w, G., WEIGH.

Under the proper heading ap-
pears the announcement Of Hon.
w. G. Welch, as a candidate for
election to succeed himself as
Sheriff and Tax Collector at the
approaching primary election.
Sheriff Welch needs no intro
duction to the voters of Caldwell
parish at our hands. He has serv-
ed two terms as sheriff Of this
parish, and was chief deputy I'm
der his predecessor for more than
twelve years, hence he is emil
nently qualified to fill the Office
to which he aspires for re-elec
ton.
Mr.. WEIGH has made an envia-
BILE record as Taxeollector, which
doubtless can be equaled by any
taxcollector in the State. His
record as sheriff cannot be ques-
toned, and he has many times
demonstrated his ability to ap-
prehend criminals and ferret out
crimes.
Sheriff WEIGH is making the
campaign on his record as an Of

ALABAMA FAVORS
LOCAL OPTION PLAN
Death KneII Of State Wide Pro-
hibitiOn.
PARKS BILL IS ADOPTED.
House Passed Bill by Vote of SO to a.
and 1t Is Almost Certain That the
Senate Will Also Favor the Meas
ure.

By a vote of So to A, the Alabama
house Of representative passed the
Parks local option bill, after a debate
lasting five hours and after contin-
uous session of seven hours and half.
AS the senate is known to be over
whelmingly in favor of local option
bill, it is believed that the Parks bill
will be rushed through that body and
become law. This does not mean
that the state will be thrown open to
the sale of liquor Immediately, for the
Parks bill was so amended as to make
1t imperative until regulation meas
ures to accompany it are enacted.
The principal fight was on the mo-
ton of Speaker Almon to substitute
his dispensary bill for the Parks bill,
but the discussion, participated in by
local option, dispensary and prohibit
ton leaders, covered the whole field of
liquor regulation and absolute prohi.
bition. On a vote the motion to sub
stitute the Almon bill for the Parks
bill was lost by Sc to At. Then fol
lowed some parliamentary skirmishing
by the prohibitionists, with the adop-
ton of a minor amendment, the battle
finally ending with passing of the
Parks bill by the above vote.

$1O,OOO,OOO ON DEPOSIT.
Southern Claimants May Get Chance
at Big Fund.

The house has adopted an amend
ment to the codification bill, which, if
ratified by the senate and approved by
the president, will extend the provis
ions of the captured and abandoned
property act of March 70, 1868, and
permit claims to be brought for some
$10,O00,0O0 collected under that act,
which still remains in the federal
treasury.
The adoption of this amendment by
vote of 125 to So was a victory for
Representative Bartlett, of Georgia,
who INTRODUCED and urged it in a
strong speech.
Not only are the provisions of the
act of 1863, formerly limited in it's 3D.
erations to two years, made to apply
to suits which may hereafter be
brought in the court of claims, but the
former requirement that the claimant
must prove loyalty" is stricken.
Representative Bartlett, in his state
ment to the house, said that the pro.
ceeds from the sale of captured cot.
ten, amounting to S4695,O 900, and from
other property to the value of $5,OOO.-
900, converted into the treasury under
this act, remain on deposit. He ar
gued that this money should be dis
bursed to the original claimants or
their descendants.

GREAT WORK ON
CENTRAL OF GA.
Coast to Coast Link to Be
Made Of Road.
GREAT PLANS ARE PROPOSED.
Hartman System Has in Prospect
Gigantic Link Between the Atlantic
and Pacific-CentraI of Georgia I'M
portant Link.

The double-tracking of the Central
of Georgia railroad from Birmingham
to Savannah as the connecting link
in the gigantic Hartman railway sys,
TEN from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and the ultimate expenditure of thou.
sands of dollars on the Central of
| Georgia lines all over its system, is
announced. The work, so the official
announcement says, will be made dur
ing the ensuing five years.
The double-tracking of the Central
of Georgia from Birmingham to Sa,
vannah and the Atlantic coast will
come as a part of the stupendous
plans that the Hartman system has
inaugurated. 1t is announced by no
less a person than President Lovett,
the head of the allied Hartman roads,
that this work will be started in the
immediate future, and that it will be
all completed in the next five years.
According to the plans, the expendi-
ture for Improvements all over the
Hartman system will cost SIS, 100000.
The improvements on the Central of
Georgia will be included in this vast
budget
The Central of Georgia, which is a
part of the Hartman system, occupies
a distinct place, as this road is the
only outlet that the allied Hartman
interests have to the Atlantic sea-
board.

TARIFF BOARD FAVORED.
Democratic Members Opposed Bill
Passed by House.

By a strict party vote, all of the
democrats in opposition, the senate
committee on finance voted to report
favorably the bill passed by the house
to create permanent tariff board
Several important amendments were
adopted.
The opposition of the democrats on
the committee was based on the plea
that the executive should not be EN-.
powered to gather tariff information;
that this function belongs to congress,
and that If a commission is desired,
1t should be congressional body, sim.
ilar to the national monetary commits.
sion.
One of the most important changes
made by the committee requires that
the five members of the board shall
be confirmed by the senate. Under the
house bill, the executive would have
absolute control Of the personnel.
Under an amendment adopted, the
board will not be requierd to divulge
the names of informant or witnesses
furnishing information, but the pro
vision that information gathered must
be for confidential use was eliminated

UPRISING OF GREEKS.
Several Men Killed and Injured In
Battle in Utah.

An armed uprising of Greek coal
miners at Kenilworth, Carbon comfy
Utah, was suppressed, after four men
had been killed, one fatally wounded
and several others wounded by bull
let's.
The trouble began last Friday, when
the Greek miners complained that dis.
elimination was shown in the weigh
ing of coal in favor of Americans. A
proposal from the mine superintend-
ent that they appoint their own weigh
ers failed to give satisfaction.
The Greeks took to the foothills and
began a desultory fire on the Ameri-
cans who were going to work. In at.
tempting to dislodge the sharpshoot-
ers, Deputy Sheriff Thomas Jackson
was killed, and another deputy was
fatally wounded. When two of the
Greeks had been killed, one mortally
wounded and five others captured, the
rest took to fight.

ROBBER is ROBBED.
Man Who Stole Large Sum Himself
Victim of Thieves.

Even a thief isn't safe in Chicago
is the plea of Charles Willard, made
to the police when he confessed that
he held up Rector's restaurant a few
days ago and secured $4,000. Willard S
Joy in his possession was short-lived
however, for, as he was leaving the
cafe door, he was greeted by three
men, who, with revolver pressed
against his side, escorted him to an
alley and robbed the robber.
Willard, according to his confession
was one of three conspirators who
planned and executed the Rector hold,
up. He in turn was the victim of a
conspiracy devised by supposed
friend to whom he confided the plan
for robbing the cafe.
The story, incredible as it at first
seemed to the police, was corroborated
by them. Five hundred dollars of the
money was recovered, and William
Lotus, a saloonkeeper, has been re-
arrested and charged with being an
accessory to the robbery and with
having received stolen property

GRISCOM PUZZLED.
Disappearance of Miss Arnold Mystery
to Alleged Lover.

George S. Griscom, Jr., of Pittsburg
Pa, whose acquaintance and CORE
spondence with Miss Dorothy Arnold
brought his name into print in con
necton with the two months search
for her. arrived at New York from
Italy on the North German Lloyd
steamer Berlin.
"The case is as much of mystery
as ever to me-" said Griscom to re
porters, "but it is, may say frankly
part of my purpose in coming home tc
offer what assistance l can to the Ar
mold family. l haven't the slightest
theory regarding Miss Arnold's disap
pearance."
He did, however, scout the belief
which the missing girls father, Fran.
els w. Arnold, entertains that the girl
is dead.
He said emphatically when ques,
toned that he was not and never had
been, engaged to marry Miss Arnold.
He saw her first on November be,
