PERKINS KILLING WILL BE PRObED Governor Orders Investiga- tiOn Into Death of Negro
 in Marion

Montgomery, September 11.-(Special. )- Governor O'Neal has ordered an investi- gation of the alleged killing of Willis Perkins, a negro. in Marion county about two weeks ago by a party of white men who are declared to have murdered the negro for no other reason than "his skin was black"
 The case was called to Governor O'Neais attention by United States Dis trict Attorney O. D. Street of Birming- ham, who sent the executive a commun- ication he had received from C. P. Luns- ford of Hackleburg Marion county, in which the latter gave Mir. Street full account of the alleged killing. and asked that some steps be taken against the per petrators of the crime. Mir. Streets corre- spondent gave the names of the parties whom he declared were guilty of the murder.
 Following the receipt of the letter from Mr. Street. Governor O'Neal immediately wrote to Judge Charles P. Almon of the Eleventh judicial circuit and to R. T. Simpson, solicitor, asking that an imme- diate investigation be made of the report ed murder. The governors anger was aroused at the information of the all legged killing and he declared that he will have a thorough investigation made of the reported murder

TWO INTERESTING WEDDINGS
 TAKE PLACE IN HUNTSVILLE

Tappey. A prayer for the happiness of the couple was said by the Rev. II. M. stevenson. The couple received many handsome presents, among which was a silver service presented them by the en- ployes of the Henderson National bank, where Mir. Adair is teller. The couple left last night for Chattanooga and Atlanta.
 The Chamber of Commerce has made contract with the Merchants Railway Claim agency of New orleans to have the latter concern handle all of the freight claims of the members of the club and also to make a thorough investigation of the freight rates affecting Huntsville with q view of ascertaining whether or not they are as good as the rates of other cities. For a long time past 1t has been the impression among shippers here that Huntsville's freight rates are not as low as they are in other towns of the same size and having competitive railroads. If this is true, steps will be taken at once to bring about a change.
 The Chase Nursery company has decided to subsol 10 acres of land next Saturday with dynamite according to the latest metho.s~. An expert has been engaged for the work and a demonstration will be given for the benefit of the farmers of the county.

LITTLE GOSSIP

Speaking of All-Southern teams, here's the way it looms up at this stage of the game:
 First base, McGilvray.
 Second base, Wares.
 Shortstop. Crandall
 Third base, Almeida.
 Left field. J. Johnston.
 Center field, Welchonce.
 Right field, Stengle.
 Catchers, Angemier, McAllister.
 Pitchers, Aitehison, Smith, Demaree, Boyd, Dygert.
 This team would have a hitting strength Of well over 300 and that's what is wanted most. after all. It would also be unusual ly fast, having number of classy pill ferers, including Jimmy Johnston, who has already smashed all Southern league records to flinders. Behind the bat Ange- nier and McAllister are both excellent hitters and are also steady receivers and peggers. The pitching staff comes near being a big league aggregation with Al Demaree as the star performer. A team composed of the above named Southern league stars would be a tough proposi- ton to deal with in any league.-Nash- vile Banner.
 According to the last averages, Derril Pratt is hitting .29s in the American league, while J Carlisle Smith Is only swatting .27I in the other major league And Pratt, to all appearances, is playing a better game than Smith in the infield. Smiths hitting this year has been CT ratic. During the first two or three weeks he was batting around $50 Then an awful slump came and he went down around .250. Later he was back in the 300 class, and now he is enjoying another little slide down the percentage column. Pratt seems to be the more consistent performer of the two, and will probably finish the season with a better mark Nashville Banner.

Cucumber Pickle

May I give your inquirer what l con slder a very good and easy cucumber pickle recipe? 1t Is in this proportion- but one can use the amount of vinegar she needs: To one gallon of vinegar use one cup of salt. one cup ground mustard. Simply wash the cucumbers and put them into the liquid and cover the crock with a thin cloth to keep out dust and insects
 Nothing else is required to be done to them. They keep, too, and are very good. Could a recipe be huch simpler? Please remember only the thin cloth for cov- ering so they will keep hard. Your querist. I hope, will try it, for I feel sure she will be pleased with the re- suit MARIE P"
