 1NNARLOR Reds are as ancient as the
 IF Gracchi, and they, have not inn = proved with time. They flourish wherever an outwardly superior and safe social class is subject to the menace or attack of another class inferior in standing but greater in power. Like all class deserters, the parlor reds new oc- oupying the attention of the Lusk com mittee have travelled an easy way for time.
 They have told the oeal Reds that the cultured independent class are worth less. This they have done, some more, some less sincerely. The real reds at any rate have believed it. The real have honored the parlor brand, and indeed have cherished them as a district attor- ney does a states witness. Beside the fondling thus gotten. the renegades have won the peculiar kind of delight found b yegotists in detraction and betrayai of those whom they consider their near est snlilars.

RaAasia's Worst Woman
 Awaits Death in Prison

es1RosA THE RED,' declared to
 NN be the woman with the worst reputation in Russia, has been ar rested. A dispatch from London, con- tains an interview with Mai H. s. Saver, who recently returned to Eng land from Kieff. Major Saver visited Rosa in prison at Kieff, where she is waiting punishment for her numerous crimes. He found her seated on a bed biting her finger nails. Nervous ness was expressed in her attitude. In her eyes there was hunted, fright ened look" After single glance, she paid no further attention to her visitor.
 We'll may "Rosa the Red" bite her finger nails and wonder what the morrow will bring forth, if half the shocking stories told about her are true. Red is she in name and in deed, for hundreds of the cruelest and most cold-bloodeG murders imagina- ble are laid at the door of this woman who appears more like a wild beast, man-eating beast, than a woman. Her name caused shudderino among the "white" population, for she stood high with the fred" leaders.
 Rosa showed fiendish ingenuity in dispatching her victims. It is re- lated that she would frequently visit 2 house of detention when volunteer officers were confined and order one brought into the courtyard. Armed with 2 revolver, Rosa would face the

She stated that she had looked the town over and had been unable to find place. The land lady informed her that she did not rent rooms. She occupies a large house. The caller demanded that one of the rooms be rented to her and upon the landlady's firm refusal she blurted out, What right have you to occupy this big house with so many rooms not in use while so many people are look ing for rooms to live fn? The land lady, not caring to argue the matter with the caller, slammed the door in her face, while the latter stood on the porch for several minutes calling down anathemas upon the heads of house

F. Hendon, superintendent of missions in the Birmingham association, for he said: Brethren, if there ever was a time when the churches ought to open their doors for Thanksgiving services
 1t is at the present, when we have so much to be thankful for. and if there is any doubf about it in Birmingham, just come down to Bessemer and wor- ship with us for we are going to- cele- brate it fittingly with prayer and praise"

After gloating over her vic- tim she would fire again, in a more vital spot, or miss him intentionally, and finally dispatch him with bul- let fired into his brain Or his heart. ! It seems incredible that such a mon- strous creature could be prodced, in any civilized society and under any conditions, but the type is not unusual in revolutionary periods. Rosa the Red" is a match for Peter the Butcher" official executioner of the bolsheviki, formerly a menial in Lon don. There were plenty of "Rosas" during the French revolution. It is fortunate for humanity and civiliza- ton that such characters, spewed up by national crises, create revulsion by their excesses and thus unwittingIy help to restore sanity to the masses, with the result that their bloody ca- reers are speedily brought to an end. * x *
 Ready Responses to
 Charity Appeals
 | THE drive for fifteen thousand 0 dollars for the Mercy Home began yesterday and five thousand dollars was raised. The campaign ends tonight and the goal should be reached by that time, so that the Home may have abundance to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day.
 The Mercy Home is one of our most worthy charities. It touches the hearts of the public and the response to it's appeal should be prompt and Igererous.
 The St. Vincent hospital makes it's annual appeal for Thanksgiving The sisters of charity have no drive, but they count on their friends remember ing them on that day. The con- tributions have been generous in past Thanksgiving and it is hoped they will be even more liberal tomorrow.

 The population in the Eighth dis- trict has increased very largely since the last census especially in the sec tion around Muscle Shoals, at Deca- = tur, Albany and Huntsville. Florence, Sheffield Decatur, Albany and Hunts vile all will show considerable in- crease in population and I look for two or three of them to be close to the 10000 class"

 Well. as it happened, we stopped at this point to give attention to not box. That old white mule broke loose and simply stepped out of the car. we were in Tupelo before we discovered the loss of the mule. Of course the ! consignee brought claim against the company and the conductor had to pay l $75 for the mule out of his per day per diem.
