Montgomery, February 2J.-fSpecial.) )-- Hon. John H. Wallace, Jr., state game and fish commissioner, today issued his first official order, He informed L. Minor superintendent of the Southern Express company, with headquarters at Nash ville of the provisions of the game law relating to the prohibition of the ship ment of game. The attention of the su- perintendent of the express company was directed to section F of the new game law, which provides that it is unlaw- ful for any person who has lawfully killed the same in this state to take, ship or transport out of this state, or ship or transport within the state. any of the birds or game animals protected by the laws of thls state, unless the same be in the personal possession of or carried open ly by the owner thereof and such per son carrying said game shal have in his possession, issued to him. q nonresident license, if the game Is to be carried out of the state, and shall have resident license issued to him under the pro- visions of this act, and shall accompany said game birds or game animals on the same train or other conveyance of d com- mon carrier if the game is shipped within this state"

TALLADEGA HAS 4
 STUBBORN FIRE Oil Mill is Damaged to the Ex- tent eff S15,000 CHURCH NOT DISTURBED Congregation Does Not Move Nor Bat an Eye at Fire Alarm, Not Even
 When the Lights
 Go Out.
CHURCH NOT DISTURBED

Ta1ladega, February 25-(Speeial.)-T firemen had very hard fight last night at 7:90 o'clock. when the alarm was turned in from the Talladega Oil mill. Flames were bursting from the roof and windows when the department reached the scene in less than one minute after the alarm.
 The building is a two-story brick filled with all the inflammable material usually found in d cotton seed oil mill, For quite a while the four streams of water poured on it did not seem at all to diminish the flames, but finally the firemen carried the hose to the roof and second story, opened all the windows and poured a perfect de- luge of water inside, actually drowning out the fire.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, the night watchman claiming that the stove turned over The loss will be probably $15,O0O full covered by insurance. The mill was equipped with modern appliances for fighting fire, and had it been day time and any other day except Sunday, the loss would have been less, The firemen con fined the blaze to the building, and they deserve much credit for hard work and courage in the face of a stubborn and dangerous fire.
 It is significant of the religion and zeal of Talladega congregation that no ordi- nary circumstance will break up their meeting Just as services began at the Methodist church last night the nerve racking notes of the syren fire alarm 1n- dicated a big fire close by, but the Metho- dists sat stolid not worshiper bat ting an eye. In a few minutes the elec- tric lights were turned out, leaving the congregation and the city in total dark ness but the brethren started cheerful hymn while one of the ushers lit the gas, and the service proceeded to it's natural close.
 Tom Thomas, the negro who was shot by the white man, Otto Gossett, in a sa- loon Saturday night. is still alive, and u is thought he has some chance for recoV- cry. although shot twice entirely through his body. Gossett is wanted in Calhoun county, having fled from there to avoid arrest for larceny of a shot gun. Gossett expresses no contrition for the deed speaking of it in a very f1ippant, cold blooded way.
 Sheriff Middleton returned this morning from Anniston, having in his custody Jack Miller, colored, who was indicted by the last grand jury for selling whisky with out license at Eastaboga, this county.
