SPECIAL TERM IS
 CALLED FOR TRIAL
LOUIS ADKINS WILL BE TRIED AT oNcE-scoTTSBoRo AROUSED OVER CONTINUED LAWLEsS- NESS IN THE CITY.

scottsboro, November S.-(Special.)- Acting Governor Cunningham has, after eonfering with Solicitor John F. Proctor. and others, ordered an extra session Of the circuit court to convene In Scotts- boro on Monday. December 12 to try Louis Adkins, who was remanded to jail without ball, here today in prelimin- ary trial before the probate judge Of the county on the charge of killing young Peter Caffman of Bridgeport last Wednes- day night.
 This killing is looked upon by the citi- zens of this place, as one of the most unprovoked and deliberate murders in the history of the county. Young Catf- man was an utter stranger to Adkins never having seen or spoken to him up to the time of the shooting.
 There seems to be a general awakening of the people over the whisky drinking and illegal selling of whisky here, and today a special man was ebployed to arrest all caught. or known to sell whisky or be seen drunk on the streets.
 Bill Wooten an old moonshiner was brought before the probate judge on seven charges of retailing whisky and a bond of S2O0 in each case required ol him, which he failed to make and he will remain in jail until the extra term of court Strong sermons were preached from the pulpit of prominent churches here on Sunday of the lawlessness of the town. This Is a prohibition town, yet 1t is no unusual thing for twenty-five to forty gallons of whisky to be put off one express train.

NEGRO FOUND DEAD.
It Is Thought That He Was Killed
 During a Crap Game.

Opelika, November S.-(Special)-At o'clock this morning a drayman found Crawford Calhoun. colored, lying in a pool of blood in the woods at Gentry Hill, in the southern part of the city. where he had evidently lain for day or two. He was unconscious, his skull was crushed and his face badly battered.
 Near was a club which had played a part in the struggle, and something over two dollars in money lying near adds color to the theory that there was a fight over crap game. No arrests have been made, but the officers claim they have clues which will lead to arrests which may untangle the mystery. Cal houn cannot recover, the physician states.
