Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 26.?Before he went to his death in the Biri mingham jail Friday, Armstead White admitted that he falsely confessed to the murder of Walter Venable in Montgomery in order to "get longer time to live." A letter declaring that he did not till tho Mrmtcnmorv mprr>hfl.nt was found in White's cell in the Jefferson county prison Friday afternoon shortly after he paid the death penalty for the murder of a fellow convict* Jim Miner. White's gahie worked wrell, as he was granted a 60-day respite by Gov. O'Neal so he could testify in the Venable case. When he was brought here chained and under strong guard recently, White refused to testify before the grand jury unless it would agree to request the governor to commute the death sentence. The grand jury refused to do this, disregarded White's previous story, ordered three negroes, who were held as accomplices, rele'ased, and sent White back to the Birmingham jail to await the time for his execution. The negro's letter contained the following paragraph: "I got in trouble with Robert Bibb and shot and killed him and was sent up from Montgomery county for life time and killed Jim Miner with a pick and brought to Birmingham and sentenced to hang June 21, and I was not ready to go at that time and while thinking of my trouble and the time was so short I did not know what to do and I see a man sitting out in the hall and it came to my mind to say that 1 killed Mr. Walter Venable and I knowed it was not so and I would get a longer time and I did not know who killed Mr. Walter Venable, for I was at work at the oil mill." LYNCHING SEEMS PROBABLE. Negro Kills One Man and Wounds Three and Posse Surrounds Hiin. Chattanooga, Aug. 26.?A special from Gadsden, Ala., says: One man is dead and three wounded and a posse of 300 have a negro, who made the assault, surrounded in the mountains near Colbert,. Dekalb county, according to a telephone message received here to-day. Saturday night an unknown negro was caught in the act of entering a store at Collinsville. Oliver and Charles Hall tried to arest him. He : opened fire, shooting one in the leg ." and the other in the foot. A posse started in pursuit. This morning while surrounded in the mountains he shot and killed a named Murphy and wounded another. He is being trailed by the bloodhounds. It is believed that he is badly wounded and will soon be captured. If he is taken alive he will probably be lynched. 5 or G doses 66G will break any case of Chills & Fever; and if taken then as a tonic the Fever will not return. Price 25c.

A rather unusual industry alon the Kentish coast has come to publ i attention through a complaint lodge with the Kent and Essex sea- fisheri< committee at a recent meeting i London. The inhabitants of the Is of Grain and the adjoining distric of the east coast of Kent have f( many years been collecting a whii seaweed that is washed up along tt shore, which has been used by Loi don and provincial milliners as trie ming for women's hats. According to the English pres this hA grown into a profitable ii dustry during the winter montl when farm work was not to be ha< but its continuance is threatened, s those interested claim, by the pra tice of trawlers, who attach barbe wires to their trawlers and gathc this white seaweed before it is rip selling the algae thus collected at very low figure. In the ordinary wc the seaweed falls off from the roo and is washed ashore, but the traw pull it up by the roots and thus d' stroy the source of supply as well i leaving nothing for the islanders 1 collect but the refuse that has bee thrown back into the sea by tl trawlers. It was asked, among othi things, that a crosed season for tt weed be adopted. Pat Bluffed Him Out. An Englishman and an Irishms made a bet which could swim tl longer. On the day of the race tl Irishman came to the shore in a bat ing suit and a large satchel on h back. The Englishman asked hi what he had in the bag. "Provisions for three days," cool answered Pat. "The bet's off," said the Englis! man, as he handed Pat the money A few days later he heard th; Paddy couldn't swim a stroke. A Human Automobile. "What's the matter?" asked D W. E.
