Victim of
 Shooting Dead

Continued From Page One.) think he can be put in jail without his suffering very much.
 Sheriff Philpot removed McVay to the county jail at 8 o'clock this after noon.
 SOrrells Is Engaged.
 Soon after the shooting yesterday, in fact throughout the day, John Mo Way had the appearance of being up- on the verge of collapse. His per- sonal appearance indicates that he is almost in the last stages of con- sumption. It will be a surprise to many people if he lives to go through his trial.
 Just before going to press we learn that he has retained w. B. Sorrrells as his leading counsel. MT. Sorrells when seen this afternoon said he had nothing to say regarding the case at this time, excepting that he had been employed to defend McVay. It is un- derstood that the State will employ additional counsel in the prosecution. The murder case promises to be one of the most stubbornly fought ever heard in this county. Sorrells made an enviable record as a criminal law yer when he served this district as it's prosecuting attorney and the fact that Judge w. D. Jones will look after the interests of the State will alone convince a casual observer that the States case will be ably handled.

MIXING BEGINS AT
FERTILIZER PLANT
Busy Scenes at New lndustry-Begins
Shipping Finished Product In
Two Weeks,

Bessemer, January S.-(Special.)-The
scenes around the Jefferson Fertilizer
company's plant east of this city are fast
becoming lively and interesting. Two
days ago the mixing began, this being
well along in the process of manufacture.
The acid plant went into operation on
December %, and has been giving COM
plete satisfaction, turning out large guam
titles of sulphuric acid The Pratt pro-
cess, one of the best known, is in use,
while with the most up-to-date arrange
ments and perfect machinery the work is
most interesting to view.
In the main building the grinding of
the phosphate rock is going on in one
department, and is mixed with the acid
in another. About 100 tons of acid phos-
plate is turned out daily.
All the ingredients for making up the
finished products have been received, are
stored in the warehouse, and at the end
of two weeks the shipping may com
mence. Many orders are already on the
files, it being the object to ship 5000 tons
this spring, and for next year the output
is estimated at $1,000 tons. The building
and property cost about 100000.
Thirty-fiye or forty men are now being
used at the plant, but shortly the force
will have to be increased to 100. William
Lowndes is the genial superintendent,
working under the direction of President
]. G. Whitfield of Birmingham.

than the 1000 mark and that the railroads
passing through the city had not provid-
ed a depot according to the law.
It petitioned that the Alabama Great
Southern and the Southern railroads be
ordered to comply with the law by con-
structing a suitable depot for the use
of travellers.
At the next meeting of the commits
sroners a committee. consisting of two Of
the members. was appointed to go to
Jonesboro and investigate. Since that time
the matter has been dropped. At every
meeting the petition has been brought
up. and regularly laid over to the next
meeting Only yesterday the usual post
ponement came in order at the state
capitol, and Jonesboro still remains with
out her depot.
To the citizens of the town ii would
appear that the committee has never
found time to go to Jonesboro and in
Vestigate the conditions or, having done
so. the Investigation developed some I'M
favorable fact, yet unknown to the in
habitants, which would debar them from
being granted a depot.
The town needs a depot perhaps more
than any other in the state, as the travel
on the roads is large and the population
is continually growing. The people hope
that the new commission will not delay
the matter much longer and that the
two railroads will be forced to comply
with the law.
