of the company showing assets over lia-

subject to some reduction. The receivers

Blind Tigers Are Said to Be
Flourishing-Other Evils
Attracting Attention

Dothan, July 15.-(Special)-In answer
mass melting of prominent citizens, rep
resenting the different churches in the
city, was held at the First Presbyterian
church last night to discuss the moral
situation in Dothan and devise some plan
by which existing conditions could be
remedied. There was a large crowd pres
ent and great interest in the matter was
in evidence.
The chief subjects under consideration
We're the blind tigers and houses of i'll
repute. 1t is said that there are now
about 40 blind tigers doing business in
Dothan. Some time ago Mayor Baker
and Judge Pearce of the circuit court
made a determined effort to stop the
sale of whisky in Dothan This was
Immediately after the county voted dry.
A large number of convictions We're se-
cured and hard labor sentences imposed.
Petitions for pardon were gotten up
signed. it Is said. by leading citizens
and prohibitionists, with the result that
Governor O'Neal has pardoned or pa
rolled all but one or two of those con-
victed. When this was done fines were
increased and labor sentences left off
with the result that tigers have multi
piled greatly in the land
Now a new fight is to be made on them
and an effort made to get people to re-
fuse to sign parole petitions. Nothing
definite was done at the meeting but cit
liens will attend the meeting of the city
council Monday night at which time it
is thought cooperative action will be
secured which will result in a general
cleaning up.

COMPANY WILL NOT
DISPOSE OF PLANT
Ieake Denies That Alabama Company
Is Contemplating Selling an
Operation

A denial couched in the very strongest
terms was given yesterday by W. H.
Lcake, vice president of the Alabama
company to the report that the company
was negotiating for the sale of one OF
Its operations. 1t was rumored here that
one of the plants would be sold for a sum
nearly reaching s1.225,Ooo which would en-
able the company TO get out of PAD
oneration and would also help financial
matters to some extent Mr.. Leake was
asked for a statement on the proposition
and said: 49,,
.'There is absolutely no truth In the
renort. The Alabama company Is not con-
sidering such a deal We have never
negotiated with any person, firm OF cor
poration on such trade and nave no
intentions of so doing. Any well informed
person would know that the proposition
ON it's face is absolutely without founda-
fion and utterly unreasonable. The op-
erations of this company are getting along
fairly well and we see no reason Tor ois-
posing of any of the properties that we
have. Certainly no piecemeal trace Will
be undertaken or even considered

Behind Effort to Discredit
His Administration

Montgomery. July 15.-(SpecialD- D-Citi-

to know that Governor ONeal had or
dered Robert C. Brickell. attorney gem
eral, to enter impeachment proceedings
against A. l.. Hasty, judge of probate
and ex officio presiding officer of the
county court of Marengo. according to
w. F. Herbert of Linden who conferred
with Governor ONeal today about pri-
vate business.
Mr. Herbert said he did not know what
action Judge Hasty would take to de-
fend his conduct. The charges against
him will be that he was negligent, care
less and did not conduct his Office prop
erly. Judge Hasty's friends declare that
political opponents have been instrument
tai in bringing the charges and that the
men whom he defeated for the democrat
ic nomination in the last primary have
done all in their power to make his path
way thorny one.
peculiar feature of the case is that
the accounts of Judge Hasty as probate
Judge were found to be correct and in
good conditions, while many errors and
discrepancies in his records as judge of
the county court were reported by j..

firms endorsement of a draft for S1125
made for payroll purposes and which
draft was dishonored by the drawees and
to the company for payroll purposes the

the amount is made against the receivers
