KING NOT LOCATED.

Grand Ridge, Fla, May Is.
Editor of The Journal:
In your Sundays issue you carry
a news item from Tallahassee which
makes mis-statements. Your cor
respondent there writes that c. B.
King, the removed county superinten-
dent of education of Jackson county,
left home and was gone a short
while and was later located in Mis-
sissippi. This is all wrong. He did
leave home on January 18th, wrote a
very short note from Chapman, Ala,
on the oath, and has never been heard
from since. If Governor Cats or
any members of the legislature has
located him in Mississippi they will
confer the greatest favor on his wife
by letting her know his whereabouts
His family and friends feel like your
statement throws q reflection on him
in that it makes it appear that he
deliberately left his office from will
ful neglect. We know that i'll health,
combined with over-work and politi-
cal persecution temporarily dethron-
ed his reason.
AS his wife, I would be glad if
you would kindly state that he has
not been located in Mississippi; he
is not with relatives and no one has
heard anything from him.
Any information at all as to his
whereabouts will be greatly appro-
ciated by his family and friends.
Yours truly,
MRS. G. B. KING.

prohibition, just as soon as the present
stocks are exhausted, and the longer the
war, the longer more firmly entrenched in
prohibition this country will be-
What the prohibition movement has
done in Russia and England in the short
space of two and half years, is shown by
Irving Fisher, professor of political econ
omy of Yale, in a recent contribution to
the magazine section of the New York
Times:
The efficiency Russian labor has been greatly
increased since prohibition. and presumably because
of it. The Russian Minister Finance reported
in the coal districts the output per

workingmen, in spite of the fact that a considerable
number had been called off to the It found

The argument Of the liquor interests, to-

argument at all. because it is not question

There would, of course, be no trouble in
distributing the revenue appOrtiOnment,
now assessed upon liquor, on half a dozen
other articles As Professor Fisher says,
the only taxable source of revenue for a
nation is the national dividend' and any
| measures that increase national efficiency
for producing goods, make taxes easier.
Assume that the liquor evil is not as bad
in the United States as in Russia-that
does not prove there is no room for I'M
provcment. And what about the English
record proving that crime diminishes with
| the liquor supply?

! considerations, a long war will see the dis
t;lleries converted into factories of other
commodities. Would they wish to incur
I the expense of changing back to alcohol
when peace is finally concluded?

ANN|STON REGRETS
 ID GIVE UP CAVALRY
Thought, However, Infantry Will Relieve This Com mand When Ordered
 to Border

Anniston, May 1S.-(Special.) )-Many ex- pressons of regret were heard in Annis- ton today when it was learned that the First cavalry will probably be trans ferred to the Mexican border for patrol service; the regret was expressed in both business and social quarters as the men of the regiment have proven to be ''good fellows and their actions have caused very little or no complaint. On the other hand. they have added to the social life of the city, and have CO., operated with the business men in various matters to the advantage of all con cerned
 It was learned on good authority that Anniston will not be without soldier boys. An infantry regiment will take the place of the cavalry and the headquarters will be at Camp Steiner. The infan- trymen will also have a band, although it is doubtful if the members can be any more generous than the members of the cavalry band have been in furnishing good music whenever they have been asked.
 Private Dewey Saunders of the First cavalry, who naQ been arrested WltH Fred Fagin at Piedmont last Sunday on the charge of being implicated in the shooting of Ol Martini and Tom Roberts. was given a preliminary hearing Tuesday before Judge Thomas w. Coleman and discharged Fred Fagin is still being held for the murder of Roberts, who died Monday from wound inflicted by Fa- gir when the latter grabbed the soldiers revolver and shot Martin and Roberts. It is understood Martin is recovering.
 Capt. Henry T. McI<enney of the regu- lar army. chief recruiting officer for Alabama. was in the city this morning inspecting the recruiting station.
 Cartain McKenney was loud in his praise of the patriotism of Anniston and Calhoun county. He made the statement that more soldiers had been recruited in Anniston than at any other recruiting station in the state, with the exception of the main office in Birmingham.
 Since recruiting started for the regular army, 503 men have been recruited in this state. This number does not include the number enlisting in militia regiments nor in the navy

 Many Sales Reported
 Asked concerning the condition of the Phoenix real estate market, a rep resentative of E. J. Bennitt & Co. said yesterday that there have been more transfers in Salt River Valley real es- tate in the past few months than in
 many years. The activity has been
 confined to no special part of the val
 ley, but extends over all and even to
 desert lands outside of the project. Neither has it been confined to any
 one particular class of land, the de- mand being good for both improved
 and unimproved tracts. It is also gratifying to note, he said, that the prices are increasing steadily, with a strong indication of continuing to inn
 prove during the summer. Among the
 sales recently reported through the Bennitt office are the following: A 40-acre tract in section 1924 was sold to J. T. Ware of Chandler.
 This is fine land in the Camelbacl; ulStrlct ana VIII De immediately i'm proved by the purchaser
