KILLING FINED FOR
ASSAULT ON WIFE
Mayor Exercises Leniency at
the Request of the Wife
and Daughter.

Nate Killing pleaded guilty in police
court to the charge of drawing a dead
ly weapon on his wife with intent to
kill and was sentenced to the county
Jail for six months and fined 800 and
costs by Mayor Zimmerman.
Killing in a jealous rage drew a re-
volver on his wife and threatened her
life, pulled the trigger of the weapon
which missed FIRE because of a faulty
cartridge. Before he could use ii again
he was overpowered by his daughter
who threw it into a cistern.
Killing broke down when centured
by Mayor Zimmerman. Hilling placed
his arms around his wife's neck and
wept. He threatened his wife on for
mer occasions. She was very nervous
yesterday and confned to her bed. The
attending physician feared she would
have nervous prostration.
Mayor Zimmerman said, I'VE pity
you that you are subject to such terri

at the expiration of your sentence you
will be able to appreciate your good
wife and family who have pleaded
with me in your behalf and that is the
only reason l have had your case tried
in this court and have not sentenced
you to the penitentiary and fined you
$500, as l intended to do. You ought
to be thankful that your daughter
haved you from killing your wife and
that she is alive.

ly 100 precincts TO be heard from

gave indications that he will carry
California by a majority of 1900. The

votes to the precinct.

timated majority over Roosevelt Of IL

the state over the Democrats for the
fifth time in its history since the rails

 The next morning they awoke at the break of day and on arising 1t was dis covered that MT. Fink who wore a soft woolen suit. was covered from head to foot with the lint from the cotton seed bed on which he had been lying and looked for all the world like Father Christmas out in a snowstorm: not only that, but in rolling around during the night he had got lint in his eyes. ears. nose and mouth. In fact, he was the intiest person imaginable. He spat and spluttered for few minutes and then said:
 "f have often heard of people being sn dry that they spit cotton, but I'll be d--n If I cant spit enough cotton this morning to make shirt for a China man"
 The rest of the party were compara- lively free from the clngiug lint and consoled John by telling him he should have known better than 10 have laid down among the cotton seed without re- moving his clothing.
 "A nice time to he telling fellow what to do after he has done it. What I want to know Is how to get rid of the three or four bales of cotton with which am covered"
 Rub hard and it will come off said Roddle Morrison. John started rubbing and the more he rubbed the worse his clothing got, and looking up he saw broad grin on the face of his advisor
 What John said to Roddle might have been barred from polite society. but it was much to the point and he appealed to the others for assistance.
 You will have to pick it off, said Homer Barclay John started picking the lint from his clothes. He soon found out that the method was as tedious as picking the pin feathers from Il Jerusalem goose and after he had cleared about two square inches he chuclSed up the job and said he would | throw his clothes in the river before he would pick another shred. Finally the party went to his relief and, by the aid of a curry comb, a horse brush, a bush broom and q mop. they succeeded in making John pre- sentable. As the operation was about completed an ancient horse looked out of the stable and gazed steadfastly at the party.
 What do you reckon that old horse | m hu i'm s,f pJa mil I.s asked the renovated Mir. Fink.

 John chased Roddie half way home. and vows that had 1t not been for the fact that 1t was his car that they We're using he would be chasing him yet. He declared that he will get even with the bunch if it takes him 40 years.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Reforming Banking Laws

To the Editor of The e-Herald.
 In your issue of September s you print story from your Washington correspondent on the campaign for banking reform He quotes the Comp troller of the Currency as to the need for a rediscount market for commercial paper, and for mobilizing our reserves.
 What he has to say Is sound and thoughtful When we remember that in 1907, with billion and half in gold scattered throughout our banks and locked up In the subtreasury, we had to borrow gold from England's instantly that there must be something wrong fin our banking system. Ours is the richest country in the world. We have the greatest stock of gold in the world, by far Yet even in times of commercial and agricultural prosperity we are subject to money panics. during which, to the astonishment of other civilized countries. our bankers must suspend specie payments and resort to the clearing house certificate
 The reason is not far to seek. It is to be found. first, In our system of scattered bank reserves; second. in our lack of a rediscount market for com mercial paper
 The remedy is to be found In our experience during recent panics. By pooling their reserves in the clearing house the banks were able to weather storms Why not nationalize and legal ize the clearing house principle? Why not organize our banks into a great aeunPia tfpn with a p- traI reserve agency to hold the ulti- mate reserves, and supply currency to that section where it is most needed to the south during the harvesting of the cotton crop, to the west when the wheat and corn crops are to be moved?
 European countries accomplish this through their central banks. We do not want a central bank. Such an institu- ton would be repugnant 10 American traditions and ideals. and 1t would, moreover, be difficult to graft new institution onto a system already well developed
 But the evolution of the clearing house idea into national cooperative agency is very different thing. We coulG, without any revolutionary change in our present system, establish such an agency. with the power to hold the ultimate bank ing reserves. to act as fiscal agent of tho government ttiuS uohiB dHdy Wlln tno grave error of keeping hundreds Of mil lins of dollars locked away from the uses of commerce and industry in our sub- treasury; to issue notes based on gold and commercial paper to deal in gold and foreign exchange. and to establish for eign agencies.
 One of the most important functions of such an agency should be the redis- counting of commercial paper. Our pres ent banking system makes stocks and bonds the best basis of credit, which is

FAIR EXHIBITS WILL SOON bE COMING
General Arrangements for Big State Show Near
 ing Completion

Everything is moving alone with push and vim at the Alabama State Fair grounds The decorators will soon take charge of the buildings. which will be a veritable fairland of color. The principal color scheme this year will be the fair as- sociation's official colors, purple and gold. The firm doing the decorating Is one that has made a national reputation. and the company claims that they will surpass themselves in decorating the Alabama State Fair grounds this year.
 F. P Chaffee, secretary general man ager of the fair, has just sent out notiti- cations to the various exhibitors that az ricultural exhibits must be in place and ready 4S hours before the fair opens, and that all exhibits must be installed within 24 hours before the fair opens and that neither hammer or nail will be allowed use on any exhibit after o'clock of the opening day of the fair.
 Mrs. J. B. Reid, manager of the wom- ans department. which is one of the most attractive features of the fair, will begin receiving exhibits for her department next Monday
 The agricultural exhibits promise to be on a more elaborate scale than ever be- fore, all the space devoted to such ex- hibits in the building has been taken up. and the entire space under the grand stand which has heretofore been blank has been reserved for county and indi- vidual agricultural exhibits.
 It has been decided to put the dog show, given under the auspices of the Bir- mingha Kennel club, In an immense cir GUS tent, which will be 90 by 40 feet. This tent will be in place by October 1 and will be located immediately behind the poultry building.
 Practically all the space for dairy cat tie, beef cattle and swine has been re- served. The exhibits in these departments will be a revelation to those who visit the fair.
 Dr. Hal F. Halstead. superintendent of the poultry department, states that all the "chicken cranks' are looking forward to being at the Alabama State fair, and that he promises the best poultry show ever held south of the Ohio river. A num- Der of exhibitors in the poultry building will show incubators in action with little chicks matching each day of the fair. There will also be special exhibits of pet stock in the department
