DAMAGING EVIDENCE
AGAINST VAND|VER
LOwndes COnstables Says
Defendant Offered Him
S100 to Kill Rowan

Montgomery. March 29.-(Special. Her
Lowndes county, testified in the criminal
court Saturday night that Henry f. Van
diver, for many years prominent busi-
ness man of Montgomery, offered to pay
him 500 if he would kill Sloan Rowan
The testimony was given shortly after
C. Walter Jones, condemned to death for
his part in the Rowan murder, had sworn
that Vandiver had betrayed his friend
ship and attempted to railroad him to
prison. HrobowslSi was on the witness
stand only a few minutes. He said he
came to Montgomery few days before
the killing of Sloan Rowan at the union
station July is, 1912, and that Vandiver
made the offer while they were buggy
riding. II told him that he wanted me
TO allow myself to be hanged for $780,
said the witness, "but he declared that
he would stand by me and see that 1 was
freed" I asked him how he would do it.
His reply was: Why, I am on the
governors staff"
Hrobowsllis story was not shaken by
cross-examination.
Hrobowskis testimony is the third dam
aging statement that has been made in
the trial. The first was the story told
by c. Walter Jones, who will be hanged
next Friday for killing Rowan. and the
second was a telegram from vandiver
to Jones after Rowan was killed in which
Jones was assured that he still had Van
divers friendship and that everything
would come out all right.

LOCUST DELL"
ny MARY INGE HosKINs

The town of Florence. Ala, has always
teen the SYNONYM of culture and refine
ment-it has been an educational centre
from its foundation-this naturally en-
tails many points of historic interest, in
and near the town.
The fact that Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz
cnce lived, moved and had her being un-
der the druid-like oaks that populate the
town and form a procession down Wood
avenue, the most arlstocratic street in
Florence, and that right here In the heart
of the town, she gathered inspiration for
some of her choice romances, is a fact
not generally known.
In 1924 N NJ. Hentz and Miss Caroline
Whiting were married. At that time
Mr. Hentz was associated with George
ing a seminary in North Hampton. Mass.
In 1884 they moved to Florence and pur-
chased property suitable for boarding
school and called it Locust DELL" from
the trees that surrounded the place. A
land without ruins is a land without mem-
ories-and Florence has it's ruins

clothed in the high flown language OF
the day and hour, would never have chal-
lenged our admiration. While periods
may affect style of diction, yet the pure
and the good are unchanging and these
abound in all Mrs. Hentz's writings and
found expression in the lives of our
mothers, and our own lives. through
them.
In the light of newer surroundings and
an antithieal trend of thought we take

the Long Moss Spring. and look at the
very titles with an indulgent smile-we
smooth down the well-worn pages, worn
by hands that are now folded and still
well read by those who sleep under the
whispering pines in some forgotten grave
yard. We reverently turn the leaves, we
see the face of Mrs. Hentz on the front
page. sweet face, like some old cameo
worn by our mothers. We cannot stif1e
the sigh that rises to our lips, for these
books are somehow linked to hallowed
past-we gently place them back on the
shelf-for they were placed there years
and years ago by our mothers. in the
far-away days of their youth. They are
revered today for the sake of the good
old days ''befo' de wah' and they reflect
truthfully the time when woman was the
uncrowned queen in the home, with royal
prerogatives Prerogatives that are never
assumed in these days of rush and hurry
when every man must hit the pace for
the mighty dollar and keep it up as long
as life lasts. We have no time to read
them, they are relics of the past, we show
them to our children during the reninis-
cent days, when memory thrusts out the
present, and welcomes the past.

WEATHERLY LOSES
WATER WORKS CASE


tuted in the circuit court by Mr.. Wealth
erly, who sought to vitiate the franchise
of the waterworks company, alleging vio-
lation of the contract, and were brought
by him as a private individual and not in
the name of the city commission. The
petition filed in court alleged that the
waterworl<s company had violated the
condition of their franchise and alleged
among other things that the company
was supplying impure water.
The decision of Judge Crow virtually
disposes of the case SO far as the lower
courts are concerned, but an appeal will
probably be taken to the present term of
the supreme court. Should an appeal be
taken, this being a preferred case it
will be argued before the supreme court
the last week in April.
Counsel for Mr.. Weatherly were Capt.
Romaine Boyd, nj. NJ. Ullman and George
Huddleston. For the waterworks COM
