Centervilie, Ala., May 16.
Thirty-six negro convicts lost their
lives early today, when the stockade
of the Redfeather Coal Company, at
Ducile mines, Bibb county, about 15
miles north of Centerville, was de
stroyed by a fire, set by one of the
prisoners in an effort to gain his
freedom.
Thirty-five of the convicts were
burned to death and another was
fatally shot by guards while trying
to escape. Among those burned is
the negro who started the blaze. -
The fire spread rapidly throughout
the structure, which, on . account of
the extreme dryness of the material,
was quickly consumed.
It was with much difficulty that
the unharmed convicts In the stock
ade were prevented from eluding the
guards. , '
All of the convicts at Luclle mines
are State prisoners, leased to the
Redfeather Coal Company for work
in tbe mines.
It Is reported that all or the con
victs at the Lucile camp were ne
groes. So far as known none of tbe
workmen escaped.

Many people have tried so many remedies
for eczema without being materially benefitted
that they have come to the conclusion that
there is no cure for this most distressing dis
ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and
that; : : :; r-yi ;V. '
Hobson's Eczema Ointment
will effect a cure is shown by the following
unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson,
who for many years was a citizen of Wades
boro. Mr. Wilson says:
"This is to certify that for nine years I suffered
with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so
called specfics for it, but without effect. But after a
few applications of Hobs on' s Eczema, Ointment I was
completely cured. "V. WILSON.

SOME THINGS "LITTLE BROWN
CREEK" DOES NOT LIKE.'
Mr. Editor: As a nation, both in
state and church, are we not patting
off the cloak of democracy and pat
ting on the garb of autocracy? As a
nation, we started a democracy in its
simplicity, when 125,000 wftsconsid-.
eied a sufficient salary to supply the
wants of oar chief magistrate for one
- . a a gi
year, now anoui it now, woen
000 will not keep him up to the satis
faction of the aristocratic nabobs who
inhabit our national city and who got
their great wealth by questionable
means. One innovation after anoth
er. Bubmittea to taroeiy, mages u
easy for such characters to carry
their point, and the time is not far
d'stant when 11,000,000 will not be
considered too much for a great, pro
gressive nation like ours to pay their
chief magistrate.
Now. the paying of this latter
amount would not be a great burden
if it did net come from the hard earn
ings of the toiling millions, who' bear
the burdens of all taxations. Some
may say that the men of great wealth
pay taxes. Granted; but where did
this wealth come from? They gath
ered it from taxes in some form from
the producers of wealth.
To remedy this growing evil, as a
llgion. - .
The one way to remedy thU fla
grant injustice is for the women of
the churches to stay home for awhile
until the autocrats learn the source
from which they eet their bread.
Hunger will bring most men to their
senses.
The ch arches are fast coming to the
one man rale, and sooner or later the
eyes of the people will be open. Then
a reaction, or distraction, which? Our
churches are becoming too tolerant in
some particulars. They alio?? the
on aa who care not how they eet
the dollar, so that dollar goes to the
support of the church, to hold high
positions in the churches. They are
toojntolerant in that they wish to
rule th praachers' way, leaving tbe
preachers out of 1L As we view it.
it takes the laity to constitute the
church, and not tbe clergy, as they
seem to think. Sooner or later this
fact will be made manifest, or a dis
ruption wiU take place. When men
view the churches as being of God,
and not man's inventions then men
will demand that they be run on
uoaiy lines, and not, as now, too
much on commercial lines.
As I have before stated, tbe wom
en are the ones who attend church
services, who are measurably respon
sible for their support, In many In
stances acting as stewards, making
nation, we must get back to first collections, etc., and this against the
rUles and laws of the church. And
when she asks to be placed In position
totlegally transact this most important
duty her privilege la denied by the
ones she has so faithfully labored for.
I leave this for the ones to decide
who should, from this point of view,
love her most The ones, last at the
cross, first at the grave.

The prospectus of the Price-Camp
bell Cotton Picker Corporation that
has Just been issued indicates that
tbe officers of his company intend to
proceed with the development of the
machine in much tbe same careful
manner followed by Theodore Price
In the promotion of the company.
They have one complete machine
that bas been demonstrated In
Southern fields, and are now having
ten perfected machlues built by the
Taft-Pierce Company, Woonsocket,
R. I., under the supervision of Angus
Campbell, the inventor. These will
be completed in ample time for use
in harvesting the current crop and
will be largely used In Texas. In his
prospectus Mr. Price spates that in
bis opinion the machine is a com
plete success. He further states that
"Operated by one man and a boy it
can .pick ias much cotton aa forty
men can by hand in the same time,
and it picks a much larger propor
tion of the available cotton than is
usually gathered by hand. In addi
tion to picking cotton I 'believe tbe
machine can be, by slight alterations,
adapted to plowing, planting, culti
vating and 'chopping out' tbe cot
ton, so that it should be capable of
profitable employment a large part
of each year."
As bas been previously noted in
these columns the authorized capital
stock Is $8, 00,000 divided into II,
250,000 prefened and $7,250,000
common stock of a par value of $100.
The officers are as follows: President
Theodore Price; first vice president,
W. II. Brown, Pittsburg, Pa.; sec
ond vice president, Ell wood Hen
drick; New York City; treasurer.
Russell R. Coates, New York City;
secretary, William P. Wood, New
York City. Among the directors
identified with the textile trade are
Herbert E. Walmsley, agent Warn-
sutta mills, New Bedford, Mass.;
Stephen C. Lowe, Boston, Mass., and
Frank P. Sheldon, Providence, R.I.
Among the prominent stockholders
are many cotton manufacturers and
cotton growers. It is noteworthy
that the stock of this company ia not
being offered forpublic subscription,
but is being distributed in a quiet
way among friends of the officers
and original stockholders.

This Company has been successful from the beginning, and has never experienced the ups and

surplus to policyholders has increased from $200,000.00 to $477,816.00. A record unapproach

Its actuary is one of America's most eminent insurance experts. It makes no contract that it
cannot carry out and no provision that it cannot fulfill.
In its interest earnings it stands at the head of American Insurance Companies.
Its death rate is exceedingly low For 1909 it was only 30 per cent, of the expected.
