CROWDED STREET
Mrs. Marable Knocked Un-1

der. Who Is Stabbed in
Scuffle With Husband
T^ast night about 10 o'clock in front of
T.oveman, Joseph & Boeb's at Third ave
nue and Nineteenth street. (1. B. Alexan
der struck Mrs. G. D. Marable In the
face with his fist, knocking her uncon

• Mr. Marable was unable to explain the
asault on his wife last night, lie said:
"l was walking home with my wife
when at the corner of Third avenue and j
Nineteenth street 1 stepped across the
street to a mail box. On my return I
saw a large man striking at my wife
who was screaming. Before I could get
up to the man he had struck my wife a
heavy blow in the chest, knocking her
clear off the sidewalk into the street. I
then closed in on her assailant and pre
vented any further harm being done."
The Incident was witnessed by several
hundred people and when Alexander
Struck Mrs. Marable there were cries of
horror. Several men leafed forward, but
Marable, who is a city salesman for the
American Bakeries Candy company, was
quicker than the rest and in the short
scuffle that followed the collision between
the two, Alexander went down to the
street with an ugly stab wound in the
right side near the heart.
As a crowd began to gather General
Manager J. 11. P. DeWindt of the Bir
mingham Railway, Bight and Power
company helped pick up the uncon
scious woman and, placing her in his
» automobile, removed both Mr. and Mrs.
fcyiMarable to their home at 18112 Four
avenue, north, and a physician
mM,aunimonpd.
AH examination disclosed the fact
that Mrs. Marable had been struck sev
eral blows and painfully bruised. She
is not hurt seriously, although the
shock of her encounter has complete
ly prostrated her.
At the city jail, where Alexander was
brought immediately after the assault
by several officers. Ur. Charles Who

1 ion of Ropfry Clubs of America. This
wn***jSfcjfled at a meeting of the On-to
; us ton committee of the Rotary club
and the convention committee <>f the
Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday
afternoon. Oscar C. Turner will pre

I tons with the inscription, ‘Meet me iti

to get the Rotarians to meet each other
in the Magic City next year.
Already 15 or more members of the

loyal Rotarians ami citizens of Birrning

There will be pitted against Birmingham
for the 1915 Rotary convention several
strong cities and the fight promises to
be very close and exciting. It is prob
able Atlanta will be a contestant, but
Birmingham, with its assurance of an
auditorium by next year and its present
hotel facilities, is regarded as the strong
est candidate in the field and members
of the local club express the greatest
confidence In the ultimate result.

[DIAS VISITORS
HIGHLY PLEASED
Bexar County Officials Are
Guests of Barrett Manufac
turing Co.—San Antonio
Doing Much Paving
That Birmingham, with the possible ex
ception of Washington, was the best
paved city in the country, was the opin
fon expressed yesterday by a party of
capitalists <and public officials from San
Antonio, Tex., after an extensive tour
throughout the residential districts and
suburbs. The party were the guests of
the management of the Barrett Manu
facturing company.
The group of San Antonio people came
to Birmingham yesterday at noon. They
were brought to the etty by S. S. Cun
ning, the Texas representative of the Bar
rel Manufacturing company, and imme
diately upon their arrival Manager Stan
ley Woodward of the Fairfield plant took
charge of the party and provided auto
mobile rides throughout all the paved
sections of the city. The party also visit
ed Fairfield and was much Impressed with
that industrial subttrb. The men who
made the trip were: J. R. Davis, county
judge of Bexar county, Texas; C. X. Gut
zite, county commissioner; Frederick Ben
nett, county highway engineer; Roy
Barneburg, county road supervisor; S. S.
Cunning, Texas representative of the Bar
rett company; W. A. Kelly, road con
tractor, and D. E. Colp, representing tax
payers’ committee on good roads.
The spokesman of the Texas party, D.
E. Colp, was enthusiastic in speaking of
his delight in visiting Birmingham. He
stated that he had visited here for the
purpose of seeing how the local streets
and sidewalks were paved and that this
was the only city the party would visit,
as they left for San Antonio at 10 o’clock
last night.
“This is a. flying trip to your progres
sive city,” said Mr. Colp at the Hillman
hotel last night, “and I certainly wish
that T could stay in Birmingham for sev
eral days longer as the few hours that 1
have spent here have aroused a desire
to see a great deal of this city. I can
truly say that of all the cities T have
visited for the good roads committee of
Bexar county, Birmingham is by far the
best paved municipality. Your local pav
ing has impressed us so much that we
are returning to render a favorable re
port to letting out street paving con
tracts to the extent of several million?
of dollars.
“These street paving contracts in Safi
Antonio mean something to your city as
the material selected Is ‘tarvia,’ which if
manufactured by the Barrett company,
whose guests we are today. \Yc selected
the local product for our streets.
“There is at present a movement ir
San Antonio for better paved streets
We have been very backward of lat*
years in paving, but are just now oaten
ing up. Recently the city of San Antonie
passed a bond issue of $3,300,000 jto pave I
the streets of the city. The plan of pav
ing Is for the city to pay one-third the H i
cost and the abutters on one side of the
street to pay one-third of the cost anti
the abutters on the other side of the ’nj
street to pay the other third ofr the coat. Jam
This plan is meeting with popular up- ■ ’
proval and the city cannot let out CM* ■
tracts fast enough for the demand ns ■];
property owners all over the city have ■
raised the funds needed for having their
particular streets paved and are anxious- |H
ly waiting for the street contractors to
come along with their men and go to
work. We hope in time to have our streets 9K
as well paved as the streets of Birming* a
ham." mm

SULPHUR IS THE
ONLY THING FOR
ITCHIH6ECZEMA
1
Use like cold cream to sub- j
due irritation and clear
the skin
In the treatment of the various forms ,1
of disfiguring. Itching and burning
Eczema such as Acne, Ringworm, Salt
Kheum, there is nothing known that can J
take the place of bold-sulphur cream. |
It effects such prompt relief, even in
the aggravated Eczema that It is a |
never-ending source of amazement to 1
physicians. j
For years bold-sulphur has occupied ,
a secure position in the treatment of |
cutaneous eruptions by reason of its
cooling, para site'destroy ing properties. |
Bold-sulphur is not only parasiticidal,
but antipruritic and antiseptic, there- j
fore invaluable in overcoming Irritable J
and inflammatory affections of the skin.
While not always establishing a perma- j
nent cure, yet In every instance it in- ,
stantly stops the agonizing itching; sub- j
dues the irritation and heals the in- j
flamed, raw skin right up and it is often i
years later before any Eczema eruption !
again appears.
Those troubled should obtain from any
good pharmacist an ounce of bold-sul- I
phur cream ami apply it directly upon
the abrasion like ordinary cold cream.
It isn't unpleasant and the prompt re
lief afforded is very welcome.
