ALLEGED FORGER RELEASED
Satisfactory Information Could Not
be Secured From Illinois
Authorities to Hold Him.

George Martin, who was arrested
one day last week on information sup
piled through the publication Of a
detective bureau, was released and
Monday he took the train for Aber
deem, and from there he says he will
go to Bismarck, N. d.
Chief Keith, in whose custody
Martin "a left. could get no definite
information from the parties in Peo-
ria and Joliet, Ill.,, where it was
claimed he was wanted for forgery,
and he was released with the under
standing that he would get out OF
town at once. Martin was in clined
to be a little on the bluff order and
declared that he would make it hot
for the city of Mitchell. When the
chief ordered him placed in Jail again
Martin cooled off somewhat and was
ready to take the train on its depart
ure.
There is no doubt but what Martin
is a smooth individual in his line,
Judging from his own statements, and
doubtless he will be heard from be,

The Alabama Renorts.

It seems to be the undisputed fact that the reports of the divisions of the Su- preme Court of this State are scarce and getting scarcsr. and that 1t is the duty of the State to have its laws. and the courts construction of the laws within the reach of all of it's citizens.
 The scarcity of the feports is due to several causes, some of which are the small number of the original edition, and also the constant drafts being made from outside the State for complete sets. Our Supreme Court has uniformly held So high position among tho courts of the country that it is not surprising that its logic, learning and research should be called upon to aid in solving the many questions oe law which attend the prog gress of our civilization.
 Repeated efforts have been made by the law-maldng power 10 handle the Ques- ton, but so far without success. It Is to be hoped that this question will be solved at the present session of the Leg islature in some way that will settle it for all time to come and reflect honor and credit upon the State,

Raising Hogs Without Corn.

Editor The Advertiser.
 Some ornate man has said that words htly spoken are like apples of gold set in pictures of silver" or words to that effect.
 Now whether what am about to say Will be 'titly spoken or not, the statements VIII be true and also useful if they make the intended impression.
 An article in this mornings Advertiser headed Not a Good Argument" attract ed my attention and upon examination l found paragraph quoted from a Hunts Vile paper in which the concession was made that hogs cannot be raised without corn and that in case of bad crops the business might as well be abandoned. The Advertisers comment upon the para graph referred to substantially says that hogs may be raised notwithstanding the scarcity of corn, but does not tell how; that 1t has information from nearly ev- cry portion of the State that meat Is being raised by indivrGuiis and 1t might have added by large communities and sections of the State.
 The Advertiser Is right that meat rais- ing should not be abandoned under any circumstances, but 1t does not go far enough possibly for want of accurate in- formation, as to what is being done by thousands of farms in Alabama. Now for the information: The farmer or other per- son who is tied down to the Idea that hogs cannot be raised in Alabama with out corn Is wanting in knowledge of what Is being done and of the possibili- ties in the matter If hog raising in the State. in Henry, Dale, Coffee, Geneva, portions of Barbour, Pike, Crenshaw and other wire grass cou1-lcs large quantities of meat are being raised and fattened into splendid pork without the use of a grain of corn, simply upon peanuts or ground peas. 1t is well known fact that one acre in ground peas upon average land will produce an amount of hog-fat- tening food equal to three acres of corn, which does not have 70 be gathered, the hogs do that. The writer heard Dale County man say last week that there would be no need to purchase pound of bacon in that county this year notwith- standing the bad crop year. The ground peas were made by the late rains, after the corn crop mad been lost by the drought, l may Do pardoned trust for making q personal reference.
 A couple of years ago enquired of the wardens of the convicts at Wetumpka and Speigner whether they had seed gr6und peas. They answered no that they had not been raising them. inlmedi- ateIy ordered sufficient seed from the Alexander Seed Company of Augusta, Ga., for the two places and Tor two years good quantities of meat have been raised 9f both places. Br, Bunkley tells me this rnornine that he has killed ten thousand pounds this season, fattened without sratn of corn, and Mir. Fields tells me that near the same quantity has been raised at Speigner without corn and that suficient potatoes and ground peas are stin in rhe ground to feea the hogs tlli March. Every portion of Alabama will nroduce ground aels in unlimited quanti- ties The ground pea crop in Virginia bJtnes millions of dollars every year raised for the oil alone In Alabama 1t can be made worth more for rai5iag and fattening stock of every klnd,
