KNOW OUR WEAK PLACE – [Montgomery Advertiser] A CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN KILLED – Zul Shelton Meets his Death Near Corona on the Georgia Pacific ZUELLA SHELTON, a white construction foreman on the Western Division of the Georgia Pacific Railroad was killed at Corona, fifty-five miles west of this city yesterday. He was standing on the lever care, which was on a side track, when a train came by and struck the car knocking SHELTON off and inflicting wounds from which he died three hours afterwards. The car on the siding had not fully cleared the main track which was the cause of the accident. SHELTON was struck on the head by a falling beam. SHELTON lived at Kennedy, a station only a few miles away, where his body was taken for burial. He was a married man and had been in the employ of the road for several months. – [Birmingham News] THE ROAD CONGRESS – The Sentiment was to Work Convicts on the Road Atlanta, May 23 – The Georgia Road Congress finished its labor today. A measure was adopted looking to a change in the road laws of Georgia, and the Chairman is to appoint a committee of twelve to present a memorial to the Legislature requesting such changes as they think will give better roads. The overwhelming sentiment was that convicts should be, so far as possible worked on roads, where their labor does not conflict with free labor. THE CHARLESTON – Many Repairs to be Made Before She Stands The Test Washington, May 22 – News from San Francisco is to the effect that while there is reason to believe that the new cruiser, Charleston, will ultimately succeed in fulfilling the contract requirement much remains to be done upon the vessel……………….. WHERE IT IS SAFEST – [Chamber’s Journal] DEATH BY WIRE – Sheriffs Getting Ready to Touch the Button and Kill a Few Murderers New York, May 25 – The time for the delivery of the electrical execution machines is near at hand. The life takers three in number will cost $2700 each. Two hundred volts are enough to kill a man, but 1,000 volts will be used. To send a stronger current through a man would make charcoal out of his body. Under the new law the criminal will first know the day and hour of his execution when the warden and sheriff enter his cell and bind his hands. A pair of shoes, in the soles of which are the metal plates covered with springs which form one electrode, and a cap containing the other electrode will then be put on him. He will be placed in a large reclining oak chair and securely fastened. The wire from the dynamo will be then connected with the electrodes at the head and feet, the sheriff will touch a button, and in one hundred and fifth part of a second the criminal is dead. When the first shock passes through the body all the muscles become rigid, the limbs will be convulsed and groans will be heard. While these manifestations are not accompanied by pain of the criminal it seems humane to avoid even the appearance of torture, so the current is kept up until the muscles relax, this taking about five seconds. Then the cap and shoes have only to be removed and the body is ready for burial. CROP BULLETIN A slight fall of rain occurred in north Alabama during the week, but it was too limited to be of lasting benefit to the crops. In all other sections of the state the dry weather and cool nights have continued through the week with serious results to all crops and fruits. The yield of strawberries was greatly shortened and vegetables have been damaged. In some sections the oats planted in spring have been almost destroyed. The cool weather and want of rain have held back the cotton plant and its growth has not been as rapid as is desired. The dry weather, however, has enabled the farmers to kill the grass and put the land in excellent condition when the rain does come. Corn has not suffered as much as other crops. The weather has been favorable for the rapid increase of insects. P. H. MELL, Director SEVENTEEN-YEARS LOCUSTS IN OHIO – [Hillsboro, O. Dispatch] RIEL HARPER, who lived some six miles north of Gordo, died very suddenly on Saturday last. On Sunday while a number of his children and grand-children were at the house of mourning the sorrow of the occasion was made doubly sad by the drowning of one of the deceased’s grand children. It seems that the little fellow was playing about the springs near by when by some means he lost his balance, fell into the spring, and was drowned before assistance could be had. – [West Alabamian] THE NEGRO’S HAVEN Deputy Sheriff E. W. Smith, who went to Topeka, Kansas after John Allen has returned to Montgomery. Allen is the negro who is wanted here on a charge of assault with intent to murder. Five or six years ago he shot at Mr. Luke O’Brien the watchman at the capitol…………… IRISH TIMES – There are four classes of men in the world………… HE IS A HUMMER In announcing the election of Rev. C. J. Howes, of Louisville, as chief deputy to the United States Marshal of Kentucky, a dispatch says…………. The great strikes now in progress in Germany are said to be stimulated by the secret Socialist organizations that exist in the empire, notwithstanding the severe laws against them. We learn from France that in last Sunday’s municipal election at Norborne the Socialist candidates were successful, and a crowd of men paraded the streets singing the Marseilles. From the Hagus we lean that on Sunday night a body of Socialists hauled down the royal standard from the Great Tower and hoisted the Socialist flag in its place. From St. Petersburg we learn that large number of military officers, suspected of Nihilism, have been arrested on the charge of engaging in the recent attempt to assassinate the Czar. These portentous incidents are a few of the indicators of the renewed activity of the Socialist leaders in several countries in Europe. – [New York Sun] BREVIER “SORTS” – (quotes and proverbs) [New York World] – With Wannamaker collecting money to help the prohibition cause in Pennsylvania and Quay raising boodles to help defeat the proposed amendment in that state, the Republican Party maintains its balance on this question in true ropewalker style. With the pious John to look after what the Tribune once called “Sunday School politics” and the wicked Matthew to keep the “rum power” satisfied, the par of high old moral ideas expects steer clear of the temperance rocks. $100 Reward……….. ----------- Just Opened – A new stock of Spring Millinery.

Get ready for a picnic. Just three years old today. Who will report the first ripe peaches this season? Esq. W. J. TRULL of Strickland’s beat was in town Tuesday. There is some talk of closing the Institute on the 7th of next month. Mr. and Mrs. EDDIE MORTON and Miss MAGGIE MORTON visited Columbus this week. Rev. M. D. CLEARMAN filled the Methodist pulpit Sunday night for the Rev. Mr. WILSON. Rev. M. D. CLEARMAN will preach in town hereafter on each second Sunday at 11 a.m. You need not make any preparations to go to the handing of DICK HAWES on the 12th of July. Circuit Clerk BRADLEY has replaced the sash in his office, which was broken in the safe blowing. Only one marriage license was issued last week – Mr. JOHN TRAWICK and Miss EMILY L. TEASLEY. The trustees of the Institute have met several times lately, but we don’t know what they did at the meetings. Prof. H. M. SOMERVILLE, of Kennedy was the guest of his cousin, Capt. J. S. MCEACHIN in town the first of the week. Let everybody prepare for the picnic, which will be at an early day. We can’t give the date, as it has not been set yet. There are people so stingy that if given a mint and all the bullion they could use, they would not then put one hundred cents in a dollar. A large number of Vernonites went up Emmaus last Sunday to attend the communion service of the Primitive Baptist Church. A large crowd was present, many having come from a distance. The Courier received a delightful call this week from two of Vernon’s fairest and sweetest young ladies, Misses JALA GUIN and ELIZA MORTON. Come again young ladies, you are always welcome. After this week the publication day of The Courier will be Thursday, instead of Friday as heretofore. We make this change for the reason it is more in harmony with the mail facilities of the county. Mr. GILBERT WIMBERLY left very suddenly Monday without bidding his friends adieu. He has been contemplated a trip to Texas for some time, and his friends think he has gone to that state. The Acts of the last legislature were received in the Probate office last Saturday. The work is very extensive filling a volume of near 1200 pages, nearly all of which is local laws. All officers entitled to a copy can get it by calling at the probated office. The name of the singers of Vernon has gone forth throughout all the land. Dr. BRADLEY has received a request to bring his class and give a concert at an early date in one of the booming towns in the mineral region of Alabama. He has not yet decided whether he will go. The negro, HENRY HAMLIN, who was confined in jail awaiting trial on the charge of assault with a weapon was tired in the county court last Saturday and was discharged, but as he was under bond for his appearance at Circuit court, had his bondsmen having turned him over to the sheriff he was returned to the county boarding house. The Courier makes its appearance this week through much tribulation. On Tuesday evening our sanctum was visited by such a vision of beauty and sweetness that the editor dropped his only pair of “specs” into the paste pot, and turned the ink over on a very lengthy and labored leader on the “Situation in Samoa”. The “devil” fell into the ink barrel, and was not resuscitated for several hours, and when the came through he found that in his fall he had kicked a double galley of “fat” into the “sheol box,” which necessitated an extra days’ work. We hope our readers will etc. Dr. JOHN G. SMITH, of Canaan was in town Tuesday. Dr. JOHN graduated in medicine at the Mobile Medical College at its last session and was up Tuesday going through the examination before the County board of physicians, as required by law of all graduates. The doctor passed most satisfactory examination in every branch and to the Courier man a member of the board said: “His examination was one of the best ever passed by a young man in this county.” The courier joins the Dr’s many friends in congratulating him on the high standing he has taken in the profession at the beginning, and predicts for him a high place in his chosen profession. SONG DRAWN OUT – (poem) A CHURCH CONTRIBUTION – (poem) FROM DETROIT Detroit, Ala., May 28 – After a brief illness Aunt PEGGY RODGERS died on last Saturday evening at the home of her nephew, Mr. FURMAN LAGSTON. Aunt PEGGY will be sadly missed, not only by her relatives but the entire community will mourn her death. After spending a few weeks at Beaverton Springs, Prof. J. F. WHITE and family have returned home, very much benefited. Dr. J. S. STANLEY, of Duncan, Miss. spent a few days in town last week. He will probably move his family to Duncan next fall. Mr. W. F. HAMILTON’S horse, Saddler, had his leg broken by kicking while in a stable at Guin. Mrs. CLARK, who has been quite sick, has recovered. Mrs. HAMILTON is quite sick. Detroit needs a doctor. CLIP FROM MILLPORT Millport, Ala., May 27 – Seeing that you have failed to get the news from Millport for two weeks and thinking you would like to keep posted on our booming town, I write you a few dots. The marriage boom noted in the Courier seems to have stopped for a while; but the building boom goes on. There have been over forty new houses built in Millport inside of a year and the boom goes on. A new two story building is nearing completion for the use of the Masonic Lodge and an alliance exchange. The building is large and well built and speaks well for the two grand societies by which it was built. The store of Mr. B. DUNCAN is nearing completion, which of itself would do credit to any town. Several other new stores have been lately finished and are now occupied by live merchants. Our school is still the talk and life of our town. The closing exercises are to be on the 12th to 14th of June, and all are looking forward to the time with a great deal of interest, and if you will come down then Mr. Editor, we will promise you a pleasant time. By the way, Vernonites are to be seen on our street quite often, for only last Tuesday, Representative BRADLEY, Sheriff METCALFE and Judge YOUNG was seen on our streets. The presence of Judge YOUNG was soon accounted for by a show being billed for Millport that night, and it is said that he never suffers one to exhibit in the county without paying the state and county license. The shoe failed to come and the judge left next morning, and if disappointed in the object his visit, he may rest assured that our people appreciated his visit. Perhaps not more though than many widows of Confederate soldiers did his gratuitous visit to their homes to take applications for a state pension. This being something not usually done by judges, and many applicants having no way to go to the Court house, and some too old an d feeble o go, made it an almost indispensable act of kindness, and one that receives the praise of all who love a generous deed. We all realize that we like him better and appreciate him more the more we know of him, and while we once regarded him as being a learned and rather reticent lawyer we now regard him as a most conscientious officer, with a generous and most accommodating disposition. Measles are very prevalent in our town at present; but the general health is very good, although the weather is very dry. But no doubt you have heard it said that to the farmer “dust in May is gold dust,” and I trust it will be the case with farmers this year. Our town although incorporated and with a good population fails to give our worthy mayor, R. N. WALDROP, much business, which speaks well for the morals of our town. Fearing that my dots will be too prolix, I will stop for this time. * * * ONE SWALLOW DOES NOT MAKE A SUMMER – (Poem) MONEY TO LOAN I am prepared to negotiate loans on farming lands in Lamar County in sums to suit the borrower, for a term of five years or less.
