 PISTOL TOT|NG" Says Blind Tigers Exercise Corrupt Influence SCHOOLS WILL SOON OPEN Labor Day Celebration in Anniston Was Big Event-Had Big Barbecue With Public Speaking and
 Fireworks
SCHOOLS WILL SOON OPEN

Anniston, September 5.-(Special )-Judge Thomas W. Coleman of the Anniston city court laid special stress on the evils at tending the "pistol-toting habit and the blind tiger evil in his address to the gisnd jury which was duly sworn and empanelled Monday afternoon, with c. F. Wilson as foreman. A departure in his charge was his reference to the sale of adulterated candies, which constituted an- other feature of the address.
 ''The old law against carrying con cealed weapons Judge Coleman said, lis now somewhat antiquated in this state, and then read the jury the new Alabama law which prohibits the carrying of pis- tols outside of one's premises by any one other than mail carriers and duly author 1zed officers of the law. He then dwelt upon the evils of the pistol 'totin' habit and charged the jury to devote special at tention to violations of this kind.
 There is a general suspicion" Judge Coleman remarked with a dry humor, -'that there are blind tigers in Anniston, and you will not do your duty. in my opinion, if you do not make a rigid ef- fort to ascertain if the prohibition law is being violated; for the blind tiger ex- ercises corrupting influence that sur passes any other agency of which I know
 Speaking of adulterated candies, Judge Coleman said that in so far as he was aware. this question had never been in- vestigated by a jury in Calhoun county. He said that it should be investigated at this time, and he stressed it In connection with a reference to the pharmacy law, which he also mentioned especially ilt his charge.

VARDAMAN SPEAKS
 AT MERIDIAN

Meridian, Miss, September 5.-(Special.) The closing feature of the Labor Day celebration in Meridian was a speech to- night at Highland park by ex-Gov. James K. Vardaman, who spoke in the interest of his candidacy for the United States Senate. MT. Vardaman arrived in the city at 6 o'clock from vicksbuIg, where he spoke this morning. He was met at the depot by a large crowd ard was es- corted to the Southern hotel in an auto mobile. At the hotel he shook hands with hundreds of warm friends and suppor- ters.
 When he was introduced tonight at the park by Hon. Allan McCanta, who today at a meeting of Vardaman supporteds was elected chairman of the Lauderdale county campaign committee, he was greeted by undoubtedly the largest crowd that has ever assembled at Highland park, and the greeting was one of great enthusiasm. In fact, 1t was an ovation, the like of which has never before been accorded any single man in this city ex- cepting, perhaps, President Taft, when he spoke here just before his inaugura- ton.
 It was several minutes after his intro duction before the applause subsided suf- foiently for him to begin his speech, which was purely political one, all though he said he would not enter into

conclusion can only be reached promptly
 if we avoid acrimony, imputations or bad faith and political controversy.
 "The public domain of the government of the United States. including all the sessions from those of the 13 states that made sessions to the United States and including Alaska. amounted in all to about 1,S00000 00,000 acres. Of this there is left as purely government property outside of Alaska something like 700,000000 of acres. Of this the national forest re- serves in the United States proper em- brace IA O00,O00 acres. The rest is largely mountain or arid country, offering some opportunity for agriculture by dry farm ing and by reclamation, and containing metals as well as coal, phospates oils. and natural gas. Then the government owns many tracts of land lying along the margins of streams that have water pow CT, the use of which Is necessary in the conversion of the power into elec- trcity and Is transmission"

 BOA Farley Building

Before an audience of visitors at the Farley building, the celebrated electro radio doctors in suite S04 performed a cure which may be said to be miracu- lous. Thomas Jenkins, formerly work ing for the l.. & N. R. R., lost his hear
 ing from catarrh and also lost his posi- tion with 1t. Having tried several spe- cialists. he decided that nothing could do him any good and resigned to his fate of being made apart from his fel- low men; tried to make the best of life in his sphere, never dreaming of the sudden gocd fortune bound to come his way Hearing about the wonderful cures being performed by electro-radio, he resolved to go see the doctor at the Farley building After an examination they agreed to accept his case. He was placed on the diagraphosocope, an in strument which reveals to the eye every part of the ear. A small growth was discovered and removed in less than five minutes without the knife, after which

 tional Congress adhered to the doctrine of Abraham Lincoln that the public lands are a permanent national posses sion, held in trust for the maturing states.
 '2. That state government no less bene- ficently than national government, is cap able of dividing and administering laws for the conservation of public property; and that the national and state govern ments should legisatively coordinate to the end that within a reasonable period of time the state governments be conceded the full and complete administration of such conservation laws as may be found adaptable to the varying conditions of the several states
 '3. That the experience of the conserva- ton states demonstrates that disposition of public property made under existing national conservation laws and regula- tions have tended to intrench monopolies and interests menacing the common vel fare; and that notifications of such laws and regulations should be promoted by the conservation congress.
 A. That the elimination from the na- tional forest reserves of all homestead and untimbered grazing lands Is immedi- ately expedient
 "5. That use and control of all water power inheres of right in the states within restrictions insuring perpetual free dom from monopoly.
 "6. That the privilege of American citi- zens to seek and develop mineral wealth wherever 1t may be found should be fully amplified and secured by laws.
 IT. That the idea of deriving federal revenue from the physical resources of the states is repugnant to that adjust ment of constitutional powers which guar antees the perpetuity of the union"
 Plea for the State
 Governor Hay pleaded briefly for state control. He declared that there was just as much reason for Secretary Wilson to come out to Washington and harvest their crops as to expect the federal government to attend to the states natural resources.
 If the states are not able to control the corporations" said he, they might as well go back to territorial days and be done with It.. President Taft in his ad- dress before noon expressed our ideas bet ter than I can. Also might remark that the states which are strongest for na- tional control are those states whose re- sources have been disposed of long ago.

He devoted con- siderable of his time to his views on the negro question pointing out the im- lortance of this issue from his welt known standpoint. He referred to his ad- mnistration as governor and explained his actions in many important instances, made passing reference to the recent sem atorial caucus and declared 1t was his great ambition to go to the United States Senate and work in the interest of 'plain people" He predicted success for the democratic party in the coming election of congrtssmen.
 Throughout his speech Governor Varda- man was the recipient of great applause, even women and children joining in the handclapping. This Is the first speech Governor ardaman has delivered in this city since his memorable joint debate with John Sharp Williams, when he opposed the latter for United States senator At that time this county went for Williams by something over 300 votes.
