NEW DECATUR

New Decatur January 2l.-(Special) Julian Strickland, aged Il years was run down and painfully hurt here late this afternoon by a Packard car, driven by Jack Johnson, negro chauffeur in the employ of J. T. Jones, a wealthy cot ton factor. At the time of the accident the car was occupied only by the driver and Robert Jordan, another negro, both of whom were placed under arrest by a deputy sheriff and hurried to the county jail, pending the preferment of formal charges.
 The boy had turned a corner and was proceeding in the same direction as the car. when the wheel he was riding was knocked from under him and he was hurled to the ground. The eyewitnesses stated that the automobile passed over the boys body, but an examination by Dr. F. P. Petty showed that no bones were broken
 A crowd quickly gathered and threaten of mob violence against the negroes were heard. Johnson was recently convicted in the New Decatur police court of speeding.
 One hour later, Charles Thomas, white boy, was knocked from his wheel
 
 where the Strickland boy had been in- jured. He was hit by an automobile driven by Charles Leftwitch, but was not injured. Eyewitnesses stated that the accident was unavoidable, as the boy hesitated and couldn't make up his mind which way to turn.
 Because of the many automobile acci- | dents here recently, and the complaints 1 of violation of the anti-speeding laws, the city council of Decatur. at it's meet l ing last night, instructed the chief of po- l lice to keep an officer at the public school building during the noon hour for the protection of the children. 1 J. F. Peterson. inventor of modern silo for which he has secured a patent, | has removed his residence from Madison ] to the DecatErs, and proposes to enter l extensively into the manufacture of his | invention.

Central High school celebrated the opening of the Alabama Interscholastic Athletic conference yesterday after noon with an overwhelming defeat to the Etowah County High school, com pletely outclassing the Attalla five. The final count was 40 to '. At no time of the game was CentraIs superiority questioned and as the game progressed it was only the matter of how large the score would be- A capacity filled the E. A. C. gymnasium to witness the struggle.
 Brief but impressive ceremonies pre- ceded the game. President Charles A. Brown of the conference opened the exercises with brief talk in which he outlined the policies of the confer ence to promote high school athletics on a general basis. President Brown was followed by J. s. Thomas, super intendent of secondary education at the University of Alabama, who told of the progress of high school athletics over the entire state. Over 50 schools turn out bask etball teams, over 100 baseball and about 50 football teams MT Thom- as also reported the approval the new association was gaining throughout the state.
 Ed Anderson, president of the Ath- letic club, followed. MT. Anderson vel comed the association to make it's headquarters his club and offered any assistance in the name of the club possible to make the new association succ ,~s. He also announced basket ball tourney that would be staged in February under the auspices of the Athletic club for the teams of the as sociation which is now composed of 16 schools.
 The initial athletic contest of the conference was then started. From the jump Central showed superiority. Both teams fought hard, but the well-trained Pritchard machine rolled up large score before the half had ended. Eto- wah had little opposition to offer to

The Examiner is feeling
pretty good over the pros
poets of the erection of a new
city hall and new depot in
Montpelier this year, two i'm
provements which it has been
advocating for a number of
years. After we get these,
we are going after other and
bigger things, which, if se-
cured, will be Of great benefit
to the city. And by the way,
every Improvement in Mont
pelier that has been advocated
by the Examiner, under the
present management, has been
made. The first one was the
consolidation o + the t W o
school districts into one indie
pendent district, and the es-
tablishment of a high school;
then came the advocacy of a
water system. This was fol-
lowed by d crusade IN favor of
cement sidewalks. There is
not a citizen in Montpelier to-
day but what is proud of the
fact that we have these mod
ern conveniences.
However, the city is minus
one thing we have always adj
yocated and done what W e
could to maintain and that is
IA commercial club. There are
today several propositions
for a live commercial club to
consider, and they are propo-
sitions, which have for their
object t h e advancement of
Montpelier. One of these is
the building of a first-class
highway between this city and
Alton. Montpelier always
has been and always will be
the logical railroad point for
the Star valley people, and
the road connecting the lead
ing towns in each valley
should be as near perfect as
it is possible to make a high
way in a mountain country.

Governor Alexander in his
speech at Nampa before the
Farmers Society of Equity,
ran true to form. The whole
tenor of his remarks was to
stir up class prejudice and
class hatred; to array the
farmer against the city man.
In speaking of rural credit
banks he said they must, when
established, be run by farmers
and then the guys" now be-
hind the wickets will have to
get out and work the same as
the farmers do. Could any
thing be cheaper?
OF course, the governor
knew and every man who
heard him knows, that if such
banks are ever established
they will be managed by men
trained in the banking bust
ness There isn't a farmer in
Canyon county who would
trust his money with another
man merely because he is a
farmer. Before putting mon
ey in the mans hand he would
want to know what experience
he had had and his general
reputation for honesty and
good judgment.
The governor had much adj
vice for the farmer about not
letting the business man with
his white collar and patent
leather shoes get the best of
them, the same old stuff he
has pulled on every farmers
meeting b e has addressed
since his election. While be-
rating business men he neg
lected to call attention to the
fact he is and has been bust
ness man all mis- life, and has
made more money 0 # the
farmers than any other one
man in the state of Idaho.
But if he can make a quarter
of a million dollars off them by
selling them clothing at exor.
bitant prices and at the same
time win their applause while
villifying other business men
we suppose he win keep righr
on with this sort of stuff
Leaving conscience and jus
tice out Of the question there
