Jesse James ran amuck in Anniston yesterday evening. but in this instance 1t was not the proverbial Jesse of blood and-thunder novel fame, the man being of the colored persuasion, and instead of a pistol he used a razor, the weapon of his race.

WILBUR WRIGHT
 IN MONTGOMERY Aviator Is Looking for Winter
 Trials Camp
JURY LAW TROUBLESOME
pr. Stasg Is in Capital City in Interest of Anniston CoIiege-OpeIika Man VIII Make Race
 for Treasurer

Montgomery. February 15.-(Special)- Wilbur Wright. the Ohio pioneer in the flying machine experiments, who is here to look for a site for a winter trials camp, thinks that it will be many years before flying machines are to be made use of in such a way as to injure present modes of travel and freight carrying on water and land. In the nature of the case, he thinks, they will be of use in special way, particularly as to messenger service and quick and safe movement where dispatch is of more importance that load. He hopes to get much good out of the %orlx here If he finds that a camp can be selected.
 MT. Wright met another Ohio man hero in the person of F. g. Ball, president of the commercial club, and they enjoyed a good old talk about what they know and who they knew in the state where so many good things originate. To the suggestion that the democrats are look ing to Ohio for a President next time, MT. Wright said that the people had been looking that way for some time. Ohio is a good state 10 get Presidents from and the rest of the country appears to be con- tent to let it continue the honor. MT. Wright spent some time with MT. Ball and a party at the club rooms before being taken off by Secretary Ball and President R. J. Chambers of the fair association to look over the fair grounds.
 That Bad Jury Law
 Will Graves and Addie Miles, under sen tence for life in Jefferson county for tho murder of Joe Miles, ihe husband of Adde, to whom they gave fatal dose of arsenic, according to the evidence, are seeking stay of sentence on the ground that the Jefferson county jury law, under which the trial jury was drawn, is un- constitutional. In the case of George Grain, the capital verdict was reversed be- cause the special jury act was declared invalid and now 1t Is claimed that the two defendants in this case were tried un- der the same act. AS a consequence the affirmation of the lower court by the su- preme court is sought to be set aside oh application for rehearing made by F. s. Address, attorney.
 Application is also made for rehearins in the case of Mobile Electric company vs. Charles l.. Sanges, in which yer dict for s75oo for injury from falling light pole was set aside. The majority of the court hold to the theory that an employe of the company was able to- anow of bad poles and the injury was n a sense a result of contributory nesh- gence. With this verdict Justices Sunp- son. Anderson and McsClellan disagreed.
