ADJUSTMENTS
HER. MARRIAGE. VOW. scores
heartily to- large crowds At the
Colonial Yesterday


Last night at the Colonial Theatre.
"Her Marriage Vow" the Warner
Brothers screen version Of the Owen
Davis stage play had it's premiere
opening. This picture easily excelled
many others we have seen here for
pictorial beauty and clever acting.
Beverly Bayne renewed her ac-
quaintance with the moving picture
camera after an absence of three
years. And we are pleased to say
that she has not lost any of her
former beauty or acting skill. Monte
Blue o-starred with Beverly Bayne
and never before did any team OF
actors receive such prolonged ap-
plause for their wonderful acting.
Their work throughout the picture
was of intense pathos interspersed
with subtle comedy.
John Roche and Margaret Living
ston were in the cast and both play
ed their parts very well.
Willard Webb adapted and directed
this powerful photoplay. 1t is n
Warner Bros. Classic Of the Screen.

DALLAS SHAVING
 STILL DISSOLVED
Six Men Arrested In Case Are Given Free
 dom

SELMA, Ala, July 18.-(Special.) J. Upon motion of Solicitor General Jo- seph James warrants charging three white men and three negroes with the murder of Houston Campbell three weeks ago in the swamp above Sum- merfield, when he was found dead with three shots in his back, were dismissed yesterday in the Dallas county inferior court, Judge Berry presiding.
 The action of the solicitor in nolle pressing the cases restored their liberty to Jesse Davis, Henry Cole and w. G. Gillis, white men and A. B. Blevins, Will Smith and Taylor Stoudemire, negroes. It was said there was insuf- ficient evidence to convict.
 The killing still remains a mystery.

WOOL CONTINUES
 TO SHOW STRENGTH
Foreign Markets Better, Com
 merciaI Review Reports

BOSTON, July 1S.-The Commercial bulletin will say tomorrow:
 "The strength of the previous two weeks in raw wool has developed to an even greater extent during the past week, and prices are anywhere from 3 to 10 per cent below the low point of three for four weeks ago. It seems to- ward the weekend that this initial buy ing movement has spent itself to con- siderable extent which would be no more than natural since the buying was in all probability largely in the nature of insurance against the requirements of the mills in the coming lightweight season. All told, however, the movement of wool in the past two weeks has been much above normal average in volume, probably amounting to twenty or twen- ty-five million pounds.
 'SThe foreign markets are better this week, leftover wOOls in the primary markets being sold readily while Brad ford has marked up tops in some in stances a penny a pound.
 ''The west is being rapidly cleared of its wOOls, the new clip probably hay ing been S5 per cent sold with prices showing hardening tendency.
 "As for the goods markets, there is a better tone with little change in prices or the volume of repeat orders.
 "MOhair is rather quiet and barely steady in price"

 Southern Tracks

MOBILE, July 1S-James A. Green a negro, arrested late last night in ( swamp after a chase by a posse and placed in the county jail here, charged with attempted train wrecking, was taken to Washington county, Alabama, today for trial.
 Had not a section foreman been speeding down the track few minutes ahead of the Southern passenger train, No. g, due in Mobile last night, would have been wrecked at Slade, Washing ton county.
 Because the foreman was there and discovered the attempt five minutes before the train was due, the train wrecking was averted.

SILHOUETTES OF STATE CAPITOL
lStata Canifal Rnreau.l

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 1S.-Bob Vail, Baldwin county editor, was a visitor to the capitol today, and voiced the characteristic Baldwin county opti- mism. Low prices for certain truck crops produced in Baldwin county dur ing the last season were fully offset by the heavy production, he stated. A recent trip over the state failed to re- veal crop conditions anywhere equal to those of Baldwin county, Mir. Vail said.
 MT. Vail is preparing, so his friends declare, to emulate the example of the trio of "has been" newspaperman who today are installed in the cool seclusion of the state capitol. Frank Julian, state superintendent of insurance s. H. Blan,, secretary of state, and Chester Johnson, state fire marshal, are all former newspapermen, whose action in obtaining high official positions with the state has proven an inspiration to MT. Vail, so it is stated.
 At any rate, friends of the Boldwin county editor assert that he will not be permitted to langliish in his edito- ing him for the office of secretary of StdIet saI the HSAI eieClIon. MI. oAA has not as yet announced his candidacy, but friends assert that he will answer the call when the proper time arrives.
 Another state Is interested in the system of milk control employed in Ala bama, l.. c. Frank of the United States public health service, has re- gently returned from South Carolina, where he went at the request of the board of health of that state to ex- plain the Alabama system of milk con trol. It was learned that Texas had similarly applied for information, and Virginia has now been added to the list of states which wish to know about Alabama's milk program. Mir. Frank will go to Virginia to explain the Ala bama system the latter part of July, and the Texas early in August. 2.
