TWO INJURED IN
 MOTORCYCLE WRECK
Gayle Joyce and Robert Carr Said to Have Been Run Into By
 Negro Driver

Gayle Joyce, aged 20 years, and Robert Carr. aged r years, were painfully in- jured last night when motorcycle rid den by them crashed into grocery de- livery wagon, driven by negro for the Grimes Grocery company, at Avenue G and Twentieth street.
 Mir Carr was riding in box in front of the machine and MT. Joyce was run ming it. The machine belonged to Sut- tons ice cream factory and was out on a trial run after having been overhauled. The boys were on the right hand side of the street when the negro, according to eye witnesses, came over to their side and seemingly drove right into their path.
 Carr was hurt about the scalp and Joyce was shaken up quite badly. He pulled himself to a telephone post on the side of the street, but was unable to rise to his feet. Bystanders rushed to them and took both to the Hillman hos pital, nearby, where their wounds were dressed. Joyce, it is said, sustained a fractured rib. After they were given treatment they were sent to their homes where they will be confined but a few days.
 Both boys were employed by Robert Stubbs, at motorcycle shop on Fourth avenue between Nineteenth and Twen- tieth streets. Joyce has a statewide rep utation as a motorcycle racer and par ticipated in the races at the State F'ail this fall.

COURT OF APPEALS
 REvERSES DECISION
As to Tag Tax on Cotton Seed Meal Containing 7H
 Per Cent Ammonium

Montgomery, December 21.-tSpe- cial. )-A decision of Judge Mabry or the Selma city court invalidating the tag tax of 30 cents a ton on cotton seed meal containing 7h per cent ann monium has been reversed by the Ala bama court of appeals. The case was a friendly one and the Law Lamar Fer tilizer Manufacturing company was de- fendant in ex parte proceedings.
 Under section six of the seed regula- tion act provision is made that all seed meal containing 7h per cent am monium must be registered as other fertilizer material. Agricultural Com missioner Kolb took the view that be- ing registered the seed is subject to taxation. Judge Mabry held that tho law requires the seed to be registered and hence not subject to tax. The states appealed.
 The case will now go back to the Selma court for retrial and may be ap- pealed to the supreme court on ques- tions of constitutionality.

 Sergeant Buckalew has been a member of the police department for over nine years, and at the time of the annexation of the outlying suburbs, he was made Sergeant Buckalew. Chief Bodeker stated last night:
 q placed Sergeant BuckaIew at West End, which is one of the most important precincts, on account of his integrity and keen discretion as police officer, belev- Ing that ne was most competent for the place, and since that time I have had no cause to think otherwise. I wish to com mend him for the admirable self control he displayed ill the affair this afternoon in not bringing matters to a climax sooner than he did. l am sure that what he did was forced upon him and not of his seek ing. l am, of course, exceedingly sorry that the young man was killed, but from investigation it seems that it was either he or Sergeant Buckalew, and the officer defended himself, as every man has per feet right to do,
 Sergeant Buckalew was much wrought up over the affair and frequently displayed emotion Next to the dead mans wife, he seemed to be the most deeply affected person near the scene. He enjoys the full confidence of the citizens of his precinct. At present. his wife is in bed i'll and at times during the past week her life has been despaired of Chief Bodeker last night relieved him from duty to permit him to be at her bedside

IN MEMORIAM

Departed this life, on December 8, 1911, at her home, The Oaks, near Collinsville Ala, Elizabeth Petit Payne, daughter of Turner Ashby and Annie Ancell Payne, aged 13 years
 seven months and one day. To this precious sodl has been fulfilled the glorious promise for they shall see God" for she was pure in heart" From her very infancy her heart was filled with love-that sweet charity which ''thinketh no eviI' and which won for her friends in all classes In the purity of her soul she loved and admired all things pure and beautiful
 yet the tenderest sympathy was be- slowed upon any afflicted, suffering or sinful one. She was unselfish and gen erous-never quite enjoying her pleas ures and the good things of life which were hers, unless sharing them with her loved ones. She was thoughtful and earnest beyond her years, and her life of faith and charity was a les- son we all might learn, with profit
 Beautiful of feature and character alike. she is 1iow'' a bright gem among Gods jewels. She was taken sick on Sunday November 26. Awhile student at tic Birmingham seminary, returning home on the following "Wednesday so i'll that she was never able to be up again Her suffering was intepse, yet she was brave and patient, assuring her loved ones of her faith in Gods kgood- ness and wisdom, and her submission to His will was perfect WhileA our hearts are bleeding with sorrow Nor our own great loss, we sorrow not for her, for we know that she is now safe from all things hurtful and is far happier than we can even conceive, in the presence of God and angels to dwell eyermore. May He who has seen fit to send this affliction, even though in kindness, upon us, give us grace and strength to so live through the rest of our journey here, that we may soon join her on the ever green shore" and be forever with her in that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens HER AUNT.

 GROUND 10 PIECES Dave Mangum Caught in Machinery in Cullman EVERGEENS SHIPPED L. B. Burch, ST., Dies Wednesday in Cullman-Reported Taft Has Sent
 Sufferers Name to Senate
 for Postmastership

Cullman, December 21.-(Special )-News has reached Cullman that a young man
 by the name of Dave Mangum was in stantly killed yesterday near Simcoe in | this county, five miles east of Cullman, I by having some part of his clothing
 caught in the line shaft of the Oaks gin
 at that place. It is said that young Man gum was attempting to fix a portion of l the machinery which had gotten out of
 order and in so doing part of his clothing became entangled in the line shaft and the man was Utterly torn to pieces. The young man killed yesterday was
 only about 23 years of age and had lived in that community all his life. He was employed as a workman around the gin-
 nery. It is said that before the machinery could be shut down and his body removed it was beaten into mangled mass. Funeral services were held today at the
 Simcoe burylng ground. The sad accident
 is a great shock to the community, in
 which the Mangum family resided. The
 deceased was highly respected in that neighborhood.
 An unusual sight in Cullman was the shipping of a 800 pound box of evergreens by the Southern Express company to the city of Chicago this week. to be used for the holiday trade in that city. The speci- mems shipped this week were uhusually fine, the holly being green and very thrifty looking, loaded with an abundance of bright colored fruit, and the mistletoe was literally covered with a wealth of pearl like berries
 Such things as Christmas trees, mistle- toe, holly, etc, for which the people in larger cities pay exorhibtant prices, may be had in this county for the asking. L. B. Burch, Sr., an aged citizen Of Gull man, died yesterday morning at his home here. MT. Burch was a native of this county, formerly living at Logan, 14 miles west of Cullman, but five years ago he moved to Cullman and entered into the mercantile business in West Cullman, and in which business he was engaged at the time of his death.
 Funeral services were held at his old home at Logan this afternoon, after which interment was made in the cemetery at that place. The deceased leaves wife and several grown children.
 Information has been received in Gull 1 man to the effect that President Taft has sent the name of John F. Stutterer to the l United States Senate for confirmation as postmaster of Cullman. The telegram an- nouncing this fact confirms the suspicion of many people of this city. It has been thought for some time that MT. Sufferer
 would be the lucky applicant for the place.

 For an instant the demon of murder looked from the doctors eyes, Phil quaiied before him. A frenzy of fear twisted his features.

 The Japanese made no reply, but the arms that braced the wheel were rigid as steel.
 Bersonin sank back in his seat, his massive frame quivering. his eyes gift tering like flakes of mica.
 The chauffeur swung himself from the seat into the crowd An insane desire had been creeping steaithiiy on Bersonin. He had felt it coming when he faced the truth in PhiPs cringing admission. The horrible compulston to laughter was on him. The damnabIe man-hysteria had him by the throat.
 His jaws opened. He Iaughed-a dreadful peal of merriment that echoed up and down the latticed street And as he laughed he knew that he raised a peril nearer. more fearful even than that from which he had been dying.
 There was an instant's shocked calm, like the silence which follows the distant spurt of blue flame from the muzzle of Krupp gun: then. like its answering detonation. in such . menacing roar as might arise from the brink of an inferno. the silence of tho quiet street burst into awful sound.
 Ten minutes later but single light ed shoji glimmered on the darkened thoroughfare. The roadway was de- serted save for a soldieriy figure in po- liceman's uniform who stood thought fully looking at huddle in the dim roadway-a mixture of wrenched and battered iron and glass. in the midst of which lay an inert. shapeless some thing that might have been a bundle of old clothes fallen from a scavengers cart.
