 Today was payday for the athletes, and now that the boys have received their money up to date the manage ment thought it would be a good chance to clean house. Until a month ago the Mechanics looked as good as any team in the league, but they nave fallen away off in their playing late ly. Nothing but a complete shakeup will help and Manager McCann real izes that

MERCHANT WAS NOT
 FLEECED IN CHICAGO

Clanton, March 25.-(Special.)-The sen- sational story being printed In the state papers and elsewhere in reference to the losing of d large sum of money in Chi cago by a prominent Clanton merchant is branded by the merchant whose name appears so conspicuously in the headlines as being absolutely false from start to finish
 The story with big headlines relates that Evans A. Pinkard, a prominent mer- chant, while on a visit to Chicago some days since was swindled out of s5000 by confidence men, who induced him to bet on the races. II is true that MT. Pinkard was in Chicago at the time mentioned, but that he lost q single penny to any confidence men or upon the races he states is absolutely false. In fact he never attended the races and cannot imagine where anyone got foundation for such an amazing story.
 MT Pinkard returned to Clanton from Chicago early Sunday morning and when shown the report laughed heartily, think ing it was joke that was being per- petrated upon him by his home friends.
 Just who originated the report or upon what founda ton they rested their story he is at a loss to understand

LAUDERDALE, MISS,
 REPUBLICANS SPLIT

Meridian, Miss. March 25.-tSpecial.)- The republicans of this county are split in half, one faction being for Taft and the other for Roosevelt. Both factions will send delegates to the district con vention to be held at Newton Wednes- day, when delegates to the state con vention to be held at Jackson on Thurs day will be selected.
 The Newton district convention prom ises to be one in which there will be considerable fireworks. Both factions will fight tooth and toe-nal for the majority of delegates to the state convention. The majority of white republicans of this county favor the renomination of Taft. The rank and file of negro republicans have placed themselves in the Rough Rider column and are going to cap- ture the delegation if there is the least chance of doing it.
 The Newton meeting is going to de- velop considerable interest looking at the situation from this distance.

HosU to Make Better Cough Jyrup than You Can Buy A Family Supply, Saving $2 and Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup-as much ns you could buy for S2:5o.can easily be made at home. You will find nothing that takes hold of an obstinate cough more quickly, usually ending It insi de ot 24 hours. Excellent, too. for croup, whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma, hoarseness and other throat troubles.
 Mix one pint of granulsted sugar with 1h pint of warm water, and stir Tor minutes. Put 2h ounces of Pinex thfty cents worth in pint bottle, then add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours.
 This is just laxative enough to help cure A cough. Also stimulates the appe- tite, which is usually upset by a cougl. The taste is pleasant.
 The effect of pine and sugar syrup on the infamed membranes is well known. Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and all the natural healing pine clements. Other prepara- tions will not work i'll this formula.
 The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is now used by thousands of houtewiyes throughout the United States and Can ada. The plan has been imitattd, but the old successful formula has never been e1ualed.

FRANCE TERROR|zED
 BY AUTO BANDITS Kill Chauffeur on Public
 Highway of Paris FOUR ARE KILLED
Police Evidently Helpless to Cope With Bandits-Feature of Series of Crimes Is Their Swiftness.
 Criticise Police Head

Paris. March 25.-Automobile bandits
 who in February terrorized many dis tricts of France by extraordinary crimes have perpetrated during the past few days a fresh series of outrages which reached it's climax today in murder on
 the public highway between Vile Neuve, St Georges and Paris. Four bandits who | occupied an automobile ordered the ehauf- | feur of a car to stop. When the chauffeur I of the private car refused the highway man shot him dead and wounded the cars l occupant.
 | After throwing the corpse of the ehauf- feur into a ditch the bandits drove to- ward Paris. Public opinion is greatly
 aroused by the audacious attacks near the capital. The bandits in the mean while are employing most daring tactics. The police received a sheet of paper on which were stamped what was purported to be copies of their finger prints, These were naturally fictitious, but it was de- clared that the bandits will soon visit police headquarters and shoot several of the officials.
 It was believed the automobile bandits had been captured on February 29 when two anarchists were arrested at Pontolse after attempting to kill d wealthy law yer and rob his residence, but these evi- dently were only part of the gang at
 most. In February the bandits shot down and robbed a manufacturer in broad daylight in the streets. They Killed a policeman in front of st. Lazare terml- nal, shooting him through the window of their car.
 The shocks were the last of series Of the bandits whose operations have terror lzed the capital and it's environs for the last month.
 After a hold-up and murder between here and Vile Neuye, St. Georges, the bandits appeared at chantilly. They "n- tered a bank there, shot the cashier and another employe dead, and dangerously shot a third from Swatow. China. They escaped with 5000 in notes. After the Chantilly hold-up, which had been engi- neered with much care, the bandits, mum bering six, jumped into waiting taXi- cab and escaped into Paris. No trace was first found of them, but later clues were found in a suburb where they aban- doned the car.
 Apparently the police are powerless against this organza ton and a certain section of the press is beginning to crit icise Louis I.e Pine. the prefect of police, who is charged with allowing his admin istration to get out of date.
 The feature of today's series of crimes is the startling rapidity with which they were committed. An automobile vas stolen by the bandits as it was passing through the historical forest of Senart about 25 miles from Paris, at S:15 o'clock this morning. From that place 1t was traced to Paris and Chantilly, where it arrived at 10:30. It's occupants had stormed the bank at Chantlly, g miles to the mort theast of Paris, returned to the suburb of Asnieres with the spells and escaped by 11:3O, after which all trace Of them was lost.

A Question of Seeing

From the New York Tribune.
 Lady Gregory was discussing, in an interview in New York, her Irish Play CTS and their Irish plays.
 Some people, it is evident she said, don't like our plays. Others. again. think that the plays of John M. Synge and w. E. Yeats are works of art beautiful works of art. It Is a matter of eyesight.
 ''It Is like the two gentlemen on the American liner who fell into conver- sation. one complained about the mon otony of his home, at Kilkee, In Coun- ty Clare. But the other. knowing the wondrous beauty of Kllkee, with the wild Atlantic surges beating on its rugged coast with sublime grandeur, said:
