Lovelace's Sentence Commuted to Thirty Years Governor Bickett has commuted the death sentence of Dennis Lovelace to thirty years in the state penitentiary. Lovelace killed his father-in-law, H.

E. Edwards, in Rutherford county in September, 1918. In commuting Lovelace's sentence from death to 30 years, Governor Bickett reiterates his belief in the death penalty and disclaims any purpose to make it inoperative. He is backed in this clemency by the solicitor, by Justices Brown and Allen, of the supreme court, by 11 of the 12 jurors who tried the case. The judge who presided does not oppose commutation, though he says he must change his mind if he asks for another.

There are doubts of pre Allen has been milliner here for sever- i used bv tne new company just as soon al seasons and has a host of friends I as the new Horn building is remodeled, Mr. Roy Russell, of Knoxville, is visiting his kinsman, Chas.

The new plant of this bottling company represents an investment of about $40,000 and is the last whisper in bottling machinery. It has a capacity of sixty bottles a minute, and from the time the bottles are put into the giant cleaner, where each bottle gets twenty-two separate washings, until they are put into crates ready for shipment they are untouched by human hands. The power used is electricity and compressed air and everything is automatic and very interesting to watch at work. When the Coca-Cpla plant was first established here thirteen years ago a 2-horsepower gasoline engine furnished ample power. Now it takes eight motors totaling 38 horsepower to operate the plant.

F. I. Barber has been the efficient manager of the plant since its establish Hague Padgett came in last week from Texas aid is recuperating from an attack flu.

a News From Alexander The "flu" in our little town has taken its flight to parts unknown, we are glad to report. Most those who had it are back at work and the others are convalescent. We hope it does not head this way again. Alexander Manufacturing Company are building a sand clay road that connects our town with the main road near the C. C.

O. railroad crossing. The "Old Road Builder," J. S. Walh is in charge of the work.

That means that in a short time we will have a first class road direct from Forest City to Caroleen right in our front yard. The new road will be a great couvenience, not only to Alexandrians, but to all "autoists," as it shortens the Forest City-Caroleen road considerably. Our town is still undergoing improvements. Every street is lined on each side with pecan trees. In a short time we will have, not only shaded streets and walks, but some of the most delicious nuts that can be found, as these are the best paper shell varieties.

It seems that there has been a "hailstorm" of grafonolas and talking machines here. If one gets out of hearing of one of these he has to get out of town; but as all have a nice collection of records they are quite pleasing to the ear.
