Anniston, February 6.-(SpeciaL) L)-No little interest has been manifested here in the marked increase in population shown by Jacksonville, former seat of Calhoun county and one of the oldest towns in Alabama, which has been given 2231 per- sons under the census report just issued, almost twice as many as the town had ten years ago when the report gave that place 1176.

 Jacksonville has developed into an im- Tortant manufacturing city The place has two of the largest and most modern ly constructed cotton mills in the state, an oil mill lumber plants and other di- versified industries. George P. Ide has been the chief developer of the city in- dustrially, equally important work in de- .veloping real estate having been done by former State Senator l.. w, Grant. Other leaders have been c. w. Daugette, Mayor II. l..

 I'll Tr0vatOre" With Instrumental Music

Tuesday afternoon a rare treat is in store for all the people of Birmingham and surrounding towns. To the music lovers, and artists, to the theatre goers and the devout church members, all may see the picture shown today and feel that they have gained something.
 A mammoth production of that fla nous opera, Verdrs I'll Trovatore" in colors, with music specially adapted to the picture portrayal This film is one of the most expensive produced since the introduction of the motion picture, six years ago. The principal characters are represented by members of a famous Italian opera company: Signor Alberto Vestri takes the part of Manrico; Signor Archille Vitti. the part of Count de Luna, Signorina Gem ma Farima the part of Azucena, and Signorina Francesca Bertini the part of the beautiful Leonora
 The story of this fayorite opera Is too well known to need repeating, but a few words concerning the music ac- companying the picture will be inter esting reading. Much has been writ. ten regarding the adaptation of music to the proper interpretation of motion pictures. All agree that the intelligent selection of music adds much to the at

Interest in Indian Graves

Much interest has been manifested in the Indian graves which were ploughed mp on the farm of T. c, Slaughter, south of this city, last week by c. P. Reaves, tenant on the farm. Many persons have viewed the skeletons since they were dug up by the farmer.
 This section was formerly a rather densely populated Indian village, and in the Shinbone valley and other places south of here there are several of the cid mounds still in existence. Last year ,lie students from the science department of the Alabama Presbyterian college made an exploring trip to the old grave yards and secured some exceptionally in teresting and rare exhibits for the college Laboratory. sss -x .er tass-f.
 In the latest find, one of the graves ploughed up contained bones of immense size, considered to be the remains of a giant, probably one of the old Indian chieftains This find, together wifh oth- CTS of similar nature two years ago, has strengthened the belief that the place was used as burying ground by tho aborigines, large amount of pottery. earthen vessels, petrified corn cobs and other curiosities being unearthed with the bones.

SOME MONTGOMERY GOSSIP
BY CLYDE w. ENNIS

In anticipation of the most interesting days in the history of the present legis- lature number of officers and citizens left yesterday for Montgomery and this morning added numbers will go.
 The Interest locally in the Parks local option measure, which has the indorse- n ent and power of the administration behind it. and the other important meas uressto be acted upon, has generated the highest interest yet directed to the legis sature.
 Yesterday President Hugh Morrow of . the senate headed the vanguard and with him went Representative J. A. Eas- .,s; ;sJoness O.. Moore, John w. Altman and quite a list of others. This morning . Representative Walker Percy, admittedly ene of the strongest men in the general assembly, will leave. In addition Repre- sentatives Motion and Judge Barnard will leave to take up for another week treir labors at Montgomery.
 The fact that little work has been per formed in the past four weeks, and that the coming few days are expected to- bc productive of much of genuine interest, accounts no little for the delegations that are to leave this morning.
 It is probable that the train this morn ing will carry the largest number yet attending the legislature from Birming- ham.
 Tn addition to the local crowd today there will be Senators Norman, tiodbold, PIowman, and Representatives Rylance, Mulky, Walden and McGowen from Bir- r,ingham. They have been here looking into the local charitable institutions that are asking for state aid during the pres ent session.

RED BAY IS A
 PROSPEROUS TOWN

Red Bay, February e.-(Special) )-The branch of the Illinois Central railroad that connects Corinth, Miss with Haley vile, 4S miles from the former and 37 miles from the latter. Only four years ago a postoffice and one store were all the business enterprises that existed here. Now the town has population of nearly 1000 people. There are about 20 business houses furnishing the trade, some of which are two-story concrete and brick buildings, a splendid two-story hotel, a handsome church, large school building in northern Alabama. The site is ideal, nearly level, splendid drainage and excel lent water. This is the central railroad station on the new Illinois Central. The soil of this section is adapted to farm ing and Is being greatly improved. The lumber trade is good. Timber for miles around is being shipped from this point. There is dinky railroad extending from here into the Bear creek bottom, and immense quantities of gum, white oak, cypress and poplar logs are shipped by tut' w 2hiiiiii6 SoAhpohS' iHC bank of Red Bay is doing good busi- ness, already having established branch bank at Hackleburg. There are two rural mail routes that head from this office and another soon to be established This is an excellent health resort, being in sight of the famous Freedom hills, that extend to the northward. The recent establish ment of a concrete factory at this place will give employment to a number of workingmen. There is considerable com ment to the effect that there will be an- other railroad built from here to Deca- tur by the way of Russellville at an early date
 While bird hunting on the plantation of w. D. Williamson today w. R. Johnson was accidently shot by w. c. Funderburk The shot struck him in the eye and mouth. However, it is believed that the injuries will not prove fatal. MT. John- son, being an old Confederate soldier, had become wearied and sat down to rest while the others chased the birds. For getting or thinking that he was in some other direction, Funderburk fired shot at bird going toward Mr. Johnson, thereupon striking him with two shot. Dr. Collum, the attending physician re- moved the shot and reports that the in- juries may not prove fatal.
