DYNAMITE USED
 ID PREPARE SOIL
Interesting Experiment by U. s. Government Demo-
 stratOr Near ThOrsby

Mountain Creek. May 4.-(Special.)-J. Sterling Moran |. S. government demon- strator at Thorsby, subsoiled some land Saturday by the use of dynamite.
 The work was done vn land furnished by Benjamin Franklin near Thorsby. One acre was dynamited. and adjoining this is an acre that will be cultivated in exactly the same way as has been usual, and seeded in exactly the same way as is the sub-soiled acre. This experiment of demonstration will show conclusively the advantages of the sub-soilng pro- cess.
 IL was shown last year that one farmer increased his yield of cotton on small plot just 100 per cent near Brewton Ala bama
 A farmer near Talledega increased his cotton crop so that he realized S45 per acre more than he did the year previous.
 farmer near Marbury increased the yield of corn on plot last year from p bushels the previous year to nearly to nearly 100 bushels for the year 1913.
 The experiment at rhorsby was wit messed by a large number of farmers interested in the matter of increasing the crops.

the largest business houses of New York that the recent passage in New York state of a measure fixing uniform price for which trademark articles could be sold to retailers is likely to drive much of this business to the foreign markets.
 The cutting of prices which has been adopted by some of the large retailers of books has recently been sustained by the supreme court at Washington. So that 1t Is said that if retailers may sell books at whatever price they please so also re- tailers of trademark or proprietary ar ticles should have the same privilege.
 Business men do regard it as somewhat inconsistent for the government to be engaged earnestly in an attempt to elimi- nate monopoly and to establish freedom of competition while at the same time legislation is sought. and in one instance at least has been obtained, which pro- hibits the cutting of prices.
 There are standard proprietary articles the retail price of which has been fixed by the manufacturers of these articles, but which are sold in large quantities for a much smaller price. It is argued that the public gets the full benefit of this competitions. Some of the business associations warmly support legislation which prohibits price cutting. The Amer ican Fair Trade league justifies this legis- lation. The American Photographers as, sociation also justifies this legislation and the American Booksellers association also warmly supports it.
 Therefore 1t is seen that business as whole in the United States Is divided upon this question and there does prevail an opinion that a retailer should have the individual right to charge what he chooses for the articles which he offers for sale
 The chief objection, however, to this templated additional antitrust legislation 10 based upon the fear that it Is under taken too soon in view of other import ant and far-roaching legislation which has recently gone upon the statute books and in view of the attempt of business men to readjust their organizations so that they may be re-established in con- formity with the provisions of the sher- man antitrust laW.

Lineville May 4.-(Special )-Policeman J. H. Moore shot to death Alonzo B. Nichols and Gaines Reaves on the streets of Lineville yesterday morning about 1:3o o'clock.

 Saturday night Gaines Reaves and Alonzo Nichols took up the dispute with Moore, but Officer J. z. Griffin persuaded Nichols and Reaves to go home and, it is alleged, went most of the way with them. Officer Griffin stated that he had not been home more than five minutes before he heard three shots fired in rapid suc- cession, Nichols and Reaves having gone back and resumed their quarrel with Po- liceman Moore, both meeting their death as result.
 Mir. Moore called up Dr. c. P. Gay and ] F. Willingham and notified them of the tragedy, and went to Ashland, where he gave himself up to Sheriff w. D. Mayo.

W|LH|TE KILLED IN
 PECULIAR MANNER
Former Morgan Representa- tive Loses Top of Head in
 Small Saw


 Faikville May Especial )-Squire Jack D. Wilhite. who lives near here, was killed this morning at his home while at work with a small cutoff saw, operated by a gasoline engine. MT. Will hite, together with a nephew of his, young man about 15 years of age, were saving out some wagon timber.
 It seems that the young man went to the house for something and when he returned he found his uncle lying near the saw frame with the top of his head sawed off. The idea that pre- vails is that in holding the piece of timber he was saving, he leaned too far forward and came fin contact with the saw. No one witnessed the accident
 Physicians from here were sum moned, but came too late as MT. Will hite died 20 minutes before he arrived. MT. Wilhite at one time represented this county in the state legislature.
