Sergeant O'Keefe of the convict farm In

not get more than four or five bales, the

Two Candidates in Houston
in Interest of Their
Campaign
Dothan, November 21.—(Special.)—Among
the prominent visitors to Dothan yester
day were Charies Henderson and Charles
H. Greer.
In speaking of the issues of the present
campaign, Mr. Henderson said:
“I find the people of this section no
different from the people of other sec
tions. They are interested in the finan
cial affairs of the state. They have
been paying taxes on inflated valuations
made by fee officers. This has been
made necessary by the profligacy of state
administrations.* This state of extrav
agance has continued since 1907. The peo
ple are interested not only in how this
money has been spent, but likewise inter
ested in what is going to be done by fu- ,
tore administrations. There are some
candidates that they had rather hear from
as to what they would not than as to
what action they would take if elected
governor. •
“While documents are meant for publl- 1
cation, they are not always made public; !
and some of my opponents are complain
ing of my giving publicity to certain fig
ures that are taken from public docu
ments. The correctness of the figures has
never been questioned, but they complain
that they should be put in a different
light from what they are. My purpose has
been not to color in any manner, but to
present them as they are, and the public
is able to reach its own conclusions as
to whether or not they desire a continua
tion of the extravagance in state govern
ment into which we have drifted.”

BUEHLER BROS. S.
Water Grade Line From St.
Louis to Colon Was Goal
of Ambition
Yoakum's dream of empire was the
climax of a hearing yesterday before
the Interstate commerce commission,
when he was being inlerrogated con
cerning the affairs of the F'risco, says
the St. 1anils Globe-Democrat.
The hearing had practically closed
when Mr. Yoakum began In simple
language to tell one of the greatest
railroad dreams and projects ever con
ceived and which only the trouble in
Mexico prevented from materializing.
This, in substance, was a water
grade line from St. Louis to Colon, on
the Panama canal—the longest water
grade line—a line with such Impercep
tible grades that trains carrying a
tonnage as great as any of the steam
ships leaving New Orleans could move
over them easily and swiftly. .
Mr. Yoakum explained step by step
how the F'risco, with the Mexican Na
tional railway, had built a bridge
across the Ftio Grande at Brownsville,
connecting that point with the Mexico
National; told of the proposition that
Secretary of Finance Limantour of
Mexico had agreed to, by which the
Mexico National was to build a line
from Honey to Tuxpam, and the Yoak
um line was to be continued on to
Colon, almost due south, tapping the
resources of seven republic, reducing
the mileage to the City of Mexico more
‘.hail 200 miles and entering the great
oil fields of Tampico. In return for the
grain and cotton of the north the
Yoakum line was to bring back the
tropical products of this country, a
tonnage moving through the Missis
sippi valley economically and in vast
quantities.
He also told of finding the stakes
Which were driven 40 years ago by
curve;, ing parties under A. J. Cassatt,
I n sklent of the Pennsylvania Railroad
compuny, for a line into this country
practically identical to that which Mr
Yoakum so nearly realized, and that
the expense of tills survey was borne
by Hie United States government and
the republic of Mexico.
Mr. Yoakum stated that lie had mom
ornr.du and documents showing the ac
tive co-operation of the Mexican gov
ernm-.'ijt in this proposition and dem
onstrated that if this line had been
built and coubl have been operated un
disturbed. that the prosperity of tln
l'risco would have been practically un
equaled, lie cited as an example that
even with a bridge across the Riu
Grande from Brownsville to Muta
nt eras, that prior to tile war between
J.» ano uO cars a day were moved, and
that It was only a question of weeks
before 100 or more cars a day would
come through that gateway, and this
was only an entrance into the terri
tory.

NEW TENNESSEE
LIOR LAW HELD
INVALID BY JUDGE
Citizens Allowed to Order
Liquor From Outside
of the State With
out Limit
Nashville, November 21.—Chancellor
John Allison held today invalid pro
visions of the recently enacted liquor
shipping law which limits interstate
shipments for personal or family use
to one gallon and requires the carrier
to give information of the consign
ment to the county olCrk.
Judge Allison held that citizens of
Tennessee may order from without the
state intoxiating liquors for himself
and family without limit. That the
carrier may not be compelled to fur
nteh Information of tht1 consignment to
the county official, but under the
Webb-Kenyon act and the act of Ten
nessee the consignee may be required
by the carrier to sign a statement de
claring his intentions as to use of the
shipment. The court held that the one
gallon limitation was interference with
interstate commerce and that the pro
vision-regarding the certificate to the;
county official was contrary to the
acts of Congress.
The test of the law was made by
W. O. Parmer, a wealthy turfman.
! An appeal will be taken.
IN LAWLER CASE
Madison Jurist Seeks to
Have Grand Jury’s Report
Struck From Records
1 Montogmer.v, November 21.—(Special.)
Argument on tlie petition for a mandamus
to strike from tlie records the repot t
of the grand jury of Madison county,

bate Judge W. T. Lawler, was heard
by the supreme court of Alabama to
day. Judge Lawler was represented by
! Lawrence Cooper and Judge Fall Speake,
both of Huntsville, and the state by At

The petition for a mandamus to re
quire Judge J. H. Ballentine of the Mad
ison law and equity court to order th*‘
grand jury's report struck from the rec
ords of tiie court is based on the ground
that during the jury's deliberation five of
the grand jury were excused and five
others substituted in their place. Attor
neys for Judge Lawler claimed that this
was illegal.
The case was argued for several hours
Friday morning, after which it was taken
under consideration by the court. The
coifrt’s decision will probably not be an
nounced until next week.
Pending the court’s decision Attorney
General Brickell will take no action in
the impeachment case. I’nder the law
it is made mandatory for him to insti
tute proceedings upon the recommenda
tion of the grand jury, blit ne will not
file any papers in the case at present
unless the court refuses to grant the
petition for a mandamus.

JACKSONVILLE MILL-WATER
FIGHT BECOMES IN TERES TING
IIy IIAIIII \ M. AVKRM
Anniston, November 21.—(Special.)- An i
interesting development in the fight be- j
tween the Calhoun W ater company of An
niston and the Profile Cotton mills of
Jacksonville, as a result of which tlie
mills have been closed down and without
water for over a week, came Friday in
the city court of Anniston, when Judge!
Thomas \V. Coleman, Jr., issued a tem
porary restraining order against the water ;
company to prevent the use of. the water1
which flows over and across its lands
by the profile Cotton mills. The mills
have been closed down for over a week.
1600 people being without water and light.
A representative of the water company
stated Friday that this action was taken (
without notice to the compuny. “The own
ers of the water company will immedi
ately apply to Judge Coleman for a va< ;i
tion of the restraining order, and feel con
fident that when the facts are fully and
properly presented to him such restraining
order will be dissolved and the ownership
and enjoyu#*nt of their property restored j
to its owners.
“The alleged equity set up In the bill I
is that, having without consideration and !
without compensation allowed the Idol
Cotton mills and the Profile Cotton mills,
their successors, the rigid to use their |
land, they have thereby forfeited the
right to complain of its continued and per
manent use. I lie Calhoun Water com
pany claims that it cannot be divested of
Its property in this way. The temporary
restraining order was issued on an ex
parte statement of facts on the part of
the Profile Cotton mills."
Apropos of this action. Col. H. D.
Stevenson of Jacksonville was in Annis
ton Thursday afternoon, and stated that
he contemplates instituting suit to es
tablish the ownership of a big spring in
volved in the tight between the water
company and the mills, believing that the
title to the spring belongs to the city of
Jacksonville. The people of that city, lie
says, are praying for an early settlement
of the difference, as mill hands are leav
ing and the Industrial interests of the
town are being injured.
