Tha Duke of Leeds.

In connection with the foregoing state"
ment 1t is interesting to remark the I'M
nortant mart played In this enterprise by
local parties. Mr.. ]. b. Elliot, better
known as the Duke of Leeds has been
a resident of Leeds for a number of years;
he has been untring in his efforts 10
present to capitalists and Others the pos
sibilities of utilizing the raw material and
of taking advantage of natural situa-
lions at Leeds.
Mr.. Elliot has been seconded In his
efforts by residents of Leeds with the
moral backing of prominent citizens or
Birmingham. The Duke" is naturally
happy over the results. Less than 90 days
ago he had the assurance that the plant
would be located at Leeds and would be
the largest industry of Its kind In the
south. Options were taken on various
tracts of land, containing the raw ma
terIal and these options were placed In
the hands of the Birmingham Title and
Guaranty company of which Mr.. ]. K.
Brockman is general manager. for the
purpose of having the titles to the lands
thoroughly examined. After the titles
were examined Mr.. Brockman made a
"trip to Leeds for the purpose of closing
up the options and paying for the lands;
he was met at the station by a number
of the prominent citizens of Leeds and
conducted to a hall in the town where
an elegant barbecue had been provided
and practically the entire population of
Leeds had gathered for the purpose of
celebrating the event, interesting address,
es were made by Mr.. Elliot, Mr.. j. *.
Brockman and others and the day was
pronounced a gala day in the history of
Leeds

YOUNG TALKS OF THE
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE

The Rev. Dr. G. w. Young assistant
general superintendent of the American
Anti-saloon league, Is in Birmingham and
will spend several weeks In Alabama in
the interests of the league in this state.
Dr. Young preached an interesting SER
mon yesterday morning from the pulpit
of the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church.
and again In the evening he spoke at
the First Baptist church. In both In
work the league is doing in this and other
states
He will spend some time In this dis
trict speaking in various parts of the
country. On Monday night he will be
at Woodlawn and on Tuesday he will
speak at Bessemer and very probably
will make an address at Ensley on
Wednesday night.
Dr. Young is very optimistic concern
ing the prospects for the success of
the plans proposed for this state and
talks Interestingly of the leagues work.
An active campaign will be made for the
passage of local option law by the
next legislature: and then in counties
where 1t is practicable efforts will be
made to have them voted dry"
There is little possibility of much
opposition to the passage of our local
option BILL" said DR.. Young yesterday
with a quadrennlal legislature in a
state where nearly everything is accom-
plished by special local acts the advis-
ability of such a law is evident. Fur
thermore the plan takes the matter out
of the hands Of politicians and leaves
it directly with the people. Our propo-
sition to submit the question to the peo-
pie of each county whether or not they

eminently fair that We are confident of
success.
1.-The local option law, however. is not
all that the league is working for in Ala
bama. In virginia we were confront
ed by the so-called social clubs" which
were merely saloons avoiding the high
licenses and the restrictions in regard
to closing hours. | do not refer to
genuine clubs where liquor may occa-
sionally be dispensed to bona fide mem
bers, but to places where anyone can
buy certificate of membership down
stairs and get his liquor up stairs. We
want to guard against this evil in Ala
bama.
Another fact that has especial signi-
canoe is that in many states the federal
government collects taxes for the retail
sale of liquor from nearly twice the
number of people. The records of the
internal revenue collector here show that
over 1900 persons or firms secured internal
revenue license to retail liquor in Ala
bama during the period from June 1904
TO June 1905.
"As there were only a little more than
500 saloons and four dlspensaries in the
state it is evident that about $50 federal
licenses have been issued to persons not
having state and county licenses. The
diligence and energy of the state officials
in enforcing the law and collecting the
money due the state does not compare
favorably with the efficiency and enter
prise of the federal officers, or else there
is something radically wrong in other
departments.
THE Anti-saloon league has wonderful
strength and is gaining every day. We
have had good success in other states,
and the outlook in Alabama is highly ia
vorable"

ASSAULTS JAILORS
WITH SHARP KNIFE
WILL MILLER, CONVICTED OF
MURDER, ovERPoWERED AT
COUNTY JAIL BY FELLOW CON-
vIcT AFTER HARD STRUGGLE.

VIII Miller, negro prisoner IN the
county Jail, desperately assaulted Deputy
Sheriffs Hill and Brent yesterday morning
in the bath room of the Jail, but was
subdued and his weapon taken from him
before injury was inflicted upon any one.
Miller was convicted of murder some
time ago, but the supreme court last week
granted him a new trial, and he has
been kept in the county Jail awaiting
new trial,
1t is the custom in the county jail to
allow all the prisoners to battle every
Sunday morning. Yesterday Deputies Hill
and Brent took Miller and several other
prisoners to the bath room, and when
Miller was instructed to remove his cloth
ing, he objected. He drew knife from
beneath his shirt and with his back to the
wall dared any of the men to touch MN.
F1ourlshing the weapon. he shouted:
..I,u kill the first man that comes near
me-"
Glenn Tetherow, one of the white pris-
oners at the Jail, and who has also been
convicted of murder, was near, and rush
ed at the negro so suddenly as TO eaten
him unawares. During the scufhe the ne
gro was beaten quite severely about the
head. but he was finally subdued.
The knife was made of a piece of nat
metal procured in some unexplained man
ner by the negro, and had a Keen cage.
1t was fastened to a wooden handle py
means of strips torn from blanket ana
was a formidable weapon In the hands or
a powerful man like Miller.
