Joe and Victor GraffO in Se- riOus COnditiOn-FOlsOm Captured-Impudent to

Joe and Victor Griffo, Greek merchants at Twelfth avenue and Twenty-fourth

 wounded last night at 6 o'clock by negro
 thought to be Ernest Folsom. Joe Graf fo was wounded in the side and the bullet Is thought to have penetrated his liver.
 Victor was shot In the arm and thigh.
 Both men were removed to McAdory's in- frmary.

He had a Smith & Wesson revolver of 32 calibre, with four empty shells In it at the time he was arrested. The bullets which wounded the Graffos corresponded with those found in the negro's gun. The trouble is said to have grown out of Folsom speaking impudently to Mrs
 Cochran. customer in the store at the time of the shooting. It seems that the
 negro had purchased some milk from the
 grocery, and as he started out of the store he carelessly josted Mrs. Cochran As he did so some of the milk was spilled upon her dress. Joe Graffo spoke to the negro about being more careful. Mrs Cochran remonstrated with him. and the negro answered her with an oath. Ht then drew pistol and commenced to fire The first two bullets took effect in Joe Graffo's side then the negro Is said to have deliberately pointed the revolver at Victor Graffo and shot him twice in the thigh and arm.

 officer Williams said.
 We have undoubtedly got the negro who did the shooting. We found him about two blocks from the scene of the shoot ing hiding under house. We took him by surprise, or l believe we might have had trouble in capturing him. He had
 a pistol of the same calbre which shot the
 Graffos in his possession and four of the
 bullets had been fired. He could not ex-
 plain his being under the house, and said
 that he had run out of his house with his
 gun. and that the empty shells had been in the revolver for sometime. He appeared excited. and could not talk intelligently"

 The scenery from Salter's Bluff along the Warrior river, down to lock IT, is said to be among the most beautiful In the country and has been compared by Senator J. H. Bankhead to the natural scenery along the famous Hudson river valley of New York state. A great many people intend to make the excursion as a pleasure trip and it is indicated that many ladies will be in the crowd, as special arrangements are being made for them.
 President George Rutledge of the Bes- semer Commercial club has advised the Birmingham chamber officials that the plan of that organization to operate an excursion to the lock had been abandoned and that the Bessemer party, composed of about 100 people, would accompany the Birmingham people

Sweeping Sanitary Regulations

Sweeping sanitary rules governing

preparing tentative rules which it
is thought will be adopted without
any important notifications.
No barber having any form of
skin disease will be allowed to work
at the trade and no skin skin disease
victim will be permitted to get
shaved in barber shop. BARRIERS
will be required to Thoroughly cean
their razors and other utensils after

planes are used on more than one

FOOD SHORTAGE
CAUSES A PANIC.
All Over Norway and Sweden
and Unprecedented High
Prices Are Demanded.

cHRIsT1AN1A, Norway, Sept. 81.
Something very close to panic
Is spreading over both Norway and
Sweden, as result of the alarm
ing scarcity of provisions and the
unprecedented prices which are de-
manded for the simplest kind OF
food. Norway Is now on the point
Of following Sweden's lead in pro-
hibiting the export Of all provisions
of which there is a present shortage.
in order that prices may be brought
down within reach OF the poorest
classes.
The advance In prices In Norway
is approximately the same as IN
Sweden, but in some cases 1t has
been even more marked. Herring
which is one Of the main articles Of
diet among the peasant population.
rave risen from two cents to four
and a half and five cents apiece, and
the present price Of oatmeal is $50
per cent higher than It was before
the war.
The meat shortage was temporar-
lily relieved some time ago, as it was
in Sweden, by the slaughter Of a
large number Of cattle. which there
was not enough grain to feed. but
prices have now advanced again.
reaching the highest level ever
known in Norway. It is curious
paradox. however, that as nation,
Norway's economic and financial con
dition is better than before the war.
Norway's tremendous exports, at the
same time that they have drained
the country of its necessary proyi-
sions for home consumption and car
ried masses Of the people to the
verge of starvation. have brought a
tremendous amount OF money into
the country, enabled the country to
pay for all its IMPORTS. and left a
large surplus to be used for indus
trial purposes and public loans.
The Bank Of Norway-the govern
ment's bank-had year ago twenty
million dollars of gold in its vaults.
Today 1t has forty million. A year
ago 1t had issued paper money to
the extent Of FIVE and half million
beyond its deposits. while today with
the same amount Of paper currency
in circulations it has reserve Of
three million dollars.
| Deposits in private banks are at
present thirty million dollars greater
than a year ago on the same date.
These banks had to their credit In
foreign banks 500, 90O0 last year.
This year they have ten million. The
war has thus brought Norway flood
tide Of prosperity, and If government
action Is taken to reduce present
prices and provide the poorer people
with food. Norway will have little to
lose and great deal to gain from a
long war.
Norway's friendship for England
and the fact that she has had less to
complain Of in the restriction OF i'm
ports than Sweden, have made her
trade question a much less serious
one than in her sister country. Her
chief grievance against England re-
mains the English censorship of her
mail and cablegrams to America and
other neutral countries. Norway is
still trying to devise more direct
and speedier communication with
America.
