 At a sign from the little Greek the negro ambled to the front. Returning to the table he laid a small bill on the table.

Wales has long been known as the land of tradition and song.
 It is unlike the other parts of the United Kingdom in that its traditions and folklore are preserved in the lays of it's native minstrels and in its native tongue. Hence, the glorious traditions and patriotic songs of the Ancient Brit ons" are not as widely known as those of other English-speaking countries.
 The matchless poems of the patriotic Moore, the glorious songs of the great Burns, and the lays and songs or the much loved Tennyson are familiar to every English-speaking child. The songs and stories of Wales are as soui-stirring and as full of love of native land as are the others, but as rule are httie kho"h outside that rugged land.
 The Welch as a nation love to sing. They love their native songs, and knoW how to sing them. Every little hamlet in Wales has it's singing society and much proficiency is displayed when they meet, as they often do, at some gwen point, where prizes are contested TOT py their choruses. The welchman who set tIes in this land of the free brings with them the love of song and should halr a dozen get together singing society is formed herewith.
 These preliminary remarks bring me to my story, which, as may De suIinlsou' concerns welchmen and song.
 A few weeks ago three well known Welchmen, Stephen Allsopp. J. K. Thomas and Tom Gaines, went to Montgomery. Professor Allsopp is the director of the Jefrerson Male Chorus of Ensley. and a musician of wide note. He had the dis- tinction several years ago of appearing before the late King Edward as dlrectoi of A chorus composed of leading mem hers of the various Welch singing socie- ties. He is the proud possessor or silver baton the present or the late King, as a token of his appreciation u ol the great chorus and thelr capapie leader. .
 Sir Jack X. Thomas is postmaster or the Ensley-Pratt office, a position ne fills with credit to himself and to the general satisfaction of the public. He is genial and good natured and can sing a song or lead choir to queens taste. Of aldermanic proportions. and always ; jolly, he is sometimes dubped the r Eae : Meyor of Coketon." The Hon. Thomas Games does not pretend to be much or a musician. but as musical critic he IS all to the candy. He does not hesitate to express his opinions. If a selection urass or the voices don't harmonize, ne tehs them plainly and bluntly it is rotten, and from his verdict, once ahnounceo' there is no appeal. He is of sturdy build, red headed and pugnacious, and every inch a man.
 The mission of these three gentlemen was in connection with grand org, torio' to be given at one of the principai churches.

 Short speeches were made by Assistant Postmaster J. T. Blakemore, J. B. Babb of the Chamber of Commerce and others. The meeting was well attended and the civil service employees state that all fea- lures of the meeting were pleasing to them.
 It is the intention and wish of the civil service employees to secure the indorse- ment of the congressional delegation from this state of the bill providing the re- tirement payments. They wish also to se- cure opposition to the Gillette bill

SUICIDE THEORY
 LOOKS IMPROBABLE
Risener Has Three Bullet Holes
 Through Heart
CORONER IS SUSPICIOUS
Barbour Under Bond at Mineral Sprfngs-Both Claim Man
 Shot Himself

T doubt seriously whether w. A. Rise ner committed suicide at Mineral Springs Friday night" said Coroner Brasher last night. 'The tales told by his wife and Arthur Barbour, the man who stood by and let him shoot himself, do not coin eide in several points. To begin with, their tale is inconsistent. She first told me one thing and then told me an- other.
 "The most conclusive evidence to my mind that he was murdered is the fact that there are three bullets in his heart. The bullets entered the right breast and came out under the left shoulder blade, going entirely through the body and penetrating the heart The place where the bullets entered the body could be covered by a silver dollar. It seems to me almost impossible for a man to stand up and shoot himself like that and I do not believe he did it himself.
 T received a message this morning that he had committed suicide last night and went immediately to the scene. Mrs. Risener first said that the gun was where he had dropped it, then she said that she had picked it up and hid it under the bed, where I found it. Her story of the shooting and that of Barbour do not coincide. The suspicion points to- ward Barbour as the one that did the shooting and I placed him under a s500 bond"
 It was reported to the coroner yester- day morning that W. A. Risener had killed himself Friday night and Coro- ner Brasher immediately went to the scene. Upon investigation he declared that the circumstances of the shoot ing were suspicious and placed Arthur Barbour, the man who was with Risener when he did the shooting, under bond.
 Risener is said to have walked into his home Friday night apparently in his right mind. He chatted for few minutes with his wife and Barbour and then drew a revolver. IL is alleged that he fiourished the weapon and placed It against his breast pulling the trigger. It was stated that he fired only once, but there were three bullet wounds in his body.
 Rsener is survived by a widow and two children. He was employed in the mines at Mineral Springs. The body was brought to Birmingham yesterday and was taken in charge by Lige Loy, by whom 1t will be sent to Odenville for burial.
