Admission, Ala, oct. 2S.--Prepara-
lions are rapidly being completed here
for the sixth trial on the charge of
murder, OF Erwin Pope, colored man,
who is charged with having killed j.
r. McClurNin. a prominent planter Of
oxford, near Anniston in April, 1909.
Pope was tried FIVE times and every
time he was found guilty and SEN
fenced to be hanged yet. even the
sight Of the gallows erected for his
execution il the rear of the county
Jail, could not shake the fearless con-
tidence OF the prisoner that he would
not be hanged and that his innocence
would be proved in the end. From the
very beginning Pope has asserted his
innocence and has adhered to this as-
sertion in the face of the most merlin
mating circumstantial evidence Tech
meal ilaws IN the ruling of the court
enabled Pope's lawyer to obtain new
trial in every case, but Pope, with the
childlike simplicity of the typical
southern negro ascribed his success
in escaping the gallows not to his
lawyers ability and to errors of the
court. but TO the rabbits foot he car

BOOTJACK IS A
MUSEUM CURIO
Once Popular Household Necss.
sity RELOCATED to Ash Heap

With the passing of the boot, the
bootjack has also passed into oblivion
ana today the sight of bootjack is
almost unheard of, unless, perhaps, in
the homes OF some OF the old timers
where it is still retained more as a
Keepsake than Tor its usefulness.
In 1880, it is said, there We're at least
1000, 900 boootjacks in the country. Ten
years later the article had Increased To
100000 and By 1860 the bootjack fam
lily had grown TO Go,v00, 900. Basing
statistics Oh the fact that / 200, 900 boot
wcarcrs in the meantime had, begun
the practice Of removing their footgear
by an application of one toe to the
heel OF the other foot, thereby dimin-
Ishins the bootJack demand, it is prob
able that the ratio OF Increase was not
maintained through the decade ending
IN 1870.
Once in Great DemanI
1t Is reasonable 10 assume, however.
that about that time there were l.
100000 families In the United States
who had this then useful article count.
~ s''"Nho NiA'si WI wy bpehfE1ADlHa
That period Is said 10 be the hl,h wa
ter mark in bootjack his. )ry. Viii,
az that time boys, girls, men and Of
ten women wore boots, shoes were
coming more and more in favor. While
the shoe today was not made until
more recent times, the leg OF the boot
was materially shortened as time went
on until the shoe was perfected In
spite Of this fact, it Is claimed that
hootjacks were strongly in evidence as
late as 1880 Since then what has be-
come of them?
In the palmy days OF tho bootiack
This article was almost as necessary
IN the household as the family cook
stove. 1t was far more essential than
tho hatrac1 or even a closet hook, rs
male members OF family ordinarily
were content 10 throw their .ats or
coats in the most convenient place
when coming into the house. But as
for the bootjack that had to nave its
regular place.
Bootiack Necessity
The husband, father or brother
would shrink from the thought OF la
Doriousiy pulling the, footgear off by
Rand on even by l,oEing his foot
through the run-s Of chair. I'd make
tho bootjack more attractive to Tie
men Of the family the wife or mother
often covered the article with Brussels
carpet 10 match the floor. Brass head
cd tacks were also used TO form the
initlals Of the owner of the bootjack,
adding to it's appearance In cases
where bcotjacks were presented as
wedding Sits they were. aften lIaan
painted.
All these facte are we'll known but
where is the bootjack? All those 10
100000 have disappeared Occasionally
one is found in some antique SHOP
hut one hardly would recognize them.
In the museum, where one goes in
search Of curios, a bootjack is ne 'er
