 MURDER OF LINTEN

 Live Clean Lives

Anniston, July 30.- Special. Edgar Caldwell, negro soldier, was hanged in the Calhoun county jail yard at noon Friday for the murder of Cecil Linten, street car conductor, in this city, on December 15. 1913, the execution being witnessed by the widow of the slain conductor, who held in her arms the Htt,e girl born a few months after its father had been sent to the grave by a ballet from the soldiers pistol
 Caldwell went to the scaffold with a nerve seldom exhibited by a man being IUt to death. He was permitted to ad- dre ss an assembly of more than 2,50o people in front of the jall before the ex- ecution. The negro read the 23d Psalm, sang two songs and delivered an earn

ALIVE IS
 BELIEF OF FRIENDS
By Associated Press

Nashville, Tenn, July 3o-That John Thompson, Jr.. prominent Nashville con- tractor, is alive; that perhaps seriously injured, he crawled away from the rall- road track. where he is thought to have fallen from the Memphis train today, and is being taken care of at some farm house away from telephone. or else un- able to make known his identity, is the belief tonight of his business associates.
 The only explanation his friends can give for his mysterious disappearance from the train somewhere between Mem phis and Jackson is that he was ill and probably went to the rear of the train for fresh air and while leaning over the rail fell to the ground.

 ENGINEERS RECOMMENDA-
 DATIONS NOT ACCEPTED
 Mir Huey arose to his feet at this time and stated that the entire contro- Versy on this point resulted from the action of the board of revenue and the advisory committee in not accepting the recommendation of the engineers. The board and the committee were unanl- nous in their decision to have a concrete base on the permanent highways and for this reason did not accept the rec ommendatton of the engineers, said Mir. Huey. The engineers recommend that bitulithic paving be put down on re- constructed base" he said. 'Nhether we were wise or not remains to be seen. would not have mc"tioned this mat ter if the letter of NIT. Kendrick had not been read.,,
 Batson stated that his recommenda- tion was concurred in by three engi- neers and there was no argument about it. It was merely a recommendation ana it may be right or wrong They had had experience and he asked them to check it with him. as he wanted the benefit of their experience, he said.
 Joseph A. Logan Slated that IT tHe county was on the verge of bankruptcy he thought it should be known. How ever. if this was not the case, then the county should call for a correction.
 Jere Gwin asked: Has the attitude of the advisory comm tee been one of advise or dictation7" Mir Huey declared he didn't know of much advice they had gotten from them until the recent report was made by the committee and bapdad to the naper= the same day it was given to the board

For the Good of
 the Community

XX7HAT are the two biggest things that w have come to Alabama in the past dozen years?
 What account have they given of them selves? Have they injured or benefited the state?
 Have smaller industries suffered be- cause the big ones established them selves?
 Biggest is the United States Steel Cor poration, which took over the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company. That struggling iron and steel industry has been placed on it's feet thorugh continu- ing and continuous process of develop ment.
 The American Steel and Wire, another auxiliary of the United States Steel, made area1wire mill of the plant at Ensley.
 Then came the third auxiliary of the United States Steel, the Chickasaw Ship building and Car Company. Ithas placed !, our seaport on the map of nations. It's Alabama-steel freighter leviathans are carrying Alabama steel products to all parts of the world.
 The latest expression of expansion is the pressed steel car works forming part of the plate mills at Fairfield and nicely adjusted to the latter
 Since the coming of the U. s. Steel Ala bama has had peace in her industrial fields Wages have been advanced year in and year out by the company before the men asked for raises. Mining villages have been made models of comfort and safety. Systems of recoupment for injury are automatic. Goods are kept in clean stores and sold to workers at prices not to be duplicated elsewhere.
 This healthy example has permeated the district. All large concerns are doing what the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road Company started doing dozen years ago.
 That other large concern, the Ala bama Power Company, what of 1t? Nine years ago it-knocked at the door of Ala bama. We were afraid of it, because we understood that it was big concern. What has 1t done?
 Ithas harnessed the power of the Coosa river and given light and power to more than half of Alabama. It has distinctly helped more than a million people expand industrially. It is but in the infancy of de- velopment that will count for continuous increment of prosperity and comfort in living.
 The coal industry felt jealous, because water power is substitute for steam power. It was not long before the coal mines themselves found it economical to operate mine machinery and get out coal by hydroelectricity.
 The locks which the Alabama Power shall have placed on the Coosa under the water power bill will remove the obstruct- ing rapids and open up nine hundred miles of inland navigation from Rome, Ga, to the Gulf at Mobile.
 The Alabama Power made possible the remarkable development of the graphite industry in east Alabama and enabled the operation of electric steel furnaces at An niston, the first in the state.
 Cotton mills, cemen plants and steel works have found it advantageous to hitch on to the lines of this company for the elastic, clean and smooth power that it :~l,,
