WHITE IS FOUND
BADLY INJURED
Laying on Railroad Track
on Avenue E and Twenty
Second Street

A white man giving his name as j. A.
White was. found last night about 1:45
o'clock at Avenue E and Twenty-second
street, on the Birmingham Belt railroad
tracks with his head severely bruised.
He was at once rushed to the Hillman
hospital in Shaw's ambulance where he
lapsed into an unconscious state. At a
late hour last night he was still uncon-
scious, but the hospital authorities say
that he is not fatally injured.
According to Motorcycle Scout Brent,
who answered the call, the man was lying
ON the tracks. To the repeated questions
of Officer Brent he finally said his name
was j. A White. but became uncon-
scious before he could give his address.
The police are puzzled as TO the cause
of the mans injuries. not knowing wheth-
er he was struck by a train or whether
he was assaulted.

This is the most unusual notation APP
nearing on the blotter at the Ensley po-
lice station one day last week. Inquiry
revealed that Detectives Virgins and
Granger had been assigned to the hercu-
lean task of solving the greatest mystery
since Sherlock Holmes unraveled the
tangled skein of the Sign of the -Four.
Each of the detectives hastily grabbed
a dictaphone and started out to trail the
perpetrator of the crime They have been
hustling ever since and have led an Age
Herald reporter "a merry chase. Playing
Or. Watson to two modern detectives is
no cinch. The cause of the unprecedent-
ed activity on the part of the Ensley
sleuths is found in the fact that DIR. Fon-
vile offered a. reward of one half the
melon for it's recover and the apprehen-
sion of the robbers.
While the authorities at the police sta
tion dealt only in generalities, DR. Fon-
Vile talked very freely when interviewed
yesterday afternoon. He was very much
incensed over the loss of the valuable
property. and stated that the melon was
a most unusually luscious and tempting
vegetable weighing about IS pounds and
cost him the enormous sum of 55 cents.
While the doctor does not particularly
mind the price, he says he will be glad
when the tariff on watermelons is re-
moved and that particular necessity of
life placed on the free list.
Said the doctor:
while | have the best detectives to
be found employed on the case, their
efforts have availed but little. and l pro-
pose to take affairs into my own hands
very soon. Suspicion points very strongly
to the fact that an organized band of
apaches are involved in the affair. The
leader of the band | believe to be Judge
j. 7. Lowry, whose official capacity is
supposed to place him above suspicion.
"One of the strongest points against
the judge is the fact that he was vio-
lently i'll the morning following the dis
appearance of the melon. Owing to the
fact that Judge Lowry could not possibly
have made away with the goods without
assistance even though he had enough
to make him sick. / suspect Drs. CASTOR,
Gray and McTyiere of completely in the

Prattville, May 31.-tSpecial.)-The 10 or

1t is pleasant in these times to hear
of occurrences that show the better
side OF human nature. 1t is not worth
while to hate any one. Life is too short

that woman played you false, or some
friend forsaken you? Let it all pass.
What difference viii it make to you In

undiscovered country. All who treat
you wrong will be more sorry for it
than You in your deepest grief. q few
more smiles, few more tears, some

Thirteen Good Reasons

A y ritter of more than ordinary abii
ity, gives bakers dozen OF reasons
why he should buy at home instead of
p'aciug his patronage elsewhere. While
apparently directed against the mail
order houses, they apply equally as
well TO that class of individuals who
are so long on bargains and SO short on
civic pride. that they place their orders
in another city. TO the disadvantage of
the present and future prosperity of
their own. Here they are:
Because my interests are here.
Because the community that is good
enough for me to live in is good enough
for me to buy in.
Because believe in transacting bus
ness with my friends.
Because want to get what buy
when pay for it.
because my home dealer carries me
when ! run short,
Because every dollar spend at home
stays at home and works for the wei
fare OF my town.
Because the man buy from stands
back of the goods.
Because l sell what produce here
at home.
Because the man | buy from pays
his part of the county, city and state
taxes.
Because the man I buy from gives
value received always.
Because when i'll luck, misfortune or
bereavement comes, the man L buy
from is here with the kindly greeting.
his words of cheer, and his pocket book
if need be.

is tempted during the other seasons of
the year to take walk after supper
and 10 spend his evenings away from

thar temptation greatly lessened by
the suow and cold Of winter. The
spirit OF family life is greatly increased
