TALLADEGA POSSE
 IS SEEKING NEGRO
TENSE IS STILL AT LARGE-REG- IsTRATIoN IS LIGHT IN ITALIA DEGA COUNTY

Talladega, August 1o-(special. .)-At Lin coin, IA miles north of Talladega, Tues day afternoon, at about 1 O oclock, an un- known negro attempted an assault upon Miss Perdue, a white girl, the daughter Of well-known farmer named Bud Per due, living about two miles from Lin coin. Mir. Hackney of Lincoln found the girl on the roadside. On reaching Lincoln MT Hackney gave the alarm, and i'm mediately posse of well-armed and de- termined citizens set out in pursuit, but at dark on Tuesday evening the negro had not been captured. The whole commun- ity is thoroughly aroused, and if the negro is caught 1t is not at all likely that he will ever reach the Talladega jail
 The work of the registration officers of this county has been light this session of the board. The officials have just com pleted the round of the county with the result that only 60 additions have been made to the registered list. It is little peculiar that no negro applied for regis tration, and there are not as many as 100 registered negro voters on the list.
 The local paper, Our Mountain Home, is beginning campaign for the benefit of the stranger who travels the country roads, insisting that road officers should comply with the law. The statute com pels road overseers within three months of their appointment to set up mile posts at the end of each mile, and where the road forks or crosses another public road to erect index boards with directions, and permits the road overseer to contract for mile posts and direction boards to be paid for by the county treasurer. But few counties in Alabama have complied with this timely statute

Grand Jury Finishes Work Quickly.
 Judson College Repairs

Marion, August 10-(Special. )-The Per ry county grand jury practically had fin ished all business Tuesday at noon and with a preliminary examination of the poorfarm, convict farm, jail and county books, will adjourn some time tomorrow. E. D. Shivers is foreman and very little lawlessness has been reported from the county during the past six months other than violations of the prohibition laws
 An effort will be made at the next leg islature to have the time of holding the circuit court of Perry county changed from the second Monday in February and August to the third Monday in May and November. To do this would only neces- sitate a change between Perry and Will cox counties, and would take Judge Miller home for the last session in his cir cult. No opposition to the change is be- ing found in this county and 1t meets with Judge Miller's approval
 The old Judge Speed home, located on the north suburb of Marion, was sold this week to John H. Ham of Sivere beat for S1200. MT. Ham will move his family to Marion about October 1.
 Contracts have been let for repairs on the main building at Judson college, and everything will be in fine condition for the opening on September 15.

Law Protects Negroes

Because each Is witness against the others, and all have refused to testify on the constitutional ground of self-in- elimination, charges against five Anda- lusia negroes of concealing jewelry SUD- posed to be from bankrupt stocks of the Shreve interests, have been dropped In every attempt 1t was found that the testimony was so interlocked that each man or woman could refuse to give evil dence. As result, the prosecution was abandoned The negroes are Will Jack son, Ed Dean. Amera Dean, Jesse Jack san and Jim Reynolds
 Jesse Jackson and Jim Reynolds were first arrested by the Montgomery police with the jewelry valued at 5000. On trial before the recorder they said they stole the jewelry from the house of Will Jackson at Andalusia. This confession, however, was not valid in any effort of the government to put on them the charge of receiving the goods from bank rupt stocks, though the state may pro- ceed against them.
 It was the desire of District Attor- ney Ambrecht, who Is assistant attorney general of the United States. to try the Shreve cases. to make this link In the showing of the disposal of the goods of the Shreve stores, but the pecu- liar law situation hampered him. How ever, 1t is known that all five of the negroes have been summoned before the grand jury of the federal court now in session.

MUCH INTEREST IN
 PRELIMINARY TRIAL Leo Gilbert Is Charged With
 Shooting Two Girls TO HAVE HEARING TODAY Noble Institute FacuIty Is Complete. School Undergoing Repairs-Camp
 McKleroy Is Broken After
 Stormy Week
TO HAVE HEARING TODAY

Anniston, August -(Special) )-Un- usual interest has been manifested in the preliminary hearing this morning of Leo Gilbert, the rum-crazed white man who shot and instantly killed Willie Graham, injuring her sister, Lee Graham, while she was supporting the dying woman, Tues day afternoon. The hearing will be held before Justice James F. Green, and 1t is probable that the court room will be crowded, to It's capacity.
 From his actions since he has been placed in jail it is inferred that Gilbert will probably waive examination when he is arraigned, and as a result of his hav- ing made the statement that he had taken a dose of laudanum Tuesday, which he claims aggravated the effect of his whisky, it Is believed that he will eventu- ally make plea of Responsibility on account of temporary insanity. PhySi- clans who examined the prisoner after he had been placed in jail, however, state that they found no signs of poison in his system, and that his only trouble was too much liquor.
 Unless complications set In 1t Is prac- tically certain that no serious effects will follow the shooting of Lee Graham, and there is a probability that she will be the chief witness against him when he faces Justice Green Thursday morning.

 Winston county might be said to be one of the very few undeveloped coun. ties of the state. yet in minerals it is one of the richest It has been but a few years ago since this county was without railroad and was occupied only by scant population of moonshiners, who believed that they had God-given right to make whisky without paying the United States government a revenue on it, and these people practically made their own laws under which they were governed They were in reality a nation within themselves.
