FULLER BILL.
First Case Under Law at padev''le
Comes Up.

Dadeville, December 7-(Special)-ln the
Talllapoosa county court yesterday, In
which a negro was up for trial for violat-
ing the prohibition law, arose the first
case under the much-talked of Fuller
bill, which has come up in this section.
One Heard was the defendant, and when
the case was called his counsel said that
he would demand trial by jury. thus pass
ing his case to await the action Of the
grand jury. This is a practice which
has prevailed in such cases heretofore for
frequently the grand jury would fail to
indict. But today the solicitor argued
that he could not demand such trial and
Judge Sorrell held with him and forced
the defendant to go to trial. He was
convicted, fined $50 and an additional
sentence of six months in the chaingang
was added. His case was appealed to the
circuit court, however Many other minor
cases were disposed of during the term
of the court.

tomorrow. The report Of the committee
vii be received at the special meeting to-
m ow night.
A complaint was registered by the mer-
chants of the town against the two street
fairs which were to come to Bessemer
during Christmas week They asked that
the council take some action to prevent
this as 1t did not seem fair to the mer-
chants OF the city. An ordinance was
passed which set the license of each tent
at $25 per day. 1t is thought that this
would be sufficient.
G. H Stevenson asked the council to
appoint a committee which would work
in conjunction with committee from the
board of trade to arrange for the celebra-
ton OF the passing of the first train OF
the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic.
The reports of the officers were received

Two houses were destroyed by fire early
this morning. The houses were situated
on Hall avenue and were occupied by Mr..
Roden and Mr.. Smith. 1t seems that the
fire originated in the Roden home and
Mr. Roden had a very narrow escape
from death. being barely able to escape
in his night clothes. The entire con-
tents of the Roden home were destroyed
but the Smith house was warned in time
to remove the furniture. One hundred and
fifty dollars in money was lost in the
first fire and as yet has not been found.
1t is thought that it was burned.
