0PELKA HAS FIRE.
THE MooREFIELD HOrErS IS CON-
 PLETELY DESTROYED.
Guests Had scArceIy Tine to Escape from the Bui1dfng ana Lost All of Their Personal
 Effects

opeIika Feb. 2o.-fspecial )--This morning at 3 o'clock, when the Moore field Hotoi burned. opslika witnessed the worst Ire 1t has had in many years.
 As the morning was cold. cloudy and stormy, there were not many upon the streets. and the fire had gained great headway on the building before 1t was discovered and the alarm given. The occupants and guests of the hotel had scarcely time to escape from the build ing, and they did not succeed in saving any of their personal effects
 Mrs.s Moorefeld, who conducted the hotsl. did not have any insurance upon her household goods and her loss amounts to fully s2.o00. The first fioor of the building was occupied by M. D. Morgan. and fhe opelika Water Works. Mr. Morgan was engaged in the plumb ing business and had considerable supply of plumbing goods on hand. His loss amounts to $s.500, and did not have any insurance. The building was own ed by H.. J R. Williams, and was valued at ss.0o0. but be only had in- surance to the amount of t2,o0o. There we're other small losses. which wore not covered by insurance.
 The fire department responded to the alarm quickly, and their work was very efectfve, as they soon had the ire un- der control The wisdom of establish- : ing and maintaining the department has been fully justified by this fire. and the fsremen are being highly compii- mented today, for by their quick and wise work they, saved thousands of dollars for 0peilka by keeping the fire from spreading and confined to the one building.

EIGHT HOUR LAW.
House Connmittee Is to Report Ad

House Committee is to Report Ad-
 versely On Bfli.
 Washington, Feb. 20.-The House Committee on Labor is nearing a re- port on the Gardner bill to enforce the observance of an eight hour day in ell work touching directly or indirectly Government projects.
 The best available information at this time is that n majority of the commit lee will report adversely on the bill. It provides penalty of S5 a day for every workman employed longer than eight hours daily in the getting out of any Government work, whether under the direction of the chief contractors or sub-contractors. Reports of large contracting firms that do great deal of Government work have appeared be- fore the committee and stated that if this bill Is enacted, they will hereafter refuse 10 bid on Government contracts. They said that inasnluch as the bill attaches the s5 penalty to the chief contractor. 1t imposes a risk which no good business man can afford to take; that chief contractors seldom have any Supervision over employees of sub-con- tractors. who consequently are scat tered far and wide In various States or in foreign countries and that therefore in order to bid under the terms of the proposed law a chief contractor would assume unknown prohibitive risks.
 Members of the committee drew from these reports the unqualified statement that labor unions agitate the appllca- ton of the eight hour law merely for the purpose of making enough work to go round and that without exception individual union worixmen clamor for a nine or ten or twelve hour day when overtime carries extra pay

 Judge Thomas. from the bench, asked the negro what he intended doing. The negro. replied that he intended getting work in the city. The judge then advised him to leave these parts far behind him, adding that his repu- tation was anything but good. The negro was told that the Judge could not make him do anything. but was simply giving him very good advice, since the authorities will watch his actions while he remained in the community.
 The second case was that of Fannie Johnson. negress. charged with for Bery The charge grew out of state- nlents that Fannie had forged the name of Mary Jane George. another negress, to school teachers certificate. as well as forging the names Of, two of the trustees. and had upon this certificate obtained SEQ from the County Superin- tendent of Education for work which she had never done
 Attorneys for the negress demurred to the form of the indictment, and Judge Thomas sustained the demurrer, remapding the negress to the county tan to await another indictment to be returned by the next Grand Jury. Her bond was fixed at sS5O, which she made.
 The third case was that of New Drew. g negro preacher, who. on the stand swore that he was lies jack-leg niK- ger Mephodis' preacher" charged with shooting another negro preacher at Chisholms some time ago.
 The way the negro described his oc- cupation, addod to the fact that noth- ing but cirsamstantial evidence was brought against him. resulted in the jury. after about eight minutes de- liberation. returning verdict of not guilty
 All of the cases, eighty-six In mum Der, found by the last Grand Jury and executed by the sheTiffs department, have been set for trial by the Clerk of the court.
