ACTIVE PURE FOOD
 CAMPAIGN BEGUN State Department and Gov ernor Confer With Fed
 eral Inspectors

Montgomery, August S.-(Special.) )-1n order that rules and regulations might be adopted for the enforcement of the pure food and drug laws of this state, and in order that the best results might be at tained two federal inspectors are in Montgomery at the request of Dr. Fl. W. Wiley of the chemical bureau of the United States, to assist this state in Its nearing campaign. The authorities who are here are Dr. Louis Marks, inspector in charge of the southern division of the United States food and drug service, with headquarters at Nashville, and pr. w. l. McGee of New Orleans. chief of the United States food and drug inspection laboratory.
 A conference between the visiting au- thorities, Commissioner R. F. Kolb of the state agricultural department, c. H. Bill kingsley of the pure food department of this state Dr. B. B. Ross. state chemist, and Gov. Emmet ONeal. has been sr- ranged for noon tomorrow. at which time the first steps in the campaign are ex- pected to be taken. The Montgomery ex else commission is likewise summoned to appear before the authorities.
 According to Captain Kolb, at whose instance the inspectors are here, the most stirring pure food campaign ever under taken in the south will be waged here. in full accord with the governmental forces at Washington. The campaign in this state will be especially novel in that one of it's objects will be the en- forcement of the provisions of the Smith whiskey bill in vogue in this state. which bill. in the opinion of the authorities, is calculated to give to Alabama even purer whiskey than Is required by the govern ment..
 The inspectors will be in Montgomery for the rest of this week, but will drop in on Alabama at various times during the campaign to lend their assistance. Throughout today the inspectors held ire quent conferences with the governor and with Captain kob.

Attorneys For Pratt and Sloss Com- panies Before the Court
 of Appeals

Montgomery August s.-(Special. )-With the avowed intentions of settling three moot questions which have arisen since it handed down an opinion of few weeks ago declaring unconstitutional that sec- ton of the code which sought to cay convcts wage of 4o cents per day rather than 75 cents per day, as required under a former act, the court of appeals of Ala bama is in extraordinary session. with indications Of remaining in session for a week or 10 days. The questions in eon- nection with the ruling are:
 whether the terms of the convicts. leased under the 40 cents law, are en- tirely vitiated; whether the terms, if nor entirely vitiated, are only partly wiped out. or whether the convict is entitled to his freedom at once. In connection with the last named question the attornys who are before the court want to know whether the convict lost his right for liberty by not raising the legal point on appeal al the time he was convicted.

 It is argued that this case bears out the Darwinian theory of the process oi elimination The practice of cutting the tails for fox terriers and their conse- quent inability to wag the caudal ap-- bondage has resulted in the loss of that member through lack of use.

MOORE TALKS OF
 OUTLYING BEATS
Says Voters Are Reading the Smith Bill and Finding Truth For
 Themselves

The local optionlsts are smelling the woods.' so to speak. this week and rous- ing meetings are being held nightly in the different precincts of the county. The meetings are said to be well attended and are marked by much enthusiasm.
 Last night -Jones G. Moore, Thomas J. Judge, Isadore Shapiro and pr. H. A. Elkourie went to Leeds and addressed a large gathering.
 Tonight local option rally will be held at Brookside and from reports of the off, ficers of the Brookside club, the meet ing promises to be a record-breaker. The speakers will be Jones G. Moore, R. D. Coffman, Isadore Shapiros Charles O'Neal, H. A. Elkourie and Ben Leader.
 Mir Moore, in speaking of the senti- ment in the outlying beats, said: "The people have found out that the features of of the Smith bill, which were held up to be pernicious. are not only free from alarming danger, but are reasonable and proper.
 We started out by promising to give the people the true facts. The Smith bill has been misinterpreted and the people told that its provisions were the very opposite to what they are.
 Tn some instances it was made to ap- pear that only 800 license was to be re- quired from hotels, when the fact is, that a hotel will have to pay the same license as a saloon, namely 5000, and be subject to practically the same regua- tions. Then again 1t has been suggested that hotels would be licensed in small hamlets Under the bill only three cities in the state can license hotels to sell liquor. namely Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile.
 ''We have had complete copies of the Smith bill distributed through the county and the people have found out the truth themselves. They believe as we do that it provides an adequate remedy for the blind tiger eyil.'

TELLING HOW TO
 SHIP EXPLOSIVES
New Railroad Rules Will Go Into General Effect On October
 This Year

As further step toward adding to the safety of railroad operations, the various railroads in Birmingham are calling to the attention of employees and shippers the revised rules for the transportation of inflammable articles and acids These are complementary to the rules of the interstate commerce commission, which will become effective October l. f91l, for the transportation of explosives The Pennsylvania Railroad company has had these rules printed and distributed, with instructions that every employe concerned must obtain a copy of them and be gov- erned accordingly.
 These regulations for the transporta- tion of dangerous articles have been for mulated by Col. B. w. Dunn, [. S. A., chief inspector of the bureau for the safe transportation of explosives for the American Railway association. They are based upon an act of Congress approv- ed May 30, 1908, and are designed to em- phasize the dual responsibility, in the interest of public safety, that rests upon the shipper and the carrier The par tcular purpose is that the shipper shall know the true characteristics of his shipments and familiarize himself with the requirements of the regulations In order that he may inform the carrier by use of prescribed certificates and labels The importance of the regulations may be realized from the fact that there are in this country more than 150 factories the combined product of which in the course of a year is over 300. COG. .0O0 pounds of explosives. In 1906 a single railroad transported over 91,000,000 pounds of OK. plosives and used for this purpose 19,OO cars.
 | Since the bureau referred to began fits operations, there has been very little trou. | ble from the transportation of explosives | in the United States. and it is believed
 that when the work of the bureau hal
 been fully developed. the danger iron this source will have been reduced to C minimum
 The thoroughness with which this cam
 paign for safety has been pursued ma,
 be indicated by the fact that special su l pervision is given not only to the trans
 portation of powder, dynamite and othe
 heavy explosives. but 1t is now provided
 that special care shall be pursued il

Only a slight rise in the temperature took place in Alabama, and the near at Birmingham was exactly the normal for this season of the year. The heat is more oppressive than it would or dinarily be, owing to the light winds, the very mild weather recently expe- rienced, and to the fact that the high readings continued till late in the day.
