From the Indiana polls News
\ book agent will attempt TO sell his
book under many adverse circum-
stances. and in many cases he will sue
coed, but there are times when he sees
that a graceful retreat is the better
part. An agent tells the following
story:
Il approached a farmer in a poor
community and began showing my
book He listened with interest. but
when l had finished the first lap OF my
speech he said that he couldn't read.
OF course. that put a new light on the
matter. but ! didn't give up. for we
meet many customers who can't read.
I told him OF the great help it would
be to all his children and his wife, and
he was still interested.
Il thought I was making progress,
but wasn't. had finished my speech
with the usual peroration that is de-
signed to make the customer enthusi-
astic and make him sign for a book-a
thing few will do without considerable
persuasion. Instead OF taking the pen
ell, he said:

that. but / can't read. My daughter.

BAD WEATHER FOR GIANTS.

there. but brief clearing OF the sky
this afternoon gave slight hope OF games
tomorrow. so the athletes were taken
out to Dallas Park for a short practice

McGraw's men are in pretty fair con-

FOR KILLING NEGRO
Reformatory Boys Give In
teresting Entertainment.
WOOdmen to Celebrate

Tuscaloosa June 30.-(Special. )-Doc
Brigham, white man living in the north
ern section of the county, was found
guilty of murder in the second degree and
sentenced to % years in the penitentiary
by the jury in the circuit court yesterday
afternoon. The case of Bigham has Gre
ated much interest owing to the alleged
lawlessness which has existed In the
northern part of Tuscaloosa county for
some time. Bigham was charged with
the murder of Soonie Pruitt, well known
negro of that section. The case will be
appealed.
One of the most interesting and unusual
programmes ever rendered In Tuscaloosa
was that of the negro boys of the Sam
DAILY reformatory, who were in town yes
terday, 30 strong, and before an audience
of we'll known citizens gave varied pro-
gramme of songs and recitations. Their
knowledge of the Bible was really won
derful and those who We're fortunate
enough to hear them could but realize
the vast amount of good which is being
accomplished under the guidance of Sam
DAILY, a reliable and well known negro
farmer who some years ago began to
adopt the young negro boys who were
convicted OF petty crimes In Birmingham.
The exercises were held at the court
house and after the programme was con-
cluded Rev. ]. G.. Snedicor II. B. Foster,
Rev. s. NJ. Boyd, Battle Searcy and Rev.
John Little of Louisville made short ad-
dresses commenting Daily and his work
and impressing upon the boys the impor-
lance of their position and the gratitude
they owed DAILY. who supports the whole
institution by the products of his farm
and by personal gifts.
The Fourth of July will only be cele-
brated by the Woodmen of the World.
This organization has long been known
as adopts In the art of entertaining and
this year their celebration promises to
be unusually attractive, There will be a
big basket dinner on the grounds at the
skating rink and during the afternoon an
interesting athletic programme has been
arranged with prizes SO attractive as to
attract the best athletes in Tuscaloosa.
The affair will close with a big dance in
the skating rink.
The annual meeting of Camp Rodes,
United Confederate Veterans. will hold
its session at the city hall tomorrow
morning at IL O'Clock As is the usual
