SULLIGER MAKES
 AN INSPECTION
WILL PROBABLY REPORT FAVOR ABLY ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF COOSA RIVER-HE FINDS GREAT
 RESOURCES AROUND ANNISToN

Annston. April 13.-(Special.)-As a re- ment of waterways comes H. N. Sulliger, representing the engineering department of the United States army, who is in Annston for the purpose of collecting data on the natural resources of this section of the Coosa river valley. The government requires that the south show that It's resources justify the investment before it will appropriate money for the development of the resources here, and the visit of Mir. Sulliger is the outcome of meeting of the Anniston Chamber of Commerce recently at which the wa terway question and the resources of this secticn were exhaustiveIy discussed.
 Preparatory to the visit of MT. Sulliger Col R. A. Mitchell of the Little River Power company. accompanied govern ment engineer through the Coosa valley and the expert stated at the meeting of the Commercial club that this is the greatest ore country in the world tho deposits in brown ore exceeding those m the Birmingham district. In the devel- opment of this property it was argued waterway rates would cut a great figure, it being stated that Anniston would be given advantages equal to cities situated directly on the stream.
 The Chamber of Commerce and private citizens have been at work, and if all cities in the valley make a showing equal to that of Anniston, 1t is considered al most a foregone conclusion that the Coosa will soon be opened to greater aaviSa- bllity and her waters used for the de- velopment of power

EUFAULA WORKS ON
 RAILROAD SCHEME

Eufaula, April 13.-(Special )-Pursuant to a call issued several days ago mass meeting of the citizens assembled at the theatre last night when the question of a new railroad was further discussed, and much interest and enthusiasm was inject ed into the project. The Second regiment band of the city furnished music and a large gathering of representative business men were present R. D. Thomas presid- ed and able and eloquent speeches were made by Mayor McDowell and E. P. Thomas on the subject.
 At the close of his remarks, Colonel Thomas read a charter which he had prepared which proposed corporation to be composed of citizens with a capital stock of $5O,o00. The name of the road was designated as the Birmingham, Eu- faula and St. Andrews Bay railroad with the privilege of building between inter mediate points. the proposed points to connect this city with Abbeville. Colonel Thomas explained that such a road would put this city virtually in direct connection with the Panama canal, and was one of the direst needs of Eufaula.
 lie further explained that as soon as 20 per cenI Ol lHe CdplIdl sIOCh ldu DcSn raid in the charter could le obtained, a board of directors could be elected and the rroject would then assure definite proportions.
 Upon the conclusion of his address books of subscription to the capital stock were opened and citizens were requested to come forward and enroll their names. Shares were valued at $100 each and the sum of s10,000 was subscribed in a very short period.
 Owing to the nclemency of the weather and the unavoidable absence of several prominent citizens the matter was then deferred to be resumed in calling upon the citizens at their places of business later, and 1t is thought that but little trouble will be experienced in raising the re- quired sum.
 It is believed that the scheme is now on a more firm foundation than 1t has ever been, and the more conservative bus mess men are strong in their belief that the undertaking will assume proportions that will lead to the actual construction of the road at no very distant day.

CALHOUN COUNTY
 VISITED BY STORM
CONSIDERABLE PROPERTY LOSS IS REPORTED AT WEAVER AND OLD SOLDIERS CAMP, NORTH WEST OF ANNlSToN.

Anniston, April 13.-(Special.) IA furious storm, the velocity of which was 30 miles per hour struck this section about 2;45 o'clock this morning and inflicted con siderable damage. The city escaped any thing more than a fierce gale, which frightened some of the citizens.
 Up in the neighborhood of Weaver and at the old soldier camp northwest of the city, where a considerable negro popula7 ton resides, the fierceness of the storm was felt at it's worst and there was con- siderable destruction of property though no lives were lost.
 JsT. Clay, who resides half a mile south of Weaver, suffered the loss of his barn and blacksmith shop, besides considerable damage to stock housed in the barn. One of his horses was consid- erably skinned and bruised but the in- juries were not such, it is thought, as will prove permanent. The barn was blown over but not crushed down, and for that reason no greater damage was inflicted to the stock. The help of the neighborhood was required however, to release the stock from their peril and restore order.
 AL the Solulef camp SlIo tHe StoTI1 WdS more furious and the damage more ex- tensive. Three dwellings, a church. and two stables were wrecked by the blast Wesley Britton's house was blown off its pillars and over on its side. damaging the property to the extent of about $30O Wesley and his two children were penned up in the house after the wreck until the doors could be broken open, when they made their escape. His furniture also was considerably damaged
 The homes of Henry Thornton, John Wilson and the father of the latter were also blown down or, wrenched and wrecked One room of the latter's house was blown 300 yards and torn into splin- ters. His furniture was practically de- stroyed. His loss will amount to $175 Henry Thornton's house was damaged in the sum of about $500.
 Besides this the church of the village was blown off it's pillars and wrecked, entailing loss of s200. Two stables were stripped of their roofs and blown over, but strange to say, the stock standing in them were not injured.
 The wind struck the little village by a kind of dip and immediately rose into the elements and passed on, leaving a trail of destruction to mark its fury.

BL OOD-G CLEANSING.
 SPRING TONIC.

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an Ideal
 Spring Medicine That Never Fails to
 Put the Blood in Right Condition and
 to Make Life Worth Living.
 Now when the gentle Spring days are here and the seasonable Spring showers are revivifying all nature, and all plant life is starting to bud forth in glory, many a man and woman does not feel the joyousness which they should at this season. Rather they feel languid, tired, have very little or no appetite, ambition is gone, lack energy, enjoy neither work nor rest. Life in their case at least is largely a burden, a thing to be endured, not to be enjoyed. All this simply means that the system needs toning up, and each and every function of the body needs stimulating and strengthening This once accomplished, life again be- comes a joy and pleasure.
 If your system is in need of blood cleanising tonic that will start and then keep the whole ma chinery of the human frame run ming smoothly and naturally, it IS your evident duty to seek out and remedy that will do the work of cleans ing the blood and building up the tis- sue without at the same time leaving any injurious effects.
 Many physicians prescribe and in- dorse Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as an ideal Spring medicine, one that does its work effectively in purifying the blood, in stimulating the heart, in aid ing digestion and in adding fresh vigor and life to the entire body Large num- bers of those who have used Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey are most loud in it's praise.
 It is the only absolute preventive and cure of pneumonia, consumption, grip, bronchitis, asthma, stomach anu nervous diseases, malaria and low levers.
 If weak and run down, take a tea spoonful four times a day in half a glass of milk or water.

NARROWLY ESCAPES MOB

Marion, April Special )-Pleas- ant Foster, a negro on the plantation of c. H. Moon in the western part of the county, murdered his wife last Sun day, after which he horribly mutilated her body in such a manner as to so incense the negroes that it was neces- sary to rush Foster to the county jail to prevent him being lynched.
 He shot his wife three times. then beat her head to pulp with the butt of his gun, after which he threw the body into the road, tore away the clothing and would have torn the body to pieces had not the negroes made a rush for him to give him similar treat ment. When he saw his own life about to go he begged pitiously for the white people to save him from the mob. The only excuse he can give for the crime is he forbid his wife going to church on Sunday under penalty of death. She only thought him testing and went along. On the return he kept the threat Now that he is safely in jail no ap- prehension is felt for his safety by the county officials.
 The University Glee club gave a con cert at Judson auditorium last night to the largest audience seen at the auditorium this season. For more than two hours the boys held the audience at the height of expectancy The Messrs. Peoples and Graham are for mer Marion boys and were favorites throughout the evening"
