FALSELY CONFESSED.
Negro Knew Nothing of Yenable
Murder, but He Gained 60 Days.
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.

SHOES FOR THE OXE LEGGED.
Single Shoes Sold, and Two Pairs
Broken for Some Customers. '
When a one legged man buys a j
shoe the dealer sends to the factory
for a shoe to match the one left remaining.
In thes days of the use of j
machinery in every process of their I
manufacture shoes are made with the '
utmost exactness and precision, and j
it is easily possible to mate that re- j
maining shoe with the greatest nice-1
tv in size, style, material and finish.
Few people have feet exactly alike.
Commonly the left foot is larger
than the right, so that one shoe may
fit a little more snugly than the oth

Seaweed for Trimming Hats.
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. Carter, police surgeon, whe
a man who gave the name of M. Ni
bouck, drew up in front of him ar
with feet scraping, came to .a fu
and sudden stop.
"I don't know what's the matter
Traffic Officer Krug replied. "I ju
saw him trying to, go two ways i
once, so brought him here."
"What have you been doing?" tl
physician asked the patient.
"Chug, chug, honk, honk," he r
plied, smiling.
"I smell gasoline," said Dr. Carte
"So do I," said Officer Krug.
"Have you been around gasoline^
the physician asked the patient.
"I'm around it now," he said. '

I got up I saw it on the table, ar
thinking it was water, drank it. The
