DROWNED CONVICT
 MISSED PARDON
John White Was to Have Been Given Freedom
 This Christmas

Coroner E. l.. Brasher returned last night from Banner mine where he in- vestigated the drowning of John White, a life convict, sent up from Lamar coun- ty for murder.
 White was trusty at the prison and was out on the Warrior river Monday in a row boat Although there was no eye witness to the accident. it is believed that the boat tipped over, throwing White into the water and that he was drowned be- fore he could reach safety. The irony of fate played a strong part in the death of the convict as he had been promised a pardon at Christmas time
 White was missed Monday night and q search was started at once Dynamite was used 10 make the body come to the surface of the water, as it was almost certain at that time that he had been drowned. Wednesday the river was dragged and it was but a short time be- fore the body was found.
 Coroner Brasher. after Investigating tae death. declared it to be one of drowning by accident. He sent casket to the mines yesterday morning for the burial of White

It was awful. He suffered tortures from 1t. and we had to tie mittens on his hands to keep him from scratching. We tried everything we knew and had hin, to three doctors, but they could not help him. A friend of mine told me of the Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment and l went to a drug store and bought them. When we would bathe bis face with the Cuticura soap and apply the Cuticura Ointment, he would be much better. He would wake up in the nights and cry with his faco and VIC would put on some of the Cuticura Ointment and then he would rest all right. By keepine this up every day his face began to heal and then got well altogether. He suffered just about a year before we used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment and they have cured him completely of the eczema We use the Cuticura Soap all the time and there Is no better soap for the skin.'

The licenses of all labor agents oper- ating in this city trying to get labor to settle in other places have been can celled, according to an announcement oi President culpepper Exum of the city commission yesterday. That action was taken by MT, Exum following the au- thority given him by the commission as a whole
 In the cancellation one exception has come Up which will be settled by MT Exum perhaps today and that is in ref erence to tho Alabama Interstate Power company t appears that the water com pany possessed a license to take labor to their construction work at Oeampo and that this license was included in the list cancelled.

RECEIVES RULES
 ON PARCELS POST Some Important Directions
 on Use of Service EXPECT STAMPS SOON Ordinary Stamps Can Not Be Used Under Any Circumstances-The
 Rates Are Much Cheaper
 Than Express Rates
EXPECT STAMPS SOON

The first instructions concerning the parcels post law. going into effect Jan uary 1 were received yesterday by Postmaster Truman II. Aldrich.
 It Is expected that the new parcels post special stamps will arrive in few days from the national printing office and be distributed among the various branch postoffices of the Bir- mingham district. preparatory to the opening of the parcels post service, making the United States postoffiee a competitor of the express companies, All articles under Il pounds now shipped by express can be shipped through the postoffiee department at reduced rates after the first of the year.
 From the circular letter pertaining to the new service received by MT. AL drich. the following directions are es- pecially emphasized for the publics benefit
 "All packages sent through the mall must bear a parcel post stamp; ordi- nary stamps will not carry such pack ages and all packages bearing the reg ular stamps will be held for postage.
 Packages cannot be mailed any, where but at the main or branch of- fees of the local postal stations, thus doing away with the custom of leaY- ing articles at mail boxes to be col lected
 'All parcels can be registered or sent by special delivery Just as other classes of mail
 Unless each package bears the re- turn card of the sender 1t will not bc accepted at the office where it is mailed"
 According to MT. Aldrieh if cannot be ascertained at present just how many additional clerks will be- required for the handling of the extra work im- posed on the local postoffice by thls new department. IL will be necessary to purchase wagons and teams to eon- vey the parcels to and from the post offices and to the trains. Branch of fees may be open in the railway sta- tions of the city if the volume of bus mess warrants 1t. This will also be the case with the manufactures, whose patronage of the parcels post system is sufficient for branch station at his plant. thus enabling him to ship direct without delay of forwarding to any of the branch postoffices.
 The new parcels post act eliminates the fourth class rule on mail matter and the parcel rates are to be adjusted by a zone system of distance and by weight. The zones will range From 90 miles to 400 miles and all parcel rates will range accordingly.
 Mir. Aldrich thinks that it is highly probable that after the new parcels post act Is working successfully that packages will be sent through the mail c. o. D.. just as Is done at present by the express companies.

CITY'S LINE OF BATTLE FORMED

FIRE CUTS HE OLD PEOPLES BUILDING
Bremen Have Narrow Es- cape-Damage Will Be
 Several Thousand

The three story brick building at 2S North Eighteenth street, owned by the Southern Bell Telephone company. and formerly occupied by the Peoples Home Telephone company, but now used as storage building by the Bell company was gutted by fire which broke out on the third floor last night about $50 O'CLOCK. The origin of the fire is unknown, as the building was nnoecupied, but the theory is that 1t started from short clr- cult or defective wiring.
 The fire gained such a headway that the firemen were forced to throw large amount of water into the burning build ing. flooding the three stories. It was imnossible 10 make an estimate of the damage last night. but D. F. Turnbull, manager of the Southern Bell company, stated that the insurance would cover the loss.
 The Peoples company moved out of the building about seven months ago, and since that time the Bell company has kept some of their fixtures there. All the fixtures of the old Peoples company also were stored fin the building, and the dam age by fire and water will probably amount to several thousand dollars.
 The Penny Savings bank next door to the burned building was damaged slight ly by water. but the fire was confined to the top floor of the Peoples building.
 The large crowd which gathered to watch the flames was given thrill by fhe narrow escape of three fremen who were fighting the fire from an extension ladder at the front of the building. The ladder was leaning against the northwest corner of the building, and one fireman vas stationed nearly at the top while two others were manning a hose from about the center of the ladder. The wet roofing caused the ladder to. slip, making all three firemen lose their balance The man at the top was thrown to one side, his foot catching fin the rungs of the ladder which bent and slid for some distance across the roof of the building The two men lower down lost their balance, but managed to catch hold of the falling ladder, which was fastened to a large wagon on the street. The hose slipped from the grasp of the men and the stream of water caught the fireman at the top squarely in the back, which although giving him a drenching probably saved his life, as the force pushed him back against the lad der and he caught hold again. With the three men clinging to the ladder men on the street pushed 1t back Into position.
