COURT CONFINES
 IN BIBB COUNTY Grand Jury Will Investigate tn e
 BI0cton Tragedy STRONG CHARGE BY JUDGE Bench Declares That Every County Is Expecting the Jury To Do Its Full Duty-keynote of Law and
 Order Sounded.
STRONG CHARGE BY JUDGE

Centreville August 25.-(Special )-Cir- cult court convened here at noon yester day with Judge Miller on the bench. A large crowd of representative citizens of the county assembled at the courthouse to listen to the charge delivered by Judge Miller to the grand jury. The charge was of considerable length, but the crowd lis tened to every word with close attention.
 Judge Miller laid much stress to that part of the bill of rights in the constitu- tion of Alabama which guarantees to every citizen life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. He admonished the grand jury to make full investigation of the assassination of Conductor Collins and two other men and the wounding of Il others at Blocton on the night of August 8. and to indict the guilty parties with out fear or favor.
 He deplored the blot on the fair name of Bibb county caused by the terrible crime, and called upon the manhood of the citizens of the county to erase that blot by bringing the guilty parties to jus tce. He called the attention of the grand jury to the fact that the law-abiding citf- zens of the other counties in Alabama eX- pected the grand jurors of Bibb county to do their duty.
 He commended Sheriff Oakley and his fearless deputies for the firm stand they have taken to suppress crime and bring the guilty to justice.
 The charge was pronounced by those who heard it as the keynote to law and order in Bibb county. There was no word in the charge that would indicate In the least that Judge Miller would for mo- ment temporize with this grave situa- tion.
 The grand jurors are among the pest men in Bibb county. J. A. Fair was se- lected as foreman.
 The civil docket is being rapidly cleared, a number of cases having already been settled. Several visiting lawyers are attending court. H. A. Jones, Daniel Col Her of Tuscaloosa, Joel Webb of Blr- minRham and c. P. Mcintyre of Mont Romery are among the number.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Georgia and Alabama Manufacturers
 Grow In Popularity.

Columbus, Ga., August 25.-(Special)- The Georgia and Alabama Industrial In dex will say tomorrow in it's regular weekly issue:
 "The growing popularity of Georgia and Alabama manufactured products in the markets of the world was well illustrated by several incidents during the past week. A big order was received for Alabama steel rail, to be used in railroad construc- tion in Mexico, this order following a re- cent one for 157 ,000 tons of such rails for use by the Hartman system of rail- roads in the United States. To a Ma con, Ga., company was awarded the con- tract for furnishing the piping to be used in $30,O00 sewer contract at Mo- bile, Ala. Railroad frogs and switches manufactured by a new plant at Bir- mingham Ala, are being used in the construction of a street railway system down in Mexico. From far-off Naples, Italy, came an order during the week for a shipment of Alabama iron. Orders for water-pipe made in Alabama were re- ceived from distant cities of the union.
 "rhe week witnessed several important cOdl dIlu llHlDcT ldHu tTdnSdcIlOnS. MO- bile, Ala, parties who last February secured an option on 19351 acres of coal lands In Jefferson and Tuscaloosa coun- ties, Alabama, at s39062O, availed them selves of the option and have just made the required payment in cash. The prop erty will be developed on a large scale and the coal carried by barge to the port of Mobile. Another mineral land deal of magnitude was the purchase of 10000 acres of coal lands in the Alabama dis trict by a Shelby county coal mining company, which plans to proceed at once with the development of the property. Huntsville, Ala, company will develop cedar timber property near Huntsville expending from $4O,0O0 to $5O,0O0 in carrv ing out it's plans
 Prominent in the construction news of the week are announcements of new warehouses, most of which are to be es- tabllshed by farmers unions, which are making such substantial investments along that line this summer. Among others warehouses are announced for An. burn, Ga, Bowman. Ga., Broxton. 3a Warrenton, Ga., Andersonville, Ga. and Linden, Ala.

MAYOR BLACKW WELL
 DISCUSSES LAWS
THINKS PROHIBITION LAWS ARE
 GOOD, BUT NEED PERFECTiNG. CAN NEVER BE MADE ENTIRELY IBIToRY-WoRk ON THEM.

Decatur, August 25.-(Special.)-"I want to give you another interview" said Mayor Sam Blackwell to your cor respondent after reading the story in yesterdays papers containing a state ment from him concerning the prohi- bition laws.
 You quoted me correctly" said May or Blackwell, but the inference you draw that prohibition in New Decatur is failure and a farce Is incorrect. I said that the law needs perfecting, and because law is not perfect it does not necessarily follow that 1t is a failure. If I had a house with leak in the roof I would not condemn the entire house and tear it down, but I would repair the leak. There is no such thing as making a law that is absolutely prohibitory. We have a law against murder yet murders are committed.
 q think the prohibition laws are a good thing. but they need perfecting Under the prohibition law in New De- catur crime has decreased and the records in the police court show that arrests and convictions for drunkenness have decreased very materially"
 Mayor Blackwell admitted, however, that the city of New Decatur now has only one police officer duty at d time and that 1t was impossible for him to see every drunken man who might appear on the streets of New Decatur. Under the open saloons there were from two to three and sometimes even more policemen on duty at the same time in New Decatur and it would necessarily follow that two or three men could see more than one man and that they would make more arrests. Under the prohibition laws the city Of New Decatur reduced the salary of tn @ mayor from $1osO to $500 a year and reduced its police force. This was made necessary on account of the loss of the saloon license as Mayor Black well said at the time himself. In his interview as printed in yesterdays pa- pers Mayor Blackwell admits that the prohibition laws are imperfect and that 1t is necessary for the city to pass ordinances perfecting these laws. It has been almost eight months since prohibition went into effect and still these prohibition laws have not been perfected" as Mayor Blackwell says they should be.
 These "perfecting ordiances' are now in the hands of the police com mittee of the city council of New De- catur. They will be taken up by thai body on the night of September 1 and 1t Is likely that some final disposition will be made of the matter.

 A New Industry.
 Anniston may secure another mil lion dollar industry. A gentleman in Tennessee proposes to establish such plant here and has asked that the city donate 20 acres of land for the site. A meeting of the chamber of commerce was held yesterday morning to consider the offer and after discussion it was decided that the gentleman should be invited to visit the city in person and confer with the people. The invitation has been extended and he will probably come within the next few weeks.
 The matter of securing the city's pro rate of the county road and bridge tax, $4500, which the county commissioners have refused to turn over to the city. was also discussed. It was decided that the commissioners should again be asked to pay over this sum, and if they refuse 1t Is possible that the matter will be carried into the courts.

 It is a cheap connection and fraud, lh- tended to deceive the people. Of course when a remedy has been before the pup lie so long, has been prescribed and used by the best doctors and in all the prom inent hospitals and has carried the bless ing of health into so many thousands or homes as Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has, limitations are bound to arise. But they car

 Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an absol- utely pure distillation of matted grain; great care being used to have every ker- mel thoroughly matted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predigested liquid food fin the form of a malt essence, which is the most effective tonic stimu- lant and invigorator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture, it's palatability and freedom from injurious substances render 1t so that 1t can be re- tained by the most sensitive stomach
 Any firm that will sell limitations or substitution goods will sell impure goods. The firm that is dishonest in one thing would not hesitate to be dishonest In an other. Whenever you see imitation and substitution goods offered for sale by firm, beware Of anything and everything put up by that firm. You endanger your own life and the lives of your family by dealing with them.

Heads of Farm Schools.

Much interest gathers about the meet ing of the heads of the state agricultural schools to be held in Montgomery Thurs day and Friday of this week. It will be the second of the kind in the south, the first being that called by Commissioner of Agriculture Wilkinson last January. It is proposed to develop and foster in- terest in better methods of agriculture in the state and to make the most of every acre put in and to get the very highes results from the education along these lines furnished by the state.
 There will be about b men here for the meeting, many of the professors con- ing along with the presidents of the nine schools Especially important will be the meeting as Georgia and other states are developing the farm school work and will be glad to have the help that the reports of the Alabama meetings will give them. MT Wilkinson expresses de- termination to see that every dollar spent for this kind of service is productive of the highest results.
 To Install New Man. Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Will kinson has gone to Evergreen to make arrangements to install H. T. Lille, the new president of the agricultural school at that place. He was accompanied by MT. Lille, who was selected for the place Q few days ago. The school is to be put on a solid basis, in line with the re- quirements of the laws.
 Montgomery Man. E. F. Buchanan, a member of the brokerage firm of A. O. Brown & Co. of New York; who have suspended, was at one time in the employ of the Louisville and Nashville road at Montgomery as a car sealer. He was so small that the work was too heavy for him, and he was sent down on the gulf coast. There he learned to be an operator and went into service on the New York stock exchange, where he became a member of the em- barrassed firm. Some time ago he built for his father and mother in Georgia a $100,000 residence.
 Lumber Market Boosted. The placing of a number of car and lumber orders generally by the Louis vile and Nashville road, amounting to several million feet, has given the mar ket for lumber a boost. Alabama mill men are figuring on the output and will likely capture the bulk of it. Several other industries are now calling for lum- Der, notably the new fertilizer works near the city.
