Broda went at once to her room,
and with eager fingers broke the
seals Of the packet, revealing a legal
looking document and an envelope
with her own name upon It in Olive
Norton's handwriting She drew out
the sheet of paper and read:

sentence. This time the supreme court
reversed the decision on the admission
of testimony which tended to excul-
pate John Body, material witness
against Pope, on whom the defense
tried to fix the murder. Body's testi-
mony was very unusual. Since his ap-
pearance in that trial he has fled to
parts unknown.
Pope was tried again in February
of 1913, convicted and sentenced to
hang. The testimony of John Body
was again an important factor in the
reversal, which was obtained June,
1913. The higher court held that the
testimony which Body gave in a pre-
vious trial contradictory to the evi-
dence of the state should not have
been excluded.
SO it will be seen that trying Erwin

that Calhoun county would go on con-
victing and the supreme court go on
reversing for long time yet, just

PAYING IN POETRY

From the Chicago Record Herald.
It is said that the demand for poetry is
really growing. Several magazines de-
voted to the poetic art have appeared re-
Gently and poets themselves are taking to
the high roads and the high seas with
growing confidence that they can pay their
way in the poetic coin of rhymes and
jingles
Nicholas yachel Lindsay has made his
rhymes for bread" current over consid-
erable stretches of east and west. The
workaday world now has an eye out for
Harry Kemp, who has been trying to do
on the broad Atlantic what his compeer
has done on the plains.
Mr.. Kemps, by rights, should have had
his verses printed In the ships daily
paper or have read them during an even
ing concert in the first cabin. But he
made a msstep at the start by going
aboard a stowaway. The unsympathetic
British captain worked him as a steward
and then jailed him at Southampton We

boldly go up the gangplank as a poet

THE CAMEL
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Much has been made--in comic operas
and alleged minstrel shows-of the ex-
tended ability Of camel to go without a
drink
"Who in the birthstone lake would want
to be a camel?" chortles Eddie Foy with
fine flavor of maudlin satire.
And now somebody has discovered that
of all quadrupeds the camel is the only
one that can't swim. Yet why waste
sympathy? The camel's element is the
sand of the desert The camel is the ship
of the dusty wastes. Besides, the camel
is SO full of water most of the time that
nature feels called upon to eoualize the
imitation.
81 don't object to your camel tanking up
at my water tub" said the cadi to lei
Gear, ''but I'm right here entering a
heavy protest against his kicking in the
staves."
Master" replied the wise one, my
camel is of the royal blood and stichler
for court etiquet. The vessel that is hon.
ored by the attention of a royal camel
must be destroyed SO that 1t can never
be used for drink again"
There was a silence so profound that the
water could be heard gursling in the sixth
stomach of the camel of Ell Gear.
81 am glad" said the cadi. that it is
not the custom of royal camels to drink
from the sea.'

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
As to Homicides.

The most conspicuous fact Of the
police report made public this week by
| Chief George II. Bodeker,7 said prom
inent citizen, "was conspicuous by its
absence. 1t was this. There was no
record of any ARRESTS made on the
charge of murder or manslaughter.
And this despite the fact that in the
period covered by the police report
there were over $50 unlawful killings
or homicides.
TT seems that Coroner Charles l..
Spain was quite correct in his positive
assertions few days ago that not j
per cent of the murderers ever We're
apprehended and punished In Birming-
ham.
should this condition of affairs con-
tinue Birmingham will soon be the
Mecca for all men and women who have
a particular grudge to settle. 1t would
not surprise me in the least that in a
few years if our homicide records con-

me that the general public should be

tions in this city. Think of 1t, lS,oOo

law and he is under oath to give nc
sanction to its violation.
Mayor Thompson has taken high

From the Nashville Banner.
Hon. Oscar Underwood, in announcing
his candidacy for the Senate, says also
he will not again stand for reelection
as representative in Congress. Mr.. I'm
derwood's 20 years service in the House
has been of highly commendable char
acter and he has consummated it by the
passage of the tariff bill that bears his
name and that he was largely instru-
mental in framing.
Without regard to his candidacy for the
Senate his voluntary retirement from the
House is an event of note in national af-
fairs, and unless it means his election to
higher position will be distinct loss
to the country.
Mr. Underwood is man of strong sense
and strict integrity. Such a combination
is rare in the public men of the day, and
itwould be matter of regret if he should
not be continued in Congress.

The Convict Scandal

Governor O'Neal has ordered that
the contracts between the counties of
Mobile and Baldwin and the Huxford-
Orvin Naval Stores company Of Es-
Gambia county for the employment of
convicts be cancelled at once and that
the prisoners be Immediately removed
from the. corporations camp at At

A special commission named by the
governor to investigate charges that
convicts under lease to the turpentine
company have been subjected to cruel
and barbarous treatment has reported
that the allegations are true, and the
prompt action on the part of the exec
utive in ordering the abrogation of the
contract is the result. About 85 pris-
oners are affected. Other convicts
are confined in the camp, but they
are leased by municipalities to the
naval stores company. Governor
O'Neal will recommend that the cities
also rescue their prisoners.
The governor probably acted as
quickly as he could consistently do so,
but the delay in taking these unfor-
tunate prisoners from their inhuman
taskmasters is hard to excuse. For
months reports have been current that
the prisoners in the care of the Hux-
ford-Orvin company were being con-
stantly beaten, driven to work at the
point of guns, and threatened with
death if they revealed the horrible con-

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Women imagine that men do not pay
close attention to feminine styles, But
they do. Most men couldn't tell you what
their wives had on the last time they
took them out, but they can describe
every wrinkle and crease in the dress
some other woman was wearing.
When a fellow announces his engage
ment to a girl, every girl he has ever
been introduced to takes it as personal
snub.
Society is an awful bluff. You used to
make mud pies with the daughter of the
man who used to sift the ashes for your
folks. But the man who used to sift the
ashes stumbled into a fortune, and you
are still working for living. Therefore
the daughter of the man who used to sifi
the ashes for your folks realizes that she
cannot invite you to any of the social
functions at her home because you are
not in her set and a social gulf separates
you.
Lots of men who get muskrat salaries
have wives who have sealskin IDEAS
Why is it that there is no way of cook

We are all foolish when we stop to lool
around and think it over. A girl witt
pretty little pink ears will cover then

And a man whose wings keep him from
getting his hat down on his head gets his
hair clipped so they will look bigger thar
