HOLD-UPS FREQUENT IN TOWN YESTERDAY An Avondale Man Is Badly
 Beaten Up TOM GREEN ALSO ROBBED I've Boys Arrested at West sayre for Robbing and Beating an Aged
 Peddler mt Roadside Last
 Monday
 
TOM GREEN ALSO ROBBED

IT. Allison. who lives in the Avon dale mill quarters at Avondale, was held up by several negroes last night at the corner of Avenue B and Twenty third street. He was relieved of ss0 and a very valuable watch.
 When Allison resisted he was badly wounded by the highwaymen- One side of his head was gashed by a blow from a stick in the hands of one of the mon and his body was badly gashed with q knife He was very roughly used and his vigorous cries brought help and the men left him.
 He was carried to the Hillman hos pital where his wounds were dressed. He later expressed a wish to go home and was removed to his residence at Avondale. He is thought to be in a critical condition.
 Allison was so badly confused by his rough usage that he was unable to give any accurate information to the police. He could not say how many his assail- ants were nor whether they were ne- groes or white men.
 Tom Green reported to the police yes-
 
 up at Avenue D and .Twenty-second street by two negroes and relieved of some handkerchiefs and 8 watch. Green was assaulted when the negroes could find nothing on him but was able to be taken home after help arrived.
 Although Green had a considerable sum of money on him the highwaymen did not get any of it. He had taken his salary out of the envelope and hidden 1t in another pocket. The men took the envelope and left him the money.
 Deputy Sheriff Dave Kennybrook and Constable Lawler yesterday morning arrested Poss Glover and Louis Glover, two young white boys, on charges of highway robbery. It is charged that the two boys held up A. Abrams at West Sayre last Monday afternoon and relieved him of s165 and a pack of goods. Abrams is a peddler and the two boys sprang out from the side of the road with handkerchiefs over their faces as a disguise. They cut his clothes almost to pieces to get his money. which was sewed up in the lining of his coat. While one of the boys was searching him his handkerchief blew off and Abrams recognized him.
 One of the Glover boys was arrested a year ago on a charge of killing a | peddler but was later released. There is no doubt but what the Glover boys are the ones who held him up as they have been positively identified by Abrams and by two young girls and a deaf and dumb man who were at- tracted to the scene by Abrams cries.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Advantages of New Orleans Exposition To the Editor of The Age Herald:

Advantages of New Orleans Exposition To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 For some time have been intending to write you what now write. It is in regard to the proposed Panama exposi- tion and Its relation to the south. and more particularly it's relation to Birming- ham.
 What makes me write this time is that there appears in the current number of the Independent" an article by Ben janin Ide Wheeler. president of the Uni versity of California, setting forth the advantages of San Francisco as a site for tho exposition and gcorning New Orleans as a site. The article lays great stress by cartoons accompanying it, on the pres ent indebtedness of New Orleans to the government for the former exposition held in that city, which Wheeler character izes as "disastrous.' The amount of this indebtedness is s1,300,000.
 There Is one thing certain, that New Or leans will have a great task before her if she wants to be given preference over ean Francisco. I don't believe that New Orleans can, without the aid of the other
 
 southern cities, get this exposition. And I believe that if the exposition is held in New Orleans it will benefit the Magic City almost as much as it will New Or leans. Birmingham, if it would go to work and help New Orleans. could see to it that all railroads selling tickets would allow stop-overssen route. and the excellent impression which Birmingham ie bound to make would add to the grow ing repute of our city, and bring capital and population to 1t.
 It does not seem to me that New Or leans and the south are awake to their opportunities in this regard. San Fran cisco is working along the right line. Why, everyone who halls from the Pacific coast is pulling for San Francisco. Stu dents returning here in the fall from the west were wearing tags proclaimlng them to be '.boosters' of San Francisco. and that with many other modes of adver- Using is creating national interest in favor of that city. and if the south does not create counter sentiment in favor

New Orleans to Ozark, Ala, where he is now on visit to his mother.
 Desirous of filling out the hours as acceptably as possible. Professor Wilk- .nson, who has the chair of industrial and analytical chemistry at Tulane, paid visit to the department of archives and history, and there found an old pie ture of his father, who in 1872 was a member of Alabama's general assembly. Prior to the discovery Professor Will inson did not know that such picture existed hence he feels that his stay over in this city had its reward, after all.
 Interesting stories were told by Pro- lessor Wilkinson of his early teaching experiences In Barbour county of this state. He Is native of Barbour coun- ty and a graduate of the Alabama Poly technic institute at Auburn.

Parcels Post

f0fcel8 fOSt
 To tho Editor of The Ags-Herald;
 Shall we have a parcels post?
 This subject has been before Congress for some years, and we notice that Presi- dent Taft in his recent message has rec commended the inauguration of limited parcels post, which means that any ar ticles of merchandise not weighing more than Il pounds can be sent out from the end of the express lines at the postal charges, which shall be fixed for same and be delivered by the rural free deliv- cry carriers. This measure has been opposed very strenuously by the mer- chant trade generally--i e.. the jobbers and retailers of the country. If it should destroy the jobber and retailer and result in a new method of distribution which was beneficial to the nation at large, then 1t would be foolish and selfish to op- rose it. We should all be willing to ac- cept whatever is for the general good and best for all the people at large. even though it would work harm to some par ticulur class.
 We think, however, that this question is worth looking into. It occurs to me to bo very potent agent i'll carrying for ward the work of centralization and con- centrating the distribution of merchan- disc to the large cities at the expense of the smaller towns and villages. and the retail stores throughout the country. would this be desirable change? We think not. By reference to the recent census we note that the larger cities are growing very rapidly, and that there has been a decided movement from the rural districts to the cities, leaving many of the counties throughout the country with less population than they had 10 years ago, while the cities, some of them, have made marvellous gains and most of them very creditable showing for progress dur ing tho last 10 years.

He has made fairly comprehensive study Of conditions here and is optimistic regarding the future of the camp. George Nelson has been engaged as assayer for the mill and Fred Baxter is the en- gineer .
 The success Of the mill depends altogether on the quartz miner. The cost of treatment depends upon the amount of ore offered, and if suiiici- ent ore is offered to keep the mill busy day and night the working cost will be materially reduced. The capacity of the mill is from forty 10 fifty tons in twentyfour hours.
 After the mill had been formally opened and the stamps had COmmenC- ed the crushing of the ore. a ship ment from the Daisy mine on Eve creek, the visitors spent the remain. ing hours of daylight in an inspec- ton of the mill, and then adjourned to town At , o'clock more eXercis- es were held in A.

SEEING PHOEBE

Phoebe Dare sat erect on the shiny haircloth sofa with her great eyes fixed on the lowered carpet of the Dare parlor. Before her. cramped and uncomfortable, sat Jonathan Crane, grim smile on his homely face and his eyes intent on Phoebe.
 Say. Phoebe" he said at length, who's going to take you to the kingsleys dance?"
 Phoebe made no response. but merely raised her eyes proudly and with a lantalizing twinkle.
 "Of course you wouldn't go with me-" he asked He began with the of course" in view of the fact that Phoebe had just emphatically de clned his proffered hand and heart
 Phoebe made no reply and a long pause followed while Jonathan gazed with something like devotion al the girl before him.
 The reason why l wanted to take you,' he began al length, with a drawl, was because of that wager l made with Craig Taylor"
 What wager?" asked the girl. sud denly alert.
 "Oh, l guess it wouldn't interest you," said Jonathan rising. I'd better be going now"
 The girl, whose curiosity was thor oughly aroused, barred the way to the door. Tell me what wager you have with Craig" she demanded in the most pleading tones. Please tell me"
 "Oh, it wasn't much of wager" said Jonathan slowly. II guess shouldn't have said anything about It."
 But Phoebe persisted
 "Oh. we'll" said Jonathan, at last as if he had been moved by her en- IT aty. you see. l bet Craig that l could take you to that dance, and he bet that he could That was more or less the reason why I asked you to marry me, sos to sort of cinch the matter"

 Phoebe's cheeks were scarlet. and as she stood before him, holding the dCor. Jonathan could feel the anger that had risen within her

 Yes" said Jonathan deliberately, watching her closely.
 For another minute Phoebe still held the door closed. Then, as she opened it, she said with apparent tranquility:
 Say. Jonathan, if you want me to go 10 the Kingsleys' barn dance with you, I would just as soon."
 So on the evening of the annual barn dance at the Kingsley farm, Phoebe dressed in her most bewitch- ing frock, with black ribbon at her throat 10 set off the pinkest and fairest of cheeks, and rose in her hair to add to its dark luster. She was ready and waiting, wrapped well for the cold drive. when Jonathan came, and she stepped eagerly into the buggy beside him. "Oh, do hurry" she begged, as her little foot tattooed on the floor of the buggy in anticipation of the dancing she loved. "I can hardly wait, and yet you go so dreadfully slow"
 Jonathan felt the blood jingle within him as he realized that it was In his power to make her impatient the girl who kept him in mood
