charges that have been preferred by
the Bibb county grand jury against
J. D. Evans. the states warden at Lu-

well as the attorney general He fur
nished the information following a let
ter from the executive requesting that
he convey to him the details OF the
evidence against the warden so as to
guild, the state in its investigation OF
the warden's alleged misconduct. The
probe, it appeared, got under good head
way today.
The grand jury charged Evans with
cruelty to convicts and with receiv-
ing money from them to aid them in
obtaining paroles and pardons. No In
dictment was found against the war
den, but the report was deemed so i'm
portant that the presiding judge or

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
MAY HAVE INNING
Mrs. Scion Jacobs of Bir-
mingham Will Address
Executive Committee

Montgomery, September 5.-(Special.)
Womans suffrage may have an inning
before the state democratic executive
committee at the meeting of that body
to be held in Montgomery September 10.
An effort is being made, it was learned
today, to have the committee go on rec
ord on the issue, and it is said that the
committee will be requested to pass a
resolution either indorsing womans suf-
frage or going as far as the national
democratic convention did.
A member of the committee who was
in Montgomery today, stated that Mrs.
Scion Jacobs of Birmingham one of the
states most jealous suffragists. wrote
him few days ago asking that he re-
quest General Bib Graves, chairman of
the committee, to permit her to address
the committee at their approaching
meeting. The committeeman said that
he has not heard from General Graves,
but presumes that he replied to Mrs.
Jacobs direct. General Graves was out
of the city today on military duties.
The committee member declared that
he was in Birmingham few days ago
and that another member of the body
told him that he was going to bring
the question of woman's suffrage before
the body and attempt to have it disposed
of. The committee of course, has been
called specifically to consider several con-
tests, and number of those interested
are wondering whether the woman S
suffrage issue will ever be reached. it
is known that several members are OPP
posed to womans suffrage. Some, who
personally are not opposed to it, would
be against the committee going on record.

INDUSTRIAL COURSES
AT Y. M. G.. A. SCHOOL
Electricity Will Be Taught Under
Course of Auburn Exten-
sion Service

The subject of electricity Will be taught
at the Y NJ. c. A. night school. 1t will
be course in the new Auburn extension

Cox, an Auburn graduate and engineer
of the Birmingham Railway, Light and

benefit of those industrial workers of the

mentary mechanics.

die, the former assistant to R. d. john
ston, Jr., patent attorney the latter engi-
neer with the Johnson-Barry Steel COM

who are getting exceedingly valuable
practical experience but lack technical
training, will avail themselves of this
opportunity of getting further technical
education and so increasing their useful
ness and earning power.
The school will open on Monday, Octo-

.DEMURRERS FILED
BY THE GOVERNOR
On These Will Be Decided
Question of Mandamus
Writ Asked For

Montgomery, September Especially
With the filing of demurrers today by
counsel for the governor, the issues were
clearly drawn in the mandamus case en-
tered in the circuit court several days
ago by j. r. DAILY, through the attorney
general, in an effort to force the chief
executive to approve an account for ex-
penses incurred in the investigation of
the conduct of Pal NJ. Daniel impeached
sheriff of Russell county. By an agree
ment, Judge Leon McCord set down the
demurrers for hearing on September y.
The whole case rests on the court s
decision In the demurrers, which doubt
less will be stubbornly fought by the
attorney generals department. There are
Is demurrers in all, bringing up quite
number of novel legal questions. One
OF the contentious offered by the gov
counsel is that the chief executive
is not subject to mandamus, even To- per
form a ministerial function, and that
If he were nlandamused the process wouli
be useless as there is no way to enforce
it. The theory behind this contention is
that the three branches of the state gov
ernment-eXecutive, judicial anu leSls'a-
tive-are separate and distinct, being alb
solutely Independent of one another.
BY method of exclusion, the governor
lawyers attempt to show, by series OF
demurrers that Daily was employed as o
detective and in such capacity is not
entitled to expenses under the "attor-
ney generals act of 1915.
1t is also alleged in one of the demur-
rers that the governor did not authorize
the employment of DAILY, and il this de-
murrer is ever reached, it will bring into
question the power of the attorney gen
eral to incur expenses In making in
designations without first consulting and
Obtaining the consent of the governor.
One of the demurrers attacks the con-
stitutionality of the attorney generals
bill, passed by the legislature in 1915,
and which statute preciptated the differ
ences between Attorney General Martin
and Governor Henderson

DIR. W. W. SHOEMAKER
FORMERLY RESIDENT
OF MOBILE, ALABAMA,
Says Ferraline Is the Only
Remedy That Ever Bene-
fitted His Wife-Recom-
mends 1t to His Patients

DIR. w. w. Shoemaker, physician and
surgeon of Handley, Tex, was formerly
a resident of this locality, practicing for
years in Washington county, Ala. He is
well known by the physicians of Mobile
and stands high in his profession.
"Ferraline' said DR.. Shoemaker, to a
representative of the Frankville Medicine
company, Il hold very highly as a rem
edy to be used in the treatment of ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach and
bowels In my opinion, it is unsurpassed
as a remedy for controlling hemorrhage
from whatsoever source. It's healing
powers are very great.
''Ferraline is the only remedy that
have ever found that gave my wife per-
manent relief from the form of indi-
gestion from which she suffered for
a number of years. Through its use
she has completely regained her health.
1T is a good tonic one that may be
easily assimlated by delicate stomach.
and a reconstructive that will build up
the system in natural manner and
do 1t easily and quickly. 1t is natural
regulator acts upon the kidneys and
gives strength to the body. 1t does not
contain any alcohol or other habit form
ing drugs, and can only be beneficial in
its use
II am using Ferraline in my practice
daily, and with splendid results. 1t will
quickly relieve the soreness OF the stom-
ach and bowels due to improper digestion,
prevent the forming Of gas, and gives
the system red blood corpdscles.
Sin serious cases. continued DR.,
Shoemaker, where the patient can at
ford it, the recognized health resorts OF
the country are recommended. as these
minerals are in their natural state and
more easily assimilated than any manu-
featured preparat ton The analysis OF
Ferraline brings it in the class of these
mineral waters in a concentrated form;
therefore, results should be obtained in a
much shorter time than from a lengthy
visit to a health resort"

VERY DANGEROUS
Continued from page one)

PEELED to sell out his business to some

and the whole thing will be detrimental
to American industry.
REGARDING PURCHASERS
Gentlemen, this is a dangerous
measure We cannot see where 1t is
going to reach. 1 would as lief have it
possible for men to combine to sell to
the American consumer as to have them
combine In buying from the American
producer What is the difference? fall
to see 1t.
"Mr. Chairman, the objects of anti
trust laws are twofold One Is to pro-
ltect the consumers, to save them from
exploitation by the manufacturers and
|middlemen. That Is one of the great
purposes of the antitrust law. But that
is not the only purpose. Another great
purpose is to protect the producer from
a great combine of purchasers, to pro
tect the small manufacturer, the small
dealer. and give them chance to COM
pete on fair terms. 1t is true we care
nothing about the exploitation of for
eign peoples by our own people who
have something to SELL However, we
should have some regard for our pro-
ducers who may be forced to sell their
products of farm and factory to ex-
norters who have entered into an OPP
|pressive and unjust combination to de-
press prices"
