ton, Alabama.

Admission, Ala, Oct. 10.--Enraged
rural citizens who were in this city
from Choccolocco and De Armaville
last week, stated that unless they
are given more protection hereafter
by the law from reckless Joy riders
in their respective vieinities they are
going to resort to the use of their
shotguns and some one is going to
get hurt.
The immediate cause of this threat
was the act of a joyous one who
speeded through the two towns Sun
day afternoon and left a number of
demolished vehicles, a mule with a
broken leg and three persons severely
injured in his wake, it being alleged
that he showed little concern over
the effects of his reckless driving, con-
tinuing on his way rejoicing without
even so much as looking back.
Those who were injured were Miss
Minnie Lee Osborne, who sustained a
badly sprained back when her carri-
age was struck while she was out
driving with Carl league, who re-
ceived dislocated knee cap and other
injuries. Elmore Beck was injured
slightly when his buggy was demol-
ished. The gentlemen and their
friends were here in search of the
joyous one, and if they had located
him there would likely have been
some contusions to help out the idle
doctors in healthy Admission.

COUNTY JAIL IS
FULL OF LUNATICS
One Crazy Woman Alarms the Whole
Neighborhood in the Vicinity of
the County Jail.

County Jailer Tom Giles is being
greatly annoyed by the antics of a
crazy negro woman who is now con-
fined in the county Jail. Not only
Mr.. Giles and his family are annoyed
by the antics of the lunatic, but pu-
pills of the public schools and citizens
living in that vicinity are kept awake
nights by the unearthly and inhuman
noises which the demented woman
persists in making.
At present there are three lunatics
in the county jail, and the situation
has become exceedingly uncomforta-
BILE for Mr.. Giles and his family.
There is a probability that these
crazy people will be kept in the Jail
here for an indefinite length of time,
as there is no room for them at the
insane .asylums of the State. One of
the lunatics has been in the county
Jail for three months.
This condition of affairs emphasizes
tne necessity OF providing a place to
keep lunatics until they are trans
ported to the asylum. At present
these unfortunates are treated as
prisoners, and are kept confined in
the county Jail, as there is no other
place for them.
Jailer Giles will call the attention
of the Board of Supervisors to these
facts and endeavor to induce them to
prepare separate place for dement,
ed persons. That the need for such
place is apparent there can be no
manner of doubt, and it is believed the
supervisors will relieve the situation
at its next meeting.
