Three boys were brought in by the 20
lice before Judge Matthew Wednesday
morning and were given a severe lecture
on throwing rocks. it being alleged that
they had been breaking some of the
windows in the old factory boarding
mouse. 1t was not thought best to ar
ralgn them in court IN account of their
youth but to have the judge give them
a talking to and warning in his private
once. The practice of some of the bows
IN the city of throwing rocks at every
automobile, team, vacant house and at
smaller children seems to be on the in
crease and it is probable that before
long some of them will be taken in and
made an example of.

annual FAIR OF
FREEbAPTIST
CHURCH OPENS

The annual fair and entertainment
of the Free Baptist church was held
at the church vestry Wednesday after
noon and evening. The ladies OF the
church had devoted a great deal OF
time to the preparations for the event
and the result was one of the finest
fairs that has ever been held by the
church. The various committees did
their work finely and everything was
handled in the best manner possible.
The church vestry had been finely dec
GRATED for the occasion and the large
number Of people who attended during
the day found the tables well filled
with articles which could be purchased
at a good trade and the result was
that before the closing time a large
sale had resulted. At 6 o'clock a fine
supper was served and in the evening
there was a musical entertainment
that was much enjoyed. All during the
afternoon and evening refreshments
were on sale and the booth did a
splendid business. A good sum will be
realized for the work of the church
The following tables were found by
the visitors: The apron table which
was in charge of Mrs. Silas Adams
and she was assisted by Mrs. John
Grant. Here were, all kinds of aprons,
both large and small and varying in
price and beauty. The baby table was
in charge of Mrs. J. F. Thurston and
she was assisted by Mrs. James Towle
and Mrs. F. B. Gould. Here was dis
played q large number of baby fur
nishings which were as fine an assert
ment as one would care to see. The
mystery table was one of those which
was heavily patronized during the time
of the fair, and this was presided over
by Mrs Herbert Rose. The table on
which were displayed the caps for
household work was presided over by
Mrs. Frank Rand and she was assisted
by Mrs. Elizabeth Rackliffe and here a
fine assortment of caps were displayed
which, however. rapidly disappeared as
the buyers appreciated their value.
The fancy work table was one of the
prettiest OF the whole number and here
Mrs. c. L. Pillsbury and Mrs. Ernest
Wilson had gathered together a large
number of pieces of fancy work which
were as fine as anything that has been
seen in the city for a long time. The
miscellaneous table was taken care of
by Mrs. Walter Scribner and Mrs.
John Mulholin and here was varied
assortment of articles which were
given a good reception by the buyers.
The candy table was looked after by
Miss Myrtle Towle and contained a
fine display of all kinds of home made
candies, and next to it was the ice
cream table where Mrs. NJ. E. Gotland-
er dished out some delicious cream
which was enjoyed by about everyone
who attended. The table where the
home cooked food was displayed was
an attractive one for great many
people and it was rapidly depleted Of
its wares. Mrs. c. +. Hutchinson and
Mrs. Walter Johnson were in charge
of this. The fair will be known as one
of the most successful that has been
held at the church for long time.

FARM CLUB BOYS
HAVING BIG TIME
Much Valuable Information
Secured on Their Trips to
Plants Yesterday

Yesterday was a busy day for the
Junior Agricultural club boys of JEFF
ferson county, who are going through
a short agricultural training course
here.
Beginning early yesterday morning
the boys were busy all day, in the
morning listening to speeches and in
the afternoon visiting stockyards aud
packing houses. They also attended a
community fair given by the NOEL
waine school.
1. B. Kerlin, state agent for the boys
corn clubs, of Auburn, was the prin-
cipal speaker yesterday, and talked to
the boys along a common sense course
of four-crop system. This speech was
along the line submitted by the de-
partment of agriculture. The boys lis
tened attentively to this talk and
seemed to appreciate the points brought
out by the speaker.
Announcement was made to the boys
that the Central of Georgia Railroad
company would give prizes to them for
the best showings in the corn, pig and
calf clubs, along with the regular
prizes offered by the government. This
announcement was received with en-
thusiasm.
The boys will get down to some prac-
teal work today, and several contests
will be staged. There are 27 in attend
ance, and each boy is intent upon maxi
ing the best of his opportunity to learn
as much about agriculture as he can.
Every step of the visits to the stock
pens and packing houses was enjoyed
by the boys. Numerous questions were
asked and explanations followed from
those in charge.

TAKING NO CHANCE
ON MAKING ERROR
Democrats Warned to Be Sure That
Expense Accounts of Electors
Are Filed

Despite the fact that it now appears
certain that President Wilson will re-
ceive a majority of the electoral vote
upon the completion of the official
counts, the democratic national commit
tee is taking no chances. Every detail
is being watched and no chance will be
taken for any technical question to be
raised concerning the legality of any of
the Presidents vote.
E. D. Smith, Alabama's national COM
Initteeman, is in receipt of a telegram
from the national committee urging him
to see, without delay, that each of the
electors from Alabama properly files his
expense account. OF course, none of the
democratic electors from this state had
any expense beyond the few cents neces-
sary for postage in qualifying, but the
law is specific on this point, and re-
auires that a report be made whether
anything was spent or not.
Bibb Graves, state chairman, has also
received from National Chairman Nc
Cormick q message similar to that sent
Mr. Smith by the national committee.
'Au the information l have received in
the past few days from the national
committee shows conclusively that thM,
anticipate no trouble said Mr.. Smith
However,, they are taking no chances
of allowing the republicans to raise
question regarding some small legal ef
feet In the qualifications of the electors.
They are also busy gathering evidence of
alleged election frauds to have on hand
in case any effort should be made to
start a contest. However no such &C
ton is anticipated"

COAST LINE KEEPS
EYE ON ITS CARS
Has Asked Privilege of Routing
Freight After the Cars Leave
Its Hands

To provide more cars for southern
shippers, the Atlantic Coast Line has
asked the privilege of directing the
routing of freight after it leaves it's
line. The reason for this request is
that some of the railroads in the north
and east having equipment of the At
lantc Coast Line, are returning the
cars promptly, while others are in
different to the appeals made.
In explaining how it is that the road
is short of necessary rolling stock. the
circular to the patrons says:
"a very large percentage of the
total equipment owned by this com
pany is now in the possession of rail-
roads in the north and west, and else
where throughout the country. Some
of these lines are putting forth every
effort to promptly return our cars.
while others are apparently indiffer-
emit to our appeals and the necessities
regarded.
The Atlantic Coast Line is what
might be termed a producing line in
that it originates more traffic for de-
livery to conn sting lines than it re-
ceives from b lines and under
these conditif At will be apparent
that if our ( are not promptly re-
turned it VI e only question of
time until.y re literally drained of
eQuipment.''

COTTON OIL LOSS
MANY THOUSANDS
General Manager Claybrooke Says
First Reports of Fire Damage
Were Underestimated

w. d. Claybrooke, general manager OF
the Butler Cotton Oil company, stated
yesterday that the damage from the
Thursday morning fire at the plant would
be considerable above $4,000, the figure
first reported.
''The main two-story building of the
plant was totally destroyed" said Mr..
Claybrooke, "as well as the machinery
which it contained. The loss will run
into many thousands of dollars, but it
was fully covered by insurance. We have
so far been unable to determine the
cause of the fire though it was first
discovered in Inter No. at $3.50 O'Clock
in the morning.
1.-THE negro, John Pope. who lost his
life in the fire, went back into the build
ing to get his clothes after he had been
positively warned not to re-enter."
THE Butler Cotton Oil company OPP
crates the plant which was formerly
known as the Butler-Keser Cotton Oil
company. The present company operates
a chain of plants and has headquarters
in Albertville.
