Men of positions of Importance are
not free with testimonials of indorse-
ment as a rule, and when they do
speak it is generally because they are
deeply impressed.
We find this is especially SO in mat
tiers pertaining to health.
Men as a rule pass over trifling all
ments, but when they find themselves
seriously i'll they see in a new light
where those dependent upon them
stand.
When. men recover from conditions

r L. Johnston, warden of the peniten-
tiary at wetumpka, while In Birmingham
yesterday gave vivid description of the
terrible tragedy which resulted in the
death OF two white men and negro. the
burning of house and the firing of a
hundred shots In Elmore county last Sun
day. Mr.. Johnston furnished the pur-
suers of the negro murderer with the
dogs of the state. although he himself did
not participate in the man hunt.
1.-THE trouble started stated Mr.. john
ston. when a buggy driven by two ne
groes ran into a buggy driven by the
young daughters of John Chrisitzberg.
The vehicle of the young ladies was dam
aged to such an extent that no further
progress could be made. 1t is said that
the negroes declined to render assistance.
Two young men eventually repaired the
damage. and the young ladies drove on
to Floyd, where they lived. There their
father was informed of what had oc-
CURED and he gave pursuit. The ne
groes, seeing him coming, endeavored to
escape. but when pressed one of them
drew his revolver and shot Mr.. Christie
berg, who died Sunday night.

Fort Payne November 1s-(Special. -
Applicants for the postoffice at this place
are coming out fast. There are already
more to follow.

to indorse him. while John r. Mccartney,
another applicant, is talking primary to
settle the question as to who the people
really want for their postmaster.

for the different woud-be postmasters.
q. L. Malone, who Is the present post
master, is a Taft appointee, and has not
yet served quite a year. leaving him with
commission which does not expire until
March II, 1915. Whether he will be al
lowed to serve his time out or will be
removed for cause Is a question that re-
mains to be settled at a later date. At
any rate. change is not likely to take
place for another year. as naturally 1t
will take some time after President Will
son goes in to get settled down to busi-
ness and to retire postmasters of small
places like Fort Payne.
An investigation was made into the
death of Maggie Wooten, the 14-year-old
daughter of Tom Wooten, which occurred
few days ago at her home at this place.
The report was circulated that her father
had beaten her SO badly that she died
from the effects, but upon investigation
by the coroner and assistant solicitor the
rumor was not justified, although an in
dictment for the father is likely to be
made by the grand jury.
The merchants In town are all busy as
can be selling their fall goods and the
farmers of the surrounding country are
still hauling their cotton to town. AL
though cotton is a little off today, yet the
streets are full of cotton wagons and the
