CARELESS NEGRO NEARLY KILLS WOMAN WITH GUN

Providence, who cares for the blind can be thanked by Martha Smith negress, Second alley between Thir- teenth and Fourteenth street, who has been blind since infancy, for her life, she having been missed by death, swift and sure, in the form of a pistol bullet by only a fraction of an inch, while sitting in a chair within her humble abode at o'clock Friday afternoon.
 So close did the bullet come to the head of the helpless woman tha, a braid of her hair, plaited after the fashion prevalent among negro wom- en, was shorn from her scalp, al though she escaped with only mino. burn.
 As Martha was sitting musinS over the thoughts transient in her mind Berry Daniels. negro, living directly opposite her was sitting on his porch displaying before a crowd of interest ed negroes, a brand new 3S-calibre pistol. Daniels began cleaning his treasured weapon and upon comple- tion of the task, pointed it towards Martha's residence and pulled tne trigger, forgetful he claims, of the fact that six bullets, each missile carrying death within its wake, were still in the gun. The bullet from the fired cartridge crashed through the window pane of Martha's house, talk ing with it the braid of hair. and lodged in the wall immediately be- hind the woman
 Martha, upon learning of what had happened. requested Detectives w. P. Elledge and J. T. Moser not to arrest the boy as she expressed the opinion that he was merely careless, and de- clared that she had forgiven him for his utter disregard for the lives and safety of neighboring residents.
 The officers viewed the situation from different angle and incarcer- ated the negro in the city jail. He will be tried before Judge Henry Martin this morning on a charge of having discharged fire arms with in the city limits.

SOME SCALES WEIGH WEIGHT AWAY WHILE OTHERS SBETOKEN FAT

She was sweet looking young thing as she stepped on the scales. The hand of the weighing machine travelled around the dial. She watched. Her eyes distended and her mouth contracted into an "o' of won der.
 Two hundred pounds! Impossible" Why yesterday I weighed only 11o.'
 With a worried expression mar ring her countenance she hurried 10 the next corner where another pair or scales awaited a weigh. She stepped on-smiles chased the frowns away.
 "Oooo," she cooed, "So. that's better, I'm reducing"
 Behind her numbered robust man. Beauty a weighing intrigued him and as the sweet young thing stepped off he stepped on.
 Again the scales registered and again the hand stopped at S5, but she was gone and she didn't know.
 Thus was begun scale testing ex- pedition which resulted in finding two that overweighed. The generous weight marker registered at 200 when one weighing 165 pounds stood on the front of the platform and dropped back to normal as he moved nearer the edge. One of the under weght scales was exceedingly stingy. The heaviest man could coax but 85 pounds from It. The other had the same tenacity of purpose but per- mitted one to weigh as much as 120 pounds.

$8,823, SOUTHERN NET INCOME FOR YEAR,
 SHOWING BIG INCREASE

The Southern railway reports a net income after charges and taxes for 1922 of $s.S23.796, which is equivalent to s4.S5 per share on the 1,2o0o0 shares of common stock after allowing a full per cent divi- dend on the preferred stock.
 The present year has started off with stedy increase in revenues, January to show s2,0oo,o0o better than January, 1922.
 Speaking of this showing the Wall Street Journal says
 Excellent showing was primarily due to material reduction in operat- ing expenses. Although gross busi- ness was about s200,000 less than in 1921, operating expenses were cut $S,65s,S74. or SIS per cent from S105, 1929, 007 to s97.170.133, Follow ing the strikes the rejuvenation of the south through advance ill cot ton was reflected in increased ship ments of all commodities. It is goods purchased by the south with money obtained for cotton that produces profitable revenue for Southern.

An effort will be made to have the city council of Bessemer apply to the Alabama public service commission for a reduction in water rates, agi- tation to this end having been start ed this week. Several prominent civic leaders have become interested in the movement to have an appeal made to the commission In an effort to have the water rate reduced, and there has been considerable discus- sion of the matter during the past several days.

Several years ago the city attempted to buy the water works plant. the negotiations falling through and at that time it was un- derstood that the city intended ask ing for a reduction in rates.
 City officials stated at that time that they would not carry their ap- peal for reduction in rates to the public service commission until the new board had been installed in of flee. Now, that the board is in, it is felt that this is teh time to reopen the matter.
 In commenting on the needs for reduction in water rate at Besse- mer. Hugh McNaily, president of the Rotary club said: "Bessemer should have asked the public service com mission to grant a reduction in wa ter rates sometime ago l am espe- eial1y anxious that no further time be lost in bringing the matter to the attention of the new commission and feel certain that a substantial re- duetion in rates will be granted" Gordon Vail, president of the Xii wanis club stated: Pm sure if an appeal is made to the public service commission at this time, the water late of Bessemer will be greatly re- duced. Personally. l will aid any concerted movement in this direc- tion.' R. P. McTyiere, mayor. is de- cidedly in favor of going after a re- duction in water rates., He says: e'Compared with water rates of oth- CT cities, our rate in Bessemer is ab- surd. 1 am in favor of the city talk
