 QUICKLY DETECTED
AnnistOn Banks Lose Nothing Trough Operations of One w.
 ID. Brown

Anniston. April s.-(special) James Keith, Jr., active vice president of the Anniston-C City National bank, detected the alleged frauds of one W. F. Brown, the clever crook who has flimflammed Bir- mingham merchants out of several hun dred dollars, as soon as his checks were presented to the local bank for payment. He promptly notified Birmingham banks of the worthlessnoss of the checks, and the local bank lost nothing.
 The checks were the most formal look ing slips, bearing the name of the At- lantic Coast Railway and Construction company. They were signed by w. B. Hopkins and countersigned by W. E. Brown, Mir Keith says, and had every appearance of being genuine.
 Nothing Is known here of Brown or the construction company. but the local officers have been put on notice and they will do all in their power to aid the of ficers of Jefferson county in preventing further losses to Birmingham merchants who cashed the fraudulent checks.

OFFICIAL COUNT IN CALHOUN FRIDAY Not Believed Canvass Will Alter Race in County to
 Any Extent

Anniston, April 9.-(Special. 1.-The of- fcial count of last Mondays primary cleo ton will be held at the courthouse here Friday afternoon, according to informa- tion given out Thursday by W. o. Ward, county chairman of the democratic execu- tive committee.
 It is not thought that the official can- vass will alter the result in this county to any appreciable extent. although the race between B. B. Conner and Charles Henderson is very close. It is said that there is no likelihood of another race for the legislature, as Judge D. c. Blackwell and G. c. Williams are conceded to have these places cinched.
 The prohibitionists won the Senate and both seats of the lower House in Cal houn. They also placed their man in the probate judges office, and have one of their representatives running off the race for sheriff, although this issue is not being strongly drawn in the last named race.
 Tried and convicted on charge of having murdered his own father, Baylee Miller, a negro boy, was given a sem tence of only 10 years in the penitentiary by Jury III the clty court WeuneSudy. It was shown that there were evtenuating circumstances to the crime.
 The teachers of Anniston, headed by Superintendent D. R. Murphey, attended the meeting of the state association in Birmingham Friday almost in body.
 Will Davis, a young white man, who Is said to have told conflicting stories during the recent trial of Jim Tucker for the murder of I. w. Kemp at Pied mont, was placed on trial in the city court of Anniston Thursday afternoon. In the preliminary investigation, Davis testified for the state, but took the stand for his brother-in-law when the case was called for hearing before Judge Cole man.
