. register in chancery. Exhaustive argu- ments and numerous disagreements by lawyers representing both the company and stockholders opposing the appoint ment of a trustee were the features of the hearing, which continued through Monday and yesterday.
 Register Altman will not announce his decision until he has satisfied himself as to several points of law involved.
 The application for the appointment of a trustee to receive contested stock fol- lowed the refusal of Turner R. Weakley, former trustee, to receive the stock as trustee. The stock in question comprises over 100000 shares in the Providence oil and Gas company, which was surrendered to Weakley as trustee in order to finance the enterprises of the company. J. V. Allen entered suit in chancery for the recovery of his shares of the stock, but an injunction restraining the company from dsposng of 1t was denied him by Chancellor Benners. Allen and the others who surrendered their stock are now in hopes that if the register In chancery re- fuses to appoint a trustee 1t will be es- sentially the same as the granting of an injunction restraining the company from disposing of the stock.

That there must be a "settln' of this agitation and discussion of whether a nominee of the party shall support the platform is now becoming evident. For a time it was thought that matters could slide, but every day a crisis Is approach ing and 1t is believed that 1t will break when the state executive committee gets together on August 31 at Montgomery.
 It Is unheard of in the history of Ala bama politics that a man should run on a platform which he did not indorse. It is true, as has been stated, that local op- tion was defined at Blount Springs, but it was defined as democratic principle established by Jefferson and stated that no democrat could refuse to indorse local self-government. Both Emmet O'Neal and Congressman Underwood enunciated this principle, and there was no other definition of the law. Alabama will get

NEGRO DISORDERS
 KEEP OFFICERS BUSY

A wave of negro disorders swept Bir- mfngham last night. Calls for officers on this account were received from nearly every portion of the city. It Is believed that two of the affrays will result fatally as two negroes are seriously wounded. They were taken to hospitals and their wounds dressed.
 w. D. Alexander drew a fork on his wife, Carrie. and she grabbed a knife and almost severed his arm from his body. One of the arteries was cut and the negro almost bied to death before aid could reach him. The woman was arrested.
 Besides two serious affairs there were a number of minor fights and shoot1ngs last night that kept Officer McAlister, who answers emergency calls, very busy. The affairs last night were in quarters that are not usually disdisorderly
 The officers believe thta they have a band of chicken thieves In four negroes lodged in the city jail yesterday charged with grand larceny of chickens. There have been a number of thefts of chickens have been recently, and 1t is believed that these negroes were concerned in some of them.

BETTER CHAIRS
 FOR THE JURORS


 It is rumored about the courthouse that a request will be made of the Board of Revenue that more comfortable chairs be provided for the jury boxes Of the various courts. The Board of Revenue is not now in session, but 1t is said that Judge A. O. Lane of the circuit court IS interested and will use his influence at the next session.
 While merely technical matter, so to speak, chairs are generally regarded by jurors as of vital importance, especially in lengthy cases where feather beds would be none too comfortable. The Board Of Revenue will not be asked to provide Mor- ris chairs for jurors suffering with en- nui but a change to more comfortable chairs from the furniture now In use IS considered only becoming to the majesty of the law.

Real Estate Dealers Will Probably Be Called Upon to Testify to the Values of the l.. q N. Prop
 critics Here

At the resumption of the rate hearing In the Louisville and Nashville case this morning at the office of Sydney J. Bowie, in the First National Bank building. 1t Is probable that several local real estate men will be placed on the stand.
 Special Master Gunter and the attor- neys interested agreed among themselves yesterday to resume the hearing today, which Is one day later than originally intended. The real estate mems appear ance Is not positive yet. but Mir. Bowie stated that he was of the opinion that they would be called today.
 General Manager B. M. Starks of the Louisville and Nashville will arrive this morning from Louisville to take the stand. It cannot be stated definitely when the general manager will testify as that will depend upon the time consumed in exam ming the real estate experts. Vice Pres ident Evans of the Louisville and Nash vile will not take the stand until after September 15, according to an announce ment made last night. At that time he will be examined In regard to the oper- ations of the company.
 It Is understood that the real estate  men when they take the stand will testify in regard to the local values of the Louis vile and Nashville properties. The ques- ton of land values and the application of earnings to that valuation consti- tute one of the important points in the litigation.
 The rate hearing which convenes here today has been in progress for several months in Louisville The Louisville and Nashville and the Central of Georgia have contested the legality of the rates adopted by the Alabama legislature. The companies secured an injunction which was later dissolved by Judge Thomas G. Jones. The taking of evidence by Spe- cial Master Gunter is to decide whether the injunction should reissue through Judge Jones of the United States court.
