Hurt in Auto Wreck.

Avoca, Mich, May ga man giving
his name as Brooks and his residence
as Brown City was injured when an
automobile in which he and two other
men, named Davis, also of Brown City,
were driving to this city to board a
train for their home, plunged over the
side of Mericle's bridge, mile and a
half south of here Saturday evening.
As the automobile approached the
bridge at rapid rate of speed horse
and rig was observed crossing the
structure. The men in the automobile
were unable to stop their car in time
to avoid striking the rig, and the dryer
steered his machine over the side of
the bridge. AS the machine plunged
downward 1t struck tree which veered
the front end into the water under the
bridge. Brooks was pinned under the
machine. He was brought to this
place and his injuries were dressed by

working on dredge near Lambs. The
automobile was badly wrecked and

Little Deeds of Kindness
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

Every day, almost, this department tells of some fine work being done in tms community or some other place. There are great many beautiful things pc ing done in the world, to alleviate sut- fering, to assist the needy and to pre- serve the best for those that need guid- ance and have lost the road, but some times there are people that never come in contact with these sources of good and do not need them, in fact but even to them a little act of kindness IS beam of light.
 There are 8 number of stories to De told about little things that are done TOT service, but what's the use, these are enough. We know that there is lot Of bad in the best of us, but thank God there is also a lot of good in the worst of us.
 The social service department will well come any little story for publication that you may know. It will be suggestion to some other person as to how to treat some one under similar circumstances Send them in soon.

 ble and these men will gladly comply with the law-and as gladly retire from positions in the political field. Then there will be some liquor dealers in the Legislature, as there will be some of all trades, as there will be. bakers and lawyers and farmers. It Is best for the community that all interests should be represented here, and theirs among the rest. But you will not find predominence of any class unless you make that predominence an essential to existence. Remove from the statue book obnoxious and degrading laws; remove the uncertainties with which you have surrounded business which is sure to exist for ages to come: re- move the discredit which you have placed on this trade, which you honor with your patronage; let these people pursue their trade without fear of per secutioh. and untrammelled by regu1a- tions with which the community will not let them comply. Do that and they will join you in the work of temper ance; they will cease to be criminals; they will cease to be politicians, and your own hearts will be cleansed of that insult to republican institutions the fear of entrusting to chosen ofy fcials so trifling a matter as whether in particular liquor store there shall be tables or a bar.v

WALTON CASE WILL
 REACH THE JURY EARLY THIS MORNING
Solicitor Black Will Make Closing Argument for the State COmmcr. cing at
 S:3O O'Clock

The case of the state against Louis Walton, charged with the murder of M O Barton on April s, 1915, will go to the jury sometime this morning. The defense closed it's case at 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon, and after the state had introduced several witnesses in rebuttal argument by the state begun, Judge A. M. Douglass, who is assist ing Solicitor Black, taking the initia- tive. Attorney G. R. Harsh opened for the defense and spoke for more than an hour Assistant Solicitor W. S. Welsh followed for the state. Solicitor Black will close for the state this morning.
 The case has been long drawn out and hard fought on both sides, and the court, in order to finish this week, has been holding extra hours each day. The lawyers for the defense finished speaking at GAO last night and Judge Alston announced that court would con vene at S:30 this morning.
 More than 40 witnesses were put on the stand by the defense, most of whom were character witnesses. Several wit nesses were put back on the stand by
  of the defense. Louis Walton, the de- fendant was put on the stand at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and held un- til the court adjorned for noon. He was again called to the stand In the afternoon by the state.
 The entire case has been wrapped and twisted around the question of insur- ance, the theory upon which the state has prosecuted the case, large amount being carried by the two men,
 Mir. Barton's testimony on the wit ness stand, in part, Is as follows;
 T have been resident of Jefferson county since 1884, and have known Bar ton since he was little boy, wearing knee pants. He was employed at Van derbilt by the Birmingham Coal and Iron company when I was manager of their stores and commissaries He was in my employ several times, and was 8 young man of the finest possibilities. MT Barton and I formed partnership as L. Walton & Co.,, about the time the in surrance for $7500 was taken out on each of us from the Penn Mutual com pany, and these policies were solicited at my store, 2700 Avenue F. They were taken out, especially the one on his life, at Barton's own suggestion. He later told MT. McGee my manager that he had grown tired of the grocery business and wanted to try something else. I did not want to lose him, so we discussed going into the automobile bus and truck business. It was his own idea that we each insure our lives in the interest of the firm. There was no one in the world I would rather have had as a partner than Barton, for felt toward him as though he was my own son. fr
 Walton denied positively all knowl edge of the killing and stated he was shocked beyond measure at the tragic death of his young business partner.
 He was questioned at great length as to what he did with reference to find ing the body of Barton, the amount Of tha yolicies, whether the premiums were paid, and why not. It developed that oneN or more of the policies were not delfyeSed because of the death of Barton.

In writing of the big kindnesses of life we are very apt to forget the splen- did little things that so often come un- der our observation, and it's too bad to neglect to mention the little things for they are so truly worth while.
 Helping somebody's mother" across the street is another round in the lad der of good deeds. kind word spoken makes a big mark on life's ledger to the good. Some of the little acts lof kindness we see are so tiny and so humble they are hardly noticeable, but they were bright spots to the person that feels the kindness.
 For instance, one act that had a real touch of human tenderness was done by jitney driver on Eleventh ner of Twelfth street young man, as- sisted by another man, hailed a jitney. The younger man of the two had hurt his leg and was on crutches. The crip- pied man, when seated in the car, was unable to bend his sore leg, and nec- essarily took up a good deal of room In the car. little further down the street two more passenger hailed the jitney, but the driver did not stop. The crippled man turning to the driver said, Those people back there hailed you" "Yes," said the driver, but it's no use to crowd you with that bad leg"
 At the recent lecture of Helen Keller there were a number of blind men in the audience. As they came in the ush-. CTS, young women, assisted each man to his proper seat, and one was over heard to say. Now be quite still when it's all over with and I'll come back to you" True to her promise, when the the atre was almost empty she came back and carefully took the blind man to the street. Other blind persons, I am told, were treated with similar kindness.
 One of the prettiest acts possible was enacted on a downtown street several days ago. A woman visibly a stranger, with a large bundle and two small children, stood bewildered at the cor ner of First avenue and Twentieth street. The wind was blowing hard and the woman looked down the street, evidently expecting some one. As she stood, a rather 'forelorn and discon- solate figure, a well dresed gentleman, prominent in the business world of this city, and known as very busy man, stopped and asked her what he could do to assist her She told him the name of the car she wished to take. He waited with her, put her on the car, assisting her with the big bum dle while she deposited the children, then tipped his hat and walked down the street.
 This act had taken several minutes of this mans valuable time, but wasn't is worth while?

A MESSAGE TO ALL
 BIRMINGHAM MOTHERS

Several days ago an article appeared ln this department called "The Girls in BIT mingham" It spoke in no measured terms of the conduct of the girls of teen or high school age, who were seen ire quenting the moving picture shows. It di- rectly spoke of a group of High school girls who were seen attracting attention by the Tutwiler hotel. It has been re- quested by a committee from a class at the High school that the author Of this article state she meant the article as warning for all girls and direct mes sage to the mothers of all girls Of hlgn school age in this city, no matter what school they attend
 We are sorry to offend any girl who in nocently must stand the blame of the acts of her schoolmates. We are sorry to know that it is fact some of the young women of the community are al- lowing themselves to be criticised. We mean the article to in no way reflect upon the teachers of the Birmingham High school, nor upon the school itself. But we do earnestly desire that every mother say This is a warning to me to in every way direct my daughter to act in the way becoming young woman that is with understanding and dignity"
 Your daughters, mothers of Birming- ham, are not immune to the dangers that turk in all large cities unless you make her sure of herself by honest under standing, companionship and education along the lines of social hygiene.
 Far be it for me to hurt any girl. The mission of this department is to assist, uplift and to sympathize. Take this mes- sage to your hearts, and so act dear High school girls, that never again let it be said you or any other Birmingham girl is not doing all that is splendid and fine and dignif1ed.
