THREE NEGROES ID
 HANG IN TALLADEGA
Those Given Death Penalty to Be Executed July 2 Unless
 Appeal Is Taken

Anniston, May 2s.--(Special) )-Three alleged murderers were sentenced to be hanged in Talladega county during the week, Teague Cunningham, Will Hill and John Keith, all negroes, be- ing convicted by juries which served before Judge S, w. Tate of this city, an interesting feature of the week s court work in Talladega county being the fact that 2S convictions were se- cured, five pleas of guilty were en- tered and only one man was acquitted of the charges against him.
 Frank Adams, an old negro, charged with operating an Illicit distillery, had no lawyer to defend him at his trial, and as his case was handled from the bench by Judge Tate who acted only to afford a fair trial for the negro, proved to the jury that he was not guilty of the charge against him.
 Judge Tate and Court Reporter Ben Dorman returned to Anniston Saturday and reported that the civil docket of the Talladega court would be taken up Monday and continue two weeks.
 The three negroes who received the death penalty will be hanged in the Talladega county jail on July 9 unless their cases are carried to the higher courts on appeal. Cunningham killed Officer Eugene Hobbs in Talladega last winter; Will Hill killed negro woman, and John Keith was convicted of killing, robbing and burning an old negro in the same county few months ago

ATHENS COLLEGE HAS NAME CHANGED TO
 RIVERS ACADEMY

Athens, May 2S.-(special. )--One of the most important actions taken by the board of trustees at their annual meeting was the changing of the name of Athens College academy. Nothing could be more fitting for the new name than Rivers academy" in honor of the first president of the school, whose patient work and inspiration placed it on firm foundation in the educational field of Alabama. Dr. Riv- CTS was a pioneer in the cause of christian education for young women, and the naming of the academy after him is a tribute he well deserved.
 Thus it happened that the class which graduated on Tuesday morning was the last class to go out from the Athens College academy. Miss Bessie Faust of Tuscaloosa, as class represen- tative, made a most interesting, clever talk on Canned Goods,' which was quite unusual in that only once did she mention the things that one is accus- toned to think of In this connection. Miss Faust expressed the idea that people of the present day are having so much done for them beforehand that they are III udHBeT or lH- stead of progressing. Canned Lec- lures" and Canned Pictures" were a few of the things mentioned In the talk.
 This speech was followed by an ad- dress given by Miss Nal Allen, fac ulty representative. Helpful ideas as well as ideals were set forth to the class as aids in their ensuing lines of work, whether it be college or busi- ness life. At the close of this talk Dr. B. T. Waites of Birming gham de- livered the graduation address to tho class Humor, wit, and interesting H. lustrations of facts presented were found in his talk on Preparation, the Keynote of Success"
 Announcements, awarding of diplo- mas and honor certificates marked the close of the exercises. Following were the graduates: Malvina Hammerly Allen, Winner Geraldine Carter, Eliz- abeth Faust, Henrietta Knox, Marjorie Lucas, Susan Elizabeth Malone, Ethel Harrington Mcconnell. Ida Belle Por- ter, Vernie Bertrace Puryear, Lena Irene Stewart, Johnnie Marie Tune, Myrtle Anna Yarbrough.

Reddin of Denver announced that the Knights of Columbus would launch a movement to produce a new American history written by eminent historians at an estimated cost of S1,- 500,000.
 Much so-called American history Is un-American," Edward F. McSweeney of Boston declared in an address be- fore the first historical convention of the Knights of Columbus assembly, because the historians were working in the interests of foreign countries.
 The aim of the Knights of Columbus, he said, was to produce a standard his tory by recognized authorities ire spective of race or religious differ enceS.

$S6, 1927.
Recently the selectmen advertised
for bids on the work, for which the
town has appropriated $S5,000 but all
those received were In excess Of the
appropriation which the state high
way department had est mated was
sufficient. Acting upon the advice Of
the highway commissioner the bids
were rejected and the contract was re.
advert sed.
The second lot of bids were opened
by the selectmen Wednesday after.

the contract to the Ley company.
There is apparently now no reason
why work on the road should not soon
be in progress. 1t has taken some
me TO reach definite position IN re-
gard to the work but the delay has
been due to conditions that have pre-
vailed since the war and which have
not yet changed so much as they
might since the armisCce was signed.
The selectmen have put a large
amount OF time and much hard work
in carry ne along the wish of the vot-
ers oXDressed at the annual meeting

ance and advice of the original COM
mittee that was largely responsible
for the proposal consisting Of Harrie

ded assurance that the federal aid
