Saturday afternoon at 5:so o'clock the first drop of water flowed over the tor of Dam IT on the Warrior river, signify- Ing that the lake had filled.
 This lock has lift of ss feet and IS the last and largest in the Warrior sys- tenn
 Now that the lake is filled the slack water reaches within 10 miles of Bes- semer. At it's longest point the lake stretches back from the dam for 50 miles, or far above Cordova. The water does not quite reach Toadvine on Val ley creek.
 Coal from Sypsey and Short Creek
 As soon as the lock gates are in- stalled vessels from Mobile can load coal from sipsey and Short Creek mines When the dam was completed wooden gates were put in front of the lock chamber so that the lake could fill and the permanent gates will soon be put into place,
 It is stated the dam itself did not leak a drop of water during the pro- cess of filling.

 T. H. Friel. who has been interested in the water power possibilities of this dam. was greatly pleased last night

WALKER COUNTY
 DEPUTY KILLED Alleged Negro Murderer Es- capes Fully Armed ONE ARREST IS MADE Negro Said to Have Been In Birming- ham During Day-Man Arrested By Kennybrook May Be
 Murderer
ONE ARREST IS MADE

Pat Carter, deputy sheriff, was shot and instantly killed at 1 o'clock yester- day morning at Jasper Walker county, by negro alleged to be Tom Owens. alias Tom Stewart, who escaped.
 Yesterday morning following the shoot ing Sheriff John Gray of Walker county notified all the authorities In nearby cities to watch out for the negro.
 Notification of the murder and escape reached Birmingham at 5:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon. Detectives were inn mediately detailed to search negro house on the Southside, and there the officers were informed that the negro Owens had left the shack at o'clock after having slept all day. The officers were told that the negro was armed with a six-inch barrel pistol and threatened that he would never be taken alive.
 At 8 o'clock last night a long distance telephone message from Flat Top from Deputy Sheriff Dave Kennebrook, stated that he had caught a negro fitting the description of Tom owens. Deputy Kinne- brook stated that the negro denied hav- ing killed Pat Carter but admitted having killed negro at Dora about two years ago. Deputy Kinnebrook will arrive at the county jail with the suspect this morning.
 According to the information regarding the shooting given out by Sheriff John Gray of Walker county it appears that the negroes. attending an entertainment, had grown hilarious, when they were arrested by Deputy Carter. At the time of tho arrest the deputy took away a shotgun and ordered them to enter a cabin In order to thoroughly search them for weapons.
 One of the negroes entered and the other negro jumped on Deputy Carter. In the struggle that followed the negro Owens is alleged to have secured the pistol of Deputy Carter, killing the officer instant ly. Following the killing of the deputy the negro removed the cartridge belt of the dead man and also picking up his shotgun started off for parts unknown.
 Deputy Carter had been a regular officer under Sheriff Gray only for few months He was well known at Jasper, coming originally from Arkansas

Do you want a better job, better salary?
 Lots of men make resolutions about this time of the year to be the hard working, loyal. get-down- early and sweep-out type of salesman. And per- haps it is a good resolution.
 But here's better one-to learn more about the business of all depart ments. and about the principles that underlie all business success
 This is a broad field that will branch out for an ambitious student into all sorts of bypaths such as industrial his l. tory. economies sociology, psychology, public finance. transportation, scien- tific management, etc, but 1t may well start with his present job; namely, salesmanship.

This was done for the reason that any other arrangements would have caused too large crowd.
 New Chapters The statement was made yesterday that at this meeting applications for chapters would be made by at least 15 colleges. Many of them have sent com mittees to Birmingham in the interest or their claims. and a warm fight is expected to be waged in the conven- ton for many chapters. The commit tees that are here are proceeding along very dignified lines and 1t is believed that when the convention is over quite few additional chapters will have been granted.

 The Newspaper club, the Southern club, the Country club and the Roebuck Golf club are all open to the visitors with official badges. No cards are necessary to any of the clubs.
