LUMBER TRADE
 IS IMPROVING
Monthly Meeting Alabama and West Florida Manufacturers
CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED
Building Committee of University Trustees Holds Meeting-Wiring and Waterworks for Biological
 and Geological Buildings.

Montgomery, September S.-(Speclal) At their monthly meeting in the BX change hotel today the Alabama and West Florida lumber manufacturers found that prices are picking up every day and that the outlook is very bright for fall and winter trade. However, it was found that there is a conser- vatism that will prevent any general incerase in the output, the mill men feeling that there is not yet sufficient cause to rush the cut to any great proportions. H. H. Shell of BirminS ham, vice president presided In the absence of President Hughes, with Sec retary J. H. Eddy, also of Birmingham, , in the chair.
 A. L. Brown, special agent of the national forestry department, made 2 talk on turpentine, being in Alabama for the purpose of finding out if there are many trees yet fit for boxing, and O. o. Bright, special man with the Yellow Pine Manufacturers assoca- tion, talk ed of the general conditions over the territory. Secretary Eddy re- ported that there is renewed interest in the work and aims of the association and that mill men are making much use of 1t. As whole the reports were encouraging along every line and the members take 1t to mean that things are going to continue to brigh ten.

OFFICER IS SUSPENDED

Anniston, September S.-(Special )-The city court grand jury, composed of 1S members, was organized at D. m. yes- terday, with Oliver w. Cooper as fore man. J. c. Hamilton was sworn as bailiff.
 The special features of the courts charge were his remarks upon the en- forcement of both the game and prohi- bition laws. The game law, he said, was new in many respects, and present day conditions made it's enforcement impera- tive, and the jury was urged to do it's duty in punishing any and all violators. The charge of the court with reference to prohibition was emphatic. He said 1t was violation for one man to give another whisky except in his own house. It was also a violation of the law to give another money with which to buy whisky. If a man wished to buy liquor in Chattanooga or other places, he could
 do so for himself, but 1t was viola
 ton to give money to another to buy 1t for him. The court said he had always
 believed that to prohibit the sale of : whisky in the county was the shortest
 route to the suppression of crime and he urged the grand jury to use diligence
 in this regard The blind tiger is in- tolerable.
 Officer T. P. Hawkins of the police force was suspended from the service of the city this morning by Mayor Pro Fem. Cooper pending an investigation by the city council at it's next session. The
 complaint is that the officer neglected his duties.
 The teachers institute of the Fourth congressional district, which convened in
 this city for a session of Il days, got down to real business today, the features
 of the session being an exposition of the Alabama school laws by County Super intendent H. T. Persons and a plea for better pay by Charles D. Kline. O. A. Wright & Co.,, of Alabama City,
 have asked the federal court to settle their business entanglements, an attor-
 ney having filed voluntary petition In bankruptcy with the deputy clerk here yesterday. The petitioners stated their debts at s742. .65, and have exempted assets aggregating $7S5, including goods, fix lures, horse and wagon and debts
 due on open accounts.

lis HELD FOR THE
FEDERAL GRAND JURY
coiored Bootblack Will Be Taken to
clarksburg Jail to Await
Trial.

On a warrant sworn out by e. G..
Henshaw, deputy collector OF internal
revenue, this city, Nose Garner, a
well known colored man OF town, was
arrested yesterday afternoon for sell
ing whisky illicitly. The arrest was
made BY u. s. Deputy Marshal
Brown, who lodged Garner In Jail
Garner had previously been arrest
ed by policeman for selling intoxi-
cants ON Sunday and at a hearing be-
fore Justice Thompson last Monday
afternoon he was released from Gus
tody on the ground that Prosecuting
Attorney Noll failed to appear at the
trial
This morning Garner had a hear
ing in the Office of u. s. Commissioner
Wilbur H. Thomas. Attorney d. w.
Snyder appeared for the defendant.
Four Witnesses were summoned and
two examined.
Daniel Miller, this city, testified that
on Sunday, June % he bought half
pint OF whisky from Garner at his
sfoe-shining place next to Gerlings
pool room
Miller's testimony was corroborated
by Officer Blake who saw Miller go
into Gamers place and shortly after
wards come out on the street where
he handed the whisky to the officer.
Commissioners Thomas found Garner
as probably guilty and held him under
bail in the sum of $500. in deault Of
which he was remanded to Jail whence

tyr jail at Clarksburg to await the ac-
ton of the federal grand jury.

DENHAM is SURE OF
REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
ciarksburo's Postmaster Talks State
Politics While in Washington
This Week.

Washington, July 18.-"Interest in
politics in West Virginia has not
lapsed with the meeting Of the con-
yention and nomination OF candidates,
but has been intensified to a great
degree" said s. G. Denham, Of Clarks-
burg, to Washington Post reporter
at the Raleigh 1--WE have two repub-
llcan candidates In the field, but there
is general belief that before long
Mr.. Scherr will withdraw and leave
Mr. Swisher to run alone. The lat
ter was the regular nominee and is
entitled to the nomination.
But even If both Scherr and Swish
er run, the republicans will win. be-
cause the democrats are even more
disrupted than the republicans There
is bitter feeling among the factions Of
that party led by former Secretary OF
State w. Il. Chiffon and John T. Nc
Graw, rational committeeman. Chill
ton has candidate for governor in
Adam Littiepage, who represents the
United Mine Workers association in
West Virginia, but leaders of the par
ty have told me that the nominee will
be Lewis Bennett, and this will mean
the turning down by the labor people
of the democrats, which, of course,
win help the republicans. Although
McGraw. Is not taking any openly ac-
tive part in the contest for the nomi-
nation, it is generally believed he
favors Bennett. who already has
enough votes pledged to him to win.
The only other candidate talked OF
is Tom Hodges, but he will withdraw
before the convention meets, and
probably will be nominated for super
intendent OF schools. The feeling be-
tween McGraw and Chiffon was evil
dent at the recent Denver convention,
when Chiffon tried to defeat McGraw
for national committeeman.
While the republicans will carry
West Virginia beyond doubt, the size
of the plurality is hard to estimate
Personally I think Taft will get a
larger plurality than Roosevelt did in
1904. The business interests OF the
state will line up for Taft solidly,
believe, because nearly all the indus
trial concerns are stock companies,
and they do not want to take any
chances of their bonds going down,
which surely would follow a change
for instance, as when Cleveland was
elected"

WEST VIRGINIAN
Is Made President of the Pennwood
Coal Company at lockwood,

Baltimore, July 20.--As the result
of recent large acquisitions of prop
erty and the making of many
important contracts the Pennwood
Coal Co.. of lockwood, Pa, has in
ceased its capital stock to $1,000,000.
The company is controlled by New
York. Baltimore and West Virginia
capital. Mr.. Hugh l.. Kirby, of Har-
pers Ferry, is the president and when
seen at the Hotel Belvedere. said that
in addition to its original holdings of
1,276 acres in Somerset county, Pa,
the company has just acquired 5000
acres of adjoining coal property, Civ
ing it a total acreage OF Sits.
The land is well located for market
ing the coal having frontage for a
number of miles on the ConneIlsville
division of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and also on it's Somerset and
Cambria and Berlin branches. The
different properties are developed and
ready for operation.
Mr.. Kirby and associates closed an
important contract with the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad whereby the Penn
wood company will supply locomotive
fuel to all engines on the Connellsville
division. 1t is estimated that this
alone will call for an average of about
300 tons day. Mines are now open
at lockwood and Garrett and there
are coaling stations at both places.
A new coaling station of most mod.
ern design will be constructed at
lockwood and work will be started as
soon as the contract is awarded. From
the pit mouth the coal is to be depos-
tied in large bin having a capacity
of 500 tons. From this bin the coal
will be fed to a 13-ton electric larry
or car which will travel On steel
bridge extending across the five
tracks of the B. and o.. and fed to
locomotives stopped under the bridge
and on any of the five tracks. 1t is
said that it will only require three
minutes to coal locomotive.

FIRE ESCAPES COMPLETED
Board of Education Provides Means
for Safeguarding Pupils at
School Houses.

Messrs. 7. e. Matthews & Bro,
this city, have completed the erection
OF two fire escapes each at -four Of
the FIVE city school buildings. They
cost $3.50 each or st40o for the eight.
But this is only part of the work
that has been done at the various
school buildings to safeguard the
children in case of fire. ALI the doors
have been made to swing out, as
they should have been in the first
place, eleven fire extin guishers have
been placed in the buildings and the
cellars have hcen made practically fire
proof by a liberal use OF asbestos
coating. while the small children will
hereafter be assigned to rooms on the
first floor and the larger ones on the
second, a very sensible idea as all
will admit. Furthermore, telephones
have been installed in all the school
buildings, though why that was never
done before people are at loss to
know
The fire gang and fire drill will be
again instituted this fall the same
as last term. so that it will be readily
seen that every means has been taken
or will be taken for the safety OF
the children should a fire break out.
The board of education is to be
highly commended for adopting these
modern. up-to-date and sensible fea-
tres for the school houses, and when
the schools open again in September
new order of things will be noticed
and heartily appreciated by pupils,
patrons and teachers.

DEAD BABY FOUND AT
WEST STONE QUARRY
Baby, Probably colored, Likely Dead
Three Weeks--Nothing Known
Of Birth or Death

The partly decomposed body Of a
baby, presumably colored, was discov.
cred Monday afternoon about o.
clock at the west quarry of Baker
Bros, half a mile from town.
Five young colored men on their
way to the Tuscarora creek to take a
swim, noticed the end of a box pro-
truding from near the bottom or a
dirt dump at the quarry and went
there to examine it. To their horror
they found the box contained the dead
body Of baby covered with some
newspapers. As the lid was OF
the box and lying some distance
away it Is supposed the same dis
covery had been made by some one
before, but was evidently frightened
away and the find never reported to
the authorities.
The colored men, whose names
we're Fielding Page, Colston Busey,
James Scott, Charles Busey and Allie
Clifford, later notified Officer Riddle
of their discovery and he, in turn,
reported the matter to Coroner w. r.
Kline. About 7 o'clock In the evening
the coroner, Constable Lemen and I'm
dertaker Wilen went out to the quarry
and brought the body and COX to town.
Coroner Kline summoned DR.. w. T.
Henshaw to Mr. Wilen's undertaking
establishment to examine the body,
which he did. Coroner Kline, after
questioning the five coIored men, de-
cided that an inquest was not neces-
sary as the baby's death was, in an
probability, due to natural causes, but
who the mother was is not known
Dr. Henshaw reported by letter this
morning to the coroner that owing to
the decomposed and purified state of
the body it was impossible to tell
whether the baby had been still born
or died shortly after birth. and that it
likely was a colored baby.
Undertaken Wilen buried the re-
mains this afternoon in the colored
cemetery.
