Would Be Private Sleuth.
There's man down in Ada, o., who
has funny idea about detectives and
their work. He has just written a
letter to Gov. Cox in which he con-
fidently imparts the information that
he has just completed course" in
detective work, and asks how he may
proceed to get a "license" to prac-
tlce as a private sleuth. At the Cap
ital here, 1t has not been generally
known that courses of study are be-
'ng given in detective work, ard the
idea of licensing the product or such
course has merit.

Many Miners Meet Death

Acton, Ala, Nov. Is. Nine
miners are known to have been
killed and at least dozen others
were still missing at a late hour
tonight as the result of an explo-
sion this afternoon in the Alaba-
ma Fuel & Iron company's mine
No. 2, near here. s
Five men had been taken out of
the mine alive by rescue crews
up to 11:30 O'Clock tonight. At
that hour nine officials expressed
the belief that the death total
would not exceed ID, although es-
Inmates of TIE number of missing
varied at from II to 80. 1t s
stated that Dc men, the majority
of them white, went into tn.
workings early today, but there
was no means tonight of ascer-
tanning the number who had left
before the explosion occurred.
Experienced miners expressed
the belief that many of those still
entombed had been killed by the
force of the explosion.
The explosion is believed to
have been caused by ignition of
dust, set off by miners shot.
Rescue work was undertaken
in Systematic manner. The new
Federal automobile ambulance
made quick run of thirty four
miles from Birmingham, arriving
here simultaneously with the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron company's
rescue car, dispatched by special
train. The mine fan, which was
not damaged by the blast, was
set in motion at once, so as to re-
store the air and enable the res
cuers to work freely.
Those in charge of the rescue
work hope to penetrate the mass
of rock and coal Jared Loose bv
the explosion before morning.
The mine was comparatively
new and was said by officials to
have been provided with modern
equipment throughout.

From a GOOd=ROad Enthusiast

Mr.. w. c. Bumgardner, Of
Big Springs, is an ardent believ-
er in good roads and sends the
Chronicle the following articles
from adjoining county papers:
AT last we are to have an OPP
portunity to vote for bonds for
the purpose of making solid, per-
manent highways. 1t was neces-
sary to hold the special election
this year, otherwise we would
have been obliged to wait until
the general election next Nov
ember, as the law will not per-
NIT a special election to be held
in the same year in which a gen
eral election occurs. SO petit
ton was circulated last week and
eagerly signed by all of those to
whom it was presented. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that at
least nine tenths of the voters of
the district would have signed
the petition. Elsewhere in the
Oracle will be found a notice of
the election and the manner in
which the money arising from
the sale of the proposed $50, 900
bonds is to be used. 1t will be
seen that the work is to be done
under the supervision of the
State authorities, men who are
not in any way entangled in local
matters and who will go right
ahead in the right way to con-
struct good roads without favor
itism.
Every one Of the main roads
leading out of the city is to be
made permanent, and that means
that all parts Of the country be
benefited alike from the action
of Washington district.

Pat One Over on Deputy

Clarksburg, Nov. 10. Dora
Cabins was acquitted Monday
evening in Justice T. G.. Nice
warmers court on a charge of aid
ing her sister, Mrs. Aubra Pars-
ley, to escape from Clarence E.
Stout, deputy sheriff, when the
officer attempted to arrest Mrs.
Parsley at Wilsonburg.
Mrs. Parsley is sister of the
notorium Bud" Price, the cherk
forGer now in the penitentiary,
and she was arrested with him
not long ago on check-forging
charges. She was released from
Jail under bond, but her bonds
man surrendered her and the
deputy went TO take her back to
Jail. According to the evidence
in the case before Justice Nice
warner, the sister of the woman
engaged the deputy in converse
ton, during which Mrs. Parsley
made her escape through a back
door. 1t was held by the court
that the conversation was not an
aid to the woman's escape, as
the deputy was not compelled to
stay and listen to it.
Mrs. Parsley was apprehended
later at lamp black factory,
where her husband was employ
ed, by the deputy and he took
her to Jail.
