Looking After the Eggs.

Lady Betty, who is 4 years old and
never misses trick, was taken the
other evening to a restaurant for her
supper, and with all the Importance
and sprightly dignity of her years
calmly ordered poached eggs on toast.
While the little family group was
awaiting its service the Riddle"
amused herself by looking out of the
window, pressing against a screen to
get closer view of something below.
She was warned by her mother that
the screen might give way and let her
fall to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring
her terribly. She drew away, thought
la minute, and then said naively:
would I fall If the screen went out?"
|"You certainly would" was her moth
|er's reply. And would l get awful
|hurted?" very likely" "Then what
would the man do with the eggs?"

KNIGHTS FRIENDS
 ARE CONFIDENT
THINK HE WILL COME OUT OF IN- vEsTIGATION OF DECATUR cor TON FIRM FAILURE WITH CLEAN RECORD

Decatur. June 2.-(Special)-Close per- sonal and business friends of John W. Knight in Decatur today say that MT. Knight will come out of the investigation of the $600O,000 cotton failure of Knight, Yancey & Co. with a clear rec, ord, ana with the same clean business and personal character that he has always had during the many years that he has been engaged in business in Decatur. His friends here say that this Is his record now and always has been, and that after all the investigations of the failure are over the public will be thoroughly satis- fled as to these statements.
 Mr. Knights friends say he has never been guilty of wrong act, either crim- finally or morally. and that this will be proven at the proper time. Those men of affai.s In Decatur who know John Knight best, and who stand closest to him, say that in some instances he may have shown bad business judgment, but that this is all that any one can say and prove against his business record and des linss in Decatur.
 Mr. Knights friends here say that he mas never tIltu u COiiScoi HihioSih ioi the purpose of evading summons to ap- pear before the meeting of creditors now being held at Birmingham. The facts in the matter are these: MT Knight was away from home for few days fishing when Deputy Marshal Henry c. Arnold came t) Decatur several days ago. The deputy left the subpoena at MT. Knights home. This was not service on MT. Knight, and besides-it is said the sub poena left there was Illegally filled out. Hence Mir. Knight paid no attention to 1t. When he returned home from his fishing trip another deputy came here and sum- ,moned him to be in Birmingham yester day, anC MT Knight was there to answer to his name. Never since the failure has John Knight tried to conceal himself or to avo.d officers or newspaper men, Aside from few fishing trips for a day or two at a time Knight has been in De- catur every day since the failure. The most ot his tir.V since the failure he has spent during the day on the streets. talk ing to his friends, and at times riding in an automobile or short trip on the Ten nessee river fn gasoline launch. His nights he spends at home with his wife and children, for he is man who Is at tached to his home. His family resides in Decatur.

REPUBLICANS MAY
 NOMINATE GOODHUE

Decatur, June 2,-(Special)-The polit- ical prcgnostieators in republican circles in this end of the state are now prophecy ing that the republican party of Alabama will become, for the time being at least, the prohibition party of the state. These prognosticators say that the republicans at tLoIr state convention to be held in Birmingham in July, will very likely adopt prohibition plank, and that they will likely nominate Amos Goodhue of Gadsden for governor of the state on a prohibition platform.

He led the fight in northeastern Alabama for the ill-fated prohibition amendment that was defeated by large vote of the people.
