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. Uudei the table rates, as adopt- 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, PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AND PREPARE FOR ]\ THE WINTER.
