Handling of Whisky .Shipment (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBUS, Ga., April 7.—The first legal proceeding: with a view of testing: the recent Webb bill, passed by con gress over the president’s veto, origi nates in Girard, Ala., and the eaAe promises to be far-reaching in that it is to be in the nature of a test of the provisions of the new law. Proceedings came in the nature of a surprise, being instigated by H. T. Cot- tington, of Talbot county, Ga., who filed a petition for mandamus against the Southern Express company, to com pel that corporation to handle a ship ment of whisky sent to the Columbus office from an agent representing Got- tington in Girard, Ala, y According to the petition filed in the Muscogee county superior court-4he pe titioner ordered by mail on March 28 two gallons of liquor from the Sprinkle Distilling company, at Girard, with in structions to ship by express from Co lumbus.

The petitioner prays that the case do ' heard within ten days, when a request will be made for a permanent mandam us in order tjiat the Southern Express may not only 'be forced to handle this shipment, but any other that may be desired. It is stated that counsel has been em ployed and that a spirited legal battle will be waged, every inch of ground being gone over in view of the fact ♦hat the case is in the shape of a test cf the provisions of the new law. It is the first of its kind brought in this *ection, or possibly in the state, and widespread interest is felt in its out come.

Va., April 3.— Coal operators of Paint and Cabin Jf* .Creeks, Kanawha county, have ad- '*■'* dressed a letter to Governor Hatfield ' * In reply to the proposal of President John P. White, of the United Mine Workers of America, to end the strike of the coal miners in this section. The statement makes a specific denial of alleged grievances of the miners as "**• stated* by President White, and declares -r-’- thft operators will ncrt have any deal- 'ings with the United* Mine Workers of -America.

The entire town would have been de stroyed except for the heroic work of the citizens. The fire is said to have originated in a pressing club in the rear of E. F. Christian’s grocery store.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 5.—The session of the Florida legislature here Tuesday, April 8, promises to be en livened by a vigorous fight to secure the calling of a constitutional conven tion, and an active effort on the part of the Florida anti-saloon league to secure the adoption of a resolution pro viding for an election on a statewide prohibition amendment to the constitu tion. The advocates of a constitutional convention claim the state has out grown its present constitution, adopted in 1885. The legislature also will be called upon to act on the proposed amendment to the national constitution providing for the direct election of United States senators by the people. Many other subjects of general in terest are to be presented for considera tion and action. Among these is a recommendation of Governor Park Trammell that the state adopt a bank guarantee law. TAX SYSTEM REVISION. The special tax commission created by the legislature of 1911 to study the tax system of the state and recom mend changes will make its report through the governor and will ask 'for an entire remodeling of the system of taxation, divorcing state from county taxation. Under the system to be sug gested the state would derive its re venues from railroads, telegraph, and telephone lines and from occupational license taxes, while all local property, real an- personal, would be assessed for county revenue only. Under the present system the state derives a revenue from taxing real and personal property. The law requires that all property shall be assessed at full cash value, but this is never done, some counties placing the valuation 'for taxation as low as twenty per cent of real value. As there is no state board of equalization this makes the burden of state taxation bear heavily on those counties where the assessors strive to do their duty and as near as possible obey the law. It is to adjust these inequalities that the change is sug gested. French Anarchist Waiting for Trial Commits Suicide (By Associated Press.)

TRAINED NURSE sr Remarks about Nourishing Food S “A physiciah’s wife gave me a pack age of. Grape-Nuts one day, with the fy remark that she was sure I would find i - the food very beneficial, both foi\ my pwn use and 'for my patients. I was particularly attracted to the food, as at *hat time the weather was very hot and I appreciated the fact that Grape-Nuts requires no cooking. “The food was deliciously crisp, and most inviting to the appetite. After making use of it twice a day for three or four weeks, I discovered that it was a most wonderful invigorator. I used to suffer greatly from exhaustion, head aches and depression of spirits. My work had been very trying .at times i and indigestion had set in. J “Now, I am always well and ready n for any amount of work, have an abun dance of active energy, 'cheerfulness and mental poise. I have proved to 1 my entire satisfaction that this change • has been brought about by Grape-Nuts food. J “The fact that it is predigested is a > very desirable feature.

The question as to whether the association should favor a pension fund obtained through assessments against active em ployes, a h-df employe and half gov ernment contributory or a full govern ment fund plan, caused considerable discussion.

The membership already is the largest in the organization’s ex istence. The plan of the board of education to give $1 to the teachers for every boy en rolled in the club by them, has brought excellent results Prof. Lee Jones, of Dawnville school, sent in nineteen names, which, if the other teachers had duplicated, would give to the county a club of 800 boys.

MACON, Ga., April 5.—Announcement was made here tonight by Alexander kerman, United States attorney for the southern district of Georgia, that he will lay before a federal grand jury in Au gusta, during the term starting there Monday morning, evidence looking to the indictment of the American Cotton Oil company, of New York, under the Shermas anti-trust law. It will be charged that this company, with branches and affiliations in every cotton state in the union, has fixed and attempted to fix arbitrarily the price of cotton seed from the producers. One hundred and forty witnesses from evefy branch of the cotton seed industry have been subpoesaed to appear. Mr. Akerman has been working on the case for eighteen months and was in structed to spare no expense in gather ing information. As cotton seed and its products make up about one-fifth of the produce of the cotton plant, the industry embraces an annual turnover of $100,000,000. Mr. Akerman brought the suit against the American Naval Stores company for violation of the Sherman law, and against the Merchants and Miners* Transportation company for granting re bates, the latter company paying a fine of $20,000 at Savannah recently. The naval stores case is pending. About a year ago Mr. Akerman was assigned by the department of justice as special “trust buster,” working direct with the United States attorney gen eral.

The al lies have taken a stiff necked independ ent attitude and refuse to accept or ders from the powers. The question is, If it becomes necessary to coerce them, how can that be done? The allies realize this, and realize that the concert of Europe is not har monious as a month ago. The present policy of the Balkan states is to de bate the pea.ee terms and continue the war, at least until Montenegro has eap- ♦ured Scutari. The s. lallest kingdom in Europe con tinues to defy the six great powers. King Nicholas talks freely to inter viewers, declaring that he will take and keep the town, which he considers nec essary to the prosperity of his king dom. Light warships ar© blockading his pjrt, but with the exception of Austria-j Hungary and Germany this measure is; being executed reluctantly. Thes e two powers alone demanded that Scutari b© incorporated in the state of Albania, and the other four powers have joined with them apparently merely for the Public opinion of Great Britain and Russia in strongly in favor of Monte negro. The British newspapers are al most unanimous in expressing admira tion and sympathy for the brave moun taineers. Montenegro has made the greatest sacrifices of any of th e allies and gained the least and the English people do not want to see the profits of vic tory taken from her. They remember the Greeks’ declaration early in the war that the allies should keep what they gained.

Treasury Officials WASHINGTON, April 5.~Preparation for reorganization “of the customs serv ice -on July 1 are well under way by Secretary McAdoo. Two features of the plans as sent to congress by former President Taft, and thereby made law, are worrying treas ury officials. Against the recommen dation of the treasury department, Mr. Taft made Jacksonville th e headquar ters of the Florida district. Treasury officials urged Tampa because its an nual customs receipts are said to be $1,800,000, while the receipts at Jack sonville are said to be only $27,000. Tampa is protesting vigorously. In another part of his message to congress Mr. Taft made Norfolk the headquarters of the Virginia district, and in another section referred to Nor folk and Newport News as the joint headquarters for Virginia. The latter was the treasury department’s recom mendation, but officials believe that Mr. Taft meant to make Norfolk the headquarters. They are endeavoring to interpret this feature of the plan. Some protest ha.s been received from Newport News.
