as regards the quality of optical

ticians. We quote from page 30:
Glass barely good enough for table

"If our importers themselves We're
scientific opticians the general de-
cline in the quality of lenses would
have been prevented. They would
have found it to their interest to al
ways keep a stock of good lenses on
hand, even if they had to provide
themselves for the trade at large, for
jewelers. and peddlers with imita'
tons"
AT present it is impossible to find
the genuine lenses made from real
optical glass"
Prof. Mayne Arnold imports genu-
inc Brazilian Pebble" and real "op-
tical Glass" lenses TO benefit his pa
irons eyes.
"sohne's Hand Book" has this to
say of pebbles, page SO:
THE genuine article has two strik-
ing advantages over glass which can
not be denied; its brilliancy and its
hardness" Again regarding
pebbles, page 81: Its hardness and
clearness surpasses any glass ever
offered TO take its place, its dispers.
ing power is the lowest OF all lenses
manufactured for optical purposes.
Pebbles are particularly fitted
TO correct cases of presbyopia told

because the eyes subjected to these
deficiencies are benefited by the in.

CHARGED TODALLAS
COUNTY WHITE MEN
Negress Claims That Hus-
band Was Beaten to Death
by Whites-Tells HOr-
rible Story

Montgomery, January Especial. y
Charging that her husband, Charlie
Gibson, was hog-tied and beaten to
death by white men December 20, Alice
Carson, Dallas county negress, came
to- District Attorney Warren S. Reese
today and pleaded for protection, stat
ing that she feared she would be killed
II she returned to her home. The
womans story brought visions Of bru-
tanty outrivaling that practiced by bar
barians in the jungles of Africa and
was one of horror from beginning to
end She declared that five white men
went to Carson's home on the night of
December 20, ordered him to open the
door, entered, dragged Carson from his
bed, beat and mutilated him until he
died, threw the body into an impro-
vised coffin made from a cabbage crate
and buried the body in a quickly dug
grave, the blows being interspersed
with kicks which broke the ribs and
caused them to pierce through the
body. 1t was alleged that the men re-
fused to allow relatives of Carson to
bury the body, preferring to complete
their work by seeing the remains
placed in the ground.
District Attorney Reese is unable to
take action in the case as Dallas
county is not in the central district
but he will attempt to have the Dallas
county grand jury bring indictments
for murder against the men who are
charged with the crime. The names
are in the hands of the federal officials.

The story of Wright's daring crime
throughout this county is familiar to
most people. On the night of August
20 last, the store of John Siniard, at

berry was discovered by the local tele-
graph operator who summoned a posse
of citizens In an effort to capture the
robber In the fusilade which followed

nooga. His arrest was attempted by
Thomas Horn, James Murphy and his
brother, farmers living in the neighbor-
hood of Sigsbee, on Lookout noun
tain, bIt Wright shot James Murphy
causing his death, and injured his
brother. Wright received a wound in
his right arm which later caused its
amputation.
He escaped his captors and fed into
Cheokee county and was captured at
jamestown by two men and brought to
DeKalb county jail.
A special grand jury was convened
by Judge Haralson and Wrights in
dictment for murder in the first degree
followed.
During the morning hours, prior to
his execution, he passed his time in
prayer and song with his co1ored ad-
v1sors and friends. From the window
of the third story Of the Jail he i'd

him and he was ready to go and ad-

He was placed on the scaffold at 9:30,
the black cap and moose adjusted by
Sheriff Harris. The drop fell al 9:40
and he was pronounced dead by Drs.
Quinn, Haralson and Warren at $3.50.
Upon the gallows he manifested con-
siderable courage. He walked mas
