FOWLS NOT STOCK
IS COURTS RULING
Unique Damage Suit Comes
Up at Admission
FARMERS UNION RALLY
BIackmon Not Worried About Re-
publican Oppoxition-Prob-
lem Confronts Court

Admission, July s.-(Special, Judge A.
B. Sawyer rendered decision in his court
in this city this afternoon, in which he
declares that as geese are classed as
fowls and as fowls are not stock, no goose
or gander in the state of Alabama is sub
ject to the restrictions imposed by the
stock laws of this state, it being under
stood that this is the first time that this
point has come up in the courts within
the history of Alabama.
The case in question was a damage suit
brought by Mrs. Matilda Pugh against
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Browning, it being
alleged by the plaintiff that certain
nomadic geese belonging to the defend
ants had taken refuge in her patch and
greatly damaged her crops. In his de-
cision Judge Sawyer says that the Ala
bama stock law mentions stock alone,
and does not apply to fowls. This law
likewise reverses the common law and al
lows all domestic fowls to roam at large
unless restricted by statute.
All of the principals in this suite re-
side in Mechanicsville and the rowing
tendency of the gastronomic fowls that
belong to the defendants in the case
has been the subject of local conflict in
this suburb of the Model City.

SUBMARINE RAMS
GUNB0AT BADLY

Provincetown, Mass, July 1.-THE gun
boat Castine, flagship of the submarine
flotula was rammed by the submarine
Bonita during the maneuvers today and
was beached to prevent her from sink
ing. No one aboard was injured
Two of the plates of the Castine were
loosened. Her dynamo and boiler de-
partments between frames No. 10 and
No. 81 are flooded, but the bulkheads
are said to be holding firm.
The accident happened during a mimic
attack on the Castine by the suhnar
ines, the Bonita apparently misjudging
the distance and striking the gunboat
with considerable force. The men on
both boats felt the impact and some
were momentaruy stunned, but no one
was injured The Bonita escaped with
the slight denting of a portion of her
armor and the loss of a small section of
her railing.
As soon as it was seen how badly the
Castine was damaged, it was decided to
beach her near North Truro She will
be thoroughly examined tomorrow and
preparations made for repairing the dam
age.

$4,000 SHORTAGE
Is DISCOVERED

swainsboro, Ca, July ia shortage
of $4,000 it was announced tonight, has
been discovered in the accounts of the
Citizens Bank of this place as result
of which Hugh Strickland, cashier. and
L. W. Ponder, former bookkeeper, are
under bond of $4,000 each. Bank exam
liners from Atlanta are still working on
the books of the institution.
A short time ago Ponder resigned his
position of bookkeeper and went to live
in Florida. A bookkeeper was secured
from one of the John d. Walker chain
of banks to temporarily fill the place,
and in a day after he went into
the bank he reported to President Cope
land that he would have to resign the
position, stating that the cash books
called for a certain amount of money
and that the money was not in the vault
Immediately two examiners were wired
for from Atlanta and careful examin-
alton developed the fact that there was
shortage. Ponder hearing that an ex-
animation was on, came to Swanshoro
from Florida. Following a conference
between Ponder and the examiners
Strickland was relieved of his duties as
cashier.

The state and district republicans are
IT. Birmingham in full force and political
discussions are in order.
The representative republicans of Ala
hama are a fine lot of men. They are
good citizens They seem to get great
deal of satisfaction on, of Boosting about
what they will do to the democrats In
various districts and some of them are
optimistic enough to think they can scare
somebody in the state.
Do not disturb them. If they like it 1t
is a pity to disillusionize them.
r. R. McClesky of Boaz is one of the
prominent republicans in town. He is a
business man and one of the busiest in
North Alabama. He is president of the
Boaz Cotton Oil company and is identi-
fed with a number of other important
enterprises in Marshall and adjoining
counties.

SUBMARINE BREAKS
EXISTING RECORDS

Washington, July 1.-THE remarkable
run of the submarine boat Salmon from
Quincy, Mass, to Hamilton, Bermuda,
aroused much interest among naval of
ficers but did not surprise them
1t is generally understood here that the
purpose of the Long Straight Away trip
was to expedite action on the part of
the South American countries looking to
purchares of that type of vessel and it
is significant that a Chilean official was
among those aboard the Salmon which
has not yet been turned over to the
United States government.
There is no doubt that the vessel broke
all records so far as American submar-
ines are concerned, but the performance
of a foreign vessel, a Scandinavian craft
as the naval experts recollect 1t, almost
If not quite equalled the Salmons
achievement.
