BRYCE AND DEPUTIES TURN MRS.
 CASEY FROM SHERIFFS OFFICE

with the fact that in order to get posses
 sion he would have to take it by main force.
 After deputizing some ten or fifteen men he proceeded to the office and asked Mrs
 Casey and those with her to vacate She readily refused to do so until the arrival
 of her husband who is now in Montgom- cry for some purpose relative to the in- junction case. Whereupon she was as- sisted to the office door by Deputies Ira wis and Sparks, and was forced to remain out of the office. After the transaction at the office the sheriff. accompanied by
 a force of deputies. proceeded to the jail, and likewise took possession of everything with the exception of the keys to the
 main part of the jail, which they were
 unable to find.
 Everybody readily admits that Casey has no right to hang on, especially after Chancellor Simpsons decision dissolving | the injunction. And the fact that Bryce | was forced to eject Caseys wife from the
 office is a matter of much comment in the l town of Cullman.
 | It has become apparent in Cullman this
 morning that the matter is not settled | yet, and seems to have only gotten well
 started in the processes of law. It is | feared that it may result in something | even more serious than a mere law suit as the feeling on both sides of the ques- ton has recently become wrought up to
 certain extent

PREACHER SAYS
 CHURCH IS DAFPY

Knoxville, January 26.-The Rev. Henry Spencer Booth, who has resigned from the pastorate of the Centary Methodist Episcopal church of Morristown, today gave out an open letter addressed to Bishop William F. Anderson of Chatta- nooga, president of the Holston confer once, of which the Rev. MT. Booth is . member.
 In the letter he says he is cutting in earnest at the roots of the evils that are sapping the vitality of Christianity" and he begins on his own denomination.
 He affirms that there is 'too much watered stock in Methodism; that preach CTS and other officials pad statistics as to the number of conversions, etc., to make . fine showing in reports and to maintain prestige; that the church had gone daffy on organization and machinery" and thus life out of what real religion we have had" ~
 After expressing cordial personal esteem for Bishop Anderson, the letter, which is lengthy, concludes:
 'I am after the system I call on Methodist preachers everywhere who are weary of acting as puppets in the tolls of great ecclesiastical machine to unite in opposing the abuse and espionage to which they are constantly subjected and to protest ieorously and forcibly against the oligarchy.'.
 The Rev. MT. Booth declares he will carry his campaign into every state in the union.

Cullman, January 26.-(Special)- )-"By whom will you have your legal papers served, by a lady sheriff or a gentleman sheriff?"
 This is the situation that the fight for the sheriff's office in Cullman county has resolved itself into since the decision handed down by Chancellor William H. Simpson at Decatur yesterday, dissolv- ing the injunction secured by former Sheriff A. J. Casey, prohibiting Sheriff-eect Bryce, from taking charge of the sheriff's office on January 16, as pre- scribed by law.
 The question is being asked because of the fact that Mrs. Casey refused to turn over either keys to the sheriff's office or to the jail. A number of the friends of Mr. Bryce, in order to hold possession of the sheriffs office, spent the night there Tuesday night as did Mrs. Casey, who was later joined by another lady or two, who likewise spent the night in the off, | fee. This morning Cullman awoke to the realization that she possessed more sfer- ifs than possibly any other county in the state.
 Later in the morning the matter re- solved itself into a more serious situa- tion. MT. Bryce was brought face to face

 Kinsman Is Unique

Anniston, January 26.-(Special.) 1.-The Pearce-Kennedy .feud case entered upon the third day of it's hearing this morn ing, and the Calhoun county courthouse was again thronged with curious spec tators. The day was without unusual features up to noon.

His evidence, crepancies, particularly with reference to his efforts to tear down the obstruc- tion in the road, said to have been erect ed by the Kennedys to prevent the pas sage of Pearces sawmill caravan. He was subjected to a rigid cross-examina- tion. but stood fire very well in all es- Gentials, 1t is believed.
 Cross Pearce, the son of the principal in the alleged conspiracy, who Is said to have killed young Sarge Kennedy was also placed on the stand this morning His testimony was virtually the same as that offered by his father.
 Just before noon Esquire Martin was placed on the stand by the defense. He testified that Shelt Kennedy had. come to his home, exhibited pistol cartridges and stated that as he could not settle his differences with Pearce by law he was going to fix him with those cart ridges. He said that he later informed Pearce, his intimate friend, of this, but under cross-examination he could not re- call when or where 1t was that he i'm parted this information.

 Seldom has there developed in criminal history a case with as many human in terest features. feature even more re- markable than these, however, was de- ,veoped Wednesday when 1t became known that Tom and Walter Kennedy, son and brother of the aged man. and his daugh- ter, are aiding the state in the effort to convict the accused, sitting constant ly beside the state solicitor. Aiding the state also is the wife of William K. Ken nedy, who is making fight in chancery court for the recovery of her baby boy, William K Kennedy, Jr., who is held in jail with his aged father

 SHOALS COMMITTEE

Florence, January Especial )-Mayor c. W. Ashcroft yesterday stopped his eff forts to secure committee of 800 to at tend Congress in February in furtherance of the Muscle Shoals water power devel- opment task which has been claiming much of his time since the Muscle Shoals banquet. Resolutions were passed at that time instructing the mayor to name 8 committee representative of the entire Tennessee valley, and the committee was almost completed. The mayor was yester- day notified from Washington that the delay of the army engineers detailed on the Muscle Shoals to make their report to the rivers and harbors committee would defer action on the matter, and it will probably not be taken up until December
 While this is disappointment to the people of this section the leaders will not abate their efforts for the final adoption of the bill to harness the great Muscle Shoals water power.
