PLANNING TO BUY
 WOODSTOCK PLANT
w. w. M'AFEE WILL GO INTO MAN. UFACTURE OF BUILDING AND PAVING STONE FROM sLAG IN ANN1STON.

Anniston, December IS (SpeciaD.-A large iron and steel manufacturer from one of the northern cities has been here within the past week and inspected the property of the Woodstock Iron company and also it's coal and ore properties in other counties, with a view to purchas- ing and operating the plant. He expressed himself as being individually pleased with the proposition and will make a report to his company which may result in the purchase of all the Woodstock holdings In Alabama
 w. w. McAfee closed lease yesterday for the property on Eleventh street abut- ting the railroad tracks, on which he will locate plant for the manufacture of building and paving stone out of sand and cement by the recent greatly im- proved processes.
 Builders and contractors all know that this new method of stone making is here to stay. While practically 1t is a new discovery in modern times, the pro- cess was known to the ancients, as the handsome buildings in many resurrected cities and even the pyramids themselves testify. The gentlemen will also use fur mace slag in the manufacture of these  blocks and insists that they will be all the better and more durable thereby. There are now hundreds of handsome houses and public buildings in the large cities of this country constructed of these blocks. MT. McAfee expects his machines to arrive within ten days and will imme- diately get his plant in operation.
 Deputy Collector w. w Battle and Deputy Marshal Greene yesterday cap tured one of the largest illicit stills dis covered in some time in the wilds of Shelby county, about eight miles east of Shelby Iron Works. The still was of good make and had been in operation but a short while. A run had been made just few days before the revenue off cers found it, but twenty-two gallons of fermented liquor and 1000 gallons of beer were found and destroyed The distil- lery was located a mile and a half from the Cahaba river. on Wahatchie creek, and the water from this large creek was used for making the liquor The still was completely destroyed by the officers. No one was arrested.

LITTLE CHILD IS
 BURNED TO CRISP
CLAUDY BROCK WAS ASSISTING HIS FATHER IN BURNING BRUSH ON CLEARING IN EToWAH COUNTY.

Gadsden. December 1s Special. )-Clau- dy Brock, the Swear old son of A. E.. Brock. who lives at Aurora, Etowah county, some eighteen miles from Gads- den, was burned to death last Friday morning while in the woods with his father.
 MT. Brock was clearing some land and had been burning some brush. The leaves had become ignited and burned for some distance, and when the little boy un- dertook to reach his father his clothes became ignited and before his father could reach him in answer to his heart rending cries, he was burned to a crisp and death had claimed his life. The body was horribly burned and the flesh pealed off in flakes wherever touched.

SEVERAL SMALL BuReLARIEs.
CulIman Merchants Were Troubled
 During Past Week.

Cullman, December IS. Special )-Cull- man has had two or three small bur- glaries this week. Last night burglars entered the store of P. B. Kinney, drug gist and secured something like $300, some pocket knives and possibly some other small things that have not yet been missed. The store of Mages Bros. was also entered last night and about Sl0 or SIP in money extracted. The money taken from both stores was most ly in nickels and dimes and that fact led to the possible identity of the guilty parties this morning.
 This morning two small boys had ten dollars in nickels and dimes changed into five dollar bills. This was an un- usual amount for these boys to have at one time and they were at once spotted No arrests have yet been made, but will be at once. Entrance to both these stores was made through back windows. Gull man has had a great deal of trouble with small burglaries of this kind, and it is hoped that few arrests will break

and yet there is a degree of art In It
that is little short of wonderful. In
fact. he realizes that If he would get
recognition Of his work he must put a
certain amount OF excellence of execu-
ton in 1t and that 1t must have the
idea behind 1t.
1t may be all we'll enough and good
to amuse the tickle public a minute or
so daily, but this is not the ambition
of the newspaper illustrator. Nine out
OF ten aspire to magazine and book
work and when that step has been
achieved they long and dream of the
day when the wolf can be kept away
and the larder supplied by the skill
OF the brush and not the pen. This.
forsooth, is one reason why he tries
his hand at little of everything-pen
and pencil. wash, water colors and oils,
first one and then another, to see which
medium is best adapted for his own
particular style of work.
And so it is that the everyday light
ming artist Is slowly but surely work.
ing his way to prominence in his chosen
profession. Almost in the dark. as 1t
were. for, while he is experimenting
and gaining, the world sees his hurried
sketches of daily happenings and gives
his ability scarcely more than a pass
ing thought.
It is rush, rush, rush, in a daily pa
per, with the men ana women of the
artroom above all other departments
There is no time to sit and dream and
plan. And artists can't live on aspira-
tions and day dreams. And so it is
just because the best work of artists
whose names are familiar to all news
paper readers cannot Of necessity ap-
pear in the papers they work for that
the league has been formed for the pur-
pose of bringing to the notice of news
