large number of citizens.
The farmers of this county state that
they have never seen brighter prospects
for a bumper crop of corn and cotton
at this season than they have the prom

EXUM PLEASED AT
RECENT ARREST

Qualification was expressed by Presi-
dent c. Exum of the city commission
yesterday over the arrest of one man
on the charge of dynamiting a street
car. He stated that he believed the re-
ward offered by the city had greatly
increased the likelihood of would-be dyna-
miters being caught.
Mr.. Exum said that while he knew
nothing about either the arrested man s
guilt or innocence, at the same time it
showed that no man could dynamite a
street car no matter how many labor SYM
pathizers there might be in the city, with
out making himself liable to very heavy
sentence and probably death on the gal
lows, because the law-abiding citizens
were determined that law and order
should prevail, no matter with which
side they sympathized.

INDUSTRIAL PARADE

Decatur, July 5.-(special)-The lights
on the New Decatur white way were
turned on last night for the first time,
the white way having been just COM
pleted. The white way extends for sew
eral blocks on Second avenue.
Decatur has had a white way for sew
eral months past. The Decatur white
way and the New Decatur white way
could be connected by the filling in of a
few blocks. If this was done 1t would
make one of the finest in the state.
In speaking of the Fourth of July in
dustrial parade here yesterday, J. L.
Childs, a travelling salesman of New
FORK, said: 1.-THE Decatdrs did them
selves proud on this occasion. The pa
rade would have been a credit to city
of 10000 What interested me more than
anything else, If possible, was the float
from the Wilder Plantation, owned by
Mr. and Mrs. w. b. Edmundson. This
float contained two of the finest Berk-
shire hogs ever seen in this part of the
country. The display of the Hit Lum
ber company was also very fine. The
decorations would compare with the best
The Berkshire hogs spoken of are regis
tered and are worth something like $50
each. Mr.. and Mrs. Edmundson have
demonstrated that there is money to be
made in raising hogs in north Alabama.
The Hit Lumber company had four
wagons with 12 mules each and one wagon
with 16 and one wagon with IL horses.
Each wagon contained a large saw log,
the largest log containing 2107 feet and
the smallest one contained 1900 feet. 1t
is estimated that the mules, horses,
wagons and saw logs in the parade were
worth fully $4,000, if not more.
In the parade also were many exquisite
floats and handsomely decorated buggies
and automobiles.

effrontery he stated that he was respon-
sible for the Introduction in the House of
Representatives of the resolution calling
for the investigation OF the United States
Steel Corporation, and in this he is cor
roborated by another witness who fol-
lowed him, thereby in one full fell swoop
plucking from the gaudy plumage of Rep
resentatfve Stanley. who claims sole
credit and responsibility for all the fame
he annexed from the doings of the Stan
ley committee, even down to the concep-
tion of It,
More than this, he presumed to imper-
senate A. Mitchell Palmer. If the general
public could know A. Mitchell, the enor-
nifty of this crime might be conceived.
Representative Palmer is one of the ablest
members of the House; there is no doubt
about that, but at one and the same
time, he Is more dignified than the whole
of the supreme court put together. Mr.
Palmers ponderous dignity has been
subject of much comment in Washington,
and to have a base trickster to imper-
senate him is indeed a bitter pill.

Is as easy as taking candy from a baby"
declared Lamar, and from the number
introduced it would almost appear that
Mr.. Lamar in this instance shot nearer
the truth than is his usual habit
In speaking of the Union Pacific dis
solution plans, Lamar Sneeflngly said
that 1.-THE railroads sent the ablest law
yers in the country to tackle this prob
lem and the department of justice sent
the office boy" The department of JUS
tice sent G. Harold Todd, he, was re-
minded by Senator Overman. "You and
that boob don't know the first thing about
the Hartman merger said Lamar
The worst feature of Lamar's transac-
tion Is that there is no way to- reach
him. There is no definite punishment for
this sort of offense. No one knows this
better than Lamar himself, and for this
reason he rather enjoys the notoriety he
has gained and the discomfort he has
brought upon others
1t is pretty safe to say that Congress
will take steps to protect its members
and the general public from such charac-
ters in the future. Certainly Lamar has
contributed the most interesting chapter
of the investigation of the American
lobby so far written into the Record.

PELHAM ENDORSES
NEW COURT RULES.
Their Enforcement Will
Work No Revolutionary
Changes in His Opinion

Judge John Pelham, associate Justice
of the court of appeals, while in Bir-
mingham yesterday, heartily indorsed the
action of the supreme court in adopting
its new rules of procedure.
''The benefits to accrue" he said, from
the fair and just application of one of
these rules evidently referring to rule
45, which has been so heartily condemned
by two Alabama lawyers, will be read
lily seen and appreciated by the think
ing people, who keep up with such mat
ters, as well as by members of the legal
profession.
"The enforcement of these rules will
not in my opinion be found to work any
revolutionary changes. OF course, the
good results to be obtained from their
adoption depends upon a wise applica-
tion and enforcement of them"
Judge Pelham, as is remembered, was
chairman of the committee named by
Governor ONeal to prepare a bill for
presentation in the then thought certain
extraordinary session of the legislature
providing for the changes in court proce-
dure of the state. He aided, it is un-
derstood, in drawing up the rules recently
enacted by the supreme court.
