RUMORS AS TO LITTLE
CASHIER OF DEFUNCT MONTE
 VALID BANK.
Story That He Has Been Arrested in Another State and Then Re- leased on Habeas Corpus
 Proceedings.

Birmingham, June 11.-(SpeciaD-' Sensational rumors are afioat regard ing the recent failure of the Shelby County Bank located at Montevallo. One of these stories Is to the enect that Burgt ss Little, the Cashier, Is nor at Montevallo, and is thought to have left the State and that papers for his arrest have been issued. Receiver J. H. Wallace of this city, who was re- gently appointed to take charge of the bank. when seen this morning stated to reporter that he knew nothing Of the whereabouts of MT. Little, but that he had heard in Montevallo that lit- tie had been arrested in another State but that he secured his release upon habeas corpus proceedings before the necessary papers would be sent for holding him. Receiver Wallace statSd further that he has not had time as yet to investigate the affairs of the bank fully but that there is no doubt but that the baok had been conducted upon the money of the depositors. The bank was capitalized at $25,O00 but Mr. Wallace says that about s4.000 was paid in as far as is known and this went into the building and fixtures. She tsto-. Is told in Montevallo that less tkfr $4.000 of the capital stock of the bank was paid in and that $500 of de positors'i money was used in furnish ing the bank. William Walker of Blocton was at the head of the bank and 1t is said furnished whatever cap ital went into it, but he left the man. agement of affairs to Cashier Little, he (Walker) being in business in Blocton and going to Montevallo occasionally. Walker recently filed a petition in bankruptcy here and this led to the appointment of a receiver for the bann, he praying that such action be taken. When questioned as to the resources of the bank Receiver Wallace said he could not say definitely. but was of the opinion that the assets would net suf- ficientiy to pay depositors almost 50 cents on the dollar If not quite this sum. The deposits in the bank are said to have been about $23.000. It was the only bank in the Montevallo section and was patronized by the population of the entire surrounding country Cashier Little was one of the most prominent citizens of Shelby County. having had & number of interests out side of the bank. What he Is charged with is not stated, but the warrant for his arrest it is said, was sworn out by one of the depositors. Nothing def mite of the reported arrest of MT. Lit
 tie can be learned. One story is that he was apprehended in Kentucky and another says in Tennessee. He has a family at Montevallo and also has nu merous friends who do not believe that his connection with the bank was in any way questionable.

Shipments of Pig Iron.

Shipments of pig iron from the Ala bama and Tennessee field during the month of May aggregated 12s,2S0 tons, an increase over the same month last year of 5000 tons. Export shipments amounted to only 156 tons as against 1S.000 tons last year. This falling off Is explained by the fact that the do- nestle demand now is so large as to practically shut out foreign shipments. The shipments of pig iron from the Birmingham District for May were 74,013, a decrease of 5000 tons. The total shipments of cast Iron pipe from Alabama. and Tennessee in May amounted to 15,263 tons, an increase over last year of 5000 tons. Of the above, 1888 tons were forwarded from the Birmingham District. Cast iron pipe exports were 165 tons. against 800 tons last year. The amount of steel billets shipped in May was 6,7S5 tons against none last year. Altogether the shipments for the month make an ex- celIent showing.

industrial Aspect. of cn..nra.

The Florida Times-Union and Citizen
says: renewed interest is impaired TO
the subject of cassava by a request for
information lately received by the Agricul-
turst of the Florida Experiment Station
This request emanates from a Chicago
company, who own 10000 acres of land
near Pensacola, and who desire, among
other things, 10 grow cassava and estab-
hsh starch factory, II the information
seems to warrant it,
There has been really only two years
growth of cassava raised in Florida for
starch making purposes on commercial
scale; previous crops had been grown
only i'm an experimental way. There are
two factories in Volusia county, one at
Deand. one at Lake Helen; and one at
Lake Mary. Those at Deland and Lake
Mary have manufactured and shipped
starch of a high quality, which has been
taken at satisfactory prices by Northern
dealers. The one at Lake Helen is of
comparatively recent establishment, and
has handled chiefly the Dade county
starch plant. cOOntis. but is in good shape
and prepared to work up a growing crop
OF cassava next fall in a business-like
way.
The results thus far achieved are en-
courasIng, considering the fact that
cassava is a plant hitherto entirely I'M
known 10 modern manufacturing pro-
cesses either in this or any other county.

STOCK STEALING IN BREVARD.

According to the Kissimmee Valley Ga
zette stock thieving is rampant in Bre-
ward county. The Gazette says: "Judg-
ing from the report of Mai. Alex st. Clair
Abrams. attorney for the Stockmen's AS
ISOLATION of Osceola county, published be-
low, Brevard county is several years be-
hind Osceola county in the protection Of
its stock industry. The report discloses
a deDlora Bile state of affairs. Cow steal
ing seems to be condoued by the juries
of our sister county. The people OF Bre-
ward seem to be Indifferent to a class of
crime that has aroused the conscience of
most of the other counties of South Flori-
da. Osceola and Polk have organized
against cow stealing, so have Volusia and
Orange, Clay, Sumter, Pasco and Lake.
In all these counties the courts are sus-
tanned in the suppression of cow stealing
by strong and wholesome local senti-
ment. What is the matter with Brevard?
Are the stockmen of Brevard incapable
and powerless to protect themselves? Is
the stock industry of Brevard so insight
ficant as to be unworthy of justice at the
hands of Titusville juries? Are. the peo-
pie of Brevard so backward and ignorant
and prejudiced that they will tolerate
abuse of an organization like the Stock
mems Association, when the whole ten
dency of modern industry is towards the
organization of mutual interests? Stock
mems associa lions are recognized as pow
ers for good wherever operated. Is Bre-
ward to be allowed without protest to
abuse a system that is approved through
out the United States? Brevard county
has supplied this circuit with a strong,
upright and learned judge. II had now
better improve its juries. for the strong
est judge is helpless without a strong
jury and a strong public sentiment"
In his report to the Stockmen's Associa-
ton Maj st. Clair-Abrams says of a re-
cent acquittal: THE verdict was as pos
tive disgrace to the county of Brevard
as was the verdict in the Feaster case.
For some time past not single case of
cattle stealing has been convicted in Bre-
ward county. In view Of the rumors that
are in circulation in that county. l think
your association should consider whether
or not any action is necessary looking to-
wards the protection of cattle in BEe-
ward. | have been Informed that since
the extraordinary verdict in the Roberts
case, more cattle has been stolen I'm the
Fort Drum district. and the owners OF
this property have declared that they
will not even take the trouble OF inves-
tigating, as they cannot get protection
from a Brevard county jury"

Coyvpcns as Hay

hay-producing plant OF the many
legumes adapted to Southern conditions
this one stands peerless as a forage or
hay-ylelder, as
First-It makes an enormous growth Of
vines.
second-It may be termed a sure crop
and a prolific ylelder OF a hay marvel
ously rich in protein.
Third-It is thus superbly adapted TO the
production of muscular energy. milk and
flesh In the various classes of domesti-
Gated animals.
There are many varieties OF cowpeas.
Those best adapted for hay are the I'm
known, Blackeye, and Whip-poor-w
Cowpeas may be divided into two gem
eral classes, runners and bush varieties
The runners are especially valuable where
the crop is TO be pastured off the lana by
hogs or other live stock. or plowed I'M
der The bush varieties are especially
useful for seed. The running varieties
are valuable for hay when bulk Is con-
tidered. but they arc difficult 10 harvest.
owing to the tangled nature Of the vines.

varieties will produce a vigorous growth

A New Spraying Liquid

Saccharate of copper is now being men
toned as a coming competitor of Bor-
deaux mixture. The latter, strange to say.
was simply a chance discovery. and the
receipt has never been materially improv-
ed upon since the first ma :ke-up. The
formula for the new liquid is as follows:
For twenty-five gallons of the. spray
ing liquid slake and make into milk OF
lime four pounds of quicklime; dissolve
four pounds of molasseS in one gallon Of
water and mix with the milk of lime
This will make a solution of saccharate
of lime Stir thoroughly, and let stand
for a few hours. Next dissolve four pounds
of bluestone in eight or ten gallons OF wa
ter and pour into it the lime-molasses
solution while stirring briskly. The mix
ture becomes very turbid with the gypsum
formed, which may be allowed to settle,
leaving a clear, greenish solution of sac
charate of copper which may be drawn
off from the sediment, thus obviating AL
danger of clogging the spray-nozzle and
leaving no discoloration on leaves or fruit.
II it is to be used on leafiess trees IL may
be at once thinned down to the twenty
five gallons wanted, since even thus the
LIQUID is much thinner than the Bordeaux
mixture of equal strength"
