COKE OVENS WILL
 SOON BE BURNING
SMOKE AGAIN RISING FROM THE BATTERIES AT PRATT CITY. MINERS RECEIVE SUPPLIES TO- DAY-oTHER NEWS.

Pratt City, October -(Special)-The people of Pratt City saw the smoke ris- ing from the Tennessee company's coke ovens in West Pratt this afternoon for the first time in nearly four months. It was a welcome sight, as 1t seems that the batteries. consisting of over 300 coke ovens. will soon be in operation again, giving employment to a large number of men.
 This afternoon the work of relghting the ovens was commenced, and one by one the ovens will be put in blast In a few days it is expected that the ovens will again be turning out coke in large quantities. Already the trains have be- gun to dump coal into the bins and everything around the ovens Is resuming its usual appearance of activity.
 At Thomas the industries are again in their normal condition. The coke ovens and two of the furnaces are in full blast and that indications are that No. l fur mace will be placed in operation.

Attempt Is Made to Wreck Gin Near

Anniston October 12.-(Special.)-An at- tempt was made Monday afternoon to blow up the gin of Messrs. Massey and Chitwood, two miles from Oxford, by dyn- amite. Just who are the perpetrators is not known. although there are said to be strong suspicious.
 About three or four weeks ago the gin burned. It had been rebuilt the maehin- cry all placed, and in order to test 1t, fire was started in the engine. The water in the boiler was scarcely warm when the explosion took place. No one was hurt which seems almost incredible. Yesterday when workmen began clearing away the debris in order to make repairs an un- exploded dynamite bomb was found in one of the fues. It Is thought If this also had exploded the damage would have been serious and doubtless caused some loss of life

CHARGE AGAINST ENSLEY MAN IS DISMISSED IN GEORGIA-RE- PUBLICANS WILL HOLD MEET ING-oTHER NEWS.

Ensley, October 12-(SpeciaL)-T ha- beas corpus proceedings, to have E. L. Swann released, and instituted by Attor- ney w. W. Shortridge in the Birming- ham city court before Judge Charles w. Ferguson, will not come up in the courts next Saturday. Swann was today re- leased from custody by request of Gov ernor Terrell of Georgia, made through Governor Cunningham. The sheriff of this county held requisition papers for Swann's appearance in Rockmart county, Ga, which were duly signed by Governor Terrell and honored by Governor Cum ningham. He is charged with deserting a child, but as the case against Swann has been dismissed in Georgia, he was ordered released.
 Swann has been living in Ensley for several years and has been with the liar ris-Lovelady Furniture company for some time. He gave himself up yester. day to Deputy Sherill Eubank, who held requisition papers from the governor of Georgia. His attorney, w. w. Short ridge, who has investigated the charges against Swann, discovered that the case against him in Georgia had been dismiss ed. He at once took the matter up with Governor Terrells private secretary and the secretary in turn took it up with the governor, who is in Maine at present. Governor Terrell then informed Governor Cunningham that the case against Swann had been dismissed. The governor noti- fled the sheriff's office to release Swann.
 The man released is prominently con nected in Georgia. One of his brothers is a solicitor general in Georgia and an- other is a sheriff in that state

To Discuss Politics.

The Beat 45 Republican club will meet at the Woodmens hall tomorrow night in it's regular weekly meeting The main question, however, that will probably come before the club will be the matter of endorsing an aldermanic ticket to be voted for in the November primary The situation seems to be somewhat muddled. Last week committees from the Republi- can and the Good Government clubs met for the purpose of agreeing upon an al- dermanic ticket. which was to be re- ferred back to the two clubs for their ratification.
 Last Monday the Good Government club met and endorsed the entire ticket with the exception of two aldermen from the Third ward The club turned down that part of the report referring to the alder men from the Third ward. Another com mittee was appointed, consisting of mem- bers of the Good Government club and two other candidates were substituted.
 There seems to be some speculation as to what action the Republican club will take in the matter. So far no member of the club has given out any expression, and what the sentiment of the club is in regard to the endorsement or rejection of the Good Government clubs alder manic ticket is not known.
