you wear them once, yet their price is no more
than the ordinary. We are showing them in
the latest Grays, Tans, Green mixtures, Blue
Serges and Blue Stripes. Before buying you
will do well to see this line. We will take

in the price for you to purchase a nice pair of
oxfords.

FOUR DIE ON GALLOWS.
First White Man to Be Hanged in
Alabama in Fifty Years.
Four men were hanged in the
county jail at Montgomery. Two of
them, Walter Jcnes and Arnold Gil
mer, were white men, the first of
their race in fifty years to die on
the gallows in Alabama.
Jones, once a wealthy planter and
prominent in social and political af
fairs of Lowndes county, paid the
penalty for shooting Sloan Rowan, a
wealthy neighbor. His life ended one
of the most sensational careers in
Alabama history—a career which in
cluded the record of several killings
and the story of degeneracy from
high estate.
Arnold Gilmer died for the mur-
der~of 'Mrs. "Lucile Tippetts, li white
woman, whom he killed in a drunken
frenzy.
The two negroes hanged were John
Adams and Coleman German. Adams
killed Policeman Berry in Montgom
ery more than three years ago. His
case is one of the most remarkable in
the state’s legal annals. Lawyers
appointed by the court to his defense
fought the case bitterly, taking it to
the supreme court three times and ob
taining two reversals on technicali
ties. Out of the reversals was pre
cipitated a bitter fight on the system
of legal procedure permitting such de
lays. German killed a negro woman.

bles as Revealed to Blind Girl.
Helen Keller, who made her debut
as a lecturer at New York at the
Forty-eighth street theater, declares
that she can read character in the
grasp of a hand.
“I have held the hand of Phillips
Brooks. It meant a benediction.
“Joseph Jefferson’s grasp bespoke
tenderness and pleading.
“Ellen Terry’s hand was virile and
masculine.
“Henry Irving’s grasp indicated
graciousness.
“Edward Everett Hale’s hand ex
panded with kindliness and good will.
“Mark Twain had a hand that was
full of funny lines.
“It is because I grasp so many
kindly hands that I am an optimist.”
Crackers Played Scouts.
Last Saturday afternoon at the
Athletic Park the Crackers played

Box Car Hits Auto
Dr. li. P. Adams narrowly es
caped being killed or seriously
injured at a late hour ’Tuesday
night* when a shifting Gulf Line
freight train collided with his au
tomobile on the western edge of
town.
The crossing at which the acci
dent occurred was in bad condi
tion and the doctor had thrown
his car in low gear and was just
mounting the tracks when he dis
covered the freight cars clearing
some houses which cut off the
view near the crossing. With
remarkable presence of mind he
threw the car in reverse gear and
had almost cleared the tracks
when the corner of the box car
struck the radiator and fefnder of
the automobile, jamming it into
tlie side of the cut. The doctor
emerged from the wreck slightly
excited but not seriously injured.
