Boy Rescued

The boy staggered away and made luis way to the home of w D. Moody 2f0e Eighteenth avenue, and stumbled in. Mir Moody severed the bonds ana the boy fncoherently told his story The Rev. Horton was notified and he brought Dr. H. F. M;rrhell with him to administer to the boy. who beyond few bruises. was not seriously in- 1ured. only suffering from a shock from his somewhat terrifying experience. He was taken to his home, where he quick 1y recovered.
 Sheriff McAdory was then notified and mnde a record run to Insley after Deputy Jim Brown and the dogs. He reached the scene in the short space of. an hour In the meantime Officers Cole and McDnff, the local officers sta toned at North Birmingham, had made thorough investigation of the case, but no trace of the miscreants could he found. Accompanying Sheriff McAdory were Chief Deputy Metcalf, Deputies Bonner, Chew and McDuff and Special Detective J. B Cole.
 The dogs quickly found the trail at the Horton house and followed briskly until they came to the railroad em- bankment a short dlsrance from tho house. At the suggestion of Sheriff MeAdory young Horton, who had re- covered from his fright. went with the officers to the scene, where the men mad threatened to lynch him, in the hones or traceing the miscreant hack The dogs Nailed to pick up the trail probably owing to the seeming inabil- ity of the young victim to point out the exact spot where the outrage took rlace.
 Rev, Horton and his family are new corners tof North Birmingham. he being assigned to the Twelfth Avenue church at the last conference.
 z Paul is the youngest of four sons. he Is q bright and intelligent boy. 4 studen, at the Birmingham High school and is { exanplary in his habits Neither he no, f his family have any idea who the men were, and are at a loss to account fo, the outrage committed last night. From g the fact that the two men whom he ap- E preached near his fathers church men, 9tioned his name he was evidently known 4to them, aRd it would also appear that 4sthey -lnew Detective Cole and Debut Y <McDuff were watching the house from 4 the remark they made to the boy while in Inc woods. From these circumstances and the fact that Paul is comparative Stranger in North Birmingham the con scusion Is reached that the crime vas committed by someone Familiar with North Birmingham. and by someone who knows something about the recent Lewis huhg assassinatiops that would be dam aging evidence If discovered
 The sheriff gave some special instrur- >tions to the deputies last night and will Hiss every means to bring the cowardly mjscreais to- justice. .s'.s s.. s.

House Watched


 Deputy Sheriff Fred McDuff and De- teetive J. B. Cole were put on the case ? to watch Rev. Horton's residence each might in the hopesf of catching the. black7hand gang. Last night was notes that the detectives were not on duty.
 After the receipt of the first note. Rev. Horton forbade Paul from leaving the house after dark and last night was the first time that he had done so. It is thought that he men who committed the outrage had teen keeping a watch on the house, waiting for the hoy to appear. When last night the men took him away from his home, Twenty-frst avenue and -Twenty-third street bound and gagged and covered with a pistol they proceeded to a point near the old reservoir about three blocks from Wal ter Moores house and about the same distance from Chancellor A. H. Benners home. They then removed the gag from his mouth and asked him what he knew about what they were talking about on that Friday night near the church. The boy declared that he had not heard what they said. But they placed a rope around his neck, threw it over the limb of a tree and gave it jerk, as hard that an imnrint of the rope was made around the lads neck They loosened on the rope again and asked him once more what he knew. He still declared that he knew nothing. One of them said, Cole thought he would watch us last night but we were too slick for him." They then took the rope from Paus neck, one man hit him on the jaw with the butt of his gun while the other man kicked him in the side and bade him be gone and keep his mouth shut

Remedy Present System

But it might as well be understood now as at any other time. that the city Is building these crematories in an earnest desire to rid all the people or Greater Birmingham of the present ob- noxious system of garbage disposal by dumping In open lots The. board is well satisfied that these c.ematories will prove blessing to the people and not Ia burden and. there.ore. will not be deterred from it's purpose by nasty or i'll judged attempts in the courts to thwart it's efforts to relieve the peo- pie. Now. I make this suggestion: Ii will take two weeks to assemble the material to build the Woodlawn ere matory. Suppose the good citizens of Woodlawn men and women. get to- gether in spirit of fairness and learn something about the crematory-what it looks like. how if works, what t does, and all about it."

HOW TO SUCCEED

During the last few years conditions
in all lines of business. even profess
sional life have changed so completely
that every man is waking up to the
fact that in order to win success ne
must specialize and learn to do some
one thing and do it well.
So it is with any article that is sold
to the people. 1t must have genuine
merit or no amount of advertising will
maintain the demand for the article.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable
record maintained by DR.. Kilmer's
SWamp-RoOt, the great Kidney, Liver
and Bladder Remedy. From the very
beginning the proprietors had so much
confidence in it that they invited every
one to test it, free of cost, before pur-
chasing.
1t is a physicians prescription.
They have on file thousands of let
tiers received from former sufferers
who are now enjoying good health IS

roads now connecting the two towns.
thirty miles apart The highway from
Americas to Ellaville, fifteen miles
is one of the best in Georgia, smooth
and superb in every respect, as motor
lists are well aware. From Ellaville
to Buena Vista, the capital of Marion

is just as good as can be constructed.
1t winds through the picturesque hills

THE FIRST GRAY HATR
SIGN OF AGE
Easy aWy To Preserve Natural Color
of The Hair.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natural color. The care
of the hair, to prevent it from losing
its color and lustre, is just as i'm
portant as to care for teeth to keep
them from dis-coloring. Why spend
money for cosmetics and creams TO
improve the complexion, and yet ne
glect your hair when gray hair is
even more conspicuous and sugges-
tive of age than wrinkles or a poor
complexion? OF the two, it is easier
10 preserve the natural color and beau
ty of the hair than it is to have a good
complexion.
All that is necessary is the occas-
ional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, a preparation of COM
mon garden Sage and Sulphur. com
bined with other valuable remedies for
dry, harsh, faded hair, dandruff, itch
ink scalp and falling hair. After a
few applications of this simple, harm
less remedy, your hair will gradually
be restored to its natural color, in a
short time the dandruff will be remov-
ed, and your hair vii no longer come
out but will start TO grow as Nature
intended it should.
Don't neglest your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make or
mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for fifty
cents bottle. and your druggist will
give your money back if you are not
satisfied after using. Purchase
bottle today YOu will never raoret II
when you realize the difference II viii
