POLICE CONTINUE SEARCH FOR CLUE
Detectives Make Statement
 Regarding Murder of Sol dier by Unknown Negro

Police are quietly making efforts to ob tain effective clues to the murderer of V. D. Williams. a discharged soldier of the 167th infantry, Rainbow division, who died in a local infirmary Monday morning from the effects of bullet wounds inflicted by unknown parties. Officers Eddie Lyons and Lee and Jones, who are working on the case, only reiterated the statement last night that negro did the killing. They state that they find that Williams was making an effort to stop a quarrel be- tween another soldier and negro, when the negro fired and the bullet took effect in the breast of Williams.
 Although there have been some mys- the killing, detectiyes threw more Tight on the case yesterday afternoon when they made the following statement.
 "Williams was placed in an automo-
 bile and started to the infirmary. On the way the car broke down and an
 other car containing two women and two men, carried him to the hospital. The two soldiers who had already brought him to Eighth avenue and Thirteenth street when the first car had broken down. also got in the other car and accompanied him to the inflrm- army. This accounts for the mysteri- ous women referred to in the news papers"
 On the other hand, the names of these women are not known to police.
 In the meantime, Colonel William Screws. commander of the regiment, IS making investigations an Detective George Lyons is expecting telegram from him which, it is hoped, will re- veal some new facts in the case. The remains of Williams will be sent to Me David, Fla, for interment by Johns.

 There were just 21 nurses in mobile hospital No. l. and when 1he nurses wei | ordered to move they always filled their canteens for they never knew whether they would be able to get any water when they reached their destination or not. This was a serious proposition for on one occasion she said they had 590 patients in the hospital and only 31 quarts of water and all of the men were thirsty She declared on many occasions she had felt as if she would drop if sne did not have a drink of water but she dared not take any for fear she would he de- rriving some soldier of it. of course water was brought as soon as possible to the hospital.
 This unit of which she was a mem. ter was about three mi es behind the lines at all times only when the men made a rapid advance. Miss Knox said she had seen the men so worn out after fighting that they would lie on the groucd d and sleep in the rain. On many occasions the nurses were forced to put on trousers to get about in the mud according to Miss Knox and when the patients were placed on the cots they would just go down in the mud.

 Miss Knox was reared in South Caro- lins but for several years was head nurse at the Elizabeth Duncan hospital in Bes- semer and has many friends in BesSemer who are extending her cordial welcome.

However these pictures were so dark that it was impossible to reproduce them in The Age Herald. During her stay in Bessemer Miss Knox is the guest of Mrs. w. H. Lewis.

The Committee has brought about condition of affairs which means con- tentment on the part of their associ- ate workers and this, of course, makes them more efficient and more keen to serve the company honestly. At the Committee meeting l at tended one man had good deal to say about the splendid work of the men in the Ham and Bacon depart ments-telling his associate members of their pride in producing the Ger tified Wilson Brands, and suggesting that every worker in every other de- partment should make it matter of personal honor to assist in the prep aration of food products that will all ways justify the use of the slogan, "The Wilson Label Protects Ycur Table,"
 A woman representing the Canned Goods department, informed the Ham and Bacon men that he and his associate workers were no prouder of their achievements in producing Ger tified Wilson Brands than she and her associate workers were in pro- ducing Certified Brands of Canned Meats, Vegetables, Fruits, Table Delicacies, etc.
 So it goes. Workers are keyed up in every department to produce the finest and purest Food Products and they are just as proud of the Wilson & Go. slogan "The Wilson Label Pro tects Your Table," as Mir. Wilson is and that means being some proud.

There is continuous stream OF carts
and trucks loaded with all conceivable

his intention to continue the struggle
against the Bolsheviki, saying he was
not discouraged by tht present re-

KEEPING TAB.

The boss is keeping tab, son. he marks your
every curve; and II you do your mon you'll
get what you deserve. if you are only sprightlv
when your weekly wage you grab. you'll shortly
join the jobless men-the boss is keeping tab Per-
haps you fool around at night paint the village
red when you'd be wiser sleeping tight in your nice
truckle bed; then you dead upon your feet when
you to duty go; you make snail look pretty fleet
your movements are slow; your eyes look like
a total loss, you have that's drab: YOU can
not put such things across-the boss is keeping tab
Perhaps your thoughts have roamed afar from
work you ought to do you're thinking of some
movie star who made hit with you; or OF a low
ride you will take when this sad day is done: or
of shady way to make little bunch of mon.
or of a large panked tenderloin that you at night
will stab; 'twere better to earn your coin-.ba

hand. you're working like 10. you're hustline
round to beat the band. to make business grow
And there is vigor in your walk. your movements
are not dead; you do not pause watch the clock
and count the hours ahead Success for YOU is
looming plain some big prize you will nab: the

Mr. Albert to Pensacola is of tremendous Importance
at this Time and the message that he brought with
him was inspiring and held much value.
Community building and civic betterment are par

ever may help to keep things stable
equilibrium should have unqualified support
How 1t has come to pass may not be possible to

where. a new civic consciousness has awakened
Men are working together with a spirit they have
never known before. They building on a foun-
dation which has for cornerstone the love of
to another.
After ALL 1t is the spirit put into any work that
counts. Building community is much like building

The man who looks upon every other business
man as a crook is potential crook himself He
may be as honest as the day; scrupulous his
dealings, but If he looks upon every other man as
crooked, he is like the man who carries gun, who

The man who is really square, is not always look
