 DIE FEBRUARY 19.

Montgomery, January 7.-(Specia1.)- Murderers of Alabama against whom the law has directed capital punish ment as an expiation of their crime. will no longer have cause to dread the weekly arrivals of Fridays. Nor will they any longer welcome the arrival of Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Hereafter they will really and truly live on Sun days. for on that day alone will they be freed from fears of the hangman's rope
 Through long series of years the the state. have been accustomed to fix Ing Friday for execution days. But custom with the supreme court of the state is not king. Now comes down a decree in which a certain Monday in February is set aside for the execution of the criminal. and the criminal named Is J. Lawrence Odom of Mobile who IS sentenced to the Gulf City gallows Feb ruary 19.
 Application for rehearing of inc case has not been made by Odom's attorneys, several decrees having been handed down both in the lower and up- per courts ordering his execution for the murder of several in the Gulf City several months ago. The only stayin 2 power that can resist the order is ac- ton Of Governor Emmet O'Neal. who will probably be importuned in behalf Of the man, who, it is alleged, is crazy.

Anniston, January 7.-tSpeclaD.-ooihe interesting sdeights on the present sltua- ton in China are being furnished by Dr' T. W. Ayers, formerly a well kho"h physician and newspaper publisher oi this city, now in, charge of the Warren Memorial hospital at Hwang-hien, shan tung, North China, and his daughter and son-in-law, MT. and Mrs. N. H. Pitt man, the latter having been formerly con nected with the University of Tennessee, his home being at Knoxville Since go- ing to China he has been connected with a government school at Pao-ting- flu, the capital of Chihli province, whence he has been forced to flee.
 Hwang-hien, where Dr. Ayres is locat- ed, is city of about 100000 population and a county seat It has not yet been made scene of war, he writes, but four ishing rebel society has been formed and most of the people seem inclined to sym pathize with the revolution. At recent meeting of the rebels they adopted reso- lutions declaring their friendliness toward the work of Dr. Ayres and offering him ample protection in the. event of trouble. His home and hospital are now being guarded by special police from the man darin. who likewise visited him in person

to pledge protection. During the Boxer uprising Yuan Shi kai then governor of Shantung, took similar measures to pro- tect foreigners.
 The war has greatly drained the na- tion's finances and the unsettled condi- tions have brought about widespread financial depression, writes Dr. Ayres This has been felt in Hwans -hien through the failure of the l.. W. Singtai X Co. bank at Chefoo. through which all North China foreigners secured their money. It has also proved impracticable to get money from the big Shanghi- -Hongkong banking corporation at Shanghai, one of the largest financial institutions in the empire. Dr. Ayres states that wealthy Chinese friends, realizing his embarrass- ment, voluntarily came to his rescue with enough money to enable him to carry on his work temporarily, but that the outlook was by no means encouraging. A com plieation resulting from the failure of the Chefoo bank was the fact that Sing-tai controlled the largest department store at that place, and had for years acted as the sole agent for foreign foodstuffs in North China, sending out daily courers to all parts of the territory within reach of Cheefoo with the result that the failure of his bank brought about the consequent failure of his store; and foreigners who did not have boxes coming from abroad were caused genuine distress by the food panic which resulted.

Negro Educator Appeals to the Members of His
 Own Race
Q the Editor of The Age-Herald. :.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Through your paper l wish to call at tention to the men of my own race to the frightful loss of life, and serious wound ing and maiming of human beings that grows out of the habit of carrying con cealed weapons. No one can read the daily papers, giving account of the crimes and accidents growing out of the shootings during the Christmas holidays, without being impressed with the fearful and use less loss of life and limb resulting from the habit of carrying concealed weapons.
 During the Christmas week, a rough calculation shows that in Alabama there were 2s persons killed and about the same number of persons, seriously or fatally wounded.
 Taking for granted that an equal num- Der were killed and wounded in the re- maining 12 southern states, and l think this is a conservative estiQate. we have total of about 300 persons killed and an equal number wounded during Christ mas week. O
 Of course, I realize that all of the shoot ing was not done by colored people, but the majority of the crimes or accidents relate to the members of my own race.
 My object in writing is to appeal to the masses of our people through minis ters, teachers and other leaders to give up once for all the habit of carrying con cealed weapons. It is a subject that should be taken up in the pulpit, in the Sunday school, in the home and contin- ually agitated until every member of our race who is now in the habit of carrying concealed weapons will feel ashamed to do so During all the years that I have lived in Alabama l have never carried a concealed weapon l have never kept one in my house, and have never felt the need of one. l have traveld through all parts of the south by night and by day and have never felt that I have been in the least danger, and if I had I am quite sure l would not have been protected by reason of carrying pistol. Where gun or pistol keeps person out of trouble one time, nine times it gets him in trt uhle. Besides, carrvfng concealed weapons not only does not protect life, but carrying concealed weapons is a coarse and vulgar habit. There is no reason why q person in a civilized like the United States should get in the habit of going around in the com munity loaded and burdened with piece of iron in the form of pistol or gun
 If this subject is taken up at once and discussed and agitated throughout the south by our people. l am sure that with in a few years at least the colored people will cease carrying weapons, and there will not be so great loss of life and limb as is now true.

COTTON EXCHANGE
 OPENS TUESDAY
Anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans Will Be
 Observed Today

New Orleans, January 7.-The New Or leans cotton market will not open until Tuesday morning this week, Monday be- ing the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. Necessarily the opening of the market will be influenced by what takes place in the other two large cotton mar kets Monday, and they will probably be influenced by the news from the Lanca- shire mills. If the lockout is ended the tent, although the bears argue that as the declaration of the lockout did not put prices down, the calling off of it ought not to put prices up
 At the end of last week the bulls had succeeded in forcing prices up to a com paratively high level The campaign for higher prices has aroused no little curi- oslty as to the ultimate object of those back of it and this week the trade will start to figuring on just how high such large crop as was raised this season can be put. The stand of the bears prob ably will be that the bulls are really try ing to bring about a better hedging basis and probably part of their efforts will be directed toward preventing the bulls from acquiring following such as would allow them to relieve themselves of at least part Of thelr load of contracts. Thus far the accusation that .&e bulls were not sincere in their efforts has prevented many traders with bullish inclnatons from taking to the long side.
 Il may be that the bulls will receive little assistance from statistics this week. Last week the visible supply showed an increase, while the same week last year and the year before showed de- creases: stocks at the 20 counted interior towns in the cotton belt however, lost about 5000 bales. losing for the first time since the present crop began to move in volume. It may be that this week the into sight will be small enough and the out of sight large enough to cause a shrlnkage in the visible supply. This might have the effect of increasing the spot demand
 Tuesday morning the census bureau will issue a report on the ginning of cotton up to the first of January. It is generally expected that the figures will be large enough to make 1t certain that the gov ernment has underestimated the crop and to confirm all but the very largest pri- vate crop estimates This may balance any bullish news from Lancashire.

THOMAS SLEPT IN Sl0,OOO SILVER BED Former Banker Will Have to Live on $10,0O0 if Cred
 itors Carry Point

New York, January 7.-(Special.) )-Ed-
 ward Russell Thomas, the former banker and turfman. and automobile racer who
 four years ago slept in a NO,OOo silver
 bed at the St. Regis hotel and indulged in other luxuries involving an expenditure of about S10o0o0 year, will have to worry along on s1Hooos D year if shis creditors succeed in d motion that was filed today in the supreme court.
 Acting in behalf of the italian American Trust company, which has a claim of sS3,- Sl2 against Thomas, the trustees who were appointed to take charge of Thomas affairs when he failed for about $S,O0O,- GOO after the 1907 panic, have applied for an injunction to restrain the executors or the estate of Gen. Samuel Thomas, father of E. R. Thomas, from paying E. R. Thomas more than $l0,0O0 year rom ms Sl60 GOO annual income. It Is proposed that the rest of the income shall be paid to creditors of Thomas.
 If the action succeeds other creditors will ask that the surplus income be de- voted to their judgments. On Thursday Hast Thomas filed in the supreme court Ia confession of judgment for s1,234, Rl.
 After the failure it was proposed that
  for the use of himself and his wife and devote the remainder of his income to |the payment of his creditors. Thomas ob- |iected to this on the ground that he had been used to paying s40,0o0 year for a |suite of three rooms in his hotel, sleeping lin a silver bed, breathing sterilized air land bathing in filtered water He said he paid tailors about $10,000 a year to dress himself and his wife, and had to pay |s15OOp annuity to a relative, and S15,000 |year for life insurance. He arranged to |draw $50,000 a year of his income and turn the rest over to the trustees to liquidate |his debts.
 Thomas and his wife have lived abroad |for nearly two years. He is now in Paris. |Since an automobile accident in 1908. when lone of his limbs was injured, he has been |going around in d specially constructed |autonobile that he can drive with the use |of only one foot.
 When he failed financially four years |ago the executions against his property |vere returned unsatisfied. He had nothing |except the income from a trust fund. Since that time the court of appeals has decided |that trust funds are not immune from |exeeutions.
