RUSHTON REVIEWS RECORD IN REPLY
 ID HEFLIN CHARGE

Lineville, April 2s.-(Special)- to charge of J. Thomas Heflin that he is a Representative of special interests" Ray Rushton Of Montgomery, candidate for the senatorial short term. here to- night reviewed briefly his record, as shown by Montgomery county courts, n reltaion to the employment of labor and protecting the interests of the public.
 MT. Rushton, in his address, reteraeen his stand for constitutional government and the enforcement of all laws legally adopted, contending that the prohibition question had ceased to be a political is- sue when the eighteenth amendment to the federal constitution was adopted. In regard to Heflin's charges as reported in the press, Mir. Rushton said:
 T had always regarded my opponent MT. Heflin, as a rollicking, good-natured fellow, and had always thought that his humorous stories and anecdotes were in the main directed to the purpose of en- tertaining his friends. but it seems that in my case he is willing to indulge in a witticism that he supposes will help him and prejudice others towards men.
 IL IS reported III the press that ne is saying in north Alabama that l, as receiver of the street railway in Nnnt- gomery, have raised the fare from five cents to seven cents. At the end of the war the street railway in our town was not only bankrupt, but in a bad condi- tien physically. It had not paid inter- est on its debts for more than two years The track and readbed were absolutely dangerous. The cars and equipment Were in such bad repair that only about one-half of the schedules were being made. The employees were poorly paid and the pay roll long delayed, and there was much discentent among the men, The owner of the ecompany became discouraged and demoralized and aban- doned it. I had been attorney for the company for long time, but had re- ceiyed no pay for my services for over two years. The far had already been raised from five to six cents. but had apparently brought no relief. I was asked to take charge of it, and did so and at once succeeded in bringing about great improvements. It was not diff cult to do so, because both the public and the employees had confidence in me l arranged at once to pay off the men and to raise somewhat and edualize tlleir pay. Although the material was hard to get, I succeeded in soon get ting the track and cars in going ees0 oition By the loyal help of these nY~a the public soon changed it's attitude nsd the patronage increased perceptibly from the very beginning.

Friends of Mrs. Pierre Becheray
formerly Miss Clara Heimrod Of

of the bereavement she has suffered
in the death OF her husband at Berne,

Becheray from Berne.
The death occurred November TO-

months OF illness which left him 50

stand attacks of influenza. The
sorrow was Z heavy one, she re-
lates, and especially so upon the
two, children, the daughter Marcelle,
having been passionately fond OF
her father and apparently unable to
grasp the full significance Of his
passing away.
Referring to her future plans, and
the possibility of her return to
Omaha, Mrs. Becheray writes:
~ long to return to the states,
and probably will, but when, and
il forever, it is hard for me now
to decide. feel that I have passed
through so much sorrow in Berne
that ] would like to go back to
where happier days were mine; and
yet, the happy days with my hus-
band draw me here"

What Madge Read In Harriet

Harriet and Edwin Braithwaite

when they sailed away-but the last
few months had been in the nature

the beneficial effects of it. Dicky's
sister retained her fresh, rather high
coloring, while her husband was
slowly regaining the flesh which
had been his, and which he needed
to make his big, powerful frame ap-
pear other than emaciated.

That Edwin Braithwaite in the

in-law and her husband to ascertain
whether all was still we'll with them.
1t did not take me long to make
up my mind regretfully in the mega

both pairs of fine eyes that affected
me as strain of mournful music
would have done. Outwardly they
were the same jovial, affectionats
couple a. of old, and. indeed, do
not think there was any perceptible
change in their relations when there
were no observers of their actions
present. Whatever barrier was be-
tween them, and ! felt sure there was
one, must be an impalpable, elusive
sort Of thing. One far more hopeless
of elimination than if it had been
something material. One, perhaps,
which they did not themselves real
