NEW JOKER"
 IN THE CODE Licenseof Whiskey Deal CTS Was Increased. DEALERS WILL FIGHT IT They Claim the State Violated the
 Contract. Nobody Knew the Provision Was in the Code, Untu It was Enacted in- to Law Several Similar
 instances.
 

Retail liquor and retail beer dealers in Montgomery were somewhat sur prised to receive a letter from Probate Judge J. B. Gaston. of Montgomery county. advising that their licenses had been increased materially by the new Alabama Code which went into effect May 1. It looks very much now as if the dealers will refuse to obey the law, or at least they may test its con- stitutionality.
 It is another case of where the new Code has done some legislation lon its own hook" It seems that every day the Code is searched some sensa- tional change in the established statu- tory law of the State has been effect ed
 If the retail liquor dealers should regard the section in the new Code about his license as valid, he would cough up'' before June 1 a check for s1s7.50. The man with the retail beer license would have to come across with s46.9o. These are the amounts of the increase over what the State license was on January 1, 1908.
 By the letter of the Probate Judge of Montgomery county. the dealers are advised that they have until June in which to pay the increase. There after the license becomes delinquent, and when a delinquent license is paid in Alabama the officers add ten per cent. to the principal sum and some fees. z
 There was talk yesterday among the local dealers that the Code would be resisted by their counsel. Without the investigation of lawyers the argu- ment is that the State has not the

NEGRO ARRESTED HAS
 BEEN WAIVED FOR E YEARS

@'om Thompson, negro. was caught by Deputy Sheriff Clements yesterday morning some distance out of the city, on a warrant charging him with as' sault and battery on the person of an other negro. Wyatt Reese. There was no trouble in making the arrest
 After lodging his prisoner safely in the county jail, MT. Pettus and Mr. Clements found out that Tom had been wanted by the Montgomery County ap. thorities ion the past twenty-five years, and that in some manner he had sue- cessfnlly eluded capture until the as- sault and battery case. From the in- dictment of the grand jury of 1esa it was, shown that Tom Thompson was Indicted for grand larceny.

THE SUMMER CAMPS
GENERAL GRAVES HOPES ALL
 TROOPS MAY GO.
It Will Re Known Definitely This Week If All the Alabama Troops Can
 Make the Chickamauga


 The exact program for the encamp- naent practices of the Alabama National Guard will be known this week if the present plans of Adjutant-General Bibb Graves do not meet with check. Gen. eral Graves expects to leave tomorrow for Washington. D. C.. to consult the War Department for certain facts nec- essary to the encampment problem.
 The question hangs about the num- Der of regiments of infantry which will 20 to Chickamauge this sunmef. Maybe one regiment will go, maybe two and mayUe all three. Looking sole ly at the finances available, 1t will be hardly possible for the entire brigade to 20 to Chickamauga.
 It is believed to be the wishes of General Graves and most of the line of- ficers of the Alabama National Guard that every unit so to Chickamauga Park this year. There are many bene- flcial things to be learned by tho sol diers in the joint maneuvers with the United States regulars This has been demonstrated by joint practices in the past.
 However it is a question of running inside the fund The Guard gets something over $40.o 900 from Uncle Sam and SEQ 900 from the State. IL appears that the War Department has made its disbursern ents with the idea ot sus- taining the trip of only one regiment to Chattanooga from each State. It is possible. by some combination. how ever. that more than one regiment may be sent there from Alabama. The result of General Graves's fnvestiga- ton will determine this and probably announcement will be made before the end of the week.
 The Guard in Alabama is in excel lent shape as for men and equipment. Within the past twelve months the sol diers have been provided with guns and other paraphernsIia costing about si0o, 900 At least. the equipment has been consigned to the. Adjutant Gen erals department for this amount ana i8iatrfbution Is to be made before en- Sampment begins.
 The probable date of the encampuent as Chickamauga is beginning July 3S.

C0NSUMPTIvE BOY GIVEN
 PAROLE BY THE GOVERNOR
James Jahnssn Given Over to Custody

of His Father.
 Another act of Governor Comer's clemency was recorded yesterday in the issuance of parole to James 5. John son, youth, who was convicted by the Chambers County Circuit Court at the spring term of 1908, and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary for manslaughter.
 Young Johnson is paroled into the custody of his father, c. c. Johnson. Although the words of tho Governor endoreed across the order of parole does not express 1t. the physical con- dition of the boy is known to have led. in nart, to the reconmen dalton of the Board of Pardona. He is represented by the physician in charge at the "walls'' at. Wetumpka, as almost dy- ing from tuberculosis.
 The Governor's finding in the case is that Johnson acted without premedita- ton and under great provoeation. The records accessible in the Capitol do not bers County who was the victim of James Johnson.
 The explanation of the Governor in issuing the parole follows:
 "The Pardon Board having recoTn- nnended a parole, and 1t appearing that the crime was committed without pre- meditation and under strong prqvoca- ton. hereby parole James S. Johnson into the custody of his father. condt- tioned upon his future good conduct"
 The boy has probably been removed from the Walls already to the home In Chambers County. as.s

THE DRUG FIEND.
Hasheesh Makes Its Slave Utterly
 Useless For Any Service.

One of the drugs that are most Strlk- ing in their effects is hasheeSh, or Cannabs indica, largely taken in Asiat- ic countries. where I used myself to meet its votaries. Its chief peculiarity is 10 make one believe with all his might whatever is suggested to him.
 If he is an Arab tell him that he is sultan, and straightaway he orders heads to be cut off Tell him he is rooster, and he will crow. l knew of | tw> Americans who eXperimented on themselves and when the first was told that he was like a locomotive he snorted and whistled and kept going round the table pufting and blowing until he dropped from sheer fatigue. The other somehow conceived the idea that he was dead and forthwith gave elaborate directions for his own funeral till he waxed wroth at the unseemly mirth of his companions when they should have wept.
 Hasheesh makes it's slave utterly useless for any service, and so with lIlC otltl NIhSS l HCil N tlhiS ohS and all end in becoming do-nothings Self made do-nothings. or those who are so by drug taking are much worse than useless.
 AS they usually do not begin till as adults they reach the working period of life, they become wretched burdens on the real workers. since our social system lacks any constitutional enact ment whereby. as occurs in commit nity of bees, the workers systematical- ly put their droneS to death.
 The opium fend from long living in an unreal world becomes transformed into the most all round liar in the land, the very embodiment of un- veracity. One of them victimized me with loan that he might go and close the eyes of his dying mother when her eyes needed no such closing for years afterward.
 Another sent from a western city to his wife telegram which purported to come from an undertaken demand ing money to pay for shipping his body home. This money, when it came, he, and unfortunately no undertaken, pocketed and then went his way.

A DREADFUL WEAPON.
The Slashing Sharks Teeth Club Of
 the PolYnesians. -

Clubs were the weapons of primitive and savage man. Ancient specimens from Mexico are heavy sticks grooved along the side for the insertion of blades of boSldlan-that Is, volcanic glass. The Sioux club Is flat piece of wood, curving and widening away from the grip and terminating In a spherical head, which In modern times carries long spike, while the blades of several butcher knives are common ly inserted along the margin. The na- tional museum of the United States possesses great variety of these shocking weapons, designed as the frontiersmen say, to knock down the white man and then to brain him and cut him into mince meat" The Kings mill islanders and other Polynesians make dreadful slashing waapons by se- curing rows of sharks teeth along a haft of wood.
 These weapons >ary from a few inches to sixteen feet in length, and 1t has been said that in all the range of weapons devised by mankind there is nothing more bloed curdllng to behold. They show how the sword may hay @ been evolved from the club even by tribes unacquainted with the use of metals. African weapons, again, are exceedingly complicated owing to the acquaintance of the natives with iron. The standard club Is converted into a sort of tomahawk by the addition of blades or into a primitive spear by the addition of sharp spud. The plain clubs in the African area are used chiefly for throwing.
 The small knobbed clubs, or "ker ries," such as are found among the Kaffirs and other African tribes, are generally used as missiles. Whereas the club proper was soon brought to perfection among savage tribes and was long ago abandoned as q weapon of civilized warfare. the mlssile-typi- fled by the thrown clubs or "kerries'- is still being improved upon in boom erangs, bows and arrows, crossbOws and firearms.
