BACK TO BARRACKS
DESERVING MARINE TIRES OF FREEDOM AND LONGS FOR
 DISCIPLINE.
Selma Police will Return HIm-Circuit Court At SeIma-Grand Jury
 Will Convene And Re- ceiYe Charge.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, Sept. IS. A white man giving his name as Will liam Stevens. called at police headquar- ters this morning and gave himself up to the officers of the law. It was not known by the police officials that Stew ems had been guilty of violating any laws of the city or State and at first his voluntary surrender for some un- known crime puzzled them.
 The young man told the officers that he was a deserter from the United States navy. He did not have the means with which to pay his railroad fare and thought that the best way for him to do would be to surrender and let the officers notify the proper officials who would send for him.
 Stevens told the police officials that he enlisted in the marine service and that he had been stationed at Pensa- cola. Last Wednesday he tired of ar my life and deserted and came to Sel- ma. Last night he began to long for the old life of the barracks and with this longing came the decision to sur render and return to It.
 The young man will probably be sent to Pensacola tomorrow morning in charge of a member of the police department The officials of the navy at Pensacola were today notified of his surrender and will doubtless ask that he be returned to them.

down, ostensibly for repairs. The com pany then sought other labor, negroes, and the pudding forges were started up few days since with negroes hand ling the muck iron, a queer sight. Ne gro and non-union labor is used ex- clusively at Bessemer in the rolling mills and effort is to be made to op- crate the big mills in Birmingham in the same way. Negro labor will be sought to work in the finishing depart ments also. The outcome of this ven ture is being watched with interest,
 The demand for coal and coke in this State continues. The railroads are beginning to look after an equal distribution of cars to the coal com panies and it is believed that in a short while some arrangements will have been arrived at that the shippers will get their needs met. It is now an nounced that the railroads are in a position to help in bringing the Rn- nual output out to its fullest extent. If fifteen million tons of coal are ex- pected this year, the railroads will have to furnish more cars steadily.

WILL TAKE UP WORK TODAY

Governor B. B. Conner arrived ir the city yesterday evening from Bir' mingham. after his two weeks vaca' tion spent in New York Atlantic City and other points. The Governor went at once to the residence of his son-in- law. Hon. J. Craig Smith, at 21s Church street.
 Governor Conner spent the evening quietly. and few knew that he had reached the city. To those who saw him he told of a very pleasant sojourn in the East, during which he banished affairs of State from his mind and gave himself up to the full enjoyment of the freedom from all cares
 The Governor declined to be inter viewed on any topic, preferring not to take up the affairs of State in any particular until he arrives at his of- flee this morning. There are so many matters of importance to be looked after that he will be kept extremely busy this week, at least.
 Today he will be engaged in con- ferences of various nature, and with looking over the matters that have been attended to by Secretary Fort during his absence from the city.
 Tomorrow the Governor will deliver an address before the convention of Tax Assessors, which will be called to order in the Hall of the House of Representatives at noon. His speech will follow the addres of welcome, which will be delivered by Treasurer Walter D. Seed.
 Govtrnor Conner has been quoted as saying that he sees no more reason now why an extra sessio nof the Leg islature should not be called than be- fore he left the State, as matters are in practically the same condition. This means that there is now no doubt about the extra session being called.

CHANGE FOOD
And Lose Thnt Uneasy Feeling

A man who has always been skin ny chap although hardly ever i'll, tells of the way he put on flesh and reduced his irritability and nervous condition.
 By chance he had taste of Grape Nuts food at the table of a friend and enjoyed the favour so much that he be- gan to have it every meal. He says:
 "In a short time l found myself an other person, tEe old feeling of discon- tent and uneasiness left me entirely, it became pleasure to go about my work, whereas. before, for years. had always had the feeling of being little weary, but now I seem to have a sur plus of energy for everything; my weight has increased II pounds in four weeks, and am still gaining.
 T have never been very sick and am satisfied if my present improvement in health continues, I shall not be.

serious Charges.


 E Charges of a serious nature have been made to the Governor against Sheriff James c. Van Pelt. the allegations be- ing signed by Maude C. Bftner, a young German woman who, for a short while, was an inmate of the Jail, upon the charge of living in adultery. The allegations against the Sheriff are that he attempted to be intimate with the girl while she was a prisoner. This Is emphatically denied by the Sheriff who stated, that he not only treated the woman with all due respect, but when she was unable to eat the jail food had meals sent to her from a restaurant. Governor Blanchard has ordered State Auditor Amos to come to Pensacola and make thorough exam inatfon into the charges. The State Auditor has announced that next Thurs day he will make the investigation. The Sherift has employed attorneys to represent him, and the State has also employed counsel to assist the State Auditor in the investigation.

Harry Altman, alleged to have been connected with the padding of pay rolls of the county in making repairs to the county courthouse, was exon- erated by jury in the Criminal Court at a late hour last night. The trial consumed two days, and about sixty witnesses were examined. many of which were character witnesses. Some of the men employed by Altman testified to receiving smaller sums of money than the amounts drawn from the county for them, but the defense claimed that Altman had the right to charge any price he might see ft for the labor of his regular force. The jury remained out only a short time after being charged by the court.
