raising. praised the men in high terms for the loyalty they showed by remaining at work on the holiday.
 In a brief address Maj. c. L. Dulin in- troduced Mir Darlington to the large number of visitors who had gone to the camp in their cars.
 MT. Carrington's address was interrupt ed frequently by bursts of applause, and the applause was especially marked when he referred to the American flag which was being raised at the camp. NO Amer ican has ever been ashamed to say: That is my flag" he said.
 At a given signal the flag was raised to the top of the pole by little Miss Beth any Ingram, while the audience stood at attention, the soldiers saluted and flag salute of 21 guns was fired.
 Following the flag raising Major Dulill led the way to the tables, where barbe- cued dinner, prepared on the grounds had been spread for the men at the camp as mark of appreciation for their giving up their holiday and remaining at work in order to complete the camp buildings at the earliest possible time. One of the latest camp developments announced by Major Dulin Wednesday night, was the turning on of the city water, through the new mains that have

 BLAKE AFTER SLACKERS
 Deputy Marshal R. B. Blake Is mak- ing an active campaign in the city and county against the slackers who avoid ed registering on June 5. He has made three arrests and the young men will be given hearing before Commission CT l.. B. Lilies in the near future. Other arrests are expected to follow.
 NO ARREST ON FOURTH
 "Wednesday was the most orderly Fourth of July in the history of the city, said Mayor Scarborough Thurs day morning. The chief of police re- ported that not a single arrest had been made. which indicated even bet ter order than prevails on the average day
 It is believed the enforcement of the bone-dry prohibition law accounts for the lack of disorders and misdemean- ors that have heretofore marked the celebration of the glorious Fourth. Men who have small quantity of liquor on hand are saving 1t care fully, knowing they will get no more, and do not drink enough at time to intoxicate them.

 HEIR TO FORTUNE
 By a court decision, rendered at Ham lton. O., Tuesday morning. Frank Home wood, formerly of this city. was made heir to an estate valued at $396,O00, in addition to valuable hotel at Hamilton, according to advices received here Thurs day morning.
 Mr. Homewood lived In Anniston for several years and was employed here as a machinist While living in Anniston he married an Anniston girl.
 The estate to which MT. Homewood has fallen heir was that of his mother, Mrs. James Homewood. The news of MT. Homewood's good fortune will give his many friends in Anniston pleasure, as he was popular with the men whom he as- sociated with while employed here.

GRAIN MARKET STRONG
weather Overrides Bearish Effect of
Govt Control and Prices Rise.

Chicago, Dec 29.-Despite reassur-
ance caused by the government taking
possession of the railroads, grain
p-ices have made a decided advance
this week, owing chiefly to storms and
other hindrances to the free move
ment of the crops. The upturn in
corn was cents to 2 4 and oats 2 Il
to 81 cents. Provisions suffered a
decline varying from 81 cents to $1.1O.
Before the news became public that

market was bullishly affected by COM
plants of car scarcity and by the fact
that receipts here were Disappointing
ly small, with the United States visible
supply statement showing My slight
enlargement. Upward swings in
value, however, were somewhat check
ed by knowledge that low tempera-
lures which were interfering with
railroad efficiency could not escape
having a favorable effect toward cur
ing the new crop. Something of a
downturn Immediately resulted from
the prospect that the government
would bring about material increase
of arrivals at the main terminal mar
kets, but later this outlook was at
least temporarily spoiled by intensi-
fled cold and by widespread storms
