 FROM PARALYSIS
Numbered His Friends by Thousands and They Referred to Him as
 "Rcoter" Brown

Jesse Wilson Brown. aged 4e years, known to hundreds of his friends as "Rooter'' Brown, died from a stroke of paralysis at 1 o'clock yesterday morning at his late residence, 1231 Twenty-sixth street, north. The remains will be sent to Tuscaloosa at 10:30 o'clock this morn ing by Lige Loy.

UNIQUE PLAN TO OPEN THE

dealing with tuberculosis, but there are no funds at the disposal of that commits slon' except as supplied by the Anti Tuberculosis league and obtained by the sale of Red Cross seals. It was the gov- ernors approval and appointment which created that commission It is most fit- ting. therefore that he should be the first governor of this state personally to lead the people in supplying what the treasury of the state has been unable to supply and that he should do 1t In this generous manner.
 Furthermore, on Thanksgiving day brawn and brain are in competition with brawn and brain. What more appropriate thing could happen than that the young men of Georgia and of Alabama should form chorus to shout approval when the public hand is stretched out to suc- cor the imperiled brawn and brain of 250O,0O0 people, whose hearths and homes they represent. It is the pathos of tu- berculosis that it so often seizes upon anddestroys the finest physique, the most splendid intellects, the most useful cit izens.
 Indeed the fight against tuberculosis, as depicitede by our greatest local artist, is sort of football game, in which the Anti-Tuberculosis league seeks to force it's way like some stripling David past the giant guard of gaunt death whose talons of disease would snatch from his grasp the symbolic sphere which is the people of the state. Hail Davidi May he succeed in reaching the predestined goal and save the life of unborn thousands.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-11-26

A spectacular and instructive event will be staged at Redwood Field on Thanksgiving day. By the generous kindness of the intercollegiate commit tee. which has the matter in charge; the Anti-Tuberculosis league has been per- u,itted to invite the assistance of the governor of the state of Alabama to serve the people in 8 most unique way. Governor Henderson has graciously con- sented to enter into the spirit of the oc- casion and will offer for sale to the as- scmbled thousands and knock down to the highest bidder the first sheet of 100 Red Cross seals to be sold at retail in the state for the year 19l6
 There is no doubt that vigorours com petition will occur for the possession of this souvenir. which will be beautifully framed for preservation.
 A tidal wave of happy rivalry and a glowing sense of the importance of the work symboliZed will no doubt fuse all hearts, and before the great game begins the vast assemblage will be brought to a white heat of generous good fellowship and the highest practically patriotism.
 The promoters of this unique advertise ment of the Red Cross seal sale and it's significance to the people of the state of Alabama draw attention to the appro- priateness of the event as staged.
 To begin with, the health work of the people requires the initiative of the state executive. There is a state commission

.B|G DAMAGE SUIT
 CREATES INTEREST Many Witnesses to Appear in Trial to Begin in An
 nistOn Court

Anniston, November 25.-(Special) Forty-four witnesses in each case have been summoned to appear at the circuit court Monday morning when the trials of the executors of Roy Watson and Arthur Gaboury vs. the Louisville and Nashville railroad will be called.
 The cases are damage suits for $50,oO0 each. claimed by the executors from the railroad company, for the death of GabouIy and Watson, caused by their automobile being struck by Louisville and Nashville train crossing at Leather wood last February.
 Members of the bench and bar of the city, IS well as the general public, will take keen interest in the proceedings, as the best legal talent has been engaged by both sides in the case.
 Willett, Wilett & Walker will repre- sent the plaintiffs, and Knox. Acker, Dixon & Sterne will represent the rail- road company. It is believed the trial will consume the time of the court during the entire week.
 G. H. Wakefield, who was attacked and robbed by a highwayman Thurs day night was reported to be resting easily today, although he is still suffer- ing intensely from the vicious blow that had been dealt him by the criminal. The clothing found in the house of the Truitt brothers, the negroes who were still being held yesterday on suspicion of having Knowledge of the case, was not blood stained as the police at first supposed, but were stained with red paint.

Davis lived in this city r1trf If friends who will learn of his passing away with regret. MT. Davis was member of Parker Memorial Baptist church for a number of years.

 The patriotic members of the Fort Strother chapter, Daughters of Ameri- can Revolution, will present an Ameri- can flag to the county high school with appropriate ceremonies next Wednesday afternoon at o'clock. Their action in this matter will probably prompt other chapters to take similar action with schools elsewhere that have no flags.  Leo Pruett, who succeeds c. A.

Princess Andrew of Greece Cuts Down Trees to Keep
 Herself t1Fit" and Healthy

Villa Mon Repos, Corfu. Greece, Novenn- Der 1.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press 1.-The Princess Andrew of Greece, who was the English Princess Alice of Battenberg, has spent the past summer The Princess Alice is 90, a cousin of the Queen of Spain Shortly she will take her children back to Athens for the win ter season and give up felling trees to begin again her work of encouraging the Greek women to earn their own living by home sewing-the Princess Alice's own particular hobby.
 The two eldest little girls, Princess Mar guerite and Princess Theodore, Il and 10 respectively, are as brown as their mother and as strong, though they have not been chopping down trees. They have been swimming every day for an hour and half in the warm translucent water of the Corfu channel. Prince Andrews wife her self is a fine. strong swimmer now, but it has not been a long time since Sheldon Whtehouse who was then secretary of the American legation, pulled her out of the water and saved her life when she had gone down three times.
 The villa of Mon Repos. the summer place of Prince Andrew and the Princess Alice, was the favorite country residence Of the late King George, who left 1t to hls tnlrQ son, put unIOTtundIely He ldlleu tO leave the means to keep it up. Prince Andrew is a colonel of a cavalry regt- ment-not lucrative employment. Princess Alice. also is not rich, and the pair. who for royalties are poor as church mice, have four children, all girls, a sad prospect these days when Europe is full of royal girls and short of royal boys to marry them.
 Mon Repos is a big and very beautiful place. Seldom occupied, the property had been let run to seed. The villa itself IS in bad repair and has no modern com forts. The casino, built by the British lord high commissioner, Sir Thomas Wait land, in 1916, is almost gone to rack and ruin. But at that it is far more beauti- fully situated. the house and garden far lovilier than the Achilleon, the villa of the German Emperor, now used as a French hospital. The Achilleon is on height overlooking the whole Corfu channel and the distant shores of the Epirus; but Mon Repos is at the waters edge. and the back of the place gives on the still and beiutiful lagoon of the Kaliopoulos lake.
 The Princess Alice is very pleased and proud over the Improvements she has made on Mon Repos this summer, while her husband has been in England on a diplomatic mission for her royal brother. King Constantine. She Is looking forward to surprising him on his return with the results of her labors.
