DIXIE WILL SPEND
MERRY CHRISTMAS

COLUMBUS, Ca, Dec. 24.-The In
dustrial Index says in it's issue for this
week:
THE Southeast will enjoy the holi
days with thankfulness and welcome
the New Year with smoling conf
dence.
The steady increase in the move
ment of cotton to foreign markets and
the reception of more and more big
orders from abroad for a wide range
of American goods and products are
substantial features in the continued
improvement in general business con-
ditions, the net results of which are
beginning to be expressed in dol
lars.
Stocks of cotton and of cotton
goods in Europe will be depleted and
even now Germany and Austria are
anxious to secure cotton and willing
to pay good prices for it. The mills of
this country must supply cotton goods
not only to Europe, but also to coun-
tries which Eurpe has been supplying.
There are evidences that the declara-
ton that cotton mills of this country
would be running overtime before so
very long was we'll founded
"By way of illustration, announce
ment has been made that the Montala
Mfg. Co., of Montgomery, Ala, will
begin January to operate its plant
with double shifts in order to supply
the demand for it's products. The COM
pany operates one of the largest cot
ton products plants in Montgomery.
"The Huntsville Knitting Co., of
Huntsville, Ala, is operating it's plant
on extra time to fill an order from Eu-
rope for cotton underwear. 1t has
just forwarded carload of the under
wear to New, York by express.
"A cotton mill at Eufaula, Ala, has
begun the manufacture of large
amount of bleaching to fill an, order
from Alden, Arabia.
"The chartering at Savannah, Ca,
by New York company of two big
steamships to be operated between Sa-
vannah and Bremen for the carrying
of cotton is believed to be an import
ant step toward the resumption of the
export of cotton. While the insurance
rate will be high, it will be much
more than Offset by the prices that car
be secured for the cotton in Europe.
Shipments of cotton seed cake from
Savannah in November were the heav
lest for any month in the history o.
that city. The greater portion of the
shipments was to Danish ports.
Phosphate shipments last week a
Tampa, Fla, were heavier than for thC
corresponding week of last year.
1T is estimated that already tota
of approximately 100000 tons of pis
iron has been sold in the Birmingham
district for delivery IN the first 81,
months of next year.
Contracts for the construction o
total of eighteen miles additional o
brick paved roads have been awarded
by Hillsborough county, Florida.
Miami, Fla, and Gadsden, Ala
have sold improvement bonds and bid
have been asked by three cities TO
municipal improvement bonds aggre
eating $535,OOO.
"Twenty-four corporations with min
imum capital stocks aggregating 1922,
zoo have been formed.

according, to this evidence, which
shows Overwhelmingly that Dignan's
act was deliberate" argued Barn
hart. mo word was spoken between
the two men at the time of the shoot
ing. The man who was shot was not
looking toward his assailant at the
time the bullets struck him. At the
time Hammond was shot he had both
hands on the steering wheel of his
automobile and his head turned away
from Dignan. The hands of the dead
man chung in death to the steering
wheel, according to witnesses.
81 can state positively to the court
that there is no evidence in all the
coroner's minutes of this case which
will show that the act Of Dignan was
one of self-defense. We are opposed
to the granting of bail in this case"
Thomas ]. Dawson, attorney for
Dignan, argued that there had been
several strikes against Dignan last
year and that Hammond was plotting
another strike, was making threats
against Dignan, and brother of Dig
nan was told that Hammond was go
ing to get him.
Judge Mcdonald granted the mo-
ton for bail and said:
''In view of the general labor trou-
bles and considering the standing of
the accused man in the community,
will take the responsibility of fixing
this mans bond at $25, 000."
A Day Book reporter asked Assist
ant States Atty Barnhart yesterday
whether the granting Of bond to Dig
nan was in any way exceptional or
quite in the ordinary course of events
in bonding procedure. Barnhart cited
the Criminal Code, Div. Ill, 294:
''Bailable Offenses. 1. All per-
sons shall be bailable before convic-
ton, except for capital offenses where
the proof is evident or the presump-
ton great"

DIGNAN, HELD FOR MURDER, is
ALLOWED FREEDOM ON BONDS
A rich gunman, an employer of
labor, who shot and killed an I'M
armed labor union official, walked out
yesterday from steel-barred cell and
through the Cook county Jail doors
out into the streets, free man tenn
porarily.
His name is Patrick H. Dignan and,
according to the coroner's jury YER
dict on June "a, he fired three bullets
from a revolver and the first of these
bullets struck George H. Hammond
in the back of the head and killed
George Hammond. The two other
bullets, extras to make sure of the
job on an unarmed man, entered the
body. The jury verdict also said:
From the evidence presented, we,
the jury, recommend that Patrick H.
Dignan be held to the grand jury on
a charge of murder until discharged
by due course of law"
No witnesses, no documents or 9TH
er evidence was offered by Dignan's
attorney before Judge Mcdonald in
the so-called gunmaR's court on Mon
day when Judge Mcdonald admitted
Dignan to bail.
The coroner's record of sixteen
witnesses who swore they saw Dig
nan get out of buggy and walk over
to Hammond's automobile and shoot
three bullets into Hammond, and the
testimony of three witnesses that
there was no gun in the pockets of
the dead man just after the shooting,
was introduced by Assistant States
Atty Barnhart.
