The A. M. E. Conference.

The annual Alabama conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church has been in session here since Thursday, and will continue until next Thursday. The proceedings thus far have consisted chief ly of the disI osition of the private routine business of the conference, receiving re- ports from the various churches, etc. The most interesting feature up to this time has been the discussion of the tenn perance question. The temperance com mittee reported that in their judgment temperance consisted of total abstinence from whisky, beer, tobacco and snuff A number of the preachers took occasion to heartily indorse the sentiment expressed and Bishop Grant who Is presiding, took occasion to read his ministerial lieuten- ants lecture on temperance. Rev. J. S. Shaw of Opelika delivered a fine lecture last night on "Education."

A Constitutional Convention Needed.

The Montgomery correspondent or the Atlanta Constitution sends his paper the following, which will be of interest to the State Herald's readers
 There appears to be but little douDt that Alabama must hold a constitutional convention. For several years the state has systematically spent more than It's Income until now its floating indebted ness is something like $700,000 and in creasing all the time. When the last legislature was in session the matter of a constitutional convention was discuss ed. but the assembly passed new reve- nue law and slightly increased the tax rate and 1t was calculated that tnls would produce enough revenue to meet current expenses and gradually to re- duce the amount of floating debt.
 In this the legislature was mistaken, however The newly created county bonds of tax assessment have. pernaps. been of some value in equalizing taxes throughout their respective counties, but they have not increased the state revenue any. The state has no difficulty in borrowing all the money she needs, but it is evident the deficit must De checked. and this it is believed can best be effected through constitutional con vention.
 "The people of Alabama pay taxes enough" said an intelligent citizen this morning. "but our state and county or ganization needs reforming. Too large a proportion of our taxes go to enrichlng probate Judges and sheriffs and court clerks. There are about 1900 men in the state who make their support out or per secutIons and tri1ing and tlamped-up charges against ignorant negroes and others.
 q am disposed very much to favor a plan. the suggestion Of Which IS attrlp- lted to Governor Oates. It Is about this: To do away with probate judges and county courts, and judges and clerks, and divide the state into about twenty Judicial circuits, each circuit to be pre- sided over by judge. In each county a probate clerk would be appointed. who should have charge of the records and the probating of the county, under the supervision of the circuit judge and clerk. These officers should all be on a salary, and the judge and clerk should be ap- pointed by the legislature The number of Justices of the peace and constables should be greatly reduced, and these officers also should be put on salaries.
 "The saving that this would work to the state and to the people of the state would be astonishing. Alabama has six ty-six counties, and with twenty clrcult Judges would be about three counties to a circuit The probate judges and the court house gangs have for fifteen years dominated the state. and have composed the ring about which so much has been said and written. I think the best way we can get rid of it is by means of a con- stitutional convention Such a conven- tion could scarcely assemble in less than six months. The governor would have to call special meeting of the legisla- ture and have them pass bill provid- ing for the convention, and then "a ma jority of the people of the state would have to vote in favor of 1t before 1t could assemble It appears to me that the more promptly we act the better off we will be in every particular

No HONEST, fair minded man need

place these people before any other on
the frontier for liberality of sentiment,
toleration and hospitality. We see no
difference in their patronage of Nor
mons and gentiles. There is none, and
the efforts by outside papers to work up
this sort of prejudice against them
must fail, because it is utterly false.
