 Now after spending all this time in the prison, through the clemency Of Presi- dent Wilson Spo Pee is to be released and will return to his tribe. and to his dai.g ghter, sMrs. Take Gun.
 Stories of Rip Van Wrinkles and Robin son Crusoes lose interest beside this true story of our own day and time. Awak- ened from a tortuous and horrible night mare of B years, Spo Pee takes up the skein of life where he dropped it third of a century ago, when the white man with an unconscious and bitter irony com- nuted his death sentence to life impris- oi ment-with the insane.
 Spo Pee has probably paid penalty as great as was ever exacted from man. His stoieal Indian nature kept him from going mad, surrounded as he was by madmen from morning till night and till morning again, week in and week out, for B years

BOOST MERRILL
 FOR DIRECTORATE Barbour Bankers Back Can. didate for Director of the
 Sixth District Bank

Eufaula, July 11.-(special) )-Eufaula and Barbour county bankers will make every effort to have Col. A. H. Merrill, president of the East Alabama National bank, of this city named as one of the directors of the sixth district regional bank at Atlanta. He was one of the nominees for Class E, Group 2, at the convention of bankers held several days ago at Montgomery. Colonel Merrill is one of the best known bankers, business men and attorneys In southeast Ala bama, and 1t is believed that he stands an excellent chance of being named to the directorate of the sixth district bank. Col G. l.. Conner of this city vice presi- dent of the Bank of Eufaula, is now president of the Alabama Bankers asso- citation.
 The ladies of St. James Episcopal church are preparing to improve and paint the rectory, which is located next door to the new church on Eufaula street, in antici- patton of the coming of a new rector.
 The Eufaula Rifles are now getting their equipment in shape preparatory to the annual encampment of the Second Alabama infantry, which will be held at Montgomery. They expect to go into camp at Pickett Springs on July 20 and spend week. The military delegation from Eufaula at this encampment will not be as large as in years previous, when the Second regiment band, which was dis banded last fall, was located here.

EMDEN. Destroyed. WAS
PARALLEL OF ALABAMA IN
DAYSOF THE.CONfEDERACY

hve days later had sent two more Brit.
ish vessels to the bottom. Within three
days she had sunk four vessels there.
She was accompanied by the Hamburg
American steamer Markomannia, as a
collier. The Markomannia was sunk
on October 16 off Sumatra by British
cruiser.
Leaving the Bay of Bengal the En-
den sank three British steamers in
the Indian ocean on September IA. On
September 22 she appeared off Madras
and shelled the city, extinguishing her
nights and disappearing when the forts
replied. Then she renewed her activ-
lty In the vicinity of Rangoon where
more British vessels fell prey to her.
Again she disappeared and was not
heard of until she turned up at Pra-
que.
Speed of Vessel Was a Winner
The captain of the steamer Parom
put into Sydney, N. S. w., yesterday
and reported that after the success of
the Emden at Penang she was overtak-
en- by British cruiser, but being a
faster ship was able to escape. Two
store ships accompanying her left be-
hind and the British cruiser captured
one and sank the other.
The Emden was a sister ship of the
Dresden which participated in the nav
al battle off the coast of Chile, Novem-
Der | when the British squadron under
command of Rear Admiral Sir Chris
topher Cradock was defeated.
The Emden had a completent of
361 men. Her armament consisted
of ten Al inch guns, eight five pound
ers and four machine guns. She also
was equipped with two submerged
III inch torpedo tubes. The cruiser
displaced $500 ? tons. She was 2S7
feet long and had beam of 43 1-2
feet.
How German Vessel Came to Grief
The Australian cruiser Sydney car
ries main battery of eight 6-inch
guns against the Emden g ten Al, thus
giving her heavy advantage over the
German ship. While the speed of the
two warships was theoretically equal,
that of the Emden being 245 knots
as against the Sydney's 24.7, the
former probably was foul and her en-
gines badly racked from her three
months of almost constant cruising
in southern waters, chasing and being
chased with no port for reftting or re,
pairs.
The Keeling or Cocos Island are
group in the Indian Ocean belonging
to Great Britain. They are about 500
miles southwest of the western end of
the Island of Java and have cable con
nections.

Brumbaugh has very friendly feeling
