Special Service Men Working On Mys-
terious Killing at Warrior

Although Louisville and Nashville
special service men have been work
ing on the mystery for four days, the
death of William and Jeff King the
two white miners who were decap-
itated in the Warrior cut, is as far from
solution as ever
The relatives of the two dead men
are now cooperating with the officers
and yesterday 1t was stated that a
clue had been unearthed that would
possibly throw some light on the trag-
edy.
The men, it will be recalled. were
found by an engineer decapitated In
the cut at an early hour last Thurs
day morning. They We're last seen
at Warrior about midnight going to-
ward the point where death overlook
them.
Yesterday the secret service agents
discovered that the men were EN-
gagged in a conversation with two
strangers at Warrior early in the even
ing before their death. 1t is alleged
that the two King boys exhibited a
roll of money which is believed to have
excited the cupidity of some observers
who forthwith planned the robb cry 1t
was also learned yesterday that a con-
ductor on the Louisville and Nashville
saw the men with the roll of money.

KOLB DISCUSSES
CROP CONDITIONS
SAYS CORN YIELD WILL BE LAR
GEsT IN STATES HISTORY, But
THAT COTTON SEEMS TO BE SUI
FERING

"Alabma farmers are sending millions
of dollars out Of the state for meat and
corn products. and l know of no state
ment of which | could be more ashmed,
said Reuben F. Kolb, nominee for state
commissioners OF agriculture and head of
the agricultural department of the Ala
bama State Fair.
The farmer who has planted nothing
this year but cotton deserves TO have his
crop washed away, and then burned up
when the dry season follows the flood.
Diversified farming is the crying need
in Alabama. and It is this which We are
trying to promote through the agricul-
tural department Of the State Fair. When
the farmer learns to raise everything at
home he will be Independent of the high
cost of living and will be in a position
to snap his fingers in the face of the
calamity howber.
THE average Alabama farmer buys
canned and dried fruits and other canned
and dried goods. He gets up in the MORN
ing at the alarm OF Connecticut clock
and then fastens his Chicago suspenders
to his Detroit overalls. He then washes
his face with Cincinnati soap in Penn
sylvania washpan, sits down to Grand
Rapids table and eats Indiana homfny
fried in St. Joseph lard on a St Louis
stove. Then he puts a St. Louis bride
on his Tennessee mule and plows farm
covered by a New York mortgage When
bed time comes he reads Bible printed
in Chicago, says prayer written in
Jerusalem and crawls under a blanket
made in New Jersey, only to be kept
awake by an Alabama dog, which is
about the only home-raised product on
the place
II am glad, however, to see that tho
corn crop in Alabama this year will be
the largest in the history of the state
The rains have not harmed II, and 1t 10
in fine shape. I believe the cotton crop
has been seriously damaged In some
places, while in others the transforms
have not been damaging
The wiregrass region is becoming i'm
dependent, due to its diversified farming,
II has taken the lead over the black belt,
but eevry section needs Improvement" ,
Colonel kolb has just returned from a
trip over the state in the interest of the
State Fair. He has landed a total OF IS
county exhibits. the last having been
Blount, which he has just landed Hs
will address a large crowd of farmers
at Brownsville today He has also se-
cured some fine Individual exhibits from
Montgomery county.
He expects the coming fair to outstrip
anything in history, with three-times as
many agricultural exhibits as on previous
years.

WHITE MAN IS HELD
FOR COAL SW|NDLE
Dickerson Charged With Pass.
ing Bogus Checks
WORKED UNIQUE SCHEME
Dctectiyes Claim Numerous Coal Deal
ers In District Have Been Victims
OF HIS Practices During Past
Few Days

The police department feels that 1t made
a very important arrest yesterday even
Ing when n white man giving his name
as W. r. Dickerson was arrested for for
gerry and grand larceny. Dickerson was
arrested by Detective Wren, who claims
that he caught Dickerson passing bogus
check. There are a half dozen charges
of forgery and as many charges of grand
larceny against Dickerson and Mr. Wren
said last night that there Will be many
more charges placed against him as soon
as 1t is generally learned that he is ar
rested.
The method of Dickersons operations,
as outlined by Detective Wren last night
are unique 1t is alleged that his favor
ite game was going to the different coal
companies in town and pricing their dit
ferent grades of coal He would finally
place an order with the company for
about 20 tons for himself and 20 tons for
neighbor. After the deal was closed,
it is alleged Dickerson would then state
that he wanted only one ton of coal de-
livered at the present time and he would
produce check for $40 or s25, thereby
paving for the one ton and the dealer
would give him the change in good, hard
money, which usually amounted to $l2
or SIS.
Mr. Wren said that he had been fol-
lowing Dickerson for the last few days
and last night followed him into the Of
fee of the Hoyt Coal Co., at Tenth ave-
nue. and Nineteenth street Mr.. Wren
stood aside and listened to Mr.. Dlckerson
go through the entire deal. He then ar
rested him and locked him in the city
jail.
= The charges of grand larceny are most
lA with reference to bicycles that 1t is
alleged Mr. Dickerson has stolen Inc
police claim that he is the man who has
been doing all the bicycle stealing when
has been going on all over the city for
the last few weeks. Several cases OF
bicycle thefts have been proved on the
prisoner, 1t Is claimed
Dickerson refused to make any state
ment last night at the city jail
Detective Wren stated that there we're
many people In the city who held some
of Dickerson's worthless checks or had
had a bicycle stolen from them. He re-
quested all these people bring their evil
dence and full particulars OF their cases
to the office of the chief of police, In
the city hall building, and the charge
would be placed against Dickerson.
There are three business places which
fell victims to Dickerson In Ensley, and
It is claimed that he worked the swim
die In srroundng towns. The deal yes
terday at the office of the Hoyt company
and which resulted in Dickerson's down
fail, was made for two tons of coal to
he delivered OF course, he had left an
order for many more tons and the COM
pany thought it had closed a good bar
gain. Dickerson then gave ZIG check
for the two tons and received $40 IN
change. At this juncture Mr.. wren IN
