ATTORNEYS ARE
RELUCTANT IN
SED|T|ON CASES
General Reticence On Part of Law
yers to Defend Men Accused
of Sedition.

In speaking to the court on the
subject of the general reticence that
has been manifested by the local
attorneys in handling cases of men
who have been charge with sedition,
Commissioner Mcdonald stated that
that spirit should not be. Every
man is innocent in the eyes Of the
court until proven guilty, but the
popular comment of the people is so
strong against those charged with
such crimes, that many lawyers do
not care to defend the accused, for
fear of prejudieing their standing
in the community.
The court is not allowed to pro-
cure counsel for defendants in this
case, and it required much pressure
to be brought to bear on the at
torney R. R Douse, who handled
the case for W. NJ. Hollerbach, be-
fore he would take the defense.
The same state of affairs existed
in the case of Ed Lund, who was
without counsel. At the urgent re-
quest of several men in town, Mr. j.
Hampton Miles was induced to han
die the case for Lund, and once
Mr.. Miles started, he left no stone
unturned to obtain a light sentence
for the accused, who had no testi-
mony to offer against the prosecut-
ing witnesses. Mr. Miles proved
himself very forcible and capable
lawyer and his address to the jury
showed that his only interest in the
case was one of pure Americanism
and justice.

COST OF REDISTILLING
SEIZED SPIRITS WOULD
EXCEED PRODUCERS PRICE

The following announcement is
authorized by the war department:
Numerous inquiries have come to
the war department with regard to
the possibility of redistilling seized
spirits for alcohol.
THE acting chief of ordnance and
the chief chemist of the bureau of
internal revenue have examined into
the possibility and have found that
the small amount of alcohol recover
ed per gallon of spirits, the cost of
transportation, recooperage, and re-
distillation would make the cost to
the government greater than that it
is now paying At the same time,
the risk of impurities in alcohol de-
rived from the conglomerate spirits
is of proportions worth serious con-
sideration when the alcohol is to go
into the manufacture of explosives.
The average yield from confiscated
liquor would not exceed per cent
of alcohol.
"The war department., therefore,
has replied to such inquiries by say
ing that the amount of alcohol which
could be obtained is insignificant
compared with the total require
ments, which is nearly 1OO,OOO,OOO
pounds for this year, and that the
cost of producing alcohol in this
manner would greatly exceed the
price at which it can be bought from
the large producers"

ROADS TO RE REPAIRED

Anniston. July H.-(Special )-Tnrough the efforts of the Rotary club commit tee composed of E. A. sherman, Rev. IS. E. Hodges, J. C. Sproull and Marshal Peck the lower part of the Jacksonville pike and the upper end of Noble street will be put in first-class shape at once. Capt. Robrt F. Scott, construction quar- termaster at Camp Mcclellan, has ten- !dered the use of sufficient government road machinery to do the work ueces- sary to make the connecting link between the city and the new brick highway pos- sible, and the liberality of the quarters master has aroused a great deal of in- terest among those who use the roadway to the camp.
 The question of repairing Noble street and the lower part of the pike was brought up for discussion at the Rotary meeting Friday afternoon, and the mem bers showed that they were enthusiastic ally in favor of anything for the good of the community.
 A party headed by MT. Sherman drove Mayor Scarbrough and others over the
 toughest part of the road Friday after
 noon and also brought the deplorable |eondition of the road ts the attention of
 the county anthorities.' The county au-
 thorities will cooperate willingly with the committee in the work of making the road better. and Arge force of hands will be put to work early during this week for that purpose.
 Captain Scott and MT. Sherman are both much interested in the question of securing better roads between the city and the camp, and they never lose an opportunity to ehibit their public-sprted- mess.

DEMAND FOR COAL IS

 The prevailing note in every market report this week is that the demand for coal is intense.

 In Chicago the retailers are tremen- dously busy on bituminous coal, but both they and their customers are waiting patiently for the arrival of the prom ised snrply of anthracite.
 In the matter of steam coal. eastern factories. as reported from New York and Baltimore. are suffering because of the competition of war plants. There is not enough coal for everyone and the war plants, of course, are taking tho lions share of it. General business is already slowing down.
