 New Store


 SYLACAUGA, Ala, Oct. c7.-(Spe- ciaI)-Sylacauga continues to enjoy the building boom and now it has turned from the residential section to the business district, where new houses can be seen going up on all sides. There seems to be a general expansion in the wholesale district, where all the houses are enlarging by adding additional warehouses. The business in that section has grown so much that some of the dealers are beginning to complain of the heavy work that Is taxing the capacity of the forces to handle. All are reliev- ing the situation as best they can by the additional floor space.
 G. W. Howard is erecting a new store house on Third street, and it is rumored that others will soon go up. The general prosperity is evidenced by the successful fair week which has just closed. After a few days of rain the fair closed with the largest attendance on the final day ever recorded in the history of the organization.

H. Hart was re- leased from rail late Friday night and returned to Phenix City.
 Hart had bean in jail since Monday morning, having been arrested at the instance of Deputy Fire Marshall Shaffer, on suspicion of having been connected vita the firing of the house. The many rumors have been run down only to find that they were without foundation. Several clues at first entertained have also been abandoned; the stains on the cloth ing upon analysis disclosed that they were not blood stains end the autop- sy failed 10 jurrish any clue. The murder theory has fallen because the witnesses atated to the officers that the cries If the children were heard while the building was in flames but that it was impossible to reach and save them.
