DEMPSIE SHOT TO DEATH
ATTEMPTING TO ESCAPE.
Convict Guard at Pittsburg, Ala.,
Kills Prather Dempsie While
Attempting to Escape.
Prather Dempsie, the young
white man, convicted of murder in
March term of Newton Superior
court, is dead.
Dempsie was shot by a guard in
a convict camp while in an attempt
to escape.
Dempsie was convicted last
March of the murder of Marvin
Ellison, a young white man, at a
ginnery in the Western part of this
c >unty. The jurv recommended
him to the mercy of the court, and
he was sentenced by Judge Roan
to life imprisonment at hard labor.
Dempsie was at work at the time
of his death in a coal mine at Pitts¬
burg, Ala.
Covington’s New E. L. Plant.
Many comments have been made
recently in regard to the new
."lant, concerning its installation
operation and in view of this fact
we are endeaveritig to show you
what the city has.
Today Covington can well boast
of the fact that she is far in ad¬
vance of any city of its size, she
has behind it, fathers who have
the peoples interest in mind and
who realize the advancements
made and the consequent necessity
of keeping pace with these wide
awake folks.
The Elec. Light Plant is without
a doubt the finest and most mod¬
ern equipped in the State.
The whole object is to give its
customers Light at a minimum
rate and this cau only be done by
reducing the cost of development
aud continued expense of operation
under the head ot cost of develop¬
ment is the fuel consumed, oil used
and wages during the course of a
run.
Under the expense of operation
is the maintenance of lines and
the necessary extensions and im¬
provements.
These two expenses car. only be
reduced by installing machinery
by a trifle more first cost to take
care of these tracks.
It is to tho Citys regret now that
she did not look into those items
before and avoid having to under¬
go what she has.
The boilers, the fuel consumer
is of the best type water tube made.
The Sterling Boiler Co. of Barber¬
ton, Ohio, have, three years of ex¬
perience in the manufacture of
boilers, perfected themselves and
can well boast, without a question
that they manufacture a boiler
that will show the purchaser more
horsepower developed per ton of
coal than any boiler on the mar¬
ket, this tact alone places the
Sterling Boiler Co. prominent
among boiler makers.
The Lane & Bradley Co., have
placed for the city an engine whose
steam consumption is at a mini
mum#
the , ant ,
The details of p ia -
tei be left out rather t tan ore jon
with what can be seen by a s or
visit. In shoit it is somet In ^ •
that every Covingtonite may " e
be proud of. And it is a monument,
marking the untiring efforts o t ie
present mayor and council, and
who in years to come may bok
back with a glad eye and say, I
did it.
Arcanum’s New Rates Peculiar.
Louisville, Sept. 28 — Members
of Clark Council, No. 1,216, Royal
Arcanum, of Jeffersonville have
been doing considerable figuring
on the new rates that go into ef¬
fect on Oct. 1, and they assert that
some peculiar things have been
found, says the Courier-Journal.

WILL SING AT STATE FAIR.
Newton-in LiH^c With Other
Count f Enthusiasm Mani
festeted Monday.
A most interesting and enthus¬
iastic meeting of the Newton
county Chorus was held in the
Presbyterian church Monday ty orn
ing at 1 # o’clock.
Prof. McCullough was elected
leader and Prof. Piper, alternate,
Mrs. J. W. Branham and Miss
Marie Evans as organist.
I'iie songs selected by the Com¬
mittee to sing at the State Fair
on thv 18th are found in P.evival
No 4, numbers 105 and 1G4.
Next meeting is called for Mon¬
day, the 9th at the Presbyterian
church and all singers in the county
have a special invitation to be
present.
New Plant a Success.
The new electric plant made its
tirst run Friday night which was
satisfactory in every particular.
The plant is entirely new and the
eugine and boilers are the best
made. The plant is erected at a
cost of about $7,000.
Are lights will be put on as soon
as the new switch board arrives,
which is expected every day.
Farmers Meet Today.
Newton county division of the
Southern Cotton Association will
meet in the court house today for
the purpose of electing officers and
laying plans for a campaign this
fall.
An effort will be made at once to
organize each district in the
county.
ed last May and confirmed a few
days ago, it is found that in many
instances between twenty-six years
and fifty four it is considerably
cheaper to join the order now than
previously. From fifty-four until
sixty-five, however, the rates in¬
crease so rapidly that toward the
latter part they are almost pro¬
hibitory.
Tha lack of a system in adjust¬
ing the rate is said to be noticeable
For a person who lias reached the
age of forty-seven the old rate on
$3,000 was $52.98 a year, while
under the readjustment it is$49.82
or $3.GO less a year. The old rate
for forty-eight years was $ 02 . 10 ,
while under the new it is $51.48,
which is $1.50 less than the old
rate at forty-seven or $16.68 less
than the rate now expiring. At
the age of fifty-two, under tho old
rate, the annual assessment was
$75.60, which has been changed to
$G 0 48 or $15.12 less. The rate
for those at fifty-three was for¬
merly $79.92 a year, but is now
$63 or $16 92 lower than before.
The rate on $1,000 is proportion¬
ately less on all ages.
A peculiar question has present
itself in an amendment to the
general laws of the order, which
^£ ve3 ^ho privilege to a member
w |j 0 ^as re a C lied the age of sixty
f\ ve p a y on e-li a lr of his assess
uien t, ) the order advancing the
(ja j ance ^ charging 4 per cent, oom
U()a i n te r est until time for pay¬
ment of the benefit certificate. On
$ 3,000 the annual rate at the age
of sixty-five is $192.96, one half of
which would be $96.48, which the
order would assume at 4 per cent,
compound interest. In ten years
this would amount to something
like $1,500. If the member lapse
at the end of ten years the question
is whether he w’ould be indebted to
the order the $1,500, and whether
this $1,500 would stand as a claim
against his estate, if he should
leave one. The impression is that
such a claim could be collected by
law,
