.UPSHAW DELIVERS
 ADDRESS IN EASLEY
Large Crowd Pleased With
 Interesting Talk
SCOTT ON GOOD ROADS
day Afternoen---PcrsonaI and Gen. ernl News of Interest in
 the Steel City

The Rev. U. D. Upshaw. known as the Georgia Cyclone on Crutches, addressed a large audience at the Franklin theatre, Ensley, yesterday afternoon
 The meeting was held under the aus piees of the Baraca class of the Meth odist church, and was for men only. HI c. Russell presided and introduced the speaker.
 MT. Upshaw made most interesting address, which was much appreciated by the large crowd present He spoke of the trinity of mems lives, which he classi- fled as Purpose, Purity and Religion The first he designated as the crown ing motive of character, and said that to have a purpose in life meant prog ress to the individual and the betterment of the human race. He presented many quaint and forceful truths under the second head, and insisted the same rules for purity should exist equally in men and women, and that man should not be allowed to be judged by one rule and woman by another. His last theme was religion, which he stated was the great est movement of modern times and that the gospel of Christ was spreading over the world.
 He quoted many distinguished and learned statesmen. including Gladstone and Bryan, who were on record as being possessed of a true religious spirit, and who by their lives and works helped to spread the cause to their erring brothers. At the conclusion of his remarkable ad- dress he made an appeal to those pres- ent to lead a holy life. His appeal met with a response from a number of men.
 The meeting was a great success, ma terially and spiritually, and the promoters are much encouraged at the success at tained.

Twins Puzzled Sheriff.

Sheriff Mcdonald was up against
the task of choosing between twin
brothers who looked exactly alike,
in making an arrest at Kansas
City last Thursday. One of them,
Alonxo Fitzwater, was an innocent
man; the other, Eugene, was
wanted for the attempted murder
of James Young at Carthage three
years ago. Each man claimed to
be Alonzo and declared the other
was Eugene. The officer finally
settled the matter by calling a sis
ter who Strengthened out the tan
gle.
Nothing had been heard of Eu-
gene Fitzwater, who jumped bail
while awaiting trial in Carthage in
1907, until his twin brother wrote
and notified the sheriff that he was
living at Kansas City. The sher-
iff had no trouble in locating his
man, but unfortunately there were
two of him, and the only assurance
he has even now that he got the
right one is the word of the sister.
However she was the loser by his
skipping his bail and it is thought
she would hardly steer the officer
wrong in the matter.
Fitzwater will probably be tried
in October at Joplin.
