the Ensley of 1899. when the Bank
of Ensley opened its doors to COM
merce on the seven seas. But it is
even so.
Has Seen Great Events.
The Bank of Ensley has seen the
Ensley steel rail indicated and be-
come the standard of nation. 1t
has seen great plate mills arise and
manufacture the shapes that have
gone into ships that carry other Ems
ley products the world over. 1t has
seen the most modern steel car work s
in the country constructed and con-
tinue at capacity since 1t began oper-
atoms. 1t has seen model homes for
workln gmen, black and white. dot the
landscape. and model industrial home
villages arise.
The Bank of Ensley has grown as
Ensley has grown, as Possum Valley
has fiourished and shipped her prod
ucts over the known world, spread
ing the fame and AIDING to the trade
prestige of beloved Alabama. 1t has
grown with the men who have made
Ensley, and. in making Enslcy made
themselves. More and more Glossy its
life blood and that of the steel City"
have come to flow in the same chan
mel.
Each year has brought new depar-
lures in the finished steel business
ut Ensley and added to Ensley wealth
and prosperity. Each year the Bank
of Ensley has had more Gepositors,
and these depositors have placed more
money in the Bank of Ensley. Each
year the interests of Ensley and the
Bank of Ensley have become more
and more identical. 1t is the pride of
the Bank of Ensley that it has kept
the pace.

Mills at 100 Per Cent.
All the Ensley mills are at 100 per
cent of producing capacity. There is
unprecedented activity in the build

of Ensleys own in their own shines
with an undimmed light, because they
know that as the Ensley of today is a
dream compared with the Ensley of
1899, so the Ensley of future decades
will be greater dreams than ever

CLEMENCY APPEALS
FAIL TO SAVE LIFE
OF MOVIE ELEPHANT
Governor of California Will
Not Stay Sentence"
of Man-kilier.
RY l. G. OWEN

Copyright, by the San Antonio Light
Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 1.-Gover-
nor Friend Richardson, CALIFORNIA;
quaker chief executive, will not ex-
tend executive clemency to "Charlie"
huge man killing elephant owned by
a big movie producing company near
Hollywood and now under sentence
of, death. Neither will the governor
write an official letter recommending
that the condemned pachyderm's life
be spared so long as he remains on
good behavior.
And so the telegraphed appeal to
Al G.. Barnes. veteran circus man
that Charles" life be spared will
go for naught and sometime during
the next few days, if movie company
plans are carried out, the elephant
will be fed a few spoonfuls of
cyanide of potassium. Shortly there
after he is expected to shuttle off
his mortal coil.
"Charlie" has been too bad an
elephant for the governor to inter-
fere. Too many times he has gone
on wild rampages that resulted in
the destruction of thousands ~ dol
lars worth of property and do i'm
perilled at different times the lives
of hundreds of people. Now that he
has turned upon the only man who
has been able to do anything with
him, his fate is sealed and he must
pay the penalty of being a killer.
"Charlie" is 80 years old. He is
charged with having snuffed out the
lives of two trainers and with hav-
ing attacked three others SO vicious
ly that their lives were despaired of.
The last attack occurred several
weeks ago when "Charlie" turned sud-
denly on "Curly" Ste, her. for whom
he had long evinced the utmost
friepdliness. and after charging and
trampling ~Curly" he threw the man
more than so feet. The movie COM
pany then announced they would put
Charlie" to death il Curly" died.
The trainer is recovering, but
Charlie" has become so vicious that
he is kept chained by all four feet
to posts driven 20 feet in the ground
and can be fed only at the end of q
pitchfork. The appeal of Barnes for
Charles" life was backed by sew
eral hundred others from persons
who thought putting the elephant to
death would be inhumane and cruel.
However, these appeals have saved
him from being shot. The film
company planned to kill him with
steel bullets as a part of jungle
scene. State humane authorities
halted that plan on the ground that
the beast might be neediessly tortured
by bullets that failed to strike a
vital spot.
