 One day they. went out into their chicken yard and in looking around they were shocked to see huge rattle snake lying there dead. They exam ined the snake and found protruding from it's mouth the feet and enormous spurs of the old rooster.
 The snake had attempted to swallow the old bird and in some way it's feet got crossed and the long spurs, which measure about two and one-half inches, would not allow the snake to finish swallowing his victim.
 The snake measured seven feet and ten inches long and had 28 rattles on it.

ClJLLMAN WANTS
 EAST-WEST ROAD
Commissioners -Oppos e North And South High
 way For Tourists

CULLMAN, Ala, April 21.-(Spe- eial. Resolutions have been passed by the county commissioners of Cullmsn county indorsing an east and west road in Cullman county as the next state project, rather than the Bee Line high way north and south.
 The resolutions in part adopted by the Cullman county commissioners are {;
 sWhereas, in 1923, committee com posed of +. J. Cramton, Thomas E. Orr and W.S Keller, representing the state highway commission of Alabama, came to Cullman county and met the county commissioners and the probate judge of said Cullman county, and the committee and commissioners court en- tered into certain agreement whereby Cullman county was to build road north of the new bridge at Garden City, connecting with the Bee Line highway, and in consideration for the building of this road by Cullman county, the next work that was to be done in Cullman county by the state highway commission was to be the building of highway from the city of Cullman to the Marshall county line; and,
 Whereas, the county of Cullman complied with said contract and the county commissioners are informed that the state highway commission is now contemplating the building of road north and south through Cullman i; and,
 Whereas, the county commissioners court is opposed to the spending of the money on the north and south road when there is now a good road and will remain good with necessary repairs for many years to come.
 Therefore, be it resolved by the commissioner court that. it is very much opposed to the spending of the peoples money on the Bee Line high way, making road for tourists, when the conditions are so bad east and west of the railroad, and the said commis- sioners do hereby request and insist that the state highway commission of Alabama keep faith with the people who voted the bond issue. and also keep faith with the commissioners court wherein said commission promised that the second project in this county would be the road built east and west.

 The case was prosecuted by N. E. Stallworth, Charles Tompkins repre- senting the defendant. Only Werneth and Jacobson testified.
 Jacobson testimony, in substance fol- lows:
 'I saw Werneth Tn his cafe, the River Front Cafe on Commerce street, after I had testified before the federal grand jury that I had bought two half pints of white lightning of Werneth about 'etwo years ago. Werneth told me he would have me prosecuted by Bart Chamberlain az I was just as guilty as he was and that it was against the Alabama law to buy liquor A ... sA ke All
 "I.ater I saw him again and he asked me to help him out and tell him that I bought the 'shinny' of a negro. | told him I would.

At San Francisco---le2o

THE Tammany Braves, led by Charles
 \ F. Murphy, donncd their war paint the 1920 democratic convention in Ex- position auditorium, San Francisco. If the westerners harbored any notions about oyer-riding gentle representatives of the effete east, they must have been effectively dispelled when Tammany staged merry little fracas right at the outset of the convention.
 Deep down in the hearts of the great ma jority of the delegates lived the image of Woodrow Wilson, who, in the opinion. of Brainbridge Colby and some others, could have been nominated by exclamation, at any period of the proceedings had he so desired. Wilson was the star whose light guided the wise men to the League of Nations cradle. e.35 ss
 ! As mark of respect for their leader, the delegates conducted a cheering, procession around the auditorium. The standard of every state save New York, was in line, for
