CRIMINAL COURT JUDGE
 CANNOT ISSUE WARRANTS

the case. He pointed out that the duty is laid upon justices of the peace and county court judges and there is no auth ority for judges to act in that ca paclty.
 It may be that the authority to issue the warrants lies with the judges of those inferior courts which have taken the place of justices of the peace. though this has not been taken up as yet and is not a part of the opinion of the court. Justice Simpson said on the outside that he was not certain that in the end the judges of this class would not be found with the auth ority, though he had not taken up that fea- ture of the situation. The result is to make all the more certain the position that only judges of minor courts can issue the raiders warrants.

The Alabama News company closed its doors and went into the hands of re- ceiver yesterday. When thls company began business it agreed to pay the debts of It's predecessor, in fact assumed them, and the amount of the assumed debts has greatly exceeded the expectations of the news company, or it's list of creditors. and for self-protection it was thought ad- visable to place the entire matter In the hands of a receiver.

CHAIN PLANT IN PROSPECT

Gadsden January 14-(Special. Al though the convict gang was kept con- stantly at work all summer. the recent rains are already bringing the complaints of bad roads. It is an easy matter to make roads for summer weather, but the winter rains will soon put anything but a well-piked highway out of commission. Of course there has been some road con structed in the county the past year that will stand the winter usage, but large portion of the highway that has just been worked according to old-time meth ods is soon ruined by water and travel. But the experience is teaching the farm CTS their lesson and 1t Is more probable that a year or two hence the sentiment among the country folks will be in favor of a bond issue and the building of roads according to the most approved modern methods. The residents of the towns have been favorable to such project for some years. but the farmers, the very people who need the roads most, and who should be the leaders in a movement for their improvement, have thus far used their influence to defeat any action looking to this end.
 A prominent manufacturer of Zanes- ville Ohio, engaged in the manufacture of chains, has been spending some days in the city looking into the possibility of establishing such a plant in this dis trict. He expressed himself as very fav- orably impressed with the advantages eX- istng here for such an enterprise and is strongly considering the undertaking. Nothing but a site is asked and this will

free fight. A company Of regulars
from Fort Mcpherson, near by, was
summoned, and when it arrived the
two heutenants calmly ordered the
troops to load with ball cartridge and
to fire at command. Then the rioters
were given the alternative Of going
into the cars to be locked into them
or to die. They went In and were
locked up. And so It would be with
each and every conceivable mob. II,
however, some ecstatic mob, not gov

for the United States and all its PEG

Birthdays and Health.

For several years l have noticed
Ghat in a period Of from about three
to two weeks preceding the anniver-
sary OF my birth have had feeling
of returning vigor, a renewal Of vital
ity such as have not experienced at
any other time Of the year. This
has lasted for from two to eight days,
but has always ceased some days be

occurred to me that there may be
some connection between the ap-
proach of the recurrence Of ones
birthdate and the maintenance OF

Sing prison for the death of William
Marsh Rice. and who has spent a

aire died natural death and that
he was not chloroformed by his valet,
Charles F. Jones. as Jones testified.
He bases his hopes for the future on
inducing Gov. Hughes of New York
to appoint q commission of physi-
clans and investigate the case and
make report on its scietific aspects.
The commission. he says, will show
that testimony Of the experts at the
trial was unscientific and false. He
says Patrick was convicted BY per
jury and trickery. and that the de-
cision Of the appellate division of
the New York supreme court by no
means ends the tight.

Callahan was in Jackson Saturday
in attendance upon court, warrant
having been served upon him for ma
licious shooting in a family affair
sine time ago. His case was con
tinued and he Immediately left jack
son, telling one or two friends that
lately he was fearful of his lie.
Reports received from Crocketts-
vile are to the effect that the strick-
en- feud leader cannot survive. Late
developments regarding the shooting
are that at least two assassins and
probably more we're engaged In the
conspiracy to wipe out the Callahan,
family. At the same time the elder
Callahan was being fired upon anoth-
er party or a number of them at

had gone to a, barn about daylight.
He was returning to the residence
when a bullet fred by the unseen
enemy plowed its way through his
hair and carried his hat twenty feet
away. Stepping behind a fence he
made a successful run for the house.
while palings behind and in front of
him were splintering by bullets. The
assassins were shooting from ambush
in the woods 200 yards away. He
was unable to go to his father, and
the wife of the former sheriff went
to her wounded husbands assistance.
