times it takes weeks after the return

CRIMINAL COURT BILL.

There was considerable discussion yes- terday pro and con on what is known as the Birmingham Criminal Court Bill" introduced by Representative Altman In order that the people of Birmingham may be thoroughly advised as to the merits of the bill before 1t becomes law, the State Herald prints the bill this morning in full. The bill is of vital in- terest to the city. and its effect and work ings should have the serious considera- tion of every citizen. The State Herald has not had the time to investigate the merits of the measure, and therefore has no criticism to offer as yet It strikes us, however, as a matter that should not be draughted through on the spur of the moment and being a local measure of more than ordinary import, the people should be given an opportunity to pass Judgment before it becomes a law.

away to be easily reached, and their at- tention has never baen called to the south. My honest conviction is that by proper advertising from now until next winter that the tide can be turned southward over the Louisville and Nashville, to be followed by an increasing volume every year, for many years to come. But I don't care to open my columns for such generous advertising purely for the glory of Alabama, and the profit of the Louis vile and, Nashville railroad But if I can make some arrangement with land owners or real estate dealers whereby, as MT. Jones suggested, can work this end and they the other, to our mutual profit. am ready to put all my force and energy into it. Thanking you for your counsel. and trusting that all things may end we'll, am yours very truly.
 GEO. T. ASHLEY.
 The State Herald believes that Ala bama should have a commissioner of inn migration, and that much time be devoted to developing and causing to become prominent factors in the promotion of immigration to our state parties like MT. Ashley, as they with their newspapers could bring to Alabama large numbers of the best of farmers etc., to buy lands and become valuable citizens. If the state prefers to pay her commissioner a certain sum per head for people located in the state in place of salary (paying his travelling expenses, same as though upon a salary), making his remuneration dependent upon his success in working up the business, then give him liberal commission upon all he locates in Ala hov,
