HOLIDAY TRADE
HAS STARTED
MANY FAR SEEING PERSONS ARE
NOW ENGAGED IN MAKING
PURCHASES FOR
CHRISTMAS.

Are you aware of the fact that many
people are already doing considerable
Christmas shopping? What, and with
Christmas six weeks distant?
1t will not take the six weeks long
to pass and Christmas will be here
almost before you know it. ASK any
of the local dealers who supply ar
ticles, especially for the holiday trade
and they will tell YOU there is consid-
cradle shopping being done six weeks
ahead of Christmas. The Christmas
goods have been arriving and the old
adage about the early bird and worm
is being put to good use. In this case
the worm is in the shape of articles
| already made or articles that require
finishing in time for Christmas.
The fact of the matter is that these
trips, which start out TO be for in
spection purposes only" as one shop
per put in usually result I'm one OF
more sales being made, as the store
visitor is quite apt to see something
that is a decided bargain or that gives
her a new idea as to appropriateness
as a Christmas gift for a relative OF
Friend. And if she sees an article thaI
is Just the very thing" for a certain
person, the chances are 100 to on,
she will buy Immediately for fear i
will be gone later on.
Visit any of the stores that make
speciality of Christmas goods on any
day when the weather is good and you
will find each establishment a busy
one, there being large numbers o
shoppers there at all Of the shoppn,
hours. Judging from present indica
tions, the Christmas trade from now ol
will be steady and extensive and thi
will mean that the rush and crowdinl
in the last few days before Decembe
25 will be lighter than in years. Ii
late years the annual admonition L
"shop early, and avoid the rush. spar
the clerks and avoid hurry and worry
has been followed by increasing mum
bers and only the thoughtless an
careless wait until the last minute {
look for gifts. There are some person
of course, who exchange gifts a
I Christmas simply because it is "cus
tomary' and not because they enjo
the giving, hence they will wait unit
the last minute satisfied to buy IAN
old thing, just so it is a Christina
present But fortunately the numbe
Of such persons is decidedly in tn
minority in this city.
a great many OF the shoppers ar
now buying materials which they wi
fashion with deft fingers in the mex
few weeks, making an sorts Of prett
= and useful gifts. And these article
which show painstaking care and la
= bor on the part Of the givers, have a
the more value to the recipients there

BROUGHT MISFORTUNE.
Dassers, Jewels and Mummies Were
Perious Possessions.

Among the many curiosities left by
the late Lady Meux is an Egyptian
mummy which Is said TO have brought
i'll luck TO every one who handled it.
Now, whether II is possible that a
curse pronounced IN the dim past can
by any means work harm through the
ages Is a matter Of opinion. But such
stories and the strange facts connect
ed with them are too numerous to be-
altogether neglected.
We may instance the case Of the
painted Egyptian coffin lid numbered
22542. which stands I'm the British Mu-
scum, and the remarkable tale Of mis-
fortune and death which has been as
osciated with this pictured face OF the
says Parsons Weekly.
The story is fairly well known, for
| two years ago all the daily papers
were fun Of it, It is sufficient TO say
that from the time Of the discovery
of the coffin in 1889 the priestess SEEM
ed to bring misfortune on every one
who had anything to do with her cof-
fin.
All five Of the original finders came
to grief, and even the carrier who took
the case to the museum. the photog-
rapher who photographed it and the
well known writer who described the
event connected with it all died short
ly afterward.
Then there was the case Of George
Alefounder who, having discovered a
mummy too large to conveniently carry
away. deliberately beheaded It and
brought the head back to Europe in
a bonnet box.
I Then everything went wrong witt
him. Misfortune piled upon misfor-
tune. one day he CHANGED TO meet ;
medium. The latter at once told hin
that he could see a figure with higl
cliffs behind it, and clouds Of dus
about it. The figure, he said, wa.
headless.
As it happened Mr.. Alefounder haC
at the time forgotten all about tn,
mummy head. Now he remembered /
and. much startled, cnsulted anothe
medium. From her he heard precise
ly the same story. This was enough
He sent the head back at once to it,
original resting place.
The late. shah Of Persia owned
dagger which is said to make its pos
SCISSOR nvincible But as the supersti
ton is that he who uses it shall in
evitably perish by it, it is kept secure
ly locked in a sandalwood box.
\ curious parallel to this Persian
: dagger is vouched by c. w. Leadbeat
er. A certain English family owns
stiletto which inspires every one VIII

This weapon belonged to an an

Still more amazing is a story told
by the late head Of the Paris morgue.
Five times within his experience dead
bodies brought TO the morgue We're

easily distinguishable by its strange
design.
It bore in eastern characters this
legend: MAJ whatsoever wears this

RIVERSIDE PROUD
 OF DIR. J. T. BROWN
His Appoint tment as Road Commits sioner of St. Clair Is
 Discussed

Riverside, March 11.-(Special)-Dr. J. T. Brown, one of the leading physicians of tlis county, was honored yesterday by Gov Emmet ONeal with the appoint ment of road commissioner of this county, under the special road law which was passed by the legislature recently.
 Dr. Brown has all the requisites neces- sary In performing the duties assigned him. It Is considered signal victory for this side of the county. However, he will endeavor to treat each and every community with equal consideration.
 Dr. Brown was born in Centreville, Bibb county during the year 1866. His father before him fought. bled and died for the cause of "pure democracy" and since the day he became old enough to have a hand in politics he has pursued his fath- CTS footsteps, and IS today regarded as one of the shrewdest politicians in this county
 The remains of Mrs. Ellen Coil, who died in Memphis on yesterday afternoon, reached here Saturday morning for inter- ment In the Coleman cemetery. Mrs. Coil suffered stroke of paralysis on Monday afternoon, and death relieved her of her suffering Thursday. Mrs. Coil is sister of Mrs. Janies R. Coleman. She has lived to the ripe old age of S2 years.

KAP[AN CONTESTS
 HIS FATHERS WILL
Another Feature of Scram-
 ble for Legacy
HOSPITALS ARE MIXED
The Grand Jury Scores Anniston for Prohibition Violations-S. w. Pace Elected to Head the
 Calhoun Fair

Anniston, March 12.-(Special. )-Robert H. Kaplan, son of the late L. H. Kap- Ian, the well-known Anniston Hebrew philanthropist, who died year ago and left most of his property to charity, has filed suit in chancery court In this city to contest the provisions of his father In that final testament. The will is filed exactly one year from the day on which his father died.
 MT Kaplan died in Atlanta on March S., 1910, and one of the grounds on which the contest will be made Is that the will was made in accordance with the laws of Alabama and was executed In Georgia.
 It is further claimed that the deceased was unduly influenced by some person or persons, to the complainant unknown, to leave the bulk of his property to several hospitals instead of to his son. Fur thermore. it Is averred that Mel F. Sterne, who witnessed the document was disqualified on the ground that he was the attorney who made out the docu- ment.
 Before the death of the late L. H. Kap-
 
 several years, the latter living in Texas, though lie moved to Alabama after his fathers death, and Is now making his home at Talladega. Talladega attorneys will represent him in'the contest, which Is against NJ. B. Welborn, president of the First National bank; T. w. Coleman, judge, and A. H. Shepperd, clerk of the city court of Anniston, who were named as trustees of the will
 The suit involves about $1000OO, and the trustees are now engaged in another interesting contest with the hospitals. It was stipulated that the property was to be divided between the Jewish hospital for hospital for consumptives at Jerusalem. Later it developed that there are more than one Jewish hospital of this oharac- ter at both places, each of them alleg- ing that it is the one specified in the will. An -Anniston charity hospital was will, and in the case the other hospitals could not be located or did not qualify 10 receive the money, all of the charity was to go to the Anniston hospitals, so In view of the contest there is considered a chance for the local institution to get all the money, unless young Kaplan Is suc- cessful in his suit.
 Store Is Robbed
 A telephone message was received here Saturday morning to the effect that the store of T. D. Snider at McFall had been
