negroes condemned to death at
Scottsboro Friday for attacking

Etowah county jail Friday bnt

placed them in irons.
The negroes, who were returned

girls traveling as hoboes aboard a
freight train, shouted demands for
special food, beat on the cell bars
and tore up the bedding.
Oaths they hurled at the court,

were heard some distance from the
jail, and Sheriff T. L. Griffin, who
occupies an r^artment on the low
er floor of the jail, removed his

an attempted break, the "bull pen
in which the negroes were confined,
was opened, and guards went in
and subdued the negroes, handcuff
ing them in pairs.
When finally quieted and asked
what was the matter, one of the ne
groes replied. "We just don’t like
that death sentence.”

ANTHRAX is a disease con

animals. It may occur while

tnese animals,
in the sorting of
their hair or

by the disease. They may be con
taminated by the bites and stings
of insects.
In man, of course, th disease i=
caused by infection. Usually this
takes place through the skin. Almost
always the condition Is associated
with an occupation In which there is
contact with diseased animals or
animal products.
The Infection takes place through
a hair follicle. In Its early stage
the trouble appears to bo of no
more consequence than a simple
pimple. In appearance, it seems a
mere trifle. As the disease is most
serious in its results, early atten
tion is important.
In a short time the pimple changes
color, itches and burns. Inspection
shows a purple center, an area of
reddened skin. It may progress until
it resembles an ordinary boll or
carbuncle. It differs markedly from
those two conditions in that there Is
very little pain.
Tha local effect of anthrax i*
apoken of as a “malignant pustule".
As I said, it may resemble a boil or
carbuncle, but it differs from them
in having a central depression. This
is surrounded by vesicles, small
blisters. It is painless and does not
contain pus.
These infections should receive im
mediate medical attention. No delay
In seeking advice should be permitted.
It is imperative that the condition be
recognised and treated as soon us
possible.
Prevention is always better than
cure. That Is certainly true as re
gards anthrax. This is best accom
plished by ca- cful disinfection of the
hides, hair, brist.es and rags before
they are given workmen.
Persons handling infected materia!
should be protected by wearing
gloves. In addition to this protection
of the hands, the rest of the body
should be adequately covered.

“Fight Like Hell,
Yell Like Devils”
Said Campbell
(Another of a scries of articles on
the Revolution leading lip to the
bottle of Kings Mountain, written
by IV. K. White, county historian, |
for The Star.)
|
After the patriots had surround-;
ed Ferguson's army on the mountain
the first attark was made by Col- i
oriel Cn'mpbeifl. Bo torn going into
the tight the indomitable Virginia
leader told his daring men to fight
like h—1 and yell like devils, the
first shot of the battle was fired bv
Philip Oreever. a Virginia soldier, j
Immediately following this shot the;
Americans made a spirited at t ick
upon the enemy. But the Britlrn
were not panic-stricken, and s ten
they got into action. The Whigs de
pended upon their marksmanship,
while the English and Tories relied
chiefly upon their bayonets. With
in a short time the enemy began a
bayonet charge and drove the pa
triots down the side of the moun
tain.
But, tliis temporary success of the
British was of short duration. When
they had repulsed Campbell's men
they suddenly found themselves at
tacked from another side. The sec
ond blow for America was struck by
ithe heroic Colonel Shelby with his
i division. This gallant leader had
Hold his men to never shoot, without
‘ seeing an enemy and to never see
Ian enemy without bringing him
I down. Animated by such words ns
j these, Shelby's patriots led by their
j intrepid commander, struck t lie rear
[of tlie enemy Just as Campbell’s
brave boys were being forced back
But Colonel Ferguson was also equal
to tills emergency. So turning apon
these new assailants lie likewise
drove them down the hill
This British success, however, was
equally us brief as the other. Still
another American force was now
coming into action Colonel Clev
eland and his troops had to cross a
swamp to reach the enemy, and for
tills reason they were a little lal"
about getting into the fight, but
they got there just the same in
time to accomplish something. Just
as Shelby’s men were being repul
sed, Cleveland's “bull dogs” attack
ed the flank of the enemy. As the
valiant Cleveland was approaching
with his troops, he is said to have
pointed towards the British and to
have addressed his men as follows:
"Yonder is your enemy und the ene
my of all mankind."
Ferguson and his followers were In
a very uncomfortable predicament.
When they repulsed Campbell, they
were attacked from the rear by
Shelby, and they turned on the lat
ter and drove him down the hill
only to be struck on the flank by
Cleveland. If they drove Cleveland
back, they were again attacked by
Campbell who had rallied his men.
Onward the battle raged. The Amer
icans concealed themselves behind
rocks, trees, logs and bushes and
poured a deadly fire Into the ranks
of the enemy whose bayonet charge
accomplished little In the way of
destruction. Several times the
Whigs were repulsed, but each time
they returned to tho attack with re
newed vigor.
One outstanding feature of the
battle was the sublime heroism of
the American officers. Colonel Camp
bell's horse gave out, but that offi- j
cer led his men on foot .getting so
far ahead of them at times in hi
zeal to win the hight that he was i
actually In danger of being killed j
by his own troops. Though a bullet;
passed through Colonel Shelby's;
hair, the gallant officer was unre
lenting In his efforts for victory ,
Colonel Cleveland's horse was twice j
wounded and the big 250 pound
fellow took It afoot with his troops j
shouting vociferously and urging!
them onward. Hut. the subordinate
officers were just as enthusiastic us I
were the leaders All seemed to be!
determined to win or de. The Amer
ican officers were everywhere in the
thick of the fight and were using
expressions like these, "Hoys remem
ber your liberty.” “We must get.
them out of this" va little nearer to
them, my brave men.” "Come on
boys, come on!”
The most heroic figure on the
British side was Colonel Ferguson.
Early in the fight the other British
officer realized that the situation
was hopeless and wanted to surren
der. Twice the white flag had been
raised, but each, time Ferguson had
cut it down, swearing that he would
never surrender to such a d -d set
of banditti While attempting to
i break through the American lines
the British leader was killed, and
another white flag was raised which
ended the battle

J To avoid tearing tinfoil, flip first finger of each hand under

Close package, it guards Camels from dust

THE moment you open the new Camel Humidor
Pack you begin to note the advantages of this
new, scientific and sanitary method of wrapping
Camel cigarettes.
At once you are greeted with the delightful aroma
that comes from choicest Turkish and mellowest
Domestic tobaccos in prime condition.
Your sense of touch also detects the freshness of
Cainels, for unlike moisture-robbed cigarettes
Camels are pliable to the fingers.
But the real difference comes when you light a
Camel and mhale its cool, fragrant smoke.
Cigarettes brought to you so perfectly conditioned
deserve to be kept that way in your pocket.
The simplest way to insure this is to open the
Camel Humidor Pack as shown above.
That will keep intact the mildness and freshness
that is making the whole country say: “Now I’d
walk two miles for a Camel because they’re twice
as good.”
If you haven’t tried Camels in the new Humidor
Pack, switch over for just one day.
Then go hack tomorrow if you can.
