GADSDEN POLICE
 KILL WRONG NEGRO
Pardon Sought for Gus Flood-Reports Say New Railway Is Abandoned.
 Highwaymen Rob Farmer

Gadsden, December 16-(Special )-While Special Police Officers Collier and Alsup at the steel plant last night were in pur- suit of criminal, a negro named George Walker got in the way and was shot and Killed. The negro was identified today as one who came here recently from Alexan- dria. He is said to be a son of the Rev. Walker of that city. The exact details of the killing have not yet been se cured as the officers refuse to talk fur ther than to say that they killed the man while in the discharge of their duties, but at the same time admit that the dead man is not the one they were after.
 The parents of Gus Flood, convicted two years ago for the killing of man named Phillips, who live at Attalla, have gone to Montgomery to appear before the board of pardons in an effort to have their Eon released. Flood was only about l7 years old when he committed the crime, and was also in a drunken condition at time of the killing, and all those connect ed with his prosecution and conviction have signed the petition for his pardon.
 Workmen are engaged in tearing down the walls Ol the old JOnnSon mousse, Wnlcn was recently destroyed by fire, and when the site is cleared of the debris the work of rebuilding will begin. The Johnson estate has announced that it will put up a two-story structure to cover the entire site of 100 feet on Broad street.
 It is understood here today that the management of the Chattanooga South ern railway has taken it's engineers out of the field and that the proposed build ing of the line from this city to Bir- mingham has been abandoned. The reas- on for this action on the part of the rail- road is alleged to be the fact that $25,000 to $50, GOO was demanded for right of way through the city, while the company was willing to pay not more than $15,000. While the railroad may change it's plans, no one here believes that it would do so be- cause of a difference of a few thousand

UNIQUE FEATURE
 IN MURDER CASE

Anniston. December 1s.-(Special.)-A the Anniston city court this morning when a jury returned a verdict for a defendant recommending two years as the sentence, when the defendant had al- ready agreed with his attorneys to accept sentence of four years for alleged con- plicity In murder.
 This was in the case of Cicero Humph- rles, charged with the murder of L.. l.. Humphries, his brother, for which R. R. Humphries, another brother, was found guilty Thursday. The decision between Solicitor Tunstall and Tste & Walker, attorneys for Humphries, brought the case to sudden termination. Judge Coleman charged the jury that it de- volved upon them to recommend punish ment for the defendant or release him as they thought he deserved under the evidence, despite the fact that he had agreed to serve four years. The jury then retired and returned the verdict for two years, after which they went to the office of the defendants attorneys and signed a petition to the governor for his pardon.
 The testimony of the aged mother was one of the features of the trial, she having taken sides with her living sons in the effort to acquit them of blame for the death of the son deceased George Ingram, the young farm hand who was also to be tried this wek, will not be tried until the next term of court

Xmas Gifts for the Boys

ningham Is Judge Zell Gaston. Young Gaston had little to begin with save good brain and willingness to work. In his youth he saved up enough money to enter Auburn, and after the first term this sum was exhausted. Chancellor John A. Foster of Clayton was at that time trustee of the University of Alabama, and he offered to lend Gaston enough money to complete his education If he would transfer his affection to the uni versity. This Gaston was wise enough to do, and he eventually was graduated He taught school until he repaid Chancellor Foster and then began the practice of the law. He was successful and moved to Birmingham from Greenville. Judge Gas ton owns property on the Cowikees of this county, and states that he hopes some day to buy more and return to the home of his youth. As Is known, Judge Gaston has a fondness for shooting cartridges, and on the Cowikees cartridges abound. Tkis may be the reason for his desire for the scenes of his childhood
 Four Contemporaneous Congressmen
 Henry D. Clayton, present congress- man, Is a native of this city, and is son of General Clayton. Barbour county con siders Henry Clayton big man, and he s. His long service in Congress will be continued indefinitely, 1t is believed, and his sinecure Is as positive as that of Oscar ChalrTlan or the last ndl1OIldl utIlOCidllt chairman of the last national democartic convention, as is known, and this city proudly recounts that as one of the great esr political achievements on which 1t has a valid claim.
 In this connection, Clayton, a city of about 1000 people, has a distinction which probably cannot be approached through out the United States. At one time, four cf it's sons were in Congress-four boys born within it's limits and reared to- getler, were making the laws for the na- tion One of these was Henry b. Clay ton, representing the Third district. Ari- osto A Wiley was representing the Sec ond. Betram Clayton, brother of Henry D. Clayton, was representing a district of New York, and Florida district was represented by Frank Clark, who played marbles here some 40 years ago.
 Feagin and King
 Judge Noah B. Feagin is native of Barbour, although he divides his affec- ton between this and Bullock counties. Judge Feagin moved from Union springs to Anniston, became mayor Of that city. ana then went to Birmingham. where he has landed a job for life-apparently. John C. Pugh, well known citizen of Blr- rringham, son of late Senator Pugh, is of Eufaula- Carl Seals is Barbour county product, as is William w. Clayton.
 George Papst, who recently attained wealth in Birmingham realty. is native of Clayton. His father constructed the Eufaula and Clayton branch of the Gen. tral of Georgia. railroad.
 1T c King, the we'll known merchant, and his brother, John, are former resi- dents of Clayton, and of Birmingham's 8 younger population there are at least 6D abie-bodied and cear-headed men who ere drawing average salaries and making good in the various walks of life. These y,ill rise to the top of the ladder per chance, if pluck continues to count Tor something.

newspaper man, ana SOon idu Plieu up an abundance of coin. He was elected 10 the state senate, and the story of his becoming governor is well known. It is a significant fact that while one Barbour county governor, Conner. will leave the treasury depleted, one other, Jelks, left
 it so full of money that foreign nations came to borrow.
 Pearson and Lane
 The late Col. Robert H. Pearson was formerly a citizen of Clayton, and his mother is inferred in the little cemetery of this place. Colonel Pearson, after practicing law in Barbour a long num- Der of years, went to Birmingham, and his touch became Mdas-like.
 Judge A. o. Lane studied law in Bar bour, and taught little school in Clay ton. It Is said that he administered pun ishment to the young men of this place with the same unswervlng justice which he applies at the present time to the un- fortunateS who come before his bench. A sister of Judge Lane became the wlfa of Dick Williams of this city, who aft erward moved to Birmingham, and died a number of years ago under the knife of surgeon in New York. MT. Williams was given credit for being one of the most daring soldiers who ever wore the gray, and the stories told of his irrepres- sible spirit and incomparable yalor would | fill @ volume. There are children of Dick | Williams in Birmingham at the present time. He was a brother of Maj Jere N Williams, a former congressman, who is now living in Clayton and an uncle of J. s. Williams, one of Barbour's represen- tatives in the legislature which will soon convene
