HARD OX CAR ROBBERS. - New Federal Law Enables Railroad) to Punish Effectively Thieves Who Rob Freight Cars. " 6peclal to The Gazette. . BIRMINGHAM, ALA., Nov. r. The Carlin bill, recently passed by Congress making the robbery of freight cars, baggage cars and ex press cars engaged in the interstate commerce and the robbery of inrer- v State shipments from plattonn ant . stations a Federal offense, is a law with teeth in it and sharp ones at that as was evidenced in the Feder al court here when John L. Parker . was given a sentence of six years in the United States prison for robbing a shipment of shoes consigned to Glazen, Miss., from a car in the Bir- mlngham yards on May 4th. rar ker was also implicated in robb:r.g a shipment of notions consigned to Avondale, Ala., from a car in tne Birmingham yards on the nis;it of July 30th and Otis Williams and Arthur Goodeye who assisted him were given sentences of four years i and six months and three years and , six months respectively in the Unit ed States prison. v. Under the Carlin law. tTie prose cution of car and depot thieves is greatly simplified and the certainty of conviction is much greater as tne " Federal statutes do not provide the loopholes found 1n various Ftate ' laws through which many criminals whose guilt was clearly proved have been enabled to escape on technical- j Ities. As the result of the operation , of this law. it is believed that enm-1 Inals will recognize the daneer of tampering with freight cars and de pots and that there will be a great decrease in thefts of this character .which frequently cause serious in ' convenience and loss to shippers as well as to the railroads.

The municipal reference librarian of Chicago, Frederick Rex, has taken the trouble to collate some statistics regarding fatal railway and automo bile accidents for the fiscal year 1 a 1 2, and has drawn thereTrom a Tew interesting comparisons. He finds that the number of passengers kill ed in all ways on all of the railways of the I nited States during the fis cal yea: ended June 30, 1912, was 27 0. During the same period ac cording to information obtained by the Chicago statistical expert, 691 Iersons were killed by automobile in j 22 American cities having a popula ' tion of 1 00,000 or more. I The comparison becomes startling when it is realized that in the State of New York alone such cities as Rochester, Syracuse and Albany are not included. Neither does the list include a number of large cities in other States with population ex ceeding 100,000. A Iay Sermon on Whiskey. Greensboro Record. One of the hardest lessons to learn is that if you keep fooling witn liquor it will pin your shoulders to the mat. It Is the only wrestling bout that was never known to fall or even balk. Whiskey wins every time, yet men continue to be found who imagine they can master it, but the first victor Is yet to be found. Two prominent citizens of this place were once discussing the drink hab it; one of them had arrived at, the stage where he could not take a drink without getting drunk; the other could take one drink or forty in a day and night and show up next morning, seldom requiring a drlnR. This gentleman said to the down-and-out man "If I thought' I would ever get so I could not take a drlnR without getting drunk. I would cut my throat," where-upon the other remarked "Better be sharpening your knife," and that very man be came the worst drunkard in Greens boro In his day. The implied propn ecy was fulfilled to the letter. Mr. Fox's Long Staple Cotton. StatesvIIIe Landmark. Mr. C. S. Fox. of Shlloh township, who has been growing a variety of long staple cotton for a year or two, sold some of his crop on the States vIIIe market Friday for 15 1-4 when the regular staple was bringing only 13.50. Mr. Fox's cotton was men tioned In The Landmark last-year. 1 it is not in regular long staple bat a big bolr variety that produces a longer and liner staple than ordina ry cotton and Mr. Fox says it pro duces .better on poor land than the inr varlef - Tt la tn grow.. he says, and no more expens-' Ire than other, cotton and the cent , and a quarter a pound additional obtained for It makes it a more val uable crop. . I THE INTERNATIONAL B E Jf Hun." . - Spectacular magnificence, dramat ic splendor and religious ecstacy are the most notable concomitants -of Klaw & Erlanger's International production of "Ben Hur," which will be the offering at the Academy of Music, Charlotte, Monday and Tues day nights and Tuesday matinee. Nov. 17 and 18. During the four teen years which have passed since the original presentation of this no ble, drama its owners have not on ly kept it up to its original grandeur, but have elaborated and developed the possibilities of the production each season, until today it stands un rivaled in beauty of establishment, unsurpassed in dramatic significance and power. It was the "last word" of the stage craft of the nlneteentn century and into the age it brought a bigness and perfection which win remain the standard for decades to come. Dealing with the earth life of Je sus, the most important period In the history, "Ben Hur" shows the world at its most wonderful point in magnificence and wealth, for Rome ruled the world and Caesar Augus tus was Emperor of the mlghtles realm the earth had known. Into this time of display and pomp came the lowly Nazarene, the Chrlstos for whom the nation had longed, and It is this personality of Jesus that, per meating the fabric of the Wallace Young dj-ama. makes it a sermon as well as a drama of tremendous sig nificance. The reverence with whicn the imminence of Christ is indicated has made "Ben Hur" a religious pa geant, while the sweep of the story of Ben Hur and Messala. Esther and Iras, carries audiences off their feer, the culmination of the dramatic nlot bing the chariot race, wherein Ben Hur conquers and degrades his enemy. Nothing mo-e realistic than this scene in the flrfna of the Circus or ntioch with Ben Hur and Messala' driving c,if'''-uPle teams or equine thoron'-'ireds contesting Tor supre macy- tins ever neen imagined by a ff-nnitlst or executed bv a producer. The race enthralls because on Its outcome denends life, love, honor, riches to the victor, and when Ben Hr receives the victor's crown of wild olive, audiences applaud witn the greatest enthusiasm. Bat-Proof Com Crib. W. F. Massey, in The Progressive Farmer. A reader asks: "How shall I make a corn crib that will e rai proof ?" Set it on concrete pillars three feet or more high, and all around lev el with the floor put a flashing or roofing tin, projecting ten mcnes. Sheathe under the floor joists with small water-washed gravel, and floor above that. Rats cannot cut througn round gravel. The steps must be hinged at top and have a pulley to hoist them out of the way when not In use. Make the crib away rrom other buildings. Innocent Man to Be Released From Pris6n. Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News. Sam Coltrane. formerly of Ran dolph county. North Carolina, now in the Federal penitentiary at Leav enworth, Kan., will probably leave the prison a free man within tne next few days. He has already serv ed nearly half of a 25-year term for murder and only recently has the murderer been found and convicted. An innocent man, Coltrane owes his coming freedom to fenator Overman, who made it possible for him to be transported from Kansas to Oklaho ma to testify against the man whose testimony at the formal trial had helped to impose ten years of con finement on Coltrane. About 12 years ago Coltrane mov ed from Randolph county to Oklaho ma. Shortly after his arrival In that state a man was round dead and a man named Watson said that Col trane killed him. Justice In those days In Oklahoma was a hit or miss affair. A new county was trying hard to be virtuous against great odds. The trial Judge refused to continue the case until two wit nesses for Coltrane, who were out of the Plate, could be returned. The case went to trial, Coltrane was con victed and sentenced to 25 years in the penitentiary. Friends of Coltrane had the case re-opened a short time ago upon the return of the two witnesses to the State. Watson, who swore at tne former trial that Coltrane killed tne man, was Indicted, Senator Overman secured permission for Coltrane to be taken from the penitentiary to testify in the second trial. Watson was convicted of the murder and the jury unanimously recommended that Coltrane be pardoned. Arrange ments for the pardon are now being made. Mr. J. M. K'Lapp. the uphol sterer, has moved his shop from the room on the corner of Main avenue and York street formerly occupied by the Llneberger Electrical Appli ance Company to the second floor front of the Long building, over the People's Furniture Company.
