,MORAGNE AND DRIVER
 ARE HELD BY OFFICERS
Charged With Violating Prohibition Law-Claims He Was Carrying
 Liquor From Georgia to Florida

Frank Moragne and his chauffeur, Doc Iargrove, negro, were arrested early Fri fay morning at Huffman. three miles by Deputy Connie Austin and Detectives Alexander Christian, Foley and Whalen, and locked up in the county jail on the charge of violating the prohibition law. Moragne is being held at the county jail under 5000 bond, and had not made it up until an early hour this morning.
 Moragne protests his innocence and says that he was acting as a common carrier transporting several cases of whisky from Cave Springs, Ga, to a point in Florida. He showed the officers the bills of lading and said that the whisky was to be delivered in Florida by him. The packages had not been opened and were sealed and marked for the liquor concern in Florida, which was to receive them. It is understood that the officers making the arrest had been tipped off that an automobile loaded with liquor was going to pass in the vicinity of Birmingham. The officers prepared for trouble and armed themselves with shotguns in the event any trouble might be given them. Moragne never made a murmur when his machine was held up and he was told he was under arrest. He explained that he was violating no ew and that he should not be arrested.
 Much interest is being manifested in the case of Moragne, as it is asserted by some who are authorities on law that one who is carrying liquor from one state to another is not guilty of violating the prohibition laws.

NEW RECORD SET ! BY BANK 0F ENSLEY Monthly Review Says 1916 Will Bring Prosperity to
 the Whole South

The monthly financial and commer- cial review issued by the Bank of Ems ley Is as follows:
 "The new year opens under condi-
 tions which point to still greater pros
 perity in the United States. The gov

 crops show that the past year was a
 banner one in production and value,
 with an acreage greater than the com
 bined area of Germany, France, Bel
 giurn, Holland, Denmark and SwitZer- land; the nation wide increase in traf-
 fife indicates that the railroads are en-
 which will be all the more pronounced
 because of the economies practiced in
 the East year and the unusual eff
 ciency which the industry now shows;
 the volume Of bank clearings reflects
 immense gains over last year, with
 record exchanges in certain sections
 that have not benefited from "war or
 ders," but where prosperity is easily traceable to revival of general trade; the demand for finished steel has en- larged the production in this country to 2S,00O,O0O tons a year, which is F per cent above the previous maximum touched in the spring of 1913, and the remarkable improvement in holiday trade shows that the country has just done Christmas business largely in excess of any recent year.
 "virtually all records for monthly railroad earnings are being broken. Official returns for October show that many of the large systems collected 1 more money from the public in that month than ever before. November business in many lines was unprece dented. The December totals are ex- pected to show still further gains. "Adoption by our government of a policy of military preparedness will mean immense business for the steel plants.
