ANNISTON CONVICTS
IN NEW COUNTY JAIL
Recent Order of State Prison Inspec-
tor Became Effective Yesterday
Evening

Admission, July 30.-fSpecial) 1.-The order
of DR.. w. NJ. Oates. state mill and prison
inspector, calling for the removal of the
city prisoners from the city to the county
Jail became effective Wednesday even
ing, when the city convicts were incarce-
rated in the new county jail after being
given a bath and change of clothing fol-
lowing their days work.
Mayor Wikle has not yet completed ar
rangements with Sheriff Brooks for the
feeding and housing of the prisoners, and
he says that if a satisfactory arrange
ment can be made. it will be perpetuated
the new county Jail being amply large to
accommodate both the city and county
prisoners.
However the order OF DIR. Oates brings
about problem that has to do with other
things than the city prisoners. Should the
conviets and persons under charge be kept
in the county Jail, the warden would
have to remove his office there. At pres
ent, the warden looks after the fire alarm
system in connection with his other
duties, and should the city decide to per-
lnanently keep the prisoners in the coun-
ty Jail, it would probably necessitate
the removal of the fire alarm system to
the county Jail or else the placing of this
duty in the hands of another official.

FIFTH DISTRICT TAKING GREAT
INTEREST IN ROAD IMPROVEMENT

Prattville, July 0.-(SpeeiaL) )-Great in
terest is being aroused in good roads days
in the Fifth congressional district. Judge
c. e. Thomas, vice president of the Ala
bama Good roads association for the
Fifth congressional district has issued
the following address and is urging the
citizens In every county in the district
to take an active interest in good roads
days. Judge Thomas writes as follows:
The proposed plan to encourage all
good roads advocates to work the public
roads on August Il, Is and 16 meets with
my hearty approval
Governor O'Neal, who is much inter-
ested has been asked to issue a procla-
nation TO name these days good roads
days, and call on all patriotic good roads
citizens to lay aside their other duties
and spend these three days in building
good roads in their respective commun-
tiles
Inc citizens of every community should
AID the state and county in building pub
lie roads for they are chief benefciafies
after all, in having better roads. and in
the enhanced value of their farm lands
and other property. The state and county
already spend large sums every year in
educating our children in the common
schools, county high schools and nor
NAL schools; they keep UP the courts for
the preservation of law and. order, and
for the protection of our lives and prop
erty; they build our bridges and maintain

our public road system: then is it not
fair that our patriotic and enterprising
citizens should give some free aid to
the state and county along the line of
public improvement, especially when they
VIII be the chief beneficiaries? Just think
of what good road work can be accom-
plished if every citizen in each commun-
ity will quit his other work and put his
time and teams on the pubic roads for
three days in each year Swampy places
could be graveled and hills cut down
that have been eyesores for years: and
the citizens of the community would
hardly miss the three days time and
money spent
Il am calling on every community in
the Fifth Congressional district to Oh
serve good roads days on August il.

FERRIS PLAN TO END
STRIKE IS FAILURE
Operators Decline to Meet
Committee Coming as
Union Representative

Calumet, Mich, July S0.-The attempt
of Governor Ferris to end the copper
miners strike through a conference at
Lansing, failed today. The governor
plan was presented to both sides and
accepted by the union. but declined by
the operators, who, however, said they
were willing to meet committees, pro-
vided the men came as employees and not
as representatives of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. Such is the gist of
the answers mailed to the state capital
tonight
Gen p. L. Abbey, commander of the
states brigade of militia, carried the gov
ernor's proposition to the employers and
employees.
None of those who attended the confer
ences would discuss results, but it be-
came known that the operators declined
TO be represented at the proposed con-
ference whereas the union had officially
indorsed the plan.
Tonight, with the strike situation un-
changed. generally, there was apprehen-
sion in the community that possibilities
for peaceful settlement were decreas-
ing. Scores of surface employees returned
to work at the various mines today and
a renewal of the sluggings which charac-
terzed the beginning of the strike was
predicted.

Decatur, July 30.-(Speeial) 1.-The South
ern Express company today fled an an
swer to the injunction filed against them
delivering intoxicants to any person what
soever in the Decaturs. A motion was also
made to dissolve the injunction.
The answer to the injunction is quite an
exhaustive one, and among other things
denies that the Southern Express COM
pany has ever violated the state laws.
They say that they have delivered liquor
to parties only who intended 1t for private
use. The answer also says that they have
refused to deliver liquor to parties whom
the sheriff of the county had notified them
that the liquor was for Illegal purposes
The outcome of this partition for the DIS
solution of the injunction will be looked
forward to with much interest.
As yet the railroads have made no an
swer to the like injunctions against them.
