Laborers on Court House at PrattyiIIe
 Quit Their Work,

Prattville, June 19-(Special.) )-The common laborers who have been at work on the court house job went out this morning on a strike for higher wages, and shorter hours.

 During the past week, W. w. Battle of Jacksonville, and thre~ deputy reve- nue inspectors have been in the city examining the books of the wholesale liquor dealers of the city. They ex- amined the books to find the names of those people in the Selma territory selling whiskey without United States licenses.
 It Is understood that the four men took down a large number of names and those taken down will be called upon within few days for the amount they are due the Government for the privilege of selling whiskey in the county. It is said that there are a great number of blind tigers in the ter ritory surrounding this city and the visit of the revenue officers here Is for the purpose of collecting the amount of the license.
 The report was current on the streets today that on Saturday these revenue officers went out to Marion Junction and that while there they collected $100 each from four of the citizens of that place who were selling whiskey. Whether there is any truth in the re- port could not be learned or the names Of the parties from whom the license money. with the cost of collection, was collected
 The last grand jury of Dallas County made an investigation of the blind tig- CTS in the county and a number of true bills, were found, but for some reason there were no convictions in the cases. 1t is believed that when that body meets again a more thorough investiga- tion will be made, and that everything possible will be done to convict those who are guilty of selling whiskey out side of the city.
