 ing Prisoners PETTY JEALOUSIES AIRED It Is Charged By Morgan Grand Jury That Sheriff and Other Officials
 Do Not Work In
 Harmony.
PETTY JEALoUSIES AIRED

Decatur, April 25.-(Special.) .)-After being in session for two weeks the Morgan county grand jury adjourned this after noon. There were docketed IA cases and Si true bills were returned. Indictments were returned against several of the county officials for neglect in having the county jail repaired and on account of the escape of a number of prisoners recently.
 The report of the grand jury says: There is no place in the jail safe for the keeping of white prisoners unless they be placed in the cages with negroes"
 The report recommends that a place be built in which to keep white prisoners, and that white prisoners be taken to some other county until this is done. It is the opinion of the grand jury that there is no excuse for the escape of negro pris eners and that the escapes have been due to carelessness. The report goes on to say: "We are satisfied that a majority of the escapes from this jail has been caused by the negligence of the sheriff and his deputies. We are also satisfied that the probate judge has been sorry to find an i'll feeling between the sheriff ana some Otnef county ollncalS, lo-Wit, the proabte judge and the county com- mssioners. The people of the county are suffering on the account of this enmity.'
 A number of negroes were indicted for bootlegging whisky. In the opinion of the grand jury crime has decreased in the pecaturs under prohibition The grand jury reported the county poor farm as not being looked after as it thinks It should be- It is recommended that this farm be sold and one bought nearer De- catur.

New Drug, PosIam, Now obtainable In
 Small Quantities.

Since it's discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing skin afflictions. Here tofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of eczema patients in large jars sufficient for a months treat ment This was found to be an ineon- venience to many thousands who use It for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes itching feet, piles, etc., which require but small quantity to cure. To overcome this, and in re- sponse to urgent appeals. the dispensers of poslam have been obliged to adopt, in addition to the regular $2 package, spe- cial 50-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at Jacobs Pharmacy and other leading drug stores in Birmingham, or may be ordered direct from the Emer- gency Laboratories No. g West Twenty fifth street, New York city. In all sec- zema cases poslam stops itching with first application, and proceeds to heal immedi- ately; chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious skin troubles, re- suits are seen after an overnight applica- ton.
 Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge, by writing to the laboratories for them.

STORY OF CHEER
 AND PROSPERITY
Beans, Peas, Cabbage and
 Peaches Plentiful
THE FIRST GREEN BEANS
A. c. Lewis Delivers First Bushel and Gets $2.75-Corn Acreage Is Be- ing Largely Increased
 About Cuba.

Cuba, April 25.-(Special )-The first shipment of green beans was made to- day when a hamper grown by A. c. Lewis was brought in and sold to c. R. Cooke, a local buyer, who shipped it by express to Henry Ransick & Son, commission merchants of Cincinnati, o.
 This is the earliest date beans have been shipped from here. The seed for this lot was planted just 57 days ago and Mr. Lewis was rewarded for his eff forts by getting the tidy sum of s2.75 for this bushel. Beans will be in full sup ply and moving in car lots by next Sat urday. Cabbage are in head and some shipments will go out next week. Re- cent rains have helped the crops a great deal and beans and cabbage are growing rapidly
 Shipments of green peas still continue and will likely last all of next week. The crop has suffered for want of rain and the growers will not male as much money as last season, only about ten or twelve cars being shipped for this season. The price has been fair, however and the demand good.
 Cotton planting is in full swing and q lot of it is up and ready to chop. Labor is in better supply and shows willing ness to work at wages about the same as last year. Contrary to expectations the farmers are planting more corn than has been known in this section for years The cotton acreage may be thus reduced to less than last season.
 The peach crop still continues in ex- cellent shape and unless something hap pens the shipments from here will run to about 15 to 20 cars.
 The Cuba Crate and Basket factory has put on a night crew in order to take care of the business in hampers, cab bage crates and fruit packages.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
No "eieeine' at East Lake.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 On returning to the city today l find an interview in The Age-Herald of recent date in which the person quoted stated that he regretted that ''gigging'' of fish was allowed at East Lake.
 I wish to correct that statement So far as I know--or anyone else interested in, or employed, at East Lake knows-no fish are being gigged We will not allow such a thing if we know it, and especially during the spawning season. We will prosecute anyone we catch at this prac tce, which we consider cruel and un- sportsmanlike.
 There is too much good fishing at East Lake for anyone to resort to 'gigging." would appreciate it if you would make this correction in The Age-Herald, as l fel it does the management of the lake an injustice. Our sole object is to furnish clean and wholesome amusement for the people of Birmingham and vicinity.
