and those WHO make no effort will
find when the final count is made
that the result would have been diff

Leslie w. Henderson died at the
Jennie Stuart Hospital Sunday after
noon at 1870 p. m, of typhoid fever.
In desperate condition he was haf-
en- to the Hospital Wednesday and
on Thursday morning was operated
upon for punctured bowels. His
case was regarded as all but hope
less, but he became more comfOrtable
and by Saturday was thought to-be
decidedly better, with a fighting
chance for life. The fatal turn c1cl-t

He was a member Of the Knights Of

COG WHEEL BREAKS.
 SMASHES INTO THREE HUNTSVILLE STORES

Huntsville, March 5.-(Special)-A cog wheel on windlass in derrick used to holst heavy stones into position in the new Madison county courthouse broke yesterday afternoon and released the enormous weight so suddenly that the Wheel was broken into four pieces and thrown with the force of cannon balls into three stores about 200 feet across the street. That someone was not killed is regarded as almost miraculous
 One piece of the heavy wheel was thrown into the Goldsmith Grosser store through plate glass window and smashed telephone half way down the length of the store Another piece en- tered the Terry Bros store and after passing through three heavy leather suit cases, imbedded itself in a fourth. An other piece broke through the display window of Damson X Abrahams and spoiled fine window display, while the fourth knocked a spoke out of the wheel of buggy in which a woman was seated.
 The stone that caused the wheel to break weighs 5000 pounds and is a section of one of the great fluted stone pillars of the courthouse.

SHOE RETAILERS WILL,
 MEET IN MEMPHIS NEXT

The sixth annual convention of the Southern Shoe Retailers association will be held at Memphis. This was decided after a warm discussion yesterday morn- ing, which was the closing session of the convention. New Orleans was candi- date as was Asheville. N. c. D. Pokorny led the fight for New Orleans and re- ferred to his native city as the New York of the South." Another delegate from the Crescent City used as an argument the famous restaurants of the city on the gulf, but to no avail. Thomas w. Sher- ron placed the claims of Memphis before the conventioh in such a manner that the ballot gave that city a majority It was then decided to make the vote unanimous, which was done. The convention will be held sometime in February or March, the exact date to be selected by the execu- tive committee.
 Tn the afternoon beginning at o'clock the visitors were shown over the Bir- nlingham district. All expressed them selves as being greatly pleased at the hospitality extended them by the local shoe men. and President Curtis took oc- casion to extend the thanks of the asso-

 on the mornings programme was Will jam b. Eaton of Boston, vice president or the Boot and Shoe Recorder. He spoke on the "Nitalizing Influence of Ideas" and stressed the facts that individual interests and organization were the two essentials upon which the association depended At the conclusion of his address MT. Eaton was given a rising vote of thanks and amid applause was elected an honorary member of the organization.
 Another speaker was Gregory E. Stone or Boston, travelling shoe salesman and an associate member of the southern as- sociation. MT. Stone read a paper on Associate Members" which was well re- eeived. He had been snowbound at New York and was delayed 30 hours reaching here.
 All the routine business of the organiZa- ton was completed at the morning ses- sion.
 The luncheon at the Country club was abandoned as the president feared that too much entertainment might set a preee- dent which other cities would perha ps feel compelled to follow The convention closed and the members left, feeling that much good had been accomplished. Prac- tically all the delegates left for their homes last night except President Curtis who will leave today
