BETTER COTTON MOVEMENT

Gadsden, January 20-(Special.) )-At a meeting of the board of education held yesterday evening the first steps were taken looking to the bettering of the school and an enlargement of the course Of study. A committee was appointed to make a careful investigation of the matter of requirements and formulate report to he submitted to the city council for its consideration in determining upon the city's future school system and its needs
 It is the plan of the board to secure i. bond issue for not less than $600OO for the purpose of erecting a new D-room huilding and the repair of the old ones and then to enlarge the course of study so that graduates of the high school will be nrepared to enter any of the colleges or universities in the country.
 The high character of the schools as all ready inaugurated here has been po- tent factor in the upbuilding of the city, and the school board believes 1t to be wise policy to keep the local educational facilities the equal of any in the state or 4o he found in city the size of Gadsden anywhere. As the public has heretofore alwavs indorsed any move for the ad- vance of the schools there is little doubt that the present plan in the line or pro-

Among First Alleged ffenders Of Carmichael Law In
 Alabama
SELLS STRONG CIDER
 AS WHOLESALE GROCER
The Grand Jury of Selma City Court Springs a Genuine Sensation. Several Other Near Beer
 Dealers Indicted.

Selma January 20.-(Special)- Ernest Lamar, president of the local Anti Saloon league. was indicted today by the grand judy of the city court for violating the state prohibition law. As this is among the first indictments for this offense under the Carmichael law in the state it will probably be the one to go to the supreme court for de- cision.
 Law Lamar, a brother and partner of Ernest Lamar in the wholesale grocery business, was also indicted
 The grand jury made it's final reprot today and adjourned. One hundred and nine indictments were returned.
 Others indicted for violation of the prohibition law are Arthur Collman, Nick Lakeos, Nathan Janko, Sam Rosen- berg, Sam Goldstein, F. V. Elder and V. D. Young, all keepers of near beer places. The latter were indicted upon the proposition that the brands of near beer sold contained maltace in viola tion of section 1867 of the code, Judge Mabry having charged the grand jury specially on this section upon the con- vening of court and an analysis of tn that maltace entered largely into the make up of the beverages The first analysis received from the state chemist showed only about 2 per cent of alcohol, but a second analysis was requested the presence of matlace being sought. As soon as this analysis was forth coming the indictments were found.
 that the indictments against Ernest and Law Lamar were found and this came after an analysis of a certain cider sold by the firm had been reported from the state chemist and was found to contain 9.86 per cent of alcohol. As Ernest Lamar is president of the Anti Saloon league and has been active in all prohibition matters his indictment caused nothing less than sensation.
 The witnesses in the near beer cases are named as B. B. Ross, V. B. Atkins. E.. l.. Amar and D. Partridge, Jr. The witnesses in the cider cases against the two Lamars are Alex Cawthon, B. B.. Ross, Nick Lakeos, T. F. Ormand and Lee Weissinger.
 All of these against whom indict- ments are found have been arrested and | bonds made for their appearance on February 5 when the cases will be | called. The near beer sellers declare they have had the precedents of Jeffer son cunty and other places for a year and were ignorant of any inhibition of law against the sale of the beverage. The Messrs. Lamar are not thought to have any knowledge of the amount of alcohol contained in the cider and the cases will attract state wide attention when they come to trial, as they are the first indictments to be found un- der the Carmichael act and the concur rent section of the state code.

MERRILL STILL IN
 BAD CONDITION

University, January 20-tspecial)-The condition of W. H. Merrill. who was brutally attacked Sunday evening while on his way to his boarding house, re- mains practically unchanged, though if there has been any variation it is for the better. His rest was somewhat easier last night, but he is still in comatose state.
 The circumstances surrounding the out rage are as obscure as ever. no clue as to the identity of the perpetrator having been obtained up to the present time. A reward of $150, which will probably oe doubled, has been offered for the appre- hension and conviction of the guilty party.
 The work of the laying of the new water mains has just begun. For a number or years the university has had system or water works which supplied the univer- sity buildings with pure spring water, but the new plant when completed will serve the entire community.

Truck Farmers Are Supplying New
 Crop Strawberries.

Greenville, January 2O.-(Special.) )-The brated yesterday by the Eliza T. Por- ter chapter, United Daughters of the Con federacy, at the residence of Mrs. R. A. Lee. They had as their guests Father Ryan chapter and there were altogether 50 present. The decorations were in the Confederate colors, the life-sized portrait of General Lee being given special prom thence The programme for the occasion was as follows: Sketch of the life of Gen. R. E. Lee. Mrs. w. M. Blackwelder; "A Gypsy Maiden" vocal selection, Miss Donna Lee; reminiscense of Gen. Lee, Mrs. w. J. Zealand; Good Night" piano selection Miss Frences Beeland: notices of General Lee, Mrs. Annie Anderson; 'I'd Live and I'd Love Thee" vocal se- lection by Mrs. R. A. Beeland. Choice re- treatments were served after the con- clusion of the programme and the after noon proved both profitable and pleas ant.
 The farmers in this county have taken advantage of the dry fall and have made preparation for the coming crop. They are far in advance of last year any other season In recent years. Most of them have already their cotton and corn land ready for the seed when the time comes for planting. Most of the farmers will not as heretofore grow cotton to the exclusion of corn, and 1t is safely predicted that more corn will be grown in Butler this year than ever before.
 truck farmer, whose farm is near this city, is supplying the people with most delicious strawberries They are large and the flavor is as good as in the height of the season.

CELEBRATION FOR
 POE AND R. E. LEE

University. January 2O.-(Special) )-Yes- terday was a day of celebration at the university. in which students, faculty and townspeople did honor to the memory of the two great southerners, Robert E. Lee and Edgar Allan Poe. In the morn ing from Il till 1, the military genius and the virtue of the former were extolled, while in the evening the writings of the latter were praised and read. Large and appreciative audiences were in attendance at both gatherings.
 In the morning the exercises consisted of an invocation by the Rev. MT. Jen-. kins of the Methodist church in Tusca- loosa, the singing of Lees favorite hymn by the Glee club, the reading of his best loved Psalm, an address by Sam Will John of Birmingham and the singing of Dixie. In his talk MT. John first went into all of the details of the campaign which eliminated with the battle of Chan cellorsville, and by so doing illustrated clearly Lees great tactical skill In the course of this process the speaker paid glowing tributes to the men of Alabama who played such a brilliant part in this campaign. He closed by pointing out the noble qualities of Lees character and holding him up model to be followed by southern youth.
 The informal celebration of the Poe cen- tennial, which began at 7:30 in the even- ing, was highly enjoyable. In a few appropriate words President Abercrombie explained the nature of the occasion and presented to the audience pr. Charles H. Barnweil, professor of English in the university, who made a brief talk on the life and writings of Poe. The speaker passed over his life without pointing out more than few of the salient points, devoting most of the time to an apprecia- tive discussion of the poetry and prose tales of the strange genius After Dr. Barnwell had finished. Professor Losey, also of the English department of the uni versity, read 'The Raven," ''Ulalume," 'The Bells'' and "Annabel Lee" His interpretation of these strangely beautiful word symphonies was highly enjoyed. In ''The Bells he brought out with pow erful effect the music of the words.
