SURVIVOR TELLS
 OF RAILROAD WRECK

Anniston, February 23.-(Special)-M. J. department store; Mrs w. L. McCaa and little son of this city were passengers on the ilI-fated Southern passenger train which was wrecked Monday morning at Harbin, s. C., their absolute safety be- ing attributed to the fact that they were on the last sleeper. MT. Black tells a graphic story of the wreck and of the superhuman endurance of Engineer Will liam J. O'Neal, the Selma man who was killed in the wreck.
 '-The engine was broken into three parts," he said. separating the boiler from the cab and the tender from the other parts, the boiler being thrown against the bank on the right and smashed into a thousand splinters, the tender going to the left and across the tracks of the main line. All of the cars except the rear sleeper were thrown into the mud, that sleeper also being the only car that contained any light.
 Engineer ONeal was found standing against the wall of the cut into which a part of the engine was thrown. He was completely cooked by the steam es- pacnig fro mthe boiler, and when his clothing was removed great chunks of flesh fell from his body. Yet the man stood there perfectly conscious, talking of the wreck and did not utter a word of complaint until he died about six hours later In attending to his wounds, Miss Edna Dorman, pretty little actress who had served as nurse. distinguished her self as a heroine, never leaving the in jured man until he was claimed by death. She had medicines with her and her min istrations were most beneficial in relieving his pain.
 Engineer O'Nea1 was a total abstainer. and until the very last he declined to take whisky which was offered him by passengers on the train. His suffering was the most horrible have ever wit messed"

 to the opinion that the indictments are legal and that they will stand the test of the courts, while others seem to be of the opinion that the indictments are void. In the event a motion to quash is made by the defense tomorrow 1t will no doubt result in a legal argument of more than usual interest
 In all this grand returned 30 true bills and 1t now seems that other indictments besides the ones against Clements may be attacked on the same proposition, that the grand jury was not legally organized on account of the two grand jurymen being discharged. In the list of indict- ments there are several for alleged vio- lation of the liquor laws and while the active prohibitionists are saying nothing they seem to be somewhat discouraged, for all along they have been hopeful that the liquor indictments would hold.

It is an old saying that if the stom- ach Is sound the whole body Is safe. because so much depends upon the persons find themselves with dis order of the stomach which produces dyspepsia or a peculiar state Of bilious ness.
 If you suffer from both stomach trou- ble and constipation you are on the way to very serious disease. From just such conditions come appendicitis, rheuma tism, skin diseases and similar disorders. because the waste matter the system through the bowels has found it's way into the blood and vitiated 1t. What Is needed at this point is not simply a violent cathartic tablet or salt, which usually does more harm than good. but a gentle laxative tonic like pr.

Talladega, February 23.-(Speeial )-Iron- aton is a pretty furnace village. nestling at the foot of the mountains nine miles from Talladega. Almost every one Of its 1900 inhabitants Is wage-earner, and tolls with his hands. Every pay day cash is abundant, so that where the carcass is there are the eagles also. At intervals moonshine whisky flowed there, but in hidden. devious channels, whose cav ernous windings the officers could only conjecture Bill Strickland the giant marshal of Ironaton, and Deputy Sherlff J. W. otwell of Talladega, both of whom knew moonshine whisky by sight, have been on the watch for some time, but 1t was only last night that they treed anything During the darkness Of Monday night they nabbed Henry Poor and VIII Skinner on the charge of violating the prohibition law, and arrested Mrs. 1ehe Hosey of Randolph county, white "ofn- an, 47 years of age, who apepared in Iron aton only a few days before, charging her with selling whisky in two cases. Mrs Hosey is a shapely blonde, wearing the mountain poke" bonnet, and she does rot deny her guilt, but says she brought the whisky along from Randolph county for the benefit of sick child of hers She had three gallons of whisky in jugs.
 Here is another prohibition story from Talladega. Frank King, colored, was ar rested and jailed three months since charged with violation of the prohioi- ton law Frank, when nabbed, was searched and on his person was found nine pints of booze, which the sheriff took charge of, and has safely kept. 1t lacks but a few days until Franks term will expire Recently Frank petitioned the sheriff to let him have those nine pints to taper off on."
 It is stated on authority that the gov ernment will locate the new federal build- Ing on the northwest corner of North and Court streets, the present site of the EX- change hotel. The hotel building will be torn down or removed, and the lot grad ed to conform to the established city standard. MT. Bingham, the owner has offered the lot to the government at $20, ,000, and negotiations have been pend ing for some time past, so that it cannot be definitely stated exactly what price has been paid for the location, but it is not far from the figure mentioned, ac- cording to current rumor. This location is central, and will come nearer being universally approved than any other choice.
 The smooth artist with the western town lot for sale has angled here, and found the hole baited for suckers. Pleasant Valley" Oklahoma, was represented as climbing, growing spot destined to be city with a number of enterprises that go to make a city already under way.
