NEWS OF DECATUR
Prohibition Laws Are Being Enforced Sherrold Optimistic Over Campaign

Decatur, October 24.-(Special 1.-The lid is on in New Decatur today as a result of the notice given to all soft drink stand men of that city a few days ago by Marshal Will " Davidson that com 1nencing today the prohibition laws of the state must be obeyed to the letter. Several of the soft drink stands in New Decatur are locked up today.
 Dr. Sherrod of Hartselle. the indepen- dent candidate for probate judge of this city against Judge William E. Skeggs, the democratic nominee, was in the Decaturs today Dr. Sherrold says he Us gaining every day and that he feels that he will be elected. His friends say that many of the voters of this county feel that they want change in this office, that Judge Skeggs has held the office for the past IS years and that a change would be of benefit to the county. However, they acknowledge that Judge Skeggs has made fine public official.
 On the other hand Judge Skeggs' friends are confident that he will be elected for another term. The indica- tions are. however, that this is going to be one of the most interesting races for county office that has taken place in this county in number of years.
 Tom F. Woods of Hartselle. republican nominee for state senator. was in De- catur today and mingling among his friends here in the interest of his can didacy. He says that he is going to re- ceive a large vote both in Morgan and in Lawrence county. He believes that his chances for election are quite fiat tering.

along the lines laid down by Judge Arm stead Brown in his charge of several weeks ago. After a grueling session of two weeks, the grand jury delivered a partial report ten days ago in whiclfs50 indictments were returned. These indict- ments covered a few prohibition laws, a number of assault cases and several sem sational charges against people engaged. or said to be engaged, In promoting vio- lations, and conducting alleged bawdy houses.
 A feature of Judge Browns charge, which is said to be under investigation at the present time, is to be found In the indictment of men said to be "higher up' in promoting violations. Judge Brown called attention to the report that pugil- ism was being promoted in the city, and he asked that thorough investigation be made. The presence of a number of prominent bankers, physicians and high officials has led to the rumor that the investigation, in part, has been along lines not yet grasped by the public, which may be vital In the opinion of some, sweeping indictments like those re- turned In Mobile might be made in Mont gomery. This is problematical however, and without foundation.
 It is thought that the inquisitorial body will remain in session at least two weeks longer Already more than 1000 wit nesses have been called before the body.

Drunken Debauch Embarrassing

Tn addition to proving quite embarrass- ing, an alleged drunken debauch entered upon by John Jenkins of Birmingham. has served the unpleasant purpose of bringing about the young mans arrest on a charge of extracting from the reg istry department of the Montgomery post office letter containing SIP. A freakish situation is brought about as result of a showing made to United States Com missioner John A. Fillmore that the young man was not to be held responsible for the offense. owing to the fact that he was without his reasoning powers when the offense was committed.
 It seems that Jenkins and a friend, Ernest T. Faulkner, were in Montgomery together last week, and that Jenkins got upon what in ordinary parlance is known as Spree" The two were friends.
 In the course of events Jenkins volun- teered to act as secretary for Faulkner, who wanted to send registered letter containing SIP to his sister, Miss Stella Faulkner of 502 Hillman avenue, East Lake. The letter was duly deposited and Jenkins pocketed the receipt. Later in the day, however, 1t is represented that he returned to get back the letter, on the ground that he had failed to en- close the sum of money desired. He showed his receipt for the letter and got it back.
 Two days later Faulkner returned to his home and learned there that his sis- ter had failed to get the letter. He caused an investigation to be made. with the result that Jenkins was arrested and brought to Montgomery, where he was bound over this afternoon in the sum of $500
 At the hearing 1t was conclusive that Jenkins was irresponsible for the deed It was shown that when he left the city he returned to Birmingham, where he was attacked by delrium tremens.
