AS We Said Before Our Best
August Sale of Blankets
And Beddings Begins Tomorrow

Another Sale that goes to prove that this is
an exceptional year in Economies for Home
makers.
Ever since this store announced the first
sale of Blankets that was ever held in Brming-
ham in August, people have come to realize that
there is some advantage in buying Blankets at
this time.
It just seemed natural to US. that when
people were taking advantage of the August
Furniture Sales to buy Furniture for their
homes, and taking advantage of the August Sale
of Floor Coverings and Draperes, that they
wanted to go right through with Blankets and
Beddings, too particularly as long as there was
an inducement
So this Store has just dedicated the entire
month of August to furnishing homes, and right
now a whole week earlier than we have ever
held Blanket Sale before, we are beginning
the best one.
If you are the proprietor of Hotel or a
Boarding House, or if you are the Housekeep-
er of Seminary or Boarding School or Hospi-
tai, or if you are the parent of Boy or Girl,
who you are about to outfit before sending off
to Boarding School, or if you are buyer Of Sup
plies for your own Home of course you are in
terested in saving whatever you can on such
staple necessities as Blankets and Beddings
1t isn't so long from August until Blanket time
and even if you are not needing them at once
you can select the Blankets in this Sale, take
advantage of the Special Prices and have the
Blankets stored without cost in our Cedar
Rooms until October 1st, or until you are ready
for them
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-10

We want to emphasize, too the great variety of
Blankets offered in this sale. Plain White Blankets
Gray Blankets, Scarlet Blankets and Scotch Plaid
Blankets There Cotton Blankets Wool and Cotton
Mixed Blankets and All Wool Blankets, and you may de-
pend it that there is less wool in the
Blankets than we say.
There are Blankets for single beds for twin beds and
for double beds Tenquarter Blankets and E1evenquar
ter Blankets, and Twelve-quarter Blankets, and Ten
quarter here go by 80 inches they should and

In Self.DefenSe By W. W. Bar
bee, Whom He At
tackled.
A DESPERATE STRUGGLE
Ben Moss, Negro Slain, A Pow
erful Farm Hand Weighing
29O Pounds.

w. W. Barbee, a prominent farm
er of Thompsonville, shot and killed
Ben Moss, colored cropper, Thurs
day evening about sunset, after
struggle in which he got his weapon
into play just in time to save his
life.
Moss had been disconnected and
troublesome for some time and had
quit feeding the stock, which had
been part of his duties. Mr.. Bar
bee was at the stable feeding when
Moss came to where he was and said
he wanted to use the team for haul
ing corn the next day. Mr.. Barbee
replied: 81 told you would need the
wagon myself tomorrow, to take the
turkeys to town"
At this Moss became enraged and
began cursing Mr.. Barbee and ad-
vanced upon him and seized him by
the left arm while Mr.. Barbee was
attempting to draw his pistol and as
he got the pistol out Moss grabbed
at it and attempted to take it away
from him. The negro weighed 200
pounds and was as ST. ong as an OK.
Mr.. Barbee was pigmy in his hands,
but managed to keep his feet in the
struggle until he was pushed back
over door sill and fell. With the
negro STOPPING over him he got the
weapon into play and fired one shot,
the ball entering his side.
At this point the negro's wife APP
peared and said ben | told you not
to come down here" Mr. Barbee
called to her to take the pistol out of
his hand which she did as Moss be-
gan to grow faint and relaxed his
hold. His wound proved to be NOR
tai and after lingering till 10 o'clock
he died.
Mr.. Barbee te'ephoned to Deputy
Jones, who came to his home and
took charge of him for the night
and came to town with him yester.
day.
Mr.. Barbee waived examination
and executed bond to answer to the
grand jury next March.

Warden Makes Statement.

When the charges were read to
Warden Wells he said:
LET me first make the general as
sertion that it is a monumental false
hood. As to the discipline there is
just one report on my desk tonight
and that for bad work.
1t was the practice when / came
here to hang prisoners on the door
in solitary confinement, and the
present method is no more brutal to
incorrigibles. AS to the emp oy-
ment of my boy, he is II and big.
He worked three days while many
of the guards were home voting in
the primary.

ing about the premises than my pre-

tom to furnish coal for the warden's

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 12.-Friction
in the Frankfort Reformatory which
has been rumored ever since Warden
A. j. G. Wells took charge, cropped
out this afternoon in the filing with
Gov. McCreary of charges against
Wells covering forty-six pages by
former Assistant Deputy Warden R.
L. White, who served in that capac-
ity in the Reformatory under the
former board, but was refused reap
pointment by the present commits
sioners.
Mr.. White charges seriatim that
Warden Wells is conducting board
ing house in the warden's residence,
furnished by the State; that SIS
range was installed in the kitchen at
the expense of the State and that an
ice chest was built in the house with
convict labor and with material furn-
ished by the State, and that the coal
for the house is furnished at the ex-
pense of the State. He also charges
that the warden has three prisoners
working around the house and one
around his stable. He declares that
discipline is bad in the prison.
"The discipline" he said, lis what
the convicts see fit to maintain, due
to the attempt to conduct tho prison
on the so-called Sunday school plan."
He said "the warden details convicts
to pry on guards and inferior officers,
allows his staff of convict SWITCHES to
violate rules with impunity and hu-
initiates guards by permitting con-
victs reported for infractions to brand
them as liars"
Referring to Warden Wells aboli-

Negotiations between the Public

Water Co. and the Planters Bank &
Trust Co., agents for Mrs. Lucy M.
Summers, were brought to a close
Thursday morning by the two COM
panies named taking a lease on
the Cooper building at Main and
Court streets. The building has just
been vacated by Waller & Trice and
the two companies, not considering
their present quarters large enough
with no prospect of permanercy,
began looking about some time since
for another building.
The offices will be located on the
second floor, the rooms now occu-
pied by Drs. Austin Bell; R. F. Nc
Daniel and l. Fierstein to be used.
The basement will be used for stor-
ing the stock and the tools for the
the two companies and the heating
plant. The first floor will be used
for displaying eectric and gas APP

Again Putting Buyers In The
Field A Question Of
Moment.
COLD RETARDS DELIVERIES
Loose Floors Had Large Sales,
Prices All Right
To Start.

There is still such speculation as
to what the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany may do, whether it will keep
its factory here closed, whether it
will buy in this county and ship its
purchases elsewhere or whether it
will send all the tobacco it buys to
GAINESVILLE. Everybody seems to be
in the dark expect the Imperial peo-
pie themselves and they are not tell
ing anything. 1t is a rather signffi-
cant fact that most of the crops in
the southern part of the county, as
reported, was pretty well taken two
or more weeks ago. Informant did
not say the Imperial had beer the
purchaser. If it was the Imperial
that part of the county could deliver
tobacco at GAINESVILLE about as we'll
as here, but what about the balance
of the county, lisa question not easily
answered. The verdict of the jury
at Morganfield is the cause of the
Imperial not having put their buyers
in the field at the usual time. While
they can get along without their usu-
al demand for the Christian County
crop, it is not probable that they
will. Until the higher sustains
or reverses the Morganfeld verdict
there is nothing to keep the company
from getting into the market for its
usual supply.
The offering of about 10000
pounds of the weed on the loose
floors here last Tuesday and about
the same amount Wednesday were a
good indication that whatever the
Imperial people may do, the business
here this year will exceed that of last
year. True the offerings we're COM
posed of low and medium grades,
but prices were in advance of pre-
vious sales and the demand was
stronger. AS to how prices may
rule on all grades cannot be even
guessed at until better grades are
delivered and put on sale.
The cold weather has considerably
retarded deliveries and most tobacco
in the barns before the cold wave
struck this section, last Sunday was
in too high order for bulking. AS
soon as the weather moderates we
may again see considerable activity
in deliveries and consequent heavy
transactions. Following are the
quotations for this week:
Trash, 1925 @ $3.50; Tugs, $3.50
@ 81 90: left, $500 "a $10.50.

And carried to her pen.

And she laid a daily egg,
Which Hennie sold at market price
And no longer had to beg.
