GETS
IN The CALABOOSE
Lester Manly Young White Man
Charged With Stealing and
Carrying Pistol.

Charged with carrying an unlawful
pistol and with petit larceny. to wit,
stealing pistol. young white man
named Lester Manly, a bridegroom of
but day. was arrested last night and
confined in a cell at the nolice sta
tion.
1t is alleged that Manly stole the
pistol from a relative, but Manly as
sorts that the son of his relative
gave him the weapon to keep so that
the threats OF the older man to take
his pistol and shoot someone would
be broken up. The police claim they
got the pistol off Manly's person, SO
there is not much explanation the
prisoner can make of that circum-
stance.
Manly was married last night to n
young girl who he says originally
came from Piedmont. The man
states that he came here some two
weeks ago from Hart County, Ga. -,
and that the girl to whom he was mar
ried Friday night. cane here about
the same time.

FINE LEGAL POINT
From the Dallas News.


 The captors of the negro who was lynched at Temple last week have filed their claims for two of the three rewards that had been offered for his arrest. The one they have abstained from claiming was that of $200 offered by the sheriff of Bell county pro fessional courtesy" being the explana- ton. The two rewards claimed are one of 5000 offered by the Grimes family and the other of $500 offered by the governor. These claims suggest an interesting legal question, and one which we imagine will find its way into the attorney generals query box. Since, though the criminal was ar rested, he was not delivered to the law, were the conditions of the offer satis- fled? Whatever may be the answer it seems to us that the law ought to be made to read. if 1t does not already. that the captors of criminals shall for felt any claim to reward they have if they allow the criminal to fall into the hands of mob. It may be observed Iarenthetically. that most offers of re wards, stipulate arrest and convic- tion," and in this case there wss no conviction.

Make Laws Effective

Last winter, the legislature enacted new child labor laws, and provided that their enforcement should become a duty of Dr. William H. Oates, state prison inspector.
 Last week, Dr. Oates candidly stated that unless his force was increased, he could not give that attention to the child labor laws which they deserve.
 It is reasonable to suppose that the legislature in enacting child labor laws was serious in it's efforts to ameliorate conditions and bring about improve ments admitted to be necessary. It is, therefore, the duty of the legisla- ture to provide machinery in that the laws might be made effective.
 Those members who oppose increas- ing office forces and expenses in the various departments of government should, in this instance, where the welfare of the unfortunate child is at stake, make an exception.
 The Age-Herald expects the legis- lature in this matter to act promptly.

Welding and Expanding

The Seaboard Air Lines announce ment of a comprehensive financial plan which will mean a great saving in interest rates and at the same time provide money for the expansion of the system is of the highest signifi- canoe.
 As was stated in The -Herald's report of the Seaboard directors meet ing, held in Baltimore, the plan, pro- posed and worked out by Chairman S. Davies Warfield, will simplify the if nancial side of the system and per init the fullest development of the property. The company will execute a mortgage authorizing $300,000, ,000 bond issue, of which about 25,000,- 900 will be issued shortly. Chair man Warfield has already negotiated for the sale of $22, 1893, ,OO0 bonds, thus making his plans effective at once.
 The refinancing of the Seaboard will be followed by new construction work and general welding together of the component parts of the line. A road will be built without delay from Charleston to Savannah-S5 miles and it is understood that within the next few weeks the Seaboard will place contracts for millions of dollars worth of rolling stock and other equipment Its rail orders, it may be assumed, will come to the Tennessee company.
 Recently the Wall Street Journal printed conspicuously an experts analysis of the Seaboard's earning record, in which the exceptionally strong strategic position of the line was stressed In that article it was intimated that the Seaboard was about to take a very important lead in de- velopment and it was suggested that it's competitors "get busy' if they would keep abreast of modern prog. ress in the transportation business oi 1 the south.
 The Seaboard's far-reaching an lnouncement is but another evidence o1 the fact that the promised era o1 prosperity has arrived Six months ago, or even three months ago, MT Warfield's financial plan could no have been executed The Seaboar' could not have started new construc ton. Today big undertakings re curing capital are comparativel, easy. Confidence has been restore' and before the end of the year vas capital will be pouring into the south

More Inquiry for Real Estate

Notwithstanding the industrial activity in and around Birmingham and the im- provement in business generally, the real estate market remains comparatively quiet" said George c. Whatley. "It is a fact, however, that there is more inquiry for realty now than there was month ago That is a good sign, of course.
 Birmingham Is certainly entering upon a new era of prosperity. Even the least optimistic citizen admits that times are getting better month by month, while many prominent business men are confi- dent in their predictions that this district will soon witness the greatest boom in it's history.
 With the future as bright a s it is. there is sure to be lively speculative demand for realty within short while. When the real estate market does become active again, lot of people will feel like kick ing themselves for not getting invest ments before prices started up''

of Eden, which had been forbidden him. For punishment he was cursed with il health and died comparatively early instead of living to be 60,000 years old as his ancestors did.
 The Sumerian tablet in the unlver- sity museum is reputed to be nearly 5000 years old and was inscribed be- fore the days of Abraham, which is going back a considerable distance in the worlds history. Professor Lang don thinks the biblical account of man. kinds fall is version of the ancient story of Noah, passing his assump- tion on the fact that the tablet is 1000 years older than Genesis. Ac- cording to the Sumerian and Baby lonian accounts, the flood took place about 35,000 years B. c. The period between the creation and the flood is fixed at something like 32,000 years. After which came Noah, the Hateful cassia tree and temptation. The ere ator of all inhabitants, says the tab- let, was a woman, Nintu. The only human being she could save when the flood came was Tagtug, the Sumerian Noah, for whom she built ship.
 It is fascinating work, no doubt, to delve in the dim and distant past, particularly when one savant's the ories are as credible as another's, and while the blame for mans present plight may never be fixed to the satis- faction of all concerned, there is no gainsaying that he fell and fell hard, and the present war in Europe is the most convincing proof that could be offered.

CANCER PREVENTION

From tne CnlcdS0 Journal.
 Vermont has gone on strike against cancer. She has the highest death rate from this disease of any state in the union-111.7 deaths per 100000 population per year. The average cancer death rate for the registration area of the United States is 79 per 100000, and that of North Carolina and Kentucky Is only 4s. Clear ly the doctors of Vermont have reason to make concerted effort to see whether their states bad pre-eminence in this malignant disease cannot be reduced.
 It can, If vermonters will listen to sound advice. There are two ways to lower the cancer death rate. One is to prevent cancer and the other is to catch it early and get rid of it by radical operation
 Cancer comes from persistent irrita ent in the disease no one knows, but this factor is essential. The sore throat or tongue of men who smoke to excess lump in the breast In women and ulcer of the stomach in both sexes are some of the frequent preludes to cancer. If every such sore. lump or ulcer had prompt. intelligent medical and surgical attention, there would be fewer cases of malignant disease.
 Even after cancer is established it car be cured by a radical, thoroughgoina operation. Delay Is not merely danger ous, it is deadly. The death rate from untreated cancer is exactly 100 per cent If every cancer patient would seek opera. tive relief when he first begins to sus. pect something wrong, the death rats from this cause probably would be les. than 20 per cent.

Prospect. Most Favorable

There has been of late noticeable im- provement in business conditions In the Birmingham district" remarked Robert W. Ewing. 'and prospects are now most favorable. "A feeling of confidence is in evidence among business men of the city, and collections are, 1t is said, becoming much better The reopening of the Jeffer- son County bank has naturally placed much money in circulation, and this. of course, flows through the regular chan nels of trade. Many pay rolls have re- gently been enlarged and the volume of money to be finding It's way into circula- tion In this manner will do much toward the improvement of of living conditions and of business affairs"

Prosperity In FuII Swim.

Within the past few months there has been very marked improvement in busl- ness conditions in the south and especially in the Birmingham district" said Capt. E. J. Dunn of Dunn & Lallande, construc- ton contractors.
 Prosperity seems to be in full swing in most every section of the country and We are fast feeling it here.
 The Seaboard Air Lines announcement published In The Age-Herald is of far reaching significance, It is now able to raise all the money 1t needs for expansion and it looks good indeed to see it start Ing new construction-a line from Charles ton to Savannah, S5 miles.
 T am expecting to see several roads traversing the south busy with construc- ton work in the near future."

HuCI< FINN IN LIFE
the Louisville Herald.

From the Louisville Herald.
 From the exchanges, we read that Huckleberry Finn is still alive, man 99 years Of age, but hale and hearty, with eyes almost as bright and sparkling as those of the seapegrace youngster who has made his name byword in mill lions of homes.
 B. F. Finn, the 'Huck' of blessed mem- ory, has been a character along the Me- Kenzie river in Lane county, Oregon, for the past 46 years. Many are his stories of the Mississippi, those steam boat days spent with Tom Sawyer and Mark Twain. He tells of the great boat race in which Samuel L. Clemens him self acted as pilot, the story as 1t really occurred. He recalls the incidents of his life, which sc graphically have been de- scrlbed by his boyhood friend-those hap py hours in Hannibal, Mo.
 There is no reason to doubt the truth of this claim to fame. It was the felicity of Mark Twain to transport almost bodily his friends and associates from life into the pages of his books. The story is often told how he went to Washington, a penniless young man with the manu- script of "Innocents Abroad in his pocket; how he was picked up by Sena- tor Stewart of Nevada, and made his private secretary; how later he lampooned his benefactor by making him the proto- type of one of the characters In "Pudd' h. head Wilson" and then--a lifelong enmity between the two men.
 Harlequin must make his jests. Wit Is rarely kind. None is too high or too low to escape its shafts. It was Clemens himself who said that for this reason a jokesmith was barred from heaven. Ii was the tragedy of his life that he dis liked the calling that made him great. But to return to Huck Finn. For all time he will be the typical American boy Perhaps he represents the young bar barian of every age and every cline. His antics and pranks have taken us back to our own youthful days and we cannot help but love him.
 Mark Twain "Huck," with "Gil Bias and Tom Jones', will live forever. We can only hope for health and happiness to ba the lot of MT Finn.

BUTTERMILK AND BACTERIA

From the Journal of the American Medi-
 cal Association.
 The popularity of huttermilk as food and beverage Is attested by it's wide spread sale Any drink which can suc- ceed in invading the precincts of the sa- loon and compete for sale as buttermilk now does, side by side with alcoholic bev- erages deserves attention. The plan of allowing milk to undergo fermentation of such a character that the products are not unpleasant or unwholesome for human consumption, yet serve as pre-, servatives to prevent undesirable types of decomposition, is not new The fermenta- tion product chiefly depended on in such cases Is tactic acic, although, in certain types, alcoholic fermentation may also be in evidence. Buttermilk belongs to the acid type; it usually contains from o.e to os per cent of acid. Strictly speak ing, buttermilk Is a by-product of butter making; but with the development of the milk industries. the demand for butter milk has frequently been met by fer menting thes skim separator milk which remains as by-product of the cream trade. The fermented product is not literally buttermilk, but it may be in- distnguishable from the latter in com- position and properties. The use of these fermented milk products hassbeen favored not alone for their intrinsic food value, but also for accessory reasons. The spe- cific fermentation products have been reputed to have a 'tonic" action in the digestive tract. Special virtues have
 
 teria, particularly in relation to putrefao- tive changes in the alimentary tract Aside from any alleged therapeutic vir- tues, there can be no doubt of the nu- trient value of the beverages. With the growing attention devoted to the bacteria which milk may harbor. and the recog
 nition of the dangers which they may en- tail, it is not strange that buttermilk also should demand bacteriologic con- | sideraton. Heinemann of the department | of bacteriology and hygiene at the Uni- versity of Chicago has demonstrated that
 the presence of tactic acid in milk will destroy the germs of dysentery, typhoid. diphtheria and cholera. The slower milk sours. the greater is the danger of dis ease germs surviving. Acids other than tactic acid are frequently present in but termilk. This beverage, Heinemann re- minds us, should therefore be looked on with suspicion. especially if heavily pol
 luted, unless it has been prepared from
 pasteurized milk. There is. however, d | remnant of satisfaction to all lovers of
 the fermented product to learn that the
 chances of buttermilk becoming car
 rier of infection are small.

Putting It on Noah

Dr. Stephen Langdon, professor of Assyriology in Oxford university, has been studying an ancient Sumerian tablet in the University of Pennsyl- sania museum and now makes the startling announcement that it wasn't Adam and Eve who fell, but old Noah. All these ages, it appears, the world has been placing the blame for its woes on our first parents, when, as a matter of fact, the guilty person was an early navigator of considerable fame Noah, says Dr. Langdon, ate some fruit of the cassia in the Garden
