A POLISH WEDDING.
Fun and Profit Strangely Mingled In
thc Festivities.

tlc FtStiNfkitS.
A wedding among the Poles may Ger.
tainly be said 10 hold its own among
the more entertaining of marriage Gus
toms There fun and profit are strange
ly mingled in the marriage festivities,
for the bride depends upon the we'd
ding festival for her dowry and rareiy
fails TO get enough to enable her tc
begin housekeeping with comfort.
After the wedding feast a dance is
in order, and at that dance every mar
who would distinguish himself must
once in the evening at. least claim this
bride for a partner The honor Of
dancing with her. however, is not to
be obtained lightly. The aspirant must
win the privilege and pay for it.
In one corner of the room the moth
er of the bride has taken up her posi-
ton with plate in her lap The wise
woman has chosen that plate careful,
~. II is made after the plan of an
eating house coffee cup and could not
justly be described as frail.
The. gallant who wishes TO dance
with the bride-and, as has been said,
all are in honor bound to do so-must
pull out a piece of silver and throw it
into the plate. Not until he has sue
ceeded in breaking or chipping that
almost mvinciblc piece of. crockery
has he won the honor he seeks. Few
succeed III making an impression upon
the plate for less than sum equal to
so cents of our money.
The money thus accumulated goes to
the bride and not unusually amounts
to seventy-fve or one hundred dollars.
even where the crowd is apparently
as poor as it can well be. This sum in
a rural district of Poland is enough to
start the young couple fairly in house
keeping.-Detroit Free Press.

HAULED AWAY TWO
LOADS OF LIQUOR

One of the largest raids of alleged
blind tigers made in Jefferson county
since the passage of the statewide PROM
bition act was consummated yesterday
afternoon by Deputy Sherifs Steele and
Vaught The place raided was a stand
at room Is, Simon building, Nineteenth
street between Second and Third ave-
n,es. and the liquor conhscated consisted
of "a cases of whisky, 36 unopened and
1s partly full, and 81 bottles of beer on
ice. Quarts, pinits, half pints and sam
ples are included in the lot of whiskies.
The large quantity of liquor seized was
hauled to the county jail in two drays,
and has been stacked in the jail cellar
pending an order from the criminal court
for it's destruction.
The deputies making the raid had much
difficulty in getting the goods seized from
the place they had raided. The alleged
blind tiger" was located on one OF the
upper stories of the Simon building and
the cases of whisky had to be carried
down to the dray one by one.
The place was visited about o'clock
yesterday afternoon.

Senator John H Bankhead made the
first speech in the United States Senate
which ever called the attention or the
nation to the necessity for national aid
for good roads-a subject which has since
swept the country, and is now about to
eliminate In the first appropriation ever
made by the government for that pur-
pose.
Senator Bankhead, R. Tyler Goodwin
and a half dozen democrats were stand
ing in the Morris hotel lobby yesterday
morning when Mr.. Goodwin hailed the
senator as the Father of Good Roads.
1T really believed said Mr.. Goodwin,
that YOU have been the greatest FAC
tor in the development of good roads ana
in spreading the doctrine that the United
states has ever known" and Captain
Goodwin backed up this statement with
the facts.
-Four years ago Colonel Bankhead be-
gan preaching the doctrine of good roads.
At that time Alabama was dormant on
the subject, and it was considered joke
Never since has the senator lost an OPP
portunity to picture to the people OF ms
state the great advantage of good ROADS.
He has thrown it at them from every
angle. and today half the counties nave
great bond issues, the people have unan-
,mously voted In favor of state aid, and
the party is pledged not only to give state
aid but to elect a state road commas

But Colonel Bankhead carried the fight
to the nation, and in his maiden speech
on April IA two years ago he began his
campaign for national aid. He has in
troduced a bill and It is Endorsed from
the gulf to Canada
And yesterday Colonel Bankhead was
able to say: IT firmly believe we will
have national aid for good roads within
three years. 1t is on the calendar this
fall, and I intend to call 1t up and keep
calling it up until it is passed If the
government would give one-half what 1t
does to the rural free delivery the roads
would be so improved that in few years
the appropriation for the free delivery
could be cut down.
when the national government. the
state and the counties work together we
will have ideal roads,"
you have won the title of father to
the good roads movement" said Mr.
Goodwin.
well" laughed the colonel, they used
to laugh at me, and make joke OF 1t,
but believe today 1t is the most i'm
portant issue before the people, and am
glad to see the people waking up to the
Importance of 1t.

the wrapt attention which the farmers
gave me, and they seemed to appreciate

TARIFF CHANGES
DISCRIMINATORY

Mobile, August efficiently the Mobile
and Ohio and Southern railways gave
notice of tariff changes, these roads re-
fusing to absorb terminal charges for
shipside delivery at this port, such as
is customary in other gulf ports on
through bills of ladng. Today a spe-
cial committee of the Mobile Chamber
of Commerce, representative Of the en-
tire business and commercial interests
of the city, made report that the tariff
change is discriminatory against Mobile
and requesting the railroads to recede
from their position. This report was in
dorsed by the directors of the commercial
organization. Vice President E. L. Rus
sell of the Mobile and Ohio, for the rail-
roads, has refused to recede and the
complaint will go to the interstate COM
merce commission for adjustment. The
railroad companies declare that they will
take the case to the United States SUI
preme court before they will recede from
the tariff position they have taken.

Prisoners Bold Plot Fooled

Thanks to the circumspect guard kept
by Warden Wakely Of the Admission city
hall and Street Overseer w. z. Parker
one Of the most brazen plots ever con-
cocted by the city prisoners Of Admission
to effect an escape has just come to light
through a confession by George Doright,
the negro leader, who was punished by
Recorder Green in the police court this
morning, together with his white and
black confederates.
The boldest feature Of the plot was
contemplated attack on the city street
guard while he was at work in an alley
in negro section of the city, where
the prisoners believed, their act would
not attract much attention. They were
to overpower the guard, place shackles
on his feet, handcuff and gag him and
leave him to the mercy of the fates, ac
cording to Doright. Overseer Parker
learned of this plot In time to prevent
its execution.
The other plot consisted of an effort
to saw their way to liberty, which is
believed to have been in progress for
over two weeks. Doright and his COM
panions began the work with a piece of
case knife and an old pocket knife, but
later the work was fastened by hack
saw which had been secured by one of
the white prisoners. This work was pros
ecuted at night and concealed in the
daytime by stuffing soap in the cracks
and covering them with lime dust. War
den Wakeley discovered this plot.

NOTICED BALD SPOT
COMING ON, HEAD
Interesting Storyof Consultation
DermatoIogist and Successful Use
of Cuticura. Also Case of Severe
Ivy Poisoning, Relief Of Which by
Cuticura was Permanent.

mine years ago I noticed bald spot
coming on my head and, as / was only
nineteen years old, it did not seem
natural, as it was on the side Of my
head instead Of on top. My mother
advised my seeing dermatologist and
did so, one of the best in Boston, and
he said it was due to a germ l must
have got at the barber's. He couldn't
assure a cure, but by treating each hair
separately by electricity, he said, the
hair might come out white or gray, if
it came out at all. He proposed giving
me q treatment every month for six
months at ten dollars q treatment.
When I told my mother she advised
using Cuticura and this I did, using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment every day.
In two months my hair commenced to
grow, and in six months one would
never have known there had been any
trouble, the hair coming out being black,
the exact shade Of my own. I have
never had any trouble since, and feel
l can't say half enough for Cuticura.
Another member of our family was
terribly poisoned by poison ivy and
every summer for six years the blisters
came, bursting and causing great suffer-
ing. We tried everything recommended
by the best physicians, but. with no
good result. Finally we tried Cuticura
and obtained relief in very short time
which was permanent. She has never
had any trouble since, SO Cutcura is
invaluable to us, you see. G. j. Browne,

Farm officer Is Optimistic

o. P. Ford, former county lecturer for
Calhoun, but who was advanced to the
office of vice president at the recent meet
ing of the Alabama Farmers union at
Montgomery, has returned to the city,
and when seen this evening he was very
optimistic in his expressions regarding
the future of agriculture in this state.
Mr.. Ford says that his observation
teaches him that the farmer in Alabama
is now on a higher plane of citizenship
than he has ever been. His vision Is
broadening, he says, and he is beginning
to assert himself in way that cannot
but rebound to the general welfare. He
says that the farmer of the future In
Alabama is not only going to improve
the farms, but that he is going to con-
tinue his demands until there Is an ex-
cellent system of public highways
throughout the south.

Enraged Citizens Hunting Negro

Several enraged citizens of Weaver were
in Admission today prosecuting a vigilant
search for an unknown negro who ran
down little 12-year-old F1ossie Ray,
daughter of Allen Ray. a well-known
farmer OF that city, Friday afternoon
with q horse and buggy.
According to the details. as received
in this city. the act of the negro was
an unusually brutal one. He had been
to a picnic and was returning with three
negro girls with him in the buggy when
the little girl was noticed. She attempted
to get out of the way of the man who
was driving the horse, 1t is said. running
into cotton patch; but the negro de-
liberately swerved the horse toward her,
the wheels passing over her body and
the horse then falling on the PROSTATE
form. the child being dangerously in
jured.
