 Judge Buckley also charged the jury to go after the social clubs wherein whisky and beer is dispensed and that if it was found that the prohibition laws of the state were being violated it was their sworn duty to bring in Indictments He referred to the recent shooting that resulted in death at the local Beavers club and said he had been informed that wagon load after wagon load of whisky had been and was hauled to the so-called social clubs of Meridian weekly.
 He also charged the jury to investigate the vagraney law, the alleged houses of i'll repute and the law against miscegen- atlon. Murder, pistol toting and the sale of blind tiger whisky he referred to as three diabolioal crimes. saying the man who sticks a pistol in his pocket has murder in his heart.

Eight Horses Burned in Stable.

''The fire which destroyed the livery stable of the Huey Livery Co. last night was the most disastrous experienced in Bessemer since the burning of the Long, Lewis Hardware Co.,. seven years ago." said Deputy Sheriff George w. Jones to- day. "The fire burned at an incredible rate and after 20 minutes was beyond control. The worst feature in the fire was the cremation of the eight horses. seven of which belonged to the firm and one to the Peoples Home Telephone com- pany. The stables were entirely destroyed and nothing was left standing but the brick shell. Besides the loss of the horses and the building about three tons of feedstuff was burned, along with prac- tically all the vehicles. The loss, above the insurance carried, is estimated to be about $10.00O.'

President Taft, who believes that
the chief magistrate of the nation
should keep in as close touch with
the people as the duties and require
ments of the Office admit, is planning
notable trip during the late sum-
mer and early autumn, provided con-
gress decides to continue the annual
appropriation of $4,000 for travel
ing expenses allowed during the
closing years of the Roosevelt adj
Illustration. The trip the Presi-
tent desires to make to the West
during the late summer will be en-
tirely too expensive to be paid for
out of his own pocket. It is said
the cost will be in the neighborhood
of $1,000 If he goes West, Mr..
Taft will include Alaska in the jour-
ney. No President has ever visited
