THREATENS ARREST
 OF ALL POLICEMEN
DEPUTY SHERIFF IS ARRESTED BY MAYOR FOR CARRYING CON- CEALEo WEAPONS AND HE IN TURN THREATENS OFFICERS.

Anniston, December 11.-(Special)- None of the Anniston policemen had been arrested at o'clock tonight, and it seems that the threat of D. J. Reardon, deputy sheriff and special detective for the Southern railroad, to swear out warrants against them for carrying concealed pis- tols, will not be executed. Reardon was arrested by Mayor Kilby today on that ckarge and Sheriff Lagrand said he would arrest the policemen if Reardon .secnred the warra nts-.-sz@z=
 The difference arose, it is said, be- cause Officer Reardon declined to carry prisoners to the police court for pun ishment. but instead carried them before Judge Cook of the county court.
 The officer had been sworn in as a special policeman for the city by Mayor Klby and had been furnished city badge accordingly. He had also been made a deputy sheriff by Sheriff La grand, and was acting under state as well as city authority.
 lie was stripped of the city authority this morning, however, by the Mayor at the time of the arrest, but still re- tains his authority as deputy sherin.
 The arrest occurred this morning, It IS said. after the Mayor had stripped MT. Reardon of police authority and before he had been given q chance to dlsarm himself

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Prohibition Vote at cuIImsn.

To the Editor of The Age -Herald
 Tn your issue of the 10th inst. was an article with reference to the prohibition election in Cullman county. In this ar- tcle you gave the vote in the city of Gull man. as benig 21S votes for whisky and l7 votes for prohibition. This was a mis- take There were i36 votes east: for pros hibtion 159 and against prohibition ST, making q majority in the city of 21s against prohibition. Nnemont beat gave ma iority of II against prohibition. and one other small beat gave one majority against prohibition. All the other pres cincts gave large maiorities for prohihi- tion. There were l495 votes in the county for prohibitions and 726 votes against pro- hbition, making q majority in the county in favor of prohibition of 769. Prohibition carried in the county by little moro than two to one. This is from the unof- hcal returns
 I will thank you to make this correction. as we consider 1t reflection on the prohi- bition people of the city of Cullman to say that only T. votes were boiled for pro- hibition. r. E. ST. JOHN, Chairman. Culman. December Il, 1907.

CHARGES ARE FOUND
 TO BE GROUNDLESS
TROUBLE BETWEEN FLORENCE, SOUTHERN RAILROAD AND THE STREET RAILWAY IS DISCUSSED Al MEETING OF CLUB.

Florence, December 11.-(Special.)-W. D. Nesbitt, associate member Of the Ala bama railroad commission. was in Flor ence Monday night at the irritation or the transportation committee of the young Mems Commercial club, to confer with the club regarding the service given the city by the Southern railway.
 At recent meeting of the club it was specifically charged that the Southern agents refused to sell tickets to Florence; that the Sheffield company, acting as the agent of the Southern. had faliea to make connection with trains Tor tho purpose of bringing passengers to Flor ence as per agreement; that a waiting room with fire was not furnished for messengers on the midnight car and much dissatisfaction was expressed that the tracks were not run to the depot in East Florence and a waiting room fitted up there.
 J. w. worthington, vice president of the Sheffield company, was present at
 the meeting to represent his company and also spoke in defense of the South
 ern. He read a circular issued by the
 Southern to it's agents, in which they
 were directed to sell tickets to Florence.
 stating that agents refusing to do so
 were acting in violation of orders and
 that the rule would be strictly enforced
 in future.
 The other charges preferred against the road proved to be equally as groundless,
 if appearing that the only real cause of complaint the city has against the South ern being its failure to lay the track to the East Florence depot, and this demand was not pushed by the club. Mr. Nesbitt in a graceful speech dis ayowed the purpose of the commission to he hard upon anybody. He had found, he said that the most tangled matters could be strengthened out by bringing the parties together to talk it over." No action of any kind was taken and no promises given, either for the South ern or for the Sheffield company, witll the exception of the statement made by MT. Worthington that as soon as new | schedules could be printed the electric cars would go back to the old 45-minute l schedule in force before the half-hour l schedule was put on. In regard to the ] Sheffield connpany's failure to meet trains l he said that the fault was with the trains l failing to make their schedules and he would do the best he could. but could ! not promise to do any better.

SALOONS MAY KEEP OPEN.
Grard Proprietors Question Constitu-
 tionality of the Local Act.

Girard. December tSpecal)-1t still seems to be kind of open question whether the sale of liquor will continue in this city after January 1, and a num- Der of the whisky people arc, it is said, planning to continue in business here for another year.
 A local act passed q number of years ago by the legislature provides that Gi- rard shall go dry when Columbus. Ga, it's big sister just across the Chatta- hoochee, does, and under the Georgia state law Columbus will become a verita- ble Sahara after Christmas. It is claimed that this act is unconstitutional, but at the same time no formal effort to test its constitutionality has been launched. Most of the saloon people here say they will not attempt to carry on business, but there is a well defined report that eer- tain bar rooms will not close and that the matter will get into the courts.
