 The gold mining business seems to be on a better basis in Tallapoosa County than ever before-there are three mines in active operation in the county and they are paying well. There is considerable activity in min eral lands and many strangers are vis- iting the county prospecting.
 County Court was in session yester- day and a number of unimportant cases disposed of. In the case of the State vs. Gould Tapley, charged with selling whiskey without license, the defendant waived trial and in default of bond was sent 70 jail, but was able to furnish bond this morning. Tapley is an old and well known man of Eagle Creek beat and claims that he has only been selling home made grape wine.
 The 6 o'clock closing rule went into effect here yesterday afternoon with the merchants.
 Farmers throughout this section re- port a good stand of cotton, though the young plant Is being injured some by the continued cool weather.

In Police Court.

Int first man up in Police Court this morning was white man named John Burton, who was up with three war rants against him. The three war rants were for grand larceny, drunk and disorderly and for being a suspi- cious character. Burton was found asleep across the railroad tracks near the Southern's coal shute in North Selma last night full of booze. He had intended to get on a freight train and go to Birmingham and did get on a train but was put off. It is claimed that after he was put off of the train he went back to the caboose and got the conductors grip and tore it to pieces.
 There also appeared in court G. A. Buchanan, who claimed that Burton en- tered his room early yesterday morning and took from beneath his pillow a pocket book containing $65, and that he had been looking for the man ever since and only found him last night after he had been arrested. Burton was taken out again and searched, but the money could not be found. A hobo had been locked in the cell with him during the night, but there was no evidence to show that he had given him the money. Burton was adjudged not guilty in the two cases of grand larceny and being a suspicious char acter, but was fined $45 for disorderly conduct.
 The case against Richard Thomas. charged with burglary, was discharged.
 Sofa Kingston and Walter DeLoach were up on a charge of violating the sanitary ordinance. Sofa pleaded guilty and was assessed $5 and Walter was discharged.
 Bill Berg was assesses $45 or ninety days on the charge of larceny heard in court yesterday morning and was then arraigned on a charge of discharging fire arms in the city limits. In the latter case a fine of $45 or ninety days more was placed against Berg.
 The decision in the case of Alice Emmerson, who was also tried at yes- terday's morning session. was rendered and Alice was fined $20 or forty days.
 Eugene Cross. white man. who was found drunk and asleep at the Union passenger station Monday night, at his own request was given ten minutes to get out of the city.
 Della Eyed was fined $45 in case of discharging fire arms in the city limits and dismissed in case of larceny.
 Jennie Hall for violating the sanitary ordinance was fined $5.
