The dog measured six feet from the tip of It's noise to the end Of It's tail and weighed 225 pounds. The hair was short and resembled in color that of a greyhound.
 Quite a number of people viewed the carcass and laughed in relief that the terror of the neighborhood for week had been killed. The negroes of the countryside. however, still believe that the beast is a lion or a catamount, and are not entirely satisfied that the ter TOT has been killed, some of them still refusing to return to the fields to their work.

Prattuille Alarmed by RoUages
 of Ferocious Terror in Swan1p.

In this section of the country no one could guess. Some thought 1t might nave come from some circus that might be in the neighborhood, but on inquiry learned that there was no circus with In the State. No one but few scared negroes had seen the animal. Half eaten carcasses had been found along the road and on the outskirts of the swamp, but beyond this nothing could be learned of the terror.
 Last Friday, however. several of the brayest of Prattville citizens deter mined to rid the country or the terror. Accordingly they organized themselves into large party and arming them selves to the teeth. and securing a pack of bloodhounds, went out after the animal. Tracks of the beast were found which measured four inches wide and five inches long, while the Impressions showed. according to some estimates, that the beast must weigh at least 900 pounds, Others made much higher estimates.
 One peeuliarity of the animal seemed to be it's ability to get over ground and after three hour chase, some they would return home. However, a few remained, and they continued the hunt.
 Finally after five hours, the hounds caught up with the beast and the hunt ing party surrounded 1t in the piney woods. In attempting to escape from the party, the animal made q ferocious dash toward MT Williams, one of the hunting party. As the animal came to within about fifteen feet of MT. Will Hams. he raised his rifle and fired, killing 1t instantly.
 Curiosity prompted the members of the hunting party to examine the ani- nal and not being able to determine the nature of the beast they brought it into Prattvil1e. where 1t was discovered that the lion was only very large dog The species of the dog Is not known. but it is thought that it be- longs to the Dane or mastiff family.

The national government now gives 2,OO0, 900 a year for arming and equlp- ing the militia and for the promotion of rifle practice. Of this Alabama gets in round numbers $44,000 year.
 Not less than 10000 of this is to be devoted to the promotion of rifle prac- flee and SS4,OOO to equipment and pay of men while in field service. Of the latter amount about S15,OO0 was paid to the men in camp this summer ana the balance expended for equipment.
 Alabama ought to be ready Tor the special inspection to begin on the 2lst of next January and no doubt VIII make as good showing as almost any other State. The organization viii conform in every particular to that of the regular army and the only thing will be the equipment and this State will be pretty well up in that line.
