Florence, October 13.-(Special.)-It Is the intention of Congressman B. G. Hum- rhreys, from Greenville. Miss, to visit the home of Mr. .aand Mrs. J. B.

Humphreys ard Judge Richardson are very much in- terested in the development of the Ten nessee river, as attested in speeches at Huntsville two years ago. Uncle Joe'' Cannon ex-speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives. will he guest of MT. Hum- phreys October F, 13, and IA, and in all probability will return to Washington with him.

FEW FEATHER BEDS
 UP IN FORT PAYNE
Stranger Gathered Them all for Cleaning and Now
 He Is Gone

Fort Payne, October 3-(SpeciaL) "A man proposing to make your feather bed into brand new one or into a feather mattress, came to this place a few weeks ago, and after securing over 50 beds and as many more pillows drove to Collbran, a station on the Alabama Great Southern railroad, about five miles below here, and skipped for parts unknown, leaving num- 'bers of families without their feather beds for the winter. Several families lost every bed they had, the widow Den ris losing five beds and all the pillows she had. J. Cunningham, prosperous farmer near here, lost several beds also, and so on the report goes until over 5u can be counted gone besides others that were doubtless lost whose owners do not know the man has gone.
 The losing of all their beds means a whole lot to country people, for most of them use the feather bed and straw tick instead of mattresses, and now as winter is so near it will go hard with them as feather beds are not accumulated in a day.
 The way lie worked his scheme was t1fs: He brought ms family to town ana secured boarding house. He then went around and solicited work from some of the most influential people in town. This work was done all right, and of course he would use these peoples names as recom- rnendations to the country people, thereby gaining their confidence and beds. It is also thought that he had a process by which he separated the down from the feathers, and he would keep the down and ship to persons who would use the down for quilts, etc. After shipping the last batch of beds. he paid his board bill, and like the Arab, he silently stole away"

 GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, october 1S.-(Speciai)- Judge DeLacy of the juvenile court of the District of Columbia, has discovered a new and novel method of correcting the wayward child.
 It is through the use of the surgeons s knife.
 Does he cut the bad boys head off?
 Does he frighten the boy into subnis- sion by the flourish of sharp edged tools Does he carve the mischievous heart from the truant breast and parade it on a pike? s, In je No. No. None Of thiss "
 Judge DeLacy is humanitarian. He is more, than that. He is psychologist.
 He conceived the idea-the fact-that when a boy is bad there is something physically wrong with him. It is not his heart. His heart may be affected, but 1t is not naturally corrupt.
 So Judge DeLacy put the switch on the
