DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART
Officer of Law Sometimes Finds His
Task Very Trying

1t very often happens that an officer
of the law is compelled to arrest a per-
son that he would much prefer to leave
alone. In many of these instances there
Is a. chance for the officer to display the
sympathetic side of his nature and to
accomplish his mission in the least en-
barrassing manner to the arrested per-
son.
There is a man of small stature in Biz
mingham who has attracted the sym
patty of the people not only because of
his diminutiveness, but because he Is
also cripple. Officers soon made dis
covery, and as a result a warrant was
that he had violated the prohibition law.
This warrant was turned over to Dep
uty Sheriff Ed II. Wilson to serve but
when the officer discovered who the man
was and the infirmites with which he
was inflicted somehow he couldn't get
up the heart to arrest him. Accordingly
he approached the little fellow and beck
oned him to come over to him, which the
small man did. Wilson then quietly
slipped a blank bond into his hand with
a whispered injunction to get it filled
out and send to the sheriff's office. The
little man followed out the instructions
and Is still at liberty under a $500 bond
His case will be considered by the grand
jury. II didn't have the heart to arrest
him. said Deputy Wilson in speaking o.
the matter.

COTTON BUYERS WILL
SEND MEN TO EUROPE

Atlanta, June 3.-Representing the
Southeastern Cotton Buyers associa-
tion A. P. Cotes and c. B. Howard of
Atlanta will this month go, 1t Is said
here, to London for the purpose of
laying before the European bankers a
plan whereby American banks are to
certify to the genuineness of interior
bills of lading on cotton, thus preclud-
ing frauds being perpetrated on Eu-
ropean cotton buyers by means of
forged bills of lading.
The plan adopted at a meeting of the
Southeastern Cotton Buyers associa-
ton today provides briefly for the certi-
fication by banks to the genuineness
of bills of lading issued against cotton
shipped from towns in which they are
located. 1t Is thought the plan will
prove acceptable to the European
dealers.
The action resulted from the recent
revelations regarding the operations
of the bankrupt cotton firms of Knight,
Yancey & Co. and Steele, Miller & Co.

MAY SOON BE PASSED

Washington, June 3.-For the first
time since the present session of Con-
gress began the regular republican
leaders of the House are confident they
will be able to put an important piece
of legislation through the House with
out amendment. They announced today
that they were assured of sufficient
votes on the majority side to bring
about a special rule for the passage
of the postal savings bank bill prac-
tically in the same form that it came
from the republican committee.
Democrats and number of insur-
gent republicans will oppose the rule
maintaining that the cutting off of
amendments in the House is tantamoilnr
to legislating in secret caucus to which
practice they are unalterably opposed.

BLIND TIGER ARRESTS
This Constitutes Chief source of Activ-
lty at SheriR's ONCE

Blind tiger operators are faring badly
at the hands of the deputy sherffs these
days. During the past few days there
have been a number of arrests for these
offenses, the defendants in practically all
of the cases making bond.
Last night witnessed number of ar
rests, among them being a few women.
Outside of blind tiger arrests, however
the criminal business of the sheriffs de-
partment is dwindling down. A lethargy
seems to exist among those persons who
for some reason can't help committing
some crime which would place them
within the meshes of the law net

the prevalence Of sectional prejudice
is on the decline. with but a few more
years to live, and that the day will
come when the state of Mississippi Will
offer a statue of the president of the
Confederaey to the national govern
ment for a niche in the Hall of Fame
and that the offer will be accepted Is
the opinion of DR. w. f. Marlborough, a
native of Mississippi but now pastor
of Parker Memorial Baptist church in
this city, as voiced in an address be-
fore the Daughters of the Confeder-
aey and the assembled veterans on
the occasion of the celebration Of the
natal day anniversary of Jefferson
Davis here today
In substantial ton of this belief Dr.
Marlborough cited the words of Gov
ernor Marshall of Indiana in his adj
dress before the students of the Ala
bama university recently to the eff
feet that in the final analysis the ac-
lions of men must be judged in a light
of the motives by which they We're
actuated. He further undertook to vim
dictate the national patriotism of the
sons of the Confederaey by citing the
gallant services of Jefferson Davis to
his country before the period of sec
tional strife, by a reference to the fact
that in the war with Spain Wheeler
fought side by side with Shafter and
others, bringing one example after an
other to the attention of his audience
to prove that the day of provincialism
and sectional feeling is at an end
Mrs. o. NJ. Reynolds, president of
the local chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy. presided al the meet
ing and was most gracious in her
remarks. She was assisted by Mrs
Henry D. McCarty and Mrs. A. Sterne,
Mrs. McCarty making very happy

ried by the children. Others who took
part in the service were Miss Hannah
