What was perhaps the most repulsive
and nauseating case that has ever been
taken to a Birmingham hospital devel-
oped yesterday when a negro named M.
Nashville train and was taken to st. Vim
cents hospital in Gaudn's ambulance.
The negro's body was covered with burns
that were over a week old and his flesh
was alive with myriads of crawling white
vermin.
The negro came from Searles, little
mining camp near Tuscaloosa The best
information that could be secured last
night was to the effect. that he had been
attacked over a week ago by crowd of
negroes. who attempted to burn him alive.
Crude oil was poured all over his body
and then set FIRE. The burns Cunningham
received were severe and 1t is considered
remarkable that he did not die In a few
hours after the burning Where he has
stayed since the burning could not be
learned, but he has had absolutely no at
tention.
He was discovered yesterday in his ter
rible condition and placed aboard the
train that brought him to Birmingham.
The disagreeable operation was gone
through by the physicians at st. Vim
cents and his wounds were dressed 1t
was stated that in many places his flesh
was in an advanced stage of decomposi-

He was resting very we'll after the opera

vened at Tuscaloosa yesterday at noon.

evidence against John, William and
Marion Gurganus and John Morgan.

ham Monday afternoon for the purpose
of facing trial in Tuscaloosa county
They are said to have waylaid and
killed Arnett w. Anderson, late # the
government revenue service.
Their alleged crime was supposed to
have been committed in Walker county.
They were tried, indicted and were
about to face trial in this city when
the fact developed that the crime was
committed In Tuscaloosa county. Hence
the transfer of the case.
Judge Grub was in Springville yes
terday when his automobile was
broken. He was forced to remain in
that city all night and on account of
it being imperative that he reach
Tuscaloosa yesterday the Alabama
Great Southern stopped limited train

were found to be affected with tuber-

The department is making every effort
to entirely free all dairy herds from

people from the Slavic races, such as
the Poles and Hungarians, Bohemians and
misunderstanding the people from
Sicily and southern Italy, and possibly
some others, we will be helping the farm
ers by not drawing their labor supply
away from them, helping the development
of industrial activities, and thus increas-
ing the prosperity of every branch of In
dustry in the south. Moreover the in
coming of hardworlSing foreigners OF this
kind would beenfit the negroes, who now
feel that the south is dependent upon
them for its labor supply. This, too,
makes them more independent and less
efficient In their work because they al
ways feel that If they leave one job they
can get another without trouble.
"If the negroes found that the south
was not dependent on them and that
there were enough foreigners to do a
large part Of the rough work they would
realize that they were necessarily COM
PEELED to be more faithful in their work,
or else starve. Competition OF this kind
in the labor supply would be of the
greatest possible benefit to the whole
negro race, and in this way of immense
benefit to the SOUTH So long as the
negro feels that the south has no other
source of labor supply, do not believe
1t Is possible for the race to make any
material advance, as a whole. A small
proportion will continue, even without this
kind of competition, to grow in efficiency
and in every way advance, but speaking
broadly the great mass of negroes as
they now work are handicap on the
small percentage of honest, faithful and
efficient negroes. and a tremendous han
dicap on the progress of the south.
II believe the most effective way of
overcoming these conditions will be by de-
veloping competition through the hard
working efficient foreigners who are will
ling to work steadily day in and day out,
and are happy in the opportunity In the
employment which this country affords.

Bailey ON TriaI-The case OF William
NJ Bailey was taken up yesterday In
the criminal court before Judge
Weaver. Court did not convene until
Z O'Clock on account of the funeral or
Judge A. A. Coleman, and but little
progress was made in this case A
great deal of trouble was experienced
in selecting a jury and all witnesses
were excused until this morning. Over
$50 witnesses are said to have been
summoned by the defense. The charge
against Bailey is an extremely serious
one. He was tried once, convicted and
given a sentence of 20 years. He was
granted a new trial, however, when the
Jury law under which the trial was
held was declared null and void.
