WON'T DIE AND LEAVE WORK
japanese Mortality Rate Lower In
SiliSWorrn Season, 1t 10 Said, for
Remarkable Reason.

There are many reasons for death.
But 1t is a remarkable thing that dur
Ing the silkworm rearing time in the
silk districts, even the sickest people,
contrary to all expectation, do not die.
The rate of death among old people
and invalids in the silk regions dur
ing the busiest season is very low in
deed
What is the reason? Well, most of
these people unconsciously think.
"Well, if / die now, everything will
be very much upset because do not
finish my work, and if die, too will
be very much upset in the other world
because no one here will have time to
give me a good funeral and to see
that / am properly and comfortably
buried So / guess I had better live
just a bit longer" And remarkable
to relate they do go on living. The
will to live makes them bear the ills
of living and they do not die during
the growing season.
But after the transfer of the ma
tured silkworms to the cocoon beds,
for ten days there are people dying
everywhere. That is strange, too. But
really it is because the spirit no long
er holds them up. The excitement is
over and with rest comes death; the
time Of anxiety is over and the strain
is loosened and with the loosening
comes the end Of life.
In the silk regions there are not
many deaths in either the extremely
hot or the extremely cold times. But
just after the silkworms are trans
ferred to the cocoon beds, after the
strenuous days Of rearing them from
the egg are over, then they die like
flies in winter. 1t is alb matter of
spirit, or as some would call 1t,
"mind."-Japan Advertiser.

Pepxs Expert Shorthand Writer.

The most famous diary ever pub
lished was that of Samuei Pepys,
which was written in the Shelton sys-
tenn. In this diary Pepys gives a vivid
account of the great plague and the
great fire Of London, with many init
mate accounts Of the court OF King,
Charles II. Pepys was an expert
shorthand writer because he men,
tons in his diary that in April, 1880,
he attended the king, by command, at
Newmarket, and there "took down in
shorthand from his own mouth the
narrative of his escape from the bat
tie Of Worcester"
1t Is interesting to recall that
Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to his
friend Page, dated January %, 1854,
proposed that they should master
Shelton's system, the one used by
Pepys, SO that they might have some
thing which was unintelligible to any
one else He said: II will send you
some of these days Shelton's Tachy-
graphical alphabet and directions"

NON-UN|ON MINES
 BRIDGE DyNAM|TED
Span Led to New Field Opened
 Up By Rogers Recently

Unidentified persons early yesterday morning dynamited the bridge over the Warrior liver at Beltona. just com pleted by c, B. Rogers and associates, to serve the new mines just opened across the river from Beltona, accord ing to information from General Stein- CTS headquarters. No one was in- jured. as far as could be learned.
 Operations at the new Rogers mines. development of which began three weeks ago, will be interrupted until the bridge can be rebuilt.
 Warnings are reported to have been given that the bridge would be de- stroyed, and some feeling is said to have been expressed against the oper- ating company of the mines. MT. Rogers and his associates do not recognize the union.
 Until about month ago Mr. Rogers was interested in and managed the Bel tona mines. Sale of the properties al Beltona was made to Judge c. E. Teas ley of Montgomery at that time MT Teasley signed a contract with the United Mine Workers of America development Of coal lands across the river from Beltona. The construction of a bridge was necessary to reach the place with mining apparatus and rall- road cars.
 Although the destruction of the bridge has not been connected witf anyone. it Is reported that the warn ings came after MT. Rogers had failed to recognize the union

DENIES PETITION
 CHANGE 0F VENUE
Man Accused of Robbery Can Get Fair Trial Here, the
 Court Believes

Petition of Claude L.xsAnderson. in-
 dicted by the grand jury on charges of
 robbery. for change of venue was de-
 nied yesterday by Judge William E..
 Fort in the criminal division of the cir
 cult court
 Motion for the change was made on the
 grounds that he cannot obtain a fair and
 impartial trial in Jefferson county be-
 cause of the inflamed condition of the
 public mind against persons accused of
 that crime.
 It was alleged by Anderson that in
 view of the articles printed in the daily
 papers of Birmingham relative to the
 crime of which he is accused and of
 other similar crimes, it is impossible for
 him to obtain fair tral.
 Several witnesses testified that they had read the articles complained of and
 had heard persons advocating violence against those whom they believed guilty of such offenses. Those examined on be- half of the state testified that in their opinion the defendant can obtain fair and impartial trial in Jefferson county. as they had heard no discussion of the defendant or of the crime of which he is accused that would tend to show that the public was prejudiced.
 The petition for change of venue con- tained number of exhibits of articles which appeared in the daily papers about the time the offense of which the de- fendant is charged took place. It was alleged that these articles were calculat. ed to and did mold public sentiment against the defendant.
 B. M. Allen. attorney for Anderson, made a motion to quash the indictment against the defendant on the grounds oi the alleged fatal variances existing ir l the allegations of the different counts The motion alleged that in some counts i of. the indictment the name of the de ] fendant was alleged to be c. L. Ander- son. who is otherwise unknown to ths grand jurors,' whereas in other counts I his correct name is set out as beina l Claude l.. Anderson. This. according tt l the allegations. constitutes such va riance as to render invalid the indict l Yuent
