 alarm. His mother. who resides in
 Huntsville, has been summoned again
 to his bedside. Colonel Lowe still occupies the home of Mrs. Sallie El- liott here, under whose skillful nurs- ing he was placed about a month ago. While cotton has been coming in at a rapid rate since the opening of the season, a comparative statement of the receipts at the compress here will show
 a falling off of 11.00O bales as com
 pared with the corresponding time last
 season. This, however, Is accounted
 for to some extent In the lateness of
 the crop, due to the prevalence of cold
 weather last spring. which, in a great
 many instances, required the plant ing over of very large acreage
 throughout this section.

Anniston, October 24.-(Special )-Ac- cording to court officials, Erwin Pope, the negro who is now confined in the Cal houn county jail under sentence to be hanged on the gallows for the murder of J. B. McClurkin, has the most re- markable nerve of any man who has ever been on the stand for murder in Annis- ton.
 Jailor Harmon says that as they came out of the court house the negro turned to him and inquired calmly concerning the weather. Don't you think it's a little bit colder, Captain Joe?" he asked and when the jailsr replied in the af- firmative Pope stated that his reason for asking the question was to ascertain whether or not he had been merely af- fected by the verdict. He stated that when he was In Jail at Birmingham he was told by fellow prisoner that as soon as he was condemned to die he be- came cold ice all over his body.
 Not once. however during the trial has Pope lost his composure. Attorney Sterne says that he continues to deny his guilt. but he says he is ready to die and has not the least fear of going on the gall lows. He continues the allegation that the first he knew of the McClurkin mur- der was when the officers came to his home and put him under arrest
