JAIL DELIVERY SAVED AT ANNISTON

Anniston, June 11.-(Special) "A big city jail delivery and possibly the destruc- tion of the building by fire last night was averted only by a discovery on the part of Chief of Police Jirels at 11:45 in a cell engaged in tearing up the floor with picks, which they had carried into the prison concealed under their clothes.
 This morning there was an investigation
 by the recorder and W. B. Marchman
 Joe Thomas, Albert Usher, H. Sullivan, s. Harrington and Frank Woods, all ne-
 goes, were fined $5210 and given ser
 vice sentences of three months each on
 charges of defacing city property.
 Will Vinson, who was convicted Thurs
 day morning on a charge of vagrancy,
 and Doctor Norris. who is serving long sentence for selling liquor, were also
 in the cell, but Will Vinson was exon-
 erated of charge against him of try ing to break out by his fellow prisoners and Doctor" Norris was not accused of it, but was credited with furnishing the evidence against the others, who were convicted The Doctor said he had
 ellCS u olop tllS Jdll DIedhlQB when ne
 found out what was going on In fact,
 he said, those engaged in the job did
 stop for time under his threat to raise
 an alarm, but when he had gone to sleep
 again they renewed their efforts.
 Two road picks without handles had
 been carried into the cell by Joe Thomas
 and Frank Woods concealed, 1t is pre-
 stunned, in their clothes. A shovel was
 also found in the cell, but it's presence
 there was accounted for by the statement
 of Mary McCarty, female prisoner, who
 said she was using it to clean up the
 cell yesterday afternoon and inadvertent-
 ly left 1t there With these tools to work with the prisoners began to make merry with songs and shouting and to tear up the floor of the cell. The floor is of dou- ble layers and rests on wide sleepers. With the picks the negroes tore a con- siderable hole through the top floor and then undertook to burn way through the lower. Doctor" Norris said that 1t was the smoke from the burning floor that woke him from his slumbers and on seeing what was going on he had
 reproved the prisoners and they put out the fire with water and quiet was re- | stored. The doctor went to sleep again | but probably before a great while he l was again aroused by the singing of the | prisoners and the stifling smoke in the | cell and it was not long after this that l the chief of police made his discovery | of the effort on the part of the prisoners | to dig and burn their way out of the 1 cell. When the chief accosted the pris- l oners they offered the singular excuse | that they were trying to kill the chinches | Warden Thrasher said that he was not l on duty when the prisoners were brought | in and therefore did not know they had | the picks with them.

Mabry pre- siding judgments were rendered against the Cawthon Cotton Mills in the sum of $23, A 35, brought by the Selma National bank, and s1s,S29 12, brought by the City Bank and Trust company of Mobile This property is well worth many times these amounts, but have been idle for prac- tically the past year. There have been pending propositions to sell both the Es- telle Cotton Mills and the Cawthon Cot ton Mills, but for some reason not ex- plained no deal has been consummated.
 Considerable impetus was given polit- ical matters by the announcement that Percy Dawson would be a candidate for county commissioner from the city dis trict Up to this time it was believed that the present commissioner, Julien Smith, would not have opposition, but the announcement that MT. Dawson will be in the race may mean that there will be a number of others In truth, the in dications are that there will be caG/i- dates galore for every office in the gift of the people of Dallas county in the coming primary election.

WHITE MAN KILLS
 A NEGRO TENANT

Gadsden, June 11.-(Special.)- )-Bob Der ry, negro farmer of Turkeytown. was shot and instantly killed this morning at daybreak by Jack whitmore, a white man, on whose land Berry was a tenant. The killing was the result of quarrel said to have been forced on the negro by Whitmore because he would not kill a calf which it is alleged had been stolen by Whitmore from one of the neigh bors.
 A son of Berry was present at the kill ing and was himself wounded during the combat between Whitmore and his father. According to the story of the boy Whit more came to the cabin of the Berry fam fly this morning at o'clock and asked his father to go with him to find George Whitmore, father of the murderer That he led his father and himself across the fields to an old barn and then requested them to kill calf that was there con fined,and which the negroes claim was the property of a neighbor.
 Whitmore had been drinking and Berry not only refused to comply with the request but instructed his son to turn the calf loose. This angered whitmore and the trouble began. It seems that both were armed, and after a preliminary tussle, both began firing. Whitmore lev eled his gun at the negro's heart, fired and killed him instantly. In the melee the negro boy was also shot in the leg. Whitmore is also wounded but 1t is not known as yet how seriously.
 As soon as the news of the killing reached the sheriff's office a couple of deputies and the chief of police, with his bloodhounds, left for the scene of the tragedy and succeeding in trailing Whit more and placing him under arrest.
 The druggists convention came to a close last night with an entertainment by the Business Mems club with banquet at their club rooms. c. P. Smith. presi- dent of the club, acted as toastmaster and a number of clever speeches were made.
