To,w,1ns

CHARLESTON, Feb. 1.-THE Craig
local option steam roller was again In
fine working order in the senate yes
terday afternoon. defeating an effort
to send the bill back to Its second
reading for. further amendments, and
passing It by vote Of II to II. The
vote stood:
Ayes-Ashburn, Bailey, Baker. Cos.
sin, Craig. Gartlan, Hatfield. johnson.
Littlepage. Mcintyre. Meredith, Mil
Ter, Santee. Silver, Smith (of Raleigh,
White, Zillikin-17.
Noes-Blue, Carroll, Coffman. Eng,
land. Grimes, Hazlett, Kidd Shinn.
Smith (of CabelD, Sutherland, For.
nan-11.
The friends Of the bill got but one
setback. They were willing to amend
the bill to suit the objections OF SEN
ator Blue, who called attention to the
fact that while a dry vote in the en-.
tire county would not affect munich
pality that voted wet, or had an ex-
elusive license granting charter. If the
country districts voted dry the vote
on the entire county would be wet be-
cause OF the size Of the wet majorities
In the city. Then licenses could be
granted in the, country districts de-
spite tie fact they voted:dry. Senator
Craig was willing to concede the
point and offered an amendment to
that effect. but some OF the opposition.
smartIng under the hurts Of the steam
roller. refused the unanimous consent
that was necessary to carry an amend
ment to bill on third reading. Craig
says he will 60 before the house COM
mittee and ask that the amendment be
inserted. .;i. .s=s4.st: -
England in Opposition.
When the bill came un yesterday af-
ternoon on It's third reading, England
asked that It be shot back to its sec.
ond reading becauset ett}required nmend-
ments, inasmuch as in Its present
form It was not 80 good as the pres
ent liquor laws. Meredith protested.
contendlng that the. sense OF the SEN
ate In favor Of the bill as 1t was drawn
had already been clearly manifested.
Kidd called the bill a mere subter.
fuge and scored the Republicans.
claiming that they we're ignoring their
platform pledges and letting the whis-
key people write their local option
bills. He called attention to the fact
that cities which have exclusive power
to grant liquor licenses were not per.
mitted by this power to hold local op-
ton elections, as 1t applied only to the
communities for. which county courts
grant licenses.
FIlibusterins Is Baked.
The motion to reconsider the action
by which the bill was ordered to third
reading was then beaten, II ayes and
II noes. Several hlibusterlng motions
were defeated and then various
amendments we're proposed, all Of
which failed to secure unanimous con-
sent except one by Gartlan, which met
Kldd's and Hazlett's objection. by pro
testing that local option elections shall
also be held in incorporated cities
and cures one defect.
After the bill was passed by the
vote given above Kidd moved to
amend the title, by making It read "a
Bill to Extend the Liquor Traffic" He
mustered but four votes In his behalf.

JACK WHITMORE IS BADLY WOUNDED
SON OF MURDERED MAN SHOWS FlGHT-W. H. STARTLING LOSES AN EYE-GADSDEN VETERANS PLEASED WITH REUNION.

Gadsden June 2-(Special.)-W the officers arrived in the city with Jack Whitmore, the Turkeytown farmer who yesterday shot and killed Bob Berry, his negro tenant, it was found that he was badly wounded by being stabbed in the back with knife or other sharp instru- Ament. Altogether there are 12 wounds. and the prisoner is suffering severely, al- though he is not necessarily fatally in 1ured. According to his own story he killed the negro and afterward engaged in a further fight with the negro's son, and it was during this struggle that his injuries were received. From the wounds themselves 1t would appear that he was on top of the negro and that the cutting was done while in this position. Whit more refuses to discuss the tragedy or the incidents that led up to the killing.
 w. H. Stripling a blacksmith of this city, while engaged at work yesterday, received an injury that will cost him an eye. He was engaged in saving a piece of wood when small splinter flew off and struck him in the eye. He was taken to a hospital and given every attention but this morning it was announced that the eye could not be saved
 The Etowah delegation to the Memphis reunion has returned and the old veterans all declare that they were given royal en- tertainment. About 9 attended from this county.

GREAT TENNIs MEET.
Spectacular Work of Charley Harold
 the Bright Feature.

Montgomery, June 12.-Special. .)-John M. Inglis. who handles the sports at the Country club, is glowing with tributes for each and every member of the club and resident of the state who has par ticipated in the state tennis tournament which has been in progess at the club this week. In the opinion of MT. Inglis the event is one of the biggest state meets ever held in the south.
 ''The players have given us some of the most ideal pleasure we have had in many months" MT. Inglis stated this morning. land those who have attended have nothing but praise for the partici- pants.
 ''Sx of the players have played star tennis during the whole of the time. Charley Harold, Bliss Edgar, Warren Ty- son, Davis Stakely, Joe Holt and Gessner McCorvey have been in the forefront dur ing the whole of the time. Each one has given stellar exhibitions of excelencef
 'IIarold, in particular, has been play ing under some of the greatest handcaps. His defeat of Gessner McCorvey was one of the prettiest exhibitions we have yet seen. Yesterday in the double match against the McCorvey brothers, Harold necessarily bore off many of the honors, in view of the fact that Edgar labored with sprained ankle. Again he was in the calcium the whole of yesterday aft ernoon, when the burden of the play de- volved upon him in the match against Tyson and Stakely, two of the fastest players in the state. Edgar has been game throughout, and has played some of the best tennis of his career"
 An effort will be made, according to MT Ingis. to have annual tennis tourna- ments. The next tournament will be featured by the presence of ladies in single and double entries.

 The storage capacity of the elevator is 2o,O00 bushels of corn. while the bins in the mill have a capacity of 5000 bushels. The corn will be fed from the elevator to the mill by a gravity flow. In the mill it will be handled through the va rlous runs upward in cups or belts and downward by gravity, the runs being lined with different thicknesses of steel, according to the size of the broken grains being handled.
 By the arrangement of the mill every thing on the five floors may be worked from the bottom floor by means of ropes and slides. Individual motors are used on the different machines, there being one motor of 135 horsepower capacity, another of 95 horsepower and a number of smaller ones.
 All grades of meal and feed will be manufactured, while the owners state that it will be impossible to secure better product than their highest grade bolted meal.
 The label upon the sack containing this high grade meal will be sufficient to guarantee it's fine quality, for it will be the picture of one of Birminghanl's char acters. This will be a likeness of Man dy," the black mammy of Cartoonist Walter Blackman's pen, whose adven- lures appear each Sunday in The Age Herald. She will be shown going home with a sack of meal upon her head while a broad smile adorns her fat face.
 It is this class of industry which tho commercial bodies of the town have been endeavoring to locate in Birmingham, and the putting of it in operation just at this time shows that 'nard times'' are rapidly becoming thing of ,he past.
