Grant Harris is doing a little special
paper hanging for the mill foreman this
week.
Barnes has resumed his official work
with increased vigor since the comet
dangers are past.
The comet must have struck the North
Pole, as we folks over here are suffer-
ing from frost bite.
John Chambers observed the comet
the other night, and reports it had 80
rattles and a button.
Anyone wishing to engage in Angora
husbandry would do we'll to locate here,
as the rolling land is ideal.
Oscar Young received a very painful
injury to his foot the other day, caused
by an accidental blow from an axe.
Jack White, after anticipating the
destruction of the world by blow from
the comets tail, has now commenced to
plant his newground in corn.
John West is doing repair work on
several cottages here, and if it doesn't
stop raining The occupants are sure to
drown before he gets through.
Walker is about the only man in
Whitewood who didn't fear blow from
that celestial wanderer, the comet. He
is still buying and selling goods in the
same old way.
Pink Dockery was out with his hounds
a few nights ago hunting and treed an
owl; but Pink swore it was the comet,
for he heard it say: 81 am dreaming

We all enjoyed little musical festi-

sors Harris and johnson furnished the
instrumental music while Chap Giles
pie and Dave Hagy assisted with the

s. B. Fulton has been absent from
Whitewood great deal recently and,
consequently, is greatly behind with his
social correspondence. If he doesn't
employ stenographer we fear he's 60
ing to lose out with the fairer sex.

JUDGE COLEMAN
 ON KNOX'S CARD
Eutaw Man Thinks Attack on Bank head "UnprOvoIkcd, Cruel and
 Unjustihable"

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Many friends of the Hon. John B. Knox have read in today's Age-Iierald with painful astonishment his unprovoked. cruel and unjustifable assault upon Sem ator Banl1head. Though too modest to array before the public his own accom- plishments, no man in Alabama has been more loyal to the democratic party than he, and no one did more to preserve tho efficiency of it's organization during the period when 21 years of age was the only qualification required of voter whatever may have been his race, color or previous condition We who live over here had some personal experience of this assertion.
 The people of west Alabama, where the senator's life has been spent, appre- ciate his faithful services in Congress, and which have not been excelled in beneficial results by those of any repre- sentative of the state. We place a much higher estimate upon the services of the man "who does thingsp than upon the man of rhetorical or chromo displays.

MILITARY SHOW
 CLOSES TONIGHT
Handsome Field Glasses Will Be Pre-. scented to Most Popular Officer
 at Ball Tonight

Tonight will close the military indoor industrial exposition which has been un- der way at the city hall for the past week. The programme will be carried out in full, with the added feature of a masquerade ball, and Manager German will be allowed to take part, and the maskers will be required to raise their masks during the evening. A good timo is in store for those who attend.
 The exposition will be brought to a close by the presentation of a beauti- full pair of field glasses to the most pop ular officer in the Birmingham battalion. This race has created & great deal of in- terest among military men in the city, as Capt Charles H. Mandy of Troop D, and Lieutenant E. L. Anderson of Battery B, have a host of friends who are putting forth their best efforts in behalf of the officers of their choice. Sam Ach, who has had the various contests of the ex- position in charge, stated that today, the officer having the largest number of votes to his credit at the count which will be taken at noon, will receive 400 votes additional This will prove quite an in- centive to the workers for the two can didates and quite large number of votes are look for in this contest. The vote stood today at noon as follows: Capt, c. H. Mandy, 2092, and Lieutenant An derson, 1532 As there are several other officers in the race it is said a dark horse might yet win over the two gentle men mentioned above.

SOL CAHEEN MAY
 BUY AEROPLANE

It is interesting to note in connection with the coming visit of the great aviator. Paulhan, to Birmingham that Sol caheen sto purchase a heavier-than-air flying machine. The probable buying of a ma chine was conceived by MT. Caheen long before MT. Paulhan expressed desire to come to Birmingham, and his intimate friends have known for some time that he was preparing himself to fit among the clouds.
 Arrangements for the purchase of q machine have been about completed, a Curtis aercplane being MT. Caheens se- lection. For some time he has been study ing atmospheric conditions, the lateral winds, tho winds that blow by day and by night, the wild wintry winds and the gentle zepiiyrs that play in the spring.
 Flying machines have been a hobby with MT. Caheen for years, and in mo- ments of eonfdence he will admit that he longed to fly even before he learned to walk. He has applied himself diligently to the study of lateral winds and the conditions 10 be met with in flying through the air, his studies being the experiences of the greatest aviators. Dur ing the month of May he will visit the Curtis plant at Hammondsport, N. T., where he will put in two weeks learning how to handle the machine and to further develop his learning regarding the winds.
 The arrival of the machine in Birming- ham will undoubtedly create a sensation, aad MT. Caheen's flights be witnessed by thousands. He intends. however, to be absolutely sure of the machine and him. self before leaving terra firma for the clouds

MANY AWAITING
 SENTENCES TODAY
JOE W1NN IS AMONG THOSE CON- VICTED OF FORCING BoND-NE- GRO HAS HAD MANY EsCAPADEs IN PAST AS SPOTTER

This morning will find a great number of convicted prisoners awaiting sentence in the two divisions of the criminal court before Judge Fort and Judge Weaver. Practically all of the convictions are for misdemeanor offenses and most of the prisoners are negroes
 Among those convicted yesterday was Joe Winn, negro, who was tried on a charge of forgery. The offense with which he was charged was for the forg- ing of bond. both the signatures and o. K. having been forged. The penalty for such an offense is from two to ten years.
 Joe Winn was employed around The sAeriff's office as hostler and was also used as q spotter on negro craps games and for catching negro violators of the prohibition law. He was negro of un- usual nerve, which probably accounted for his forging bond. He was shot during a raid Oh q blind tiger at North Birmingham and had his intestines per- forated 21 times. Several feet of his irtestines were removed and although the doctor stated upon his arrival at the hospital that he could hardly live for more than an hour the negro was as healthy as ever in a few weeks. A white man. the doctors state, could not have lived until he reached the hospital with such wounds.
 There is also a charge of murder against Winn, this being in connection with the killing of a negro on Red mountain. The killing occurred while some deputies were arrestng some rowdy negroes who were gambling in the middle of the road and making if danger0ua for parsonz 4oaSainV Deputy Sheriff Ed Wilson. it was said at the time, had killed the negro while the latter was resisting arrest, and he was exonerated by the coroner. The charge against Winn was brought by relatives of the dead negro.

Are we going to this vast expense in order to afford facilities for the English and Germans to reach the vest coast Of South America? Or Is it to enable the Japs to get into the At lartic and make 1t a Japanese ocean, as they have converted the Pacific into 8 Japanese lake?
 No. let us pass the ocean mail bill and SO secure a merchant fleet of our own to carry our commerce through the Pana- ma canal.
