The Shale City brick manufacturing

the workmen how many of them would
continue to work at the same wages
and not a sufficient number consented
to justify a continuation of the run

May Stop CigaTet SaIe--Cigar stores
where cigarets are being sold are said
TO be the next victims of the state Of
ficers who have been working in this
vicinity for the past few months.
Since the selling or buying Of cigarets
is against the law in Iowa, the men
plan to cOnfscate all the cigarets in
Davenport and Scott county. This in
formation was disclosed yesterday by
one of the men interested in the state S
work. and is considered authentic. \
number of the state officers have re
turned to Davenport stealthily and
are busy getting evidence against a
number of the most prominent cigar
stores in the city. When seen, the
state men refused to talk. They did
not deny that they are planning RAIDS
on cigar stores, but they refused to
deny or affirm the fact that the raids
have been set for Friday. A number
of search warrants will be issued to-
day or tomorrow morning, 1t is un-
derstOod, and the raids will be sprung
with the same suddenness which char
acterized the recent raids on Scott
county's alleged saloons.

Ed Fisher, q farmer residing near
Pomeroy. north of Joy, was killed al
most instantly yesterday morning by
one Of two runaway teams which he
tried to stop. Mr.. Fisher and two
other farmers, each driving a team,
were returning from Joy, when the
others stopped at the POmerOy church
to get a drink, leaving their teams
standing. Mr.. Fisher was driving
down the road when the other two
teams became frightened and came
running at break-neck speed in the
same direction in which Mr.. Fisher
was driving. The latter, giving the
lines to his son, who was with him,
Jumped from his wagon in an attempt
to stop the runaway teams. Stepping
out in front of the horses he succeeded
frf steering one of them into hedge
fence and stopping them, but just as
he had done this the second team
struck him square, knocking him fiat.
He was carried to the nearest shade
tree but was dead before he arrived
there. The physician who was called
stated that from the manner in which
the mans chest was crushed the
tongue of the wagon must have struck
him. Mr.. Fisher leaves a wife and two
children.

PRACTICAL RACE PRIDE.
coosa County (AIa.) Folks Contribute
to Washington Memorial Fund.

coosa County (AIa.) Folks Contribute
to Washington Memorial Fund.
In a faraway district Of Alabama.
twelve miles from a railroad, there Is
situated little school which found its
beginning first in the hearts Of some
of Coosa county's patriotic wuite and
colored citizens and which under most
trying difficulties has blossomed into a
little community. an oasis of civiliza-
ton, as 1t were, in desert of igno-
ening throbs which come from educa-
ton and purpcseful toll.
The Coosa County Training school.
of which Robert w. Taylor is princi-
pal, is the center Of activity In this
model community. and from this school
there radiate encouragement and an
awakening pride of race which are
molding strong sentiment for prog
ress and advancement.
But Coosa county is not unlike other
counties Of the south, for it depends
almost wholly upon the production of
its farms for its existence. and then
there be lean years, and there be fat
years" And 1915 was very "lean"
with the colored people OF CoOsa coun-
ty, and they have suffered much and
been deprived of much. But they are
stout hearted and hopeful and have yet
to show the first evidence of falter-
ing faith In the ultimate achievement
Of their ideals.
hn to. fho
campaign for the Booker T. Washing
ton memorial fund was issued the peo-
pie of Coosa county were among the
first to reply that they would spare
nothing in doing their part to perpet-
unte the work founded by DIR. Wash
ington and in helping to erect n suita-
BILE memorial in his honor on the
grounds of Tuskegee institute. The
story of their great love. of their great
loyalty and of their great sacrifice to
participate in this expression from the
race is best reflected In the following
letter from Mr.. Taylor:
81 take pleasure in sending you here
with my check for $3.50 as contribu-
ton from the children OF the Coosa
County Training school to the Booker
T. Washington memorial fund. A
large part of this contribution repre-
sents the sale from eggs donated by
children who were too poor to give
anything In cash.
The spirit Of the widows mite was
never better exemplified than in this
instance of the Coosa county school
children's contribution to the memorial
fund. This same spirit should spread
throughout the south among the school
children and encourage them to con
tribute freely.
