IN TWO STATES

Columbus. Ca, February 1.-(Special)-
The Georgia and Alabama Industrial In
dex says in Its regular weekly issue:
"Thirty-three new corporations are re-
ported in the two states for the week
ending today. These enterprises begin
life with a capitalization of $685., 800, and
are substantial addition to the bus
mess interests of Georgia and Alabama.
They represent much activity along man
ufacturing and mercantile lines and mir
ror the general business development of
the two states.
1.-The week saw the investment of about
$4,000 more South Carolina capital in
southwest Georgia farms, and the I'M
reported transactions would doubtless
swell the total considerably. Investments
were made in SUMTER Early and Ran
dolph counties. For some time steady
stream Of South Carolina capital has
been pouring into that section, the rich
farm lands there proving quite mag
net.
"A street railway company is applying
for franchise at Albany. Ga. A S125.000
boiler and engine works is to be removed
from Corinth, Miss, to Mobile, Ala. A
paving plant is to be erected at Bir-
mlngnam, Ald, Dy a new company winch
will bid actively on street paving in south
ern cities. At Columbus. Ca, COM
pany was Incorporated to manufacture
trays, dishes and other similar paper
products, devoting itself exclusively to
this line of manufacture.
"Cordele, Ca. Is inviting proposals for
building an addition to high school
building. Uniontown, Ala, invites bids
for installing a sewerage system. Con-
spicuous in the long list of new resi-
dences is 100000 home to be erected at
Savannah, Ga. A company Is applying
for charter to build a railroad from
Bakely. Ca, to Jakin, Ga. A Macon,
Ga. company received the contract to
build 125 miles of railway in Florida.
"A new bank reported for Athens, Ga,
with 100000 capital stock. Warrior, Ala,
Is also to have a new bank. All three
banks at McDonough, Ga, will probably
increase their capital stock. A board of
trade was organized at Sylvester. Ga. An

Gadsden, February 1.-(Special)- 1.-The
Etowah Trust and Savings bank opened
its doors for business this morning and
the opening day was marked by a vol
ume of business that is record-breaker
in this line for a city the size of Gads-
den. Figures, of course, are not avail
able. but the activity Aabout the bank
denoted that business was being carried
on every minute of the day. This is a
$2000o institution and will be a great
help in providing the needed finances in
the future development of the city.
Word was received here today to the
effect that Henry Slower and Desca Will
son, two former residents of Gunters-
vile, who left their homes some months
ago together, had been found on the
banks of the Tennessee river some mileg
from that city living in a cave in til,
mountains like primitive savages. The
man has a wife and family and the
woman has been married but was sep
arted from her husband. They have been
arrested by the sheriff of Marshall coun-
ty and are now in the county jail at
Guntersville.
In the police court at Alabama City
yesterday seven men plead guilty to vio-
lations of the prohibition laws and were
fined by the mayor. 1t is said that these
violations around the steel plant are be-
coming of daily occurrence and it is ex-
pected that the grand jury that will soon
meet will go to the bottom of things and
return number of indictments. Since
the meeting of the legislature and the
consequent talk of repeating the prohibit
ton laws the tiger operators are getting
more bold and the officers are finding
them much harder to control.

BILL SATISFACTORY
People of Cullman Like the
Changed Measure
THE COUNTY AS A UNIT
of Cullman County
Believe That They VIII Win In
Any Local Option Election So
They Are Satisfied
THE COUNTY AS A UNIT

Cullman, February 1.-(Special.) Since
the modification of the new administra-
ton liquor bill as has been reported in
the daily papers, the people of Cullman,
especially the prohibitionists, have be-
come more reconciled to the measure The
bill In it's new dress might be termed as
especially pleasing to the prohibitionists
OF this county. That some legislation on
the liquor question In a general way
would be enacted Is a foregone conclu-
sion, and so long as some measure deal
ing with this important matter was pre-
destined to be pulled off. the Smith bill
is considered just the thing by which
the prohibitionists hope to hold their
present ground.
The fact that should the bill become a
law it provides, first, that majority OF
the qualified voters OF counties of less
than $4,000 population must sign a petit
ton to the probate judge calling for an
election to be held so that the people
NAV saw as to whether whisky shall be
sold or not. The fact that 1t fixes the
county as the unit is another feature
pleasing to those who stand for prohibi-
ton. The prohis claim that the liquor
element can never be successful In get
ting the required number of signers TO
get the election held, and in case they
should they hope to be able to de1eaS
their game at the polls.
The bill will provide that the question
will be voted on in counties of Cullman
size in three phases, namely prohibition
legalized open saloons or dispensary'
1t is not believed that the people would
ever consent for an open saloon again II
they are allowed to determine for them
selves. but 1t is considered that there Is
a possibility that dspensary might be
established through the suffrage or the
people, To say the least. the Cullmar
county people will unquestionably nave
chance of signing a petition calling FOL
an election If the Smith local option Dill
becomes a law.

$50 Poll Taxes
The poll tax books closed last night
with a fairly good average of receipts
issued. In the Bessemer beat about
$50 receipts were issued, which, with
the payments in the courthouse at Bir-
mingham, and those exempt by law,
will give Bessemer voting strength of
nearly 1000.
New County Defeated
The news of the defeat of the new
county movement was received in Bes-
semer with much regret. The promis-
ing report from Montgomery had raised
hopes that the measure would carry,
and plans were being made for an ag-
gressive campaign should the measure
have been submitted to the people OF
the state for cir decision
AS to whether any other steps will
be taken could not be learned though
it was intimated that a new bill would
be introduced in the senate.
