 BY SAFE BLOWERS
Secure Over $1,000 in Gads- den Pool Room Safe
 Cracking Job

Gadsden, February 27.-(speciaL) ) Safe blowers paid Gadsden visit some time Sunday night after mid night and made a very rich haul when they cracked the safe in the pool room of Ross Long on Sixth street, north, and got away with be- tween s1,ooo and s1.5oo worth of money and diamonds.
 The safe blowers got into the pool room through a basement door of the Queen theatre next door, and from the picture show room they broke down a wooden door and en- tered the pool room where they pro- ceeded to roll the safe from the front of the building to the rear and knocking off the combination with tools found in the store, poured ni- trogiycerine into the hole where the consAination was and taking the covers of the pool tables wrapped up the safe to prevent noise of the explosion from being heard.
 The robbers secured $7ee wortA of dienssnds, S1se In bfais and . lot of silver. besides several pistols, watches and . parse with a eoilee- ton of old and rare coins.
 There were $1,5oe in Liberty bonds and $1,70o worth of notes, some cot ton receipts and insurance papers but the safe blowers did not touch any of these. The burglary was no; discovered until this morning when the porter opened up for the day s business. The police have no clue to the robbers

CONVICT DEPARTMENT EMPL0YES WILL GET
 PAY CUT ON MARCH

Montgomery. February 77.-(Spe- ciaI)-Salaries of all persons con nceted with the state convict depart ment from the wardens of the various prisons downward have been cut 10 per cent, effective March 1. The cut will affect the wardens, deputy war dens guards and all persons em- ployed by the state at the various prisons in Alabama.
 Governor kilby today explained that wages of all persons connected with the industries similar to those operated by convict labor have been cut in recent months even a greater amount than 10 per cent, and that it has been necessary for the state to modify the prices obtained for con vict labor so as to keep the prices in line with the reductions made by em rloyers of free labor in similar ca pacities. In view of the fact that the earnings of the convict department had been reduced, the state believed it necessary to reduce tho cost of op- eration. Salaries in the main office of the department were not reduced IS this would necessitate changes in all clerical positions in the capitol.

The story thus far:
 Camille Westbrook has journeyed from London to South Africa with her little butterfly friend, Dolly Nor timer, who, has made the trip to join her husband at Johannesburg. Elliot Glyn is in love with Camille, but be- cause of his poverty does not feel justified in binding Camille to an en gagement. Camille has in her pos session a valuable ring which she has accepted as security for a loan to Reggie Van Tuyl, man-about- town. On shipboard, at a fancy dress dance. the ring was snatched from her by mysterious masked man but later she recovered it. She and Glyn are seeing the sights of Cape Town together.
 Glyn drew Camille on te the next flower stall. Here, sweet-scented africanus reared pretty heads from pails of water, and anemones of every shade, and flowers so strange in shape and color and perfume that Camille paused, entranced.
 Glyn bought great bunch of fra grant frangipanni for her.
 Don't thank me-" He handed the f1ower-seller a threepenny piece, and turned laughingly to Camille. You'll get tired of the sight of little silver coins before you leave this town 'Ticcies' are their stand-byw. a
 She buried her dainty nose in the mass of strange. sweet flowers.
 "Frangipanni What lovely name!" Then: What darling baskets I wonder what they cost?" Her eyes travelled to fruit stall.
 Glyn laughed again.
 They're given away with orange, and apples and grapes. You can SC in there and buy as much fruit a, you can carry away, for a shilling Two or three dozen oranges, basket included The natives make then by the hundred. Cost price, 10 for 5 farthing. I believe"
 They moved away.
 The shops were larger now, with big glass windows. And the stree was filled with hurrying folks, nearly half of whom were brightly dressed natives.
 They crossed a side street and s lump of sugar landed from above or Camille's blue hat. She raised hei eyes to behold Dolly and Co. on |
