FINE SPECIMEN IF INDIAN POTTERY Presented to Department of Archives and History SHERIFF HOOD IS ANGRY Someone Fires on Dogs While They Were on Trail-Heflln to
 Speak on Waterways
 Trip.

Montgomery, September 7.-(Special.)- An old Indian pot. presumably more than century and half old, has been pre- sented to the state department of ar chives and history by Mrs. Nora E. Mil- Ter of Dadeville. Dr. Thomas M. Owen, director of the department, has given 1t conspicuous place in his archives, and is much pleased with the old relic, which he declares Is undoubtedly piece of pottery of Indian manufacture.
 The pot weighs 140 pounds and It's bowl has diameter of 20 inches. The entire depth is eight inches. The receptacle is of hewn rock, crude. but adequate for such feasts as the Indians gave in their merry war paint.
 The relic was dug up from the old Horseshoe Bend battlefield in Tallapoosa county, and because of this association of itself is most royalty welcomed by pr. Owen to the department. The battle was fought March 27. 1874, and finally broke the power of the Creek Indian in America. It is presumed that at the time of the war the pot was in the flower of Its life.

The cotton crop in this section will not be more than sixty-five par cent of the last years crop which was itself rather smaller than the usual crops made here,

Sheriff Hood Anary.

Sheriff Horace Hood is more than cas- ually angry. While trailing a negro hus- band who is alleged to have mistreated his spouse the sheriff's dogs were fired upon Monday night, with the result that they became gun shy" and refused to pick up the trail.
 Mindful of the law which prohibits the interference on the part of any one with the sheriff in the execution of the laws, the sheriff has turned his attention to the pistol toter,'' and announces that the same will fare badly if caught.

Republican Pot Roilina.

Not in many moons has the Alabama republican pot simmered so much as at the present time, now mat time has al- most come around for President Taft to make few appointments. The chief fight, 1t develops, centers around the office of the United States district at torney, but in the office of the United States marshal there's no less activity.
 E. J. Parsons, present district attorney. will undoubtedly be opposed by former District Attorney Warren 8. Reese, and by Julius Sternield, both of Montgom- cry.
 Marshal J. H. Judkins will have to hustle to again get the appointment over B. k. Walker of Millstead and T. c. Bingham of Montgomery and Morgan Russell of Macon county.
 With an eye to apportioning the plums, several members of the republican party were in Montgomery last week aud are again to assemble within few days.
