SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITOL
lState Canltal Bhrea.ul )

MONTGOMERY, AIa., July B. The sword of Colonel Egbert Jones, who commanded the historic Fourth Alabama infantry in the Confederate army, was received Monday by the state department of, archives and his- tory. The sword was donated by Prof William H. .Echols of the University of Virginia. Colonel Jones served in the Mexican war and in the Civil war and fell at. the head of the Fourth Ala bama at Manassas, heading the charge which is credited with having turned the tide of battle. His sword was broken in two and the scabbard bad ly bent.
 A remarkable instance of African af- lection was demonstrated before the state pardon board at it's regular meet ing today, when a negro woman ans wering the name of Nancy appeared be- fore the board to urge clemency for Charlie Jones, Montgomery county negro convict. Nancy proved to be a woman of large proportions and large sentiments and offered in evidence a mass of love letters from Charlie, whom she had not met prior to his being put in the penitentiary. The woman looked around 45 years of age and her in carcerated skeik is about 21. He was convicted of statutory offense on three charges and given 60 years in one case, 10 to 25 years on another and 25 years on a third. It is believed that the prospect of a realization of the romance presented to the board is very remote.

 Correct Clothes To The Obligation Of Every Occasion
The Snort.Wrist Shirt

A S welcome as the postman's whis, r A tie oh remittance day is cool
 summer shirt. He, whose memory stretches back to the "hard-boiled" shirt of our youth that sheathed us like a coat-of-mail, will appreciate the As- founding advance in shirt-making which has taken place during the last few years. Not only have suitable and comfortable materials been introduced for the various seasons; not only have shirts taken on all the twinkling colors of 5eravats, but collars and sleeves, the Nde aids to comfort, have been i'm provedI with every artistry of inge- nuity.
 The first important development in shirts; was to cut them of soft fabrics devoid of starch. The second was to make them with collars attached. The third was to drop stiff single cuffs, substituting the unstarched double or French cuffs. Then, shirts were draft ed to be form-fitting, instead of bag shape, so that they would not wrinkle like a raisin across the bosom or bunch under the arms. After that the. skirts were narrowed and clipped more trim to take up less room. All in all, the latter-day shirt not only envelopes the figure, but embellishes it and plays no negligible part in making a man both comfortably and snartly dressed.
 If you choose your shirts with more than common care, you will fancy the type pictured here. Cut of almost any light, cool, soft-laundering material

HOWE WILL BE LOST TO AUBURN
Star Punter Will Coach At Anniston Military
 Academy

AUBURN, Ala, July 8.-News has just reached-the village that Fox Howe, of Montgomery, bunting ace and star back on the 1923 Tiger football team, will not return to the fold this fall but will be located at Anniston as coach of the Anniston Military academy.
 Howe received his B s in agricul- ture in the spring of 1923, but re- turned in September to take up grad uate work and incidentally had his best year on the gridiron. His punt ing for the Plainsmen was big factor last season as he was outdistanced by no opponent during the campaign. He also won a numeral for service on the girdiron during the 1921 and 1922 campaigns. In 1921 he was a member of the basketball team and won a let ter in that sport. Howe also played baseball while at Auburn though he never became a regular for the Tigers.
 It was hoped that Howe with his heavy artillery toe would return and play his final season with the Plains men but instead he has chosen to coach rather than for further service with the followers of the pigskin.
