munity entered upon the fifth day
following Thursdays massacre. 1t
would be stretching the truth to say
the county has returned to normal
Its nerves are still on edge. Men
gather on the streets in little groups
and talk in lowered voices. Sullen
glances are bestowed on out of town
newspaper men by idlers and many of
the foreign born.
Discussion of the injustice of the
newspapers is the principal topic of
conversation. Herrin is aggrieVed and
quite sincere about it.

Marion "Views With Pride"
And the little devils of local pride
and jealousy and recrimination are
rampant. Marion just about as far
from the wrecked Lester mine as
Herrin, plumes itself virtuously and
commiserates with Herrin.
It'll take you twenty years to live
this down" residents of Marion say to
men of Herrin.
And the Herrin men are angry. Just
as many Marion men as Herrinites in
that mob, they declare.
Whatever the facts of the outbreak
and the true facts, locked in the
breasts of several hundred men. will
probably never be altogether known
outside the county-wnatever the
facts. Herrin would like TO share the
blame.
1t is true that Herrin is a pretty
town. 1t has paved streets and street
lamps. well kept lawns and trees with
whitewashed trunks. 1t has good

ably it is true it is no guiltier than its
neighbors.

something in the matter of lifting it

The American Automobile association took an active part in supporting the Dyer Anti-Theft bill, which was prepared by Representa- tive L. c. Dyer of Missouri, who Is an active member of the Automobile Club of Missouri, and who WEE es- sisted in obtaining facts necessary tor the preparation of this measure by the Automobile Club of Missouri and the A. A. A.
 Any doubt as to the need for such a measure is dissipated by the pre- sentation of the above figures which show a material reduction in the per- centage of motor cars stolen since the law went into effect.
 Credit to Burns
 Credit for the enforcement of this law, which has resulted in such a large percentage of arrests, is large ly due to William J. Burns, head of the bureau of investigations, depart ment of justice MT. Burns has given especial attention to automobile thefts, realizing the extent of this industry, for it had become an ln- dustry, and has placed some of his best operatives on these cases.
 The outstanding feature of the Dyer law is the fact that 1t places Interstate transportation of stolen motor vehicles under federal law and makes such an action punishable in federal courts. Before the passage of this act there had been built up a great and growing traffic In stolen motor vehicles, conducted by bands of interruptions men who maintained assembling factories at various points and who, through their ability to transpose parts of various machines, one to the other, were able to so alter a stolen car as to make it prac-

Fishermen'S and Hunters Club Planned
 At TaIIadega Soon

Sylacauga, July 2s.-(special.) = Plans for the formation of Fisn- ermen's and Hunters club in syla- causa are being rapidly carried out and 1t Is expected that full-fledged club will be In existence here before the end of the coming week. Several members of the Alabama Fishermsn's and Hunters association of BirminG- ham appeared before the Sylacauga Exchange club last week and urged the formation of the club here.
 Among those from Birmingham were: w. c. Oliver. president of tho Alabama Fishermens and Hunter g association; John M. Goudelock and J. H. McCollister, secretary of the association.
 The club here will more than like ly be affiliated with the state as- sociation.

all the solid acreage and some of the interplanted for market.
 Sugar cane is promising the usual yield in the south half of the state, but sorghum in the north part seems to have received some backset In growth Growers of sugar cane. especially those who failed to sell their full output last year, are be- ginning to wonder whether this crop does not offer splendid field for cooperative marketing.
 Leguminous Crops
 Peas and beans are seen in good majority of the corn fields, and many open fields. have been sown broadcast to legumes. The latter may yield good supplies of hay, while the for mer may be either picked for the seed or hogged off All of them will add further to the soil improvement problems of the farmers.
 Live stock prices are at least en- couraglng, and will probably bring out the best efforts of growers to offer a good supply of fat hogs and cattle this fall and next spring.
 Altogether Alabama farmers are not in any danger of going hungry next year, though they may have to buy some corn; they are also en- couraged to hope for more cash than they have had in some years past

MARGARET EARLE

Clavering laid down Glendening's story and looked at his comp nions, Davis was silent. By unspoken agreement the two lawyers looked to Dr. Milton.
 On the doctors face disgust was written large.
 Harry Glendening may be a good magazine editor," he remarked. but he is a damned poor specimen of man."
 T am not so sure" urged Claver- ing. There are plenty such men in the world; men who, while not caring particularly for their friends, do care immeasurably for the society o1 their friends. You find such men .n.many walks of life. Perhaps actors, ar lists and writers form the largest part of this class. Perhaps this is because they have more leisure for the education of their emotions"
 You are right. Jim" Dr. Milton declared. What Glendening need: is year or two of hard work. He has lost his perspective. Mon f his type must always have some one about them who will defer to their opinions and flatter their egos Such personalities are interesting, but dan gerousN to society"
 Harry Glendening fairly hates his own society. He Is always looking for some one to share his solitude. Up to date he has always been able to find some woman who would flat ter him into believing that the world after all is his oyster.
 Every one, you know, Milt. must move in some direction-either straight or off at tangent. Harry Glendening started in to educn.e his emotions the day he saw that little s-year-old girl in school of whom he tells in his letter to me- And today his own emotions have become the most important things in all the world to him.
 "He has never become absorbed in business. He Is not particularly ann bilious, and his work--judging stories in which the love and romans tic interest are paramount-has helped to form his character and shape his temperament.

Prices, however, are much lower for early stock and growers are slow about digging. hoping for settlement of railroad strike and other more Savor- able economic conditions.
 Record Market
 watermelon shipments continue heavy, more than 1,250 cars having moved from the state for the season. Only 600 cars were reported for the same date a year ago. The total shipments for 1921 were 1,4s6 cars. If the present shipping average keeps up the Alabama movement for 1922 will pass the 2,50o mark. The Georgia shipments are falling off as compared with the movement in that state a year ago. Prices have declined during the past week, and buyers have been holding off on &C., count of railroad situation. Large melons of good quality. 2S to 80 pounds, are in fair demand. ranging in price, cash track to growers, from $125 to S200 per car; 26 pounds. $75 to $100 per car. Hundreds of. small, off grade melons or culls, are to be seen In the fields of south Alabama, which Will be fed to hogs or left in the fields to rot. Weather conditions were responsible for poor quality melons this season. and many of the growers did not prune their vines sufficiently. There will likely be a considerable reduction in acreage another season. and growers who raise melons for market will give greater care to selection of seed and soil preparation. and more particu- Tar attention to quality and size. Not only has tho weather damage Injured the sale, but the unsettled railroad conditions have made 1t harder on the shippers of melons this season
 Alabama shipments of canteloupes only show a movement of six cars for the season, while Georgia shows movement of 1.614 cars. Alabama has neglected this crop. which often- times markets to better advantage than watermelons."

"The American Beauty" passed a group of young men In n hotel lobby. pr. George Milton, n distinguished physician, overheard them say that she was the cause of the GIendening divorce suit. He Is intensely inter ested, as the case affects him person. ally. At his club Dr. Milton meets two close friends, John Davis, attOr- ney for Mrs. Glendening, and James CIavering, attorney for Harry Glen dening. The conversation drifted to the divorce case. The two lawyers were surprised to learn that Dr. Mil- ton knew anything about the Glen dening case. Davis shrewdly guessed that the doctor knew the real woman in the cnse. He was convinced the "American Beauty" was a blind. He proposed that he tell Mrs. Glenden- ing's side and CIavering, her hus- bands story. hoping this would bring from the doctor the name of the real woman in the case. Clnvering Is reading a story GIendening has writ- ten of his life. He tells how he and his wife drffted apart. He then grew interested in n fine woman named Margaret Earle. She reciprocated his love. He proposed that they elope. Margaret suggested he go away and see if, at the end of two weeks. he shall love her. GIendening describes his meeting with Mrs. Claire Adams, the American Beauty. Enmeshed in his affair with the American Beauty, Glendening finds himself married to one woman and loving two others for different qualities. He cannot sec his way out. Margaret arrives r,nex- pectedly. G1endening tells her the whole story of his fnfntuation with the American Beauty.

TWO-YEAR COURSE
 ADDED AT AUBURN.
Practical Agricultural Engi- neering Will Be Part of
 Curriculum

Auburn, July -(Specia1.)-- ginning with the session of 1s22-23 Auburn will offer a special two- year course in practical agricultural engineering. Announcement to this effect was made today by Profs. M. L. Nichols and John W. Randolph of the department of agricultural engineer ing. who state that its purpose will be to train men to become salesmen, service men. operators. demonstrators and dealers in the various kinds of farm machinery, including tractors, automobiles, planters. cultivators, water systems, dairy equipment, farm buildings. farm machinery and other farm equipment.
 Demands Growing
 A course of this kind has been made necessary by the rapid increase in the amount of farm machinery used on farms and the great demand from the farmers for practical in- formation and assistance in operat ing such machinery. The require ments for entrance will be the same as the requirements for other spe cial courses which do not require as many units as are necessary for entrance to regular courses.
 From tractor dealers, garages, hardware merchants and domestic equipment concerns numerous re- quests have been received at Auburn fer trained men to fill different po- sitions. Recently some of those who have had only one year In agricul- tural engineering have gone out as service men, machinists. or to oper- ate garages for themselves. Most of the students who took the one- year course were disabled soldiers being trained by the government, several more of whom will soon be ready to accept positions in diff fnrant lInaa
