 Well Known Men Involved
 The saloon men indicted for reflling bottles and those at Lewisburg are the men against whom the federal revenue agents declared war some weeks ago at the instance of w. C. Agee, chairman of the excise commission. The refllng of bottles is charged against some of. the best known bar room conductors in Bir- mingham, while the indictment of Sulli- van and Moore of Palos is the most re- cent act in drama that has been play ing about that place for weeks with the federal authorities, the sheriff and Mir Agee as the principal actors.
 Inasmuch as the excise commissioners are inclined to cancel licenses held by the men convicted by the federal court, more than passing interest is manifested in the developments in the local cases.
 The excise commissioners say that the cases will be watched carefully and summary punishment will be dealt to those found guilty.
 The grand jury did not get to work yesterday until after ? o'clock and for that reason did not hear any witnesses from Lewisburg and other sections. It is stated that the dockets for An niston and Florence were taken up and true bills voted upon by the jurymen.
