COTTON FUTURES
 ACT CONSTRUED
Purchaser May Not Recover When Market Goes
 Against Him
By FRED H. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age-Herald. 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery. April 1S.-(Special.)-- Citizens of Alabama who purchased cotton futures in the hope of mak- ing "a killing" cannot recover the money advanced when the market goes against them under decision of the supreme court today. whicn construed the cotton futures act of 1915. It reversed the decision of the Blount circuit court which gave T. H. Jones a Judgement for $2000.
 Jones purchased future contract from Levy. Aronson and White of New Orleans. according to the evidence, fo rwhich he paid S2,00O, as the mar gin. The market went against him. The company called upon him to put up S1,000 to protect the contract. He did not put up the money and the company sued him.
 On the trial Jones filed a plea of setoff under an old Alabama law which held that dealing in cotton fu- lures was gambling and that person might recover the amount he paid. On the trial the lower court held that Jones, the defendant, could recover S2,000 from the plaintiffs. The su- preme court ruled that the law of 1915 which standardized dealing in cotton futures in Alabama with the federal law repealed the old proVt- sion which permitted a person to re- cover. The effect of the lewiston will be to prevent Jones from receiving the money which he paid as margin.

ANNISTON PLANTS
 CLOSED THURSDAY
Trouble Arising From En- ployment of Negro Mold
 CTS Believed Settled

Anniston, April 1S.-(special.)- Negro shake-outs and helpers, here tofore employed In the dozen Annis- ton foundries, several of whom were beaten up by white men after they had attempted to operate the Ru6isill Pipe works plant in Oxanna as mold CTS, declined to resume their places in the foundries Thursday, follow ing an agreement reached Wednes- nay night for the withdrawal of the negro holders from the Oxanna plant.
 None of the Anniston plants were in operation Thursday because of the refusal of the negroes to resume their places in the foundries, the tense feeling between the white molders and the negro laborers of the city agreement of the Rudisill company to abandon their plan for operating the Oxanna plant exclusively with negro help.
 A committee of white holders Wed nesday night called upon President Rudisill at his home on Quintard avenue, and when this committee re- turned to the business section of tho city where hundreds of holders and ONHSAS WCAc SOh6 dtGQ anu An- nounced their decision in favor of the white mechanics general rejoic- ing followed.
 Several negroes, some of whom were not connected with the effort to operate the local plant, were beat en up by white men during Wednes- day while one or two of the negro holders were attacked by white men.
 The feeling of relief in Anniston over the partial settlement of the labor difficulty developing over the first effort In recent years to install negro labor in competition to that of the whites was pronounced in every section of the city on Thursday.
 Manufacturers of the city who have followed the course of events since the holders made their first demon stration at the Oxanna plant Mon day morning predicted Thursday that a return to normalcy would be ef- fected by Monday and that the shops of the city would be able to resume operations by that time.

subject? No. I'm in earnest, Reg gie. I'm in love with Elliot Glyn, and he's in love with me-"
 You mean he's in love with your money" cried Reggie, casting pru- dence to the winds. The chap has not got one bean to rub against an- other. He has an internal cheek to ask a girl like you-'
 Hush, please! I won't hear a word against him" A spot of indignant red had flown like a danger signal to Camille's cheeks. Reggie was show ing himself in his true light-at last. Nothing you can say will alter matters, and when you insult MT Glyn, you also insult me, remem- beri"
 Reggie saw his error, and changed his tack.
 This hits me rather badly, Ca mille. You know what my feelings toward you are. But I want to see you happy. And if only 1 were sat- isfied that you had met the right man"
 You can rest assured of that" she cut in quickly. Jimmy Morti- of people think the world of Elliot Glyn. But even if they didn't, it wouldn't make any difference to mel"
 No, I suppose it wouldn't You women always do rush on your fate, and then whine about it afterwards say. beg your pardon I'm brute. Camille. But l feel so darn miser- able that l scarcely know what I'm saying. Take no notice of me, please"
 That touched her.
 "Ill always be your friend, Reg gie." She offered the old platitude that Is so irritating to a rejected swain. We've had gay times to- gether in London, and now that I'm getting married-"
 'It won't make any difference?' Reggie sneered. with a cynical twist to the lip. i've heard that line of talk before. but 1t never works"
 Camille drew back Her brows were lifted in surprise.
 "Oh, I'm sorry" He pushed his coffee cup away, untasted. I'm glad you're happy, but l can't make song about ftp
 Again she was touched. The knowledge that man loves her may perplex woman, but 1t cannot make her angry. And this was proof of it.
 "Is there anything I can do for you, Reggie?" Her voice was low and sympathetic. What about the sapphire ring?"
 If you mean you want the money back. haven't got it yet"

UMBLE MUST SERVE
Supreme Court Affirms Decision of
 Local Tribunal

Montgom cry, April 13.-(Special.)- Insanity failed Jolnsie Umble of Jeff ferson county in his effort to avoid a life sentence for the murder of his wife. The supreme court Thursday affirmed the judgment of the Jeffer- son circuit court imposing tho in- stance.
 UmbIe killed his wife and sister, in-law and shot himself. He pleaded insanity but the jury cast aside the plea. He sought another trial on the ground that the trial judge failed to summon a regular jury and a special venire for his t-ial. The supreme court said this was an error. but not an error which deprived Umple of any rights.

 Q-Is it too late to plant alfalfa in the black belt? S., Demopolis

The Story Thus Fars

Camille Westbrook has gone to South Africa with Dolly Mortimer, her little butterfly friend. who has made the trip from London to join her husband at Johannesburg. Elliot Glyn, in love with Camille, has made the trip with them. Camille has in her possession valuable ring which she has accepted. as security for a loan, from Reggie Van Tuyl, young man about town always in financial difficulties. On shipboard and in South Africa attempts are made to get the ring from her and on the lawn after dinner at Lady Kill mornys at Durban Camille one night thinks she sees Reggies face behind the hedge. Elliot sees her push through the hedge to investigate and thinks she is meeting Reggie and Is hurt. However. they make matters up later on and then start on mo- tor ride through the Valley of Thousand Hills, to the home of wid- ower. friend of Elliot's.
 Just as they are about to go into dinner that night a late guest. who is to be Camille's partner, arrives. It Is Reggie Van Tuyl.
 At dinner Reggie tries to give the impression that there is an under standing between himself and Camille and he denies her assertion that she has seen him. in South Africa, say ing he has only that morning arrived.
 They all take the same sleeper for J Johannesburg. As they are going to bed that night Reggie, as If by ac- cident, gives Elliot shove so that he falls off the moving train.
 Glyn lands in a pile of hay and Is uninjured, and climbs back aboard the train. Next morning at breakfast Reggie seems upset.
 He is much surprised when Glyn turns up and insists on treating the incident as an accident.
 That day Elliot makes Camille promise to marry him.
 They reach Johannesburg and Ca mille tells Reggie she Is engaged.

 She did not finch.
