County Court Refuses Eagle Point
Election.

The county court has signed an
order refusing the petition of Eagle
Point dry" residents for a special
local option election November to
vote the wet and dry issue.
The refusal was made upon tech
nical grounds that the petition was
not in legal form, did not state the
city boundaries, and did not state
that signers were residents of the city
Of Eagle Point, instead of the pre-
cinct.
1t is now up to the "drys" to man
damus the court, if the election is de-
sired.

Shorter Road Between Medford and
ROseburg.

Roseburg, Oct. 20.-Planning the
shortening of the wagon road be-
tween Roseburg and Medford from
% to 40 miles, Supervisor S. C. Bar
trum is suggesting to the bureau at
Washington a route up the South
Umpqua and Elk creek to the Trail
creek divide. He asks that survey
of the route be made. A large part
of the road would be in the national
forest. Petitions from south Doug
las county will probably be circulated
this winter. This cutoff will be of
greatest Importance to tomobolists,
as miles of bad road will be cut out
between here and Grants Pass, and
only one divide will have to be
crossed instead of two, as at present.

TO TONE DOWN DRY |
LAW AT ANN|STON| |
Likely Mallory Ordinance,
Recently introduced, Will
Be Amended

Anniston, June 2o.-(Special)-I has de-
veloped that as a result of the committee
meeting of the Anniston city council
Thursday evening the Mallory ordinance
for the purpose of strengthening the cru
SADIE against blind tigers in Admission by
making the possession OF over one gallon
of Intoxicating liquor prima facie evidence
of guilt or intention to sell and the pos
session of liquor in any quantity in
place not used exclusively as a residence
will be amended.
In discussing the measure Thursday
night Alderman Mallory said that he did
not believe that there was a chance for
the bill to pass AM become an ordinance,
and that he would not make a further
fight for its passage He said, however,
that the ordinance in question, copied
from the Talladega code, will be gone over
by committee and amended in such a
way as to enable It's passage.
Mr. Mallory gives as his reason for
pressing this measure a vulnerable point
found in the citys prohibition laws recent
ly by Judge Merrill of the circuit court,
who acquitted a woman who had been
arrested following raid in her home and
the capture of large quantity of liquor
and beer. Judge Merrill held that the
search and seizure law could not be en-
forced for the reason that it did lot
specify the quantity of liquor necessary
to subject one to prosecution for law vo-
lation

LIQUOR SHIPPED TO
ANNISTON IN TRUNK
Negro Arrested Following Seizure of
Liquor Shipped From Birming-
ham Friday

Admission, June 20-(Special )-Prosecu-
tion for violation Of the intrastate anti
shipping law is likely to follow the con-
fiscation of trunk full of blind tiger
liqpor consigned to Albert Bell, a negro,
from Birmingham. The liquor was cap
tured Friday morning as a result of the
clever detective work of Officer Pruitt
of the Admission police force. whose keen
sense of smell gave him the clew.
Officer Pruitt was at the station when
the liquor came in by express One OF
the bottles was broken when the trunk
was taken from the express car and the
officer smelt whisky. He immediately
changed to citizens clothes and followed
the wagon on which the trunk was
loaded.

DEFECTIVE RAIL
CAUSE OF WRECK
Seventeen Cars of Ore Piled
Up-Traffic Delayed
on A. G.. S.

broken rail on the Alabama Great
Southern at Collinsville caused the de-
railment of a freight train yesterday
morning at 5:25 o'clock. pitching Il cars
loaded with iron ore into the ditch. Bob
Appleton, a brakeman, sustained a
broken leg.
The derailment is perhaps the most
serious that has occurred in local rail-
road circles for some time by reason of
the absolute certainty that it was
caused by a defective rail and also
from the fact that the limited train,
northbound was due there about two
hours after the freight hit the rail.
1t was given out that the II cars were
piled one upon the other and completely
demolished in some instances. The ne
gto brakeman Appleton was in the
center of the train and was trown. it
is said, resulting in his leg being
broken.
Traffic was tied up for 10 hours. The
fast trains were detoured to Admission
thence to Rome, and thence to Chat
tanooga over the Southern. The south
bound fast train was detoured south
over the same route. No. 6 from Bir-
mingham, the accommodation. and No.
from Chattanooga met at the wreck
and the passengers were transferred
from one train to the other, where
upon the trains backed to their start
ing point
Chief Engineer Curtis Dougherty of
the Queen and Crescent happened TO
be in his private car on train No. and
remained at the wreck during the day.
Two wrecking crews, one from Bir-
mingham and one from Chattanooga.
were dispatched to the scene with
workmen and apparatus and after 10
hours of hard work the main line was
cleared. The debris from the wreck
will not be removed until today about
noon.
The most unusual feature of the
wreck with It's serious results was a
statement accredited to Engineer Stacey
Nichosan that he was able to see the
broken rail several car lengths ahead
of his train. 1t was understood that
several cars In the train, including the
giant locomotive, passed over the de-
fective rail before the final crash came
which turned the train into the ditch
The wreck will be thoroughly investi-
gated. The Alabama Great Southern of =
ficials intend to initiate an inquiry at
once.

an alarm, fire gained such headway in
North Birmingham yesterday afternoon
about 1 o'clock that three residences

residence of w. f. Thrice, 2513 Twenty
first street. and the house of j. IL.
Hoxie, 2515 Twenty first avenue. Be-
fore the firemen could gain control of
the flames these two residences and
contents were also destroyed.
Five fire companies responded to the
alarm. Nos. /. 8, 8, II and 13. Fire
Chief Bennett was in charge of the
fire fighters and he attributes the large
damage to the fact that the fire had
gained too much headway when the

Lands in the prairie section are
found to be especially adapted to grow

fields in Hale county is a plot of 120
acres of level bottom land planted in
alfalfa on Col W. c. Tunstall'S farm,
seven miles west of Greensboro. From
the first cutting of "a acres the yield
was 1905 pounds. There will be three
to four more cuttings

comparatively small. For the one cut

used one mower half a day, two wagons
with five hands hauled half day The
total cost of cutting, hauling and stor-
ing in barn amounted to s12. Selling

c. 0. D. PARCEL POST
EFFECTIVE JULY |
Postmaster Aldrich Sets Out
Details of New Branch
of Service

Rules governing the c. o. l.. parcel
post service have been received here. and
yesterday Postmaster r. II. Aldrich gave
out an official statement setting out the
details of the new feature of the service.
Collections will be made up to 500 for
the service Receipts under official rules
will be given and in every way patrons
will be carefully protected.
The statement of Mr.. Aldrieh follows
"on July the c. O. ID. feature of the
parcel post goes into effect. The govern
ment undertakes to collect c. o. ID. up to,
but not exceeding 500 and insures against
total loss up to $50. This Insurance at
taches to c. O. d. packages without adj
ditional expense other than the c. O. d,
charge. c. o. u. packages are handled
only by money order offices, which are
listed in the regular parcel post guide, IL
a parcel happens to be sent to a place
not a money order office it will be re-
turned to the sender upon payment of the
proper return postage. The money order
fee must be paid by the sender.
THE method of handling is the same
as that Of an ordinary parcel post pack
age, the only difference being that a c.
o. d. tag is attached. These tags cost
10 cents each, payable in parcel post
stamps, and show the amount due the
sender. the money order fee necessary to
make the remittance to the sender, and
the total amount to be collected. The
tag must show plainly the whole amount
when a package is delivered the post
master will take a receipt from the ad-
the package the delivery of the package
is not affected by the loss of the tag.
However, the department will not be
responsible for errors or misunderstand-
ings. When the amount due is collected
at the office of delivery the postmaster
will buy money order, stamp it with
the c. o. d. stamp, and mail it to the
sender along with the receipted tag. The
money order really acts as a return re-
ceipt.
Rural mail carriers may accept c.
Q. ID. packages, but they must take them
to the postoffice and mail them from
there. The regulations covering regis
tered mail also apply to parcel post C. o.
D. matter.
For the present no c. o. d. packages
will be accepted for delivery to the Phil
ippine island or the canal zone
"The addressee will not be permitted
to examine the contents of a c. O. ..
parcel until it has been receipted for and
all charges paid.
"These packages may be forwarded
from one office to another, but they must
have duplicate receipts attached"
