praise from the patrons of the Office.
He has been eager at all times to intro
duce new features for the benefit of
the public, and many improvements to
the service have been made during his
incumbency. The postoffice has been
rearranged so as to provide every con-
venience and facility, the force of
clerks and carriers has been increased
and brought to high degree of eff
ficiency. the free delivery service has
been extended and measures are under
way for securing additional carriers
and instituting rural delivery system
for the outlying district. The amount
of business handled at Hancock post
Office is very large and each year sees
a notable Increase. Mr. Rogers has
the confidence of the entire community
and has won general praise for his
entitled to re-appointment for another
four years and as the appointment is
one that will be made during Congress
man Young's term, it is likely that he
will be continued. No better or more
capable postmaster could be named, and
many Democrats as well as Republicans,
have expressed the opinion that under
the circumstance no appointment could
be made that would be more satisfact-
ory or pleasing to the people of
Hancock.

 Imprisoned

Rawlins. Wyo., October 2.-Details of the lynching of Frank wigfall. the negro as- sailant of Mrs. Esther, Granny Higgins, known as the "Prisoner's Friend'' by the oonvicts of the state penitentiary here to. day while Sheriff Mills at the county jail was holding off party of would-be citi- zen lynchers, may never be known.
 The sinister threat, the first man who squeals is the next man hung" silenced annined by a coroner's jury today. The jury gave up the task late this after noon without learning anything.
 Wigfall was placed in the county jail late yesterday for safe keeping after his capture at Fort Steele. When the mob surged about the jail early this morning, the sheriff probably saved the prisoner s fife by slipping him out unseen and rush. ing him to the penitentiary near by. Wig fall was placed in a cell which soon after prisoners, marching to breakfast, had to pass. As they filed by the negro made sighting remarks of his crime.
 Many of the prisoners remembered acts of kindness of Granny Higgins and the negros remarks brought their anger to a pitch that soon resulted. in his death.
 With the mob of citizens at the jail still clamoring for the negro, about 100 of the prisoners broke loose Immediately after breakfast and made a dash for the negro who also had been taken to breakfast. The guard was overpowered before he could thrust the negro into a cell and

MUSICAL NOTES

It is said that few more season tickets for the Sunday afternoon musicales must be sold before the fund reaches last sea sons total. These musicales were started by Mrs. Truman Aldrich. Jr., two years ago. She arranged them and managed them. Music lovers of Birmingham were enabled to hear at little cost some of the finest artists in the country. The com mittee in charge of the series of 1912-13 will 1t Is said, offer high class attractions similar to those secured by Mrs. Aldrich. The first musicale will be given in No vember.
 The Russian trio, which gave great de- light to a discriminating Birmingham audience last season, will be heard here again this season. The trio is composed of three brothers-the Messrs. Bernstein violin, piano and cello.
 The Russian Symphony orchestra, which is one of the most popular sym phony organizations in this country and one noted for the sincerity of it's work, will make a southern tour early in the coming spring and will probably give one or two concerts in Birmingham.
 Professor Alfonso D'Agostino. a violin artist of high rank. arrived here yester- day to accept the position of violin in struetor in the Birmingham Musical in stitute, of which Philip Menoi is princi- pal. He enjoys the reputation Of being yan exceptionally fine solost, and will be heard in a recital shortly. He received his musical education in the Royal Con servatory at Naples and was, for a time, %0certr1eister of one of the large orches- tras in Italy He is said to have had great success in teaching in female col leges in this country.

 Independent Loan
