George H. Utter, accompanied by
his wife, was in town the first of the
week, en- route from Silver City to
Steeplerock, in his Overland car. Mr..
Utter has become quite expert as a
driver, having learned how to start
the car. He is pushing work at Stee-
plerock, his first work being the max
ing Of a road, the old roads being
washed out, and filed with rocks. He
has got the road into a passable con-
dition, fitted up the house, shipped
In furniture, brought his wife, and is
preparing to be comfortable. He has
commenced work on the Summit
group, and when he gets thatin work
able shape will start on the Jim Crow,
and finally will have all the mines in
running shape, and turning out ore
for shipment.

Pink Edwards has a large flock Of
sheep near Santa Rita. Last week
they came up to drink, He has a
drinking tank which is supplied from
a big tank into which the water is
pumped from a we'll, by a windmill.
Mrs. Edwards noticed one of the sheep
fall over and die after drinking, and
soon others fell and died. She con-
cluded something was wrong with the
water and drove the rest Of the sheep
away from the tank, but before she
had done this 1923 of the sheep we're
dead, none Of them getting 100 feet
from the drinking tank. 1t was
found that cyanide had been dumped
into the tank. Sheriff McGrath has
been working in the case. 1t is pref
ty certain who did this, but the
trouble is to get the evidence to con
vict him. He should serve about 1913
years in the penitentiary.

Lordsburg was shocked Saturday
morning to hear Of the death Of E. G..
Hughes, the manager Of the Water,
Ice & Electric Co. Friday afternoon
Mr.. Hughes went down to the COM
pany's well, to adjust the motor,
which had not been running smooth
ly, leaving word at the power house
to turn on the electricity at four
o'clock. The electricity was turned
on at ten minutes after four. MI.
Hughes did not return to the power
house that evening, but nothing was
thought Of that, as his duties took
him to Sc many places. Saturday
morning when he did not show up at
the plant, and could not be got on
the phone Engineer Barley became
alarmed, and sem a man down to the
we'll, to investigate, and there found
his dead body. OF curse nobody
knows what happened, but from the
appearances 1t would seem that after
the electricity was turned on the mo-
tor did not work to suit Mr.. Hughes,
and concluded to cut the wires, rather
than walk back to the plant to shut
it off. He had stood on a board, to
insulate himself from the ground,
cut one wire safely. He then cut the
second wire and probably the falling
end Of the wire struck his left arm
while his wire cutter was still con-
nected with the other end, and he
got the full current, 1920 volts
through his body. He was burned
from the left elbow across the chest
and all the right arm. Death must
have been instantaneous. The body
was embalmed, and sent to his wife,
at Carthage, Illinois. E. c. Hughes
was about 80 years Of age. He came
here a few months ago from MINES
ota, with the best Of letters, showing
him to be a first class man In his pro-
fession, and took charge Of the cleo
trio plant. He worked at It faith
fully and had just got 1t In condition
it paid expenses. He was popular
In town, and made friends with every
one. He was very popular, although
holding a position where there were
many complaints, but the complaints
were few under his management, and
he always satisfied the complainers.
His death was a distinct loss to the
town, and especially so to the electric
company, for it will be hard TO find a
who can fill his place in all ways.
AS one citizen said: 1.-THE cleo
trio company lost two good men when
Hughes died" Little is known of his
early life here, but he leaves a wife
and two children to mourn his un-
timely death.

w. L. Ritter had occasion to 60 to
Silver City, the county seat, on bus
iness last Saturday, and concluded to
go by rail. He had some experience.
He took the night train, which makes
the closest connection, and is due to
leave here at 4:45 a. m. He set his
alarm clock and got to the depot on
time, only to find the train was a
couple Of hours late, which gave him
time to go back and get breakfast.
He got to Silver City all right, trans
acted his business and returned to
Demlng, where he was to catch the
west bound train at midnight. He
found this train four hours late. He
went to bed at the hotel, got quite a
sleep, and was called about four
o'clock, in time for the train, and got
home in time for breakfast. If the
trains are on time 1t is possible to
make the round trip to Silver City in
81 hours, without a chance to sleep.
If the day trains are used a Lords
burger can 60 to the county seat and
return In one day and seventeen
hours, and get two good nights Of
sleep In Deming. Mr.. Ritter says:
"never again" He will telephone,
or make the trip over the mountains
IN his motor car.

]. P. Mansfield has come to the con-
clusion that he has an enemy who is
not far removed from the original
savages. He has a we'll on the old
Walker place this side Of Stems
where every one and every ones cat
tie have been at liberty to drink.
Some one who probably had a grudge
against Mr.. Mansfield went to the
well and poured sand and rocks down
the pipe until the plungeF rod was
jammed against the casing, and the
pump was out Of commission, thus
depriving the cattle of the water. He
had to pull the pump and casing out,
and when he got the pump out he
found that 1t was ruined, and had to
put in a new pump. Mr.. Mansfield
would be very glad to know who did
this job.

Veterans Object to Method
 ot Pureing Pension Rolls

At a well attended meeting of Camp Wilcox, United Confederate Veterans, held yesterday in the county courthouse, Capt. John G. Smith in the chair, the veterans went on record as being opposed to the dropping of over 100 Confederate pensioners from the rolls of this county. They declare that they are in favor of the nurging of the pension rolls, but ob- ject to the methods employed by the pension commissioned. stating that the investigation should be made in Jefferson county. The statement was made that a majority of the pensioners dropped are the widows of Confederate soldiers whose husbands have been dead sometime, and that 1t is practically impossible for the widows to give any definite information as to the service of their husbands. The veterans propose to seek relief from the next legislature.
 The camp unanimously indorsed Gen. Harvey D. Jones for reelection as major general of the Alabama division of the United Confederate Veterans. Adjutant zell read an original poem, "The Starry Banner of the Free"
 Delegates to the state reunion which will be held in Mobile on October 21, % and 2S. were elected as follows: J. J. smith, George Gorff J. w. Barkley. nob-

PLANNING MERGER
 .0F TWO IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL BODIES
Feagin and Other Prominent Educators Here Yesterday to Discuss Work of the
 State Association

The Southern Educational association and the Conference for Education in tho south will probably amalgamate. and, perintendent of education, who was a Birmingham visitor yesterday, become a great factor for good throughout south ern territory. In the afternoon, Mir Fea- gin left for Raleigh. N. C.. where he will serve as member of merger com
 mttee in an effort to effect the amalga-
 nation.
 "The two organizations" said the su- printendent. have done good work in the past But inasmuch as their efforts
 were directed for the accomplishment of the same ends, there was, of course much
 duplication. With the two amalgamated. education in the south will receive a magnificent boost. l predict that amal- , gamaton will be accomplished, ns every , member of the two organizations Is hop Ing that satisfactory arrangements can be made
 The Southern Educational association was organized in 1890 in Montgomery. MT. Feagin, at one time, was secretary-treas-
 urer of the body. He scored signal success in that work. and on his resig- nation, k. A. Clayton of Birmingham, was chosen secretary-treasurer. Mir. Clayton has forwarded his resignation 1t was learned yesterday, to take effect when the amalgamation of the Southern
 Education association with the Confer
 ence for Education in the south Is
 achieved
 Mir. Feagin yesterday was the center of a group of well known educators who are laboring in various sections of the state, Among the number were Dr. C. c. Thach, president of the Alabama Poly technical institute at Auburn; J. J. Dos ter of the University of Alabama; w. j. Wilingham, president of the normal school located at Florence; W. (.

 session. and discussed the place of next
 meeting of the association, and the ar rangement Of a programme. Montgomery was the winning entry.
 There was a great deal of interest dis played in tho probability of the merger of the two southern educational bodies. and the members expressed themselves as
 delighted in that that end which has long been desired Is about to be achieved.

FARMERS BEHIND DANKREAD'SP PLAN
 SAYS WA. MORRIS
Union Bringing Pressure on the Governor to Get Him to Call Extra
 Session

W. A. Morris. president of the Ala. Dama Farmers union, yesterday sa,,l he would like to have if thoroughl, understood that the farmers of the state are solidly behind Senator Bank head and MT. Harding in their plan Tor relief of the cotton growers.
 We are writing thousands of let ters and doing everything in our pove, to get the governor 10 act and call the Legislature together" he said. "PeonJ. of the cities and towns do not realize the seriousness of the situation. The Farmers and small merchants are fac ing ruin.
 "The banks will not or cannot give them any money on their cotton. What are they to do? They are not going to starve without putting up hard fight
 If the officials of this great state are not willing to provide for it's peo- pie. we have reached pretty pass. The bankers may be advising against so unusual a thing as having the state issue bonds to take half the cotton crou off the market. but it is because they are timid.
 "The farmer is not timid now. He is desperate I have been all over the state within the past 50 days and I tell you there has never been anything like the present situation. Only last week I saw a banker in Talladega offer to lend a farmer $7.50 8 bale on some of the finest cotton you ever saw. What dc you think of that? Not enough to pay for picking it.
 some of the best business men ci Alabama tell us the Bankhead plan Is thoroughly practical and are helping Us to get 1t inaugurated. The farmers !of Alabama will hold meetings in ev- cry county of the state Saturday and on October 21 will meet Tn Montgom cry in state convention. At that time We want to show in such forecful man ner our situation and our confidence In this plan that il will speedily be undertaken. We have invited Senator Bankhead and Governor O'Nea1 both to be present and will hear from other prominent men. 'I hope the people of the state will not underestimate the seriousness o1 purpose of the cotton growers. We have every right to expect our state to help us In such crisis and we are going to call upon her in such a loud voice to do it that she cannot fail tu comprehend"

HARRISON HERE ON
 HIS WAY ID SPEAK AT M0NTEVALL0 TODAY
Walks Over the City and Visits Yards at North Bir- mingham = Business
 Check Temporary

Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern railway, spent yesterday aft ernoon and last night in Birmingham, being en route to Montevallo, where he will address the girls of that school this morning. He will leave Montevallo today and will pass through Birmingham this afternoon en route to Washington.
 MT. Harrison spent yesterday afternoon in his car working, but came downtown late to get bit of fresh air, walking for sometime over the city and then back to the Terminal station. MT. Harrison said in regard to the business conditions that just at this time it was best that not statements be made, as it was diff cult to give out optimistic statement, and there was some hesitation on the part of everyone to give out pessimistic one.
 MT. Harrison, with l.. Sevier, general agent for the executive department, vis- tied North Birmingham, where they looked over the work being done there on the Finley memorial yards. He reterates a former statement that the work there would be continued and that other work in various parts of this section begun be- fore the present period of uncertainty would be carried on without interruption.
 T am naturally very much interested in the south, and I am difficult to con- vince but what this country has glorious future" said Mir. Harrison. q do not believe any cause will be sufficiently strong to more than temporarily check the growth of the south. We are passing our greatest hope on that theory. I be- lieve no country has greater future than America, and I cannot imagine any sec tior with brighter outlook than the south It will come in time, and we will be in the swim sure.
 T regret that the necessity has arisen which has compelled us to reduce the number of trains we operate in this sec tion. However, it was something that was unavoidable. As l have stated we will arrange the service along the best lines possible, and when business reaches that stage again which will justify the South ern railway to do so, we will resume op- erations as at this time."
 MT. Harrison spoke glowingly of the new directors of the Southern, who in- clude Bishop Kilgo, Dr. Aldermann of the University of Virginia and Robert Jemison, Sr., of Birmingham. He said tEat he considered the Southern railway fortunate in acquiring their services and their interest.
 MT. Harrison will be accompanied to Montevallo this morning by several local officials.

TWO MORE ARRESTS
 IN DAVIDSON CASE Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Charles Weaver Each Put
 Under 5000 Bond

Two more arrests were made yesterday in the Albert Davidson case Mrs. David son, widow of the dead man. and Mrs. Charles Weaver. wife of Charles Weaver, now held without bond in the county jail in connection with the case, were put under bond of $100O each.
 The charge against the two women Is that they were accessories to the murder of MT. Davidson. The warrants were sworn out by James L. Davidson, father of the dead man, who also swore out the warrants against Weaver and Harry Eos ter.
 The defendants in the case have re- tained J. Mex. Long as their attorney. and while no formal statement was made yesterday it is understood that all those held in connection with the case deny any knowledge of the murder.
 These make four arrests in connection with the killing which for a long time puzzled the police and sheriff's authori- ties. Harry Foster and Charles Weaver were arrested Thursday night on charge of murder and are being held without bond. The arrests were made on evidence secured by private detectives after the city and county authorities had given up the case.

DAVIES IS CLEARED Jury Also Recommends That Deputy's Commission Be Revoked

"We, the jury. recommend that the commission of MT. A. Jefferson be taken from him as deputy sheriff of Jefferson county" was the additional report of Q petit jury in the criminal court yesterday after acquitting Jim Davies. charged with drunkenness, who had been arrested by the above officer and sent to the criminal court on warrant sworn out by Justice of the Peace George J. lost of Precinct 42.
 Judge S. E. Green. before whom the case was tried. sent for Sheriff McAdory. but he was not in the office. When seen later the sheriff stated that at the re- quest of an official of the county he had appointed Jefferson as special deputy to work out of Justice Jost's court, and that he never had been directly connected with the sheriff's office. and had never worked with or in it. He stated that he was under the impression that he recalled the commission sometime ago. You can can state 1t will be recalled right now" said the sheriff, and he so ordered
