There are but two candidates in the field. the incumbent, Judge P. B. Almon of Tuscumba, and W. w. Callahan oi Decatur. Unless Congress recesses, il Is announced that Congressman Almon will remain at Washington and trust his interests to his friends. So far the only issue presented by the Callahan campaign committee is that of loyalty, their fight being based on the fact that Judge Almon voted against the war declaration. MT. Almon is answering this by pointing to his support of every ad- min nistration war measure that has been presented.

METALS

New York, July 7.-Government re and 90 per cent of steel production and demand is constantly increasing. Orders are divided into classes A, B, c, and D. The first two carry priority certificates. Class c comprises essen tials not so covered and Class D those for general purpose. Class D orders for five tons or less may be delivered when required for public utility. Larg- CT amounts may also be distributed from surplus stock always subject to permission of the director of steel sup plies. The same rule applies to pig iron Prices for steel rails, wire rope and steel and malleable castings will soon be fixed by agreement.
 Smaller iron furnaces complain they cannot operate at present prices with out loss, and efforts are being made to effect an agreement that that may pro- vide for them without disturbing prices of the lower cost producers. Every ton produced is absorbed and furnaces are far behind on orders.
 Copper has been advanced to 26 cents a pound, or 2h cents above the former price. It is expected refinery don prices went up in conformity to the market here. The official price of lead has been raised to S.05 cents, New York, but East St Louis remains at ITS cents. Supplies are scarce.
 Banca tin is more freely offered and is replacing Chinese. Spot tin is val ued at 4s cents.

WILLIAMS CASE RECALLED IN l ERLE PETTUS' RACE
 FOR CONGRESSMAN
ccontinued from Page Five)

Hams was due to hang in Cullman, under the sentence of the court, on the following day. In the meantime John | Williams had been brought to Birming- ham and was confined in the Jefferson county jail for safe keeping. The Bir- mingham papers had given great pub- licity to the case, and much sympathy had been aroused here for the defend- ant.
 l The night before Williams was to be hung Erie Pettus. his attorney, filed a l petition for habeas corpus before Judge Samuel Weaver, then judge of the crim- inal court of Jefferson county, upon the ground that John Williams was insane, and had become insane after his conviction and sentence, and that the state could not execute an insane prisoner.
 STANDS OFF CROWD
 In the meantime. the officers from Cullman county were in Birmingham prepared to take Williams back to Gull man on a train leaving about 9 D. m. When they went into the cell to get him. Williams had broken off an iron bar and stood the crowd off until that train had gone.
 After much deliberation and investi-
 
 ty library. Judge Weaver declared at midnight that he would issue the writ. and make it returnable before him tho next morning at 10 o'clock.
 Governor Jelks felt that it was hiA duty to see that the original sentence of the court was carried out Hon. Massey Wilson, attorney general of the state of Alabama, came from Mont gomery to look into the matter, and Governor Jelks employed the Hon. S. J. Bowie, who had recently retired from Congress, to represent the state at the hearing before Judge Weaver.
 MILITARY COMPANIES HERE In the meantime, two military com- panies were under arms, encamped in Birmingham, for the purpose of escort ing Williams to Cullman to be hung, and special train under full steam was waiting at the Louisville and Nash vile station to convey the party to Cullman. The military companies were called out because it was rumored that Cullman people had determined to res cue Williams if he were brought back to Cullman.
 The position presented to Judge weav- CT was whether he had Jurisdiction of the matter under facts olleged. He held that he did, and passed the case to a later date. On September 12, 1906, Hon. S. D. Weakley, then chief justice of the supreme court, issued a writ of prohibition, prohibiting him from fur- ther consideration of the case.
 COMER COMPUTES SENTENCE
 This question went to the supreme court upon this writ of prohibition. where the temporary order was made final. | In the meantime Gov B. B. Conner succeeded Gov. w. D. Jelks, and Governor Conner commuted the sentence of John Williams to life imprisonment and John Williams is now serving in the state penitentiary, though repeated efforts have been made to have him pardoned or parolled. The son, Frank Williams, won the applaudts of the people of the state for the faithful and untiring manner which he fought for his fathers life or liberty.

INSPECTION OF NEW
HAINES THEATRE

At the invitation OF the Waterville
Theatre Co. the members of the city
government. together with Building IN
spector Andrew Ware. City Engineer
Crawford and Fire Chief Berry. visited
the new IIaines theatre Friday after
noon and made thorough tour of inspec-
ton of the building. They found every
thing most satisfactory and fully com
plying with every requirement as TO safe
ty, both in construction and in fire haz-
ard
The stage. which Is where a fire always
starts in theatre, may be entirely cut
off from the rest OF the building by
means of brick wall which is built up
to the floor, and as asbestos curtain
above. There is also at the top of the
stage an automatic fire vent, so arranged
that when a heat of I'D degrees is gener-
ated IL will automatically open a trar
and create draft, which will draw all
fire away from the house, and it is said
that a person might sit in the balcony
in perfect safety. and watch a fire con.
sumo the stage. There are automatic
shutters for fire draft on the stage and
a hydrant is also installed there. A thor
oughly up-to-date fire escape has also
been placed at the north side OF ths
