Prof. &. c. Sargent, specialist

thoroughly understood and np-

Posse Is in Pursuit of Two Negroes Who Attacked
 Girls
TROUBLE FEARED
 IF THEY ARE CAUGHT
Girls Are at Home in Serious Con- dition as Result of Attack. Negroes Were Frightened
 Away by Automobile

Two young girls, aged 14 and IS years, respectively were attacked last night on the corner of Sixteenth avenue and Hunts vile avenue, north, at S:45 o'clock and brutally handled by two negro men, who made their escape. Both of the girls were badly beaten and bruised by their as- sailants.
 Within five minutes after the attempted assault, Officer Giles and Detectives Mo- ser and Lyons were on the scene. They assisted the girls to their homes nearby and took up the pursuit of the negroes. Both of the young women state they will be able to identify their assailants if they are brought before them.
 Upon the arrival of the young women at home, medical aid was summoned and both were pronounced to be in a danger GUS condition, caused by the shock and subsequent excitement. Had it not been for the plucky fight put up by both girls it is thought they would have been killed. One of them tainted immediately after the arrival of the officers. She held piece Of cloth in her hand which had been torn from her assailants shirt Both of the girls were beaten about the face and body and one of them (the youngesD, was bleeding from the mouth and nose Their clothes were almost torn from their bodies and prints from the hands of the negroes were upon the threats of both girls
 In statement made to the officers the oldest girl said that they had been out late on a visit to some of their relatives and had stayed longer than they thought

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Thinks It a Joke
Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 l have not as yet noticed any recogni- tion of the new humorist that has sud- denly appeared or any comment upon the proposition which should rightfully make the offerer famous in the field of great humorists. Some may say that the prop osition is simply ridiculous; but it is not that--it is altogether too comical to be even ridiculous.
 I refer to the kind offer of the execu- tive head of the Southern Bell Telephone company to the city commission to as- sist them in the investigation about to begin of the rates, regulations etc., of the company in question and to ascertain the truth of the charge that their rates are excessively high. The telephone com pany offered to furnish and compile the necessary data to exonerate it, and I read that the commission had decided to ac-

Instead of getting the North Birmingham car and getting off a few blocks from their homes, they decided to take the North Highlands car and walk to their homes a few blocks further than the route they had been accustomed to take The girls noticed two negro men walk ing ill front of them from the time they got off the car until they were attacked.
 As they reached Sixteenth and Hunts vile avenues. the two negroes wheeled suddenly and ran towards them. One of the negroes said that if they made any noise he would cut them to ribbons and added that he wanted to kill a white woman anyway. Both started to run but were seized and held. They fought des- perately and screamed for aid. They were both knocked down repeatedly. Finally an automobile stopped a block from the scene and the negroes became frightened and left
 The news of the attempted assault did not spread until several hours after it had occurred. Many citizens of North Birmingham and vicinity armed them- selves with guns and revolvers and joined in the hunt for the two negroes. Up until an early hour this morning no violence had been reported although the police were fearful of trouble should the negroes be found.
 At l o'clock this morning a negro was arrested and brought before the girls. They both said that he was not the right man and he was released.

cept the offer. It surely is calculated to
 make one laugh-not smile-but laugh. My grandfather used to tell the story of Hiram Powers, who. years ago. lived in a baclkwoods county of Georgia, and who was, he thought, the funniest man
 on earth. Hiram, though good natured and talkative, and possessed of keen sense of humor, had nevertheless, gained the reputation of being a very dangerous
 man. It so happened that Hiram one day. in a rather heated controversy, killed the
 county attorney for his part in convict ing his brother for stealing hogs. The court being in session, Hiram surrendered
 upon the promise or immediate trial. Next day the case was called, when to the consternation of the judge and jury, they
 suddenly remembered that there was no prosecuting attorney. But the judge, not to be frustra ted, asked one of the few lawyers usually loafng around the court house to conduct the case. This lawyer. being rather weakly, and also having a family dependent upon him, thankfully declined as did the others, to whom it was successively offered. It looked as though the case would have to be con- , tinued; but the judge said inasmuch as he had promised Hiram immediate trial, he did not see how it could consistently be done. Then Hiram, to relieve the sit uation, offered to prosecute his own case, and that, too, for nothing, and pay his own expenses. He reminded the judge of the saving it would be to the county and taxpayers not to have to pay a lawyer to prosecute a case where acquittal was certain The judge, after some hesitation decided to accept the offer. for he eX- plained, it would be quite a saving and he knew Hiram was at least thorough and energetic. The confidence of the judge was not misplaced, for Hiram took up he r,ynG nt 4l.. | nesGes and even asked the alleged mur- derer if he was guilty. But this being his first case and the testimony being somewhat mixed and incomplete, the ann ateur lawyer failed to convict, so Hiram was released.
 My grandfather always said that he considered Hiram the greatest joker that ever was or ever would be- But if the | old man was living now he no doubt would acknowledge that Hiram was d | mere pilSer. R. c. BARNARD. Birmingham. 400 South Fifty-fourth street, January 19, 1916.

Deaths and Funerals
Clifford IOuis Chest.

pr. c. A. Brown, principal of Birming- ham Central High school, learned yester- day of the sudden death of MT. Clifford Louis Guest, formerly a member of the Central High school faculty.
 MT Guest graduated from the Univer- sity of Michigan in the class of 1905, and taught in the Birmingham schools from 1912 to 1915. Bad health forced him to give up teaching and prevented his re- turning to Birmingham. Dr. Brown en- phasized his personal sorrow which he said would be shared by all MT. Guests former co-laborers and many friends in Birmingham.
 He was a scholarly gentleman said pr. Brown, ''and a conscientious and faithful worker.
 MT. Guest died at the home of his parents in Detroit January 13.

TALKS ON BANKING
The Bank a Protector of Money

We are all obliged to carry with us
 certain amount of money-the daily ne-
 cessities of life require cash. How much
 you should carry is for you to say. As rule, not more than you will need from
 day to day, for the man who carries
 great wads of money with him is not only taking the risks of theft and loss. but is
 doing himself, the bank and the com
 munity an injustice; himself in the risk he
 assumes and the loss of interest the bank
 would gladly pay; the bank in the use of money to it's profit and the community in the loss of the money as the founda- tion of credit.
 In the bankless community the individ- ual must protect his own money And to protect it he hides it, often to his sor- row. IT there were no banks We would graviate to a state of barbarism where strength was the only safeguard But to the individual who has more money in hand than the daily needs require the bank says: Tt is our business to protect For this we have strong vaults, burglar alarms and watchmen We spend money to protect money. We know how-that is our function as a bank"
 You will frequently read of losses run ming into large figures because someone has mistrusterd the bank, and assumed
 to be his own money protector. Mer- chants in bankless towns are freuuently robbed-so frequently that some who have learned their lesson will no longer trust
 the frail iron safe that looks so formid- able, but is mere toy under the cracks
 mans skill and prefer to sleep on their
 money.
 If every man to his trade is a good motto, then the banker to his trade, which
 is, first of all, to safeguard money. True
 e 6Oac Laap ali hea in cash-that would be a useless and profitless task-he keeps only enough to do business with and loans the rest, which constitutes the second function of the
 banker, and that is to lend, which will be treated in No. of the centennial series;
 but remember this that the place for the money you can't use today is in the bank, for this is what banks are for, and you had better find it out. You will sleep
 better and your money will grow while you sleep.

Could I have the mandolin and the mu- sic offered by o. C.? I am an office clerk, alone in the city, and spend all my even- ings. Sundays, and holidays alone in my room. I am unable to read as my eyes are weak, but I learn music by heart, so would need to read only a little of the music at time. I promised to send Mrs. H. some embroidery patterns, but in nov ing I lost her address, and am unable to reach her. Is there any way of finding it again through the Corner?

 Unfortunately the mandolin and music are no longer in our gift. Perhaps an other instrument may be offered in reply to your request. Yuletide leaves human hearts wondrous soft.

Fond of the Great Oratorios

"Though a mere man, I read and enjoy your Helping Hand Corner, and now won- der if you can help me. I am a working man with a large family to support, and am, therefore, not always able to get the things I desire. Of late years I am some- what deaf and am debarred from the enjoyment of church services, lectures etc. In spite of my deafness, my greatest pleasure lies in playing the organ, and am proficient enough in this to play at the services of a little chapel which I at tend. I give my services gladly, as feel l am doing what I can in His name What I most earnestly desire is a book on harmony, so I could learn more of the technique of music I am entirely self taught and realize my limitations. I am especially fond of the great oratorios and it has always been my greatest wish to obtain copies of The Messiah Elijah. and "Tanhauser I am familiar with portions of these works and should love to have an opportunity to practice them. If you can help me to obtain these my gratitude will know no measure.

 Musicians who have read (and what music lover has not?) the story of deaf Beethoven and his achievements after the terrible affliction fell upon him, will recall 1t with vididness in perusing the forego- ing letter. There is pathos in every line, but throughout one recognizes the uncon- querable spirit of the true artist and brave man. Let him have all the books and music we can procure for him to init igate the sorrow which he bears like the Christian hero he is. He asks but little and he should not sue in vain He real 1zes his limitations. Let us lessen the weight so far as human kindness can do this.
