 IS THREATENED

Trenton, Ga, February 1-Another of Uncle Sams storekeepers and gaugers, Ben c. Thompson, is behind the bars of the county jail here by order of Judge Fite Of the Dade county court and clash between state and federal courts more serious than that following the recent incarceration of Storekeeper and Gauger Stegall threatens. Judge Fite and So- licitor Milner will arrive here early in the morning prepared to resist strenuous ly any efforts of the federal authorities to interfere with their plans A telegram from Atlanta also announces that two United States deputy marshals will ar- rive tomorrow armed with a writ of habeas corpus for the custody of Thomp- son.
 George w. Cureton's distillery at Rising Pawn, where Thompson was stationed, is closed, and every entrance bears the sign of the high sheriff of Dade county.
 In obedience to an order of Judge Fite, Sheriff Thurman seized the Cureton distil- lery and arrested Thompson. The sheriff was specifically instructed to arrest any person who attempted to interfere with him, and when Storekeeper and Gauger Thompson refused to turn over his keys to the sheriff he was taken in custody.
 Thompson declined to make a statement tonight, but the owners of the distillery have been in communication with the federal authorities in Atlanta and inter- esting developments are looked for tomor- row.

TALLADEGA WILL
 HAVE BALL TEAM
q PARK BEING PUT IN sHAPE-HAy- ING TROUBLE WITH DRINKING wATER-FIFTEEN HUNDRED PAY POLL TAX.

Talladega, February 1.-(special 1.-The lovers of baseball attended mass meet ing at the Talladega National bank last night for the purpose of planning to give the citizens good ball during the coming summer. A park has been donated by a philanthropic lady and the question of building a grandstand and improving the park for ball purposes was one of the themes discussed There was a differ ence of views among the leading pro- motors as to the character of games to be played. One element wanted Talladega to organize a club and enter a league composed of Anniston, Cedartown, Rome, Pell City, Gadsden and Sylcauga. The other view was that 1t would be more to have strictly amateur games among the county clubs neighbors and players who are known. An organza- tion was perfected with J. w. Woodward, chairman. A committee, consisting of T. D. Boynton, pr. Sam Welsh, Judge J. E. Camp, c. l.. Bruner and A. G. Storey, was appointed to canvass the matter and to do what was necessary in the prem ises. A grandstand will be built at once.

 The city water has had peculiar taste fer some time past, matter which has been generally complained of by con sumers. The taste resembles creosote or coal tar or burning wood. Some theorists contend that it is from the rope fac tory, which was aflre some weeks since, and which is situated about a block northwest of the spring. Others claim that it is from the gas factory, just be- low the pol at the waterhouse.
