FATAL STAB NEAR HEART
 IS CHARGED TO SLEDGE.

Roanoke, July 2s.-(special. )- Laurine Sledge. young man of this place, is in jail at Lafayette, charged with killing George Tatum, son of B. P. Tatum, prominent citizen of Abanda. The killing occurred at the latter place, station on the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail- road. in Chambers county, Wednesday night. It seems that there had been some wrangling preceding the al- legged stabbing of Tatum by Sledge, death following within 15 minutes after a wound had been inflicted near the heart. Sledge awaited the coming of the officers to carry him to jail. The families on both sides are good people, and the tragedy is greatly regretted.

Washington, July 29.-- The accom- of the administration to- ward relief of financial conditions are reviewed at length in a state ment issued today from the White House declaring that the work done in that direction during the last four months constitutes Ian achievement of the largest importance to the country
 In support of this assertion, the statement points to and discusses at length the recent reduction of dis count rates by federal reserve banks; steps taken by the treasury towards refunding the national debt; the re- sumption of active operation by the war finance corporation: efforts towards final settlement of the rail- road problem: extension of relief to agriculture and the live stock indus try and various other items of the Administrations financial policy.

Whether the starting or this report was intended as a service to the south or as a campaign of pro paganda for some other section the people of the south cannot say, but whatever the motve a grave injus tice has been done which the people of the south should not longer permit to go unchallenged.
 There is no plague of pellagra In the south, at least in that part of the south in which Alabama is located. There is no famine here. Citizens of Alabama do not call upon any other section for relief. This state is able to protect it's own people and it will do so.
 Tt has been my observation In re- cent years that these sensational re- ports are started at frequent inter vals Somebody desires some adver- Using or some section desires to take a step forward at the expense Of another. In this instance, the south would be made to suffer in order that some person or some other section might benefit
 Records of the Alabama board of health show that conditions regard ing pellagra are better than they have ever been. It is true that there are cases. many more cases than we would have, but there is no such thing as an epidemic. The work ot the health department Is gradually reducing the number of cases and 1t will not be long until the number will be reduced to a mixi mum.
 Tt seems to me that the people of other states and the organizations which have been so prompt to offer assistance in relieving a situation which does not exist, should direct their attention to other sections. Alabama, as one southern state, does

 Sergeant Hanna told the master of the rolls that he had been in- structed by General McReady to give an understanding that, pending fi- nal hearing on the appeal, the sen. tences of death against Eagan and another prisoner named Higgins would not be executed.
 The master of the rolls. however, declined to listen to Sergeant Han ma. He declared the case represented deliberate contempt of court, unpre- cedented in the whole history of Brit ish law, and ordered the writs of at tachment issued.

 The statement pointed to successive reductions In rediscount rates by the federal reserve banks and added
 s''It will not have escaped attention that the rates of discount of the Bank of England have also been sue cessively reduced and that these re- duetions have been substantially coincident with the reduction of the federal reserve rates in this country This would appear to be a frank recognition of the intimate relation between the money markets in this country and of Europe. and recog- hilton as well of the improvement in world credit conditions.

 Financial District
By Associated Press

New York, July 29.--New York and Washington today in theory were bombed off the map, following in the wake of Norfolk, Newport News and Richmond. Philadelphia is due for a theoretical bombing Monday.
 The fate of the various cities was made known today by Brigadier General William Mitchell, assistant chief of army air service. when he stepped from his plane after leading three sauadrons of r bombers on an aerial attack" against New York. A simultaneous attack on Washington by 70 machines had been ordered.
 All these air raids are part of a war problem which army aviators are working out after having parti- cipated in the recent bombing of for mer German war craft off the vir- ginia Capes. The planes which made New Workers stare aloft had arrived here after coming up the coast from Langley field, Virginia, and leaving waste astern. After week-ending at Mineola air fields; they will start the week right by sweeping down on Philadelphia.
 seventy men were assigned to the New York attacking party Weather conditions were ideal for an air at tack The haze that hung over the land made observation of the planes flying at 5000 feet virtually impossi- ble and officers declared the planes could have bombed away without fear of successful counter-attack from anti-air craft guns on the ground.
 After the forts had been put out of action, the squadrons swooped down to 1000 feet and flew over Wall street The subtreasury was their chief target"
 Although curious New Workers never knew it, thousands of them were slain-always theoretically-and scarcely building was left standing in the financial district. The avia- tors declared they had opened the way for hostile force to steam into the harbor and seize the city.
