 County Solicitor
AGAINST D. A. GREEN AND H. HEFLIN
Henry B. Gray Mentioned as Manager of County Campaign-Canddates for County Com missioner-AppIicants for Clerk
 of Inferior Criminal Court.

The announcement was formally gwen out yesterday that William K. Terry of the Birmingham bar would be candidate for the appointment of reporter of the supreme court next fall.
 This decision on MT. Terrys part was not suddenly made, for he and his friends have known it for some time. Nor does MT.
 Terry enter the race blindly. for he has received letters from prominent men all over the state assuring him of their support and recommending him for the position. The bars of several cities have also recom- mended him.
 Mr. Terry was graduated from the law
 school of the University of Virginia in 1889.
 He has been actively engaged in the prac- tice of law in this city ever since. MT Ter rvs friends claim that his recognized ablI- ity as lawyer and his loyalty to the dem- ocratic party. and especially to the Chi cago platform, entitle him to the office he asks for.
 tion, so far as is known, is Phares Cole man, the present incumbent.
 For County Solicitor It was rumored on the streets yesterday that w. K. White would be a candidate before the next general assembly of Ala bama for solicitor of Jefferson county There are already two candidates for the position, Dan A Green and H. P. Hehn. MT. White, when seen by an Age-Herad reporter, said that he was not prepared to say whether he would be candidate or not; that he had been feeling his way" so to speak, and that from the letters and assurances he had had from legislative | nominees all over the state he felt greatly | encouraged to make the race. MT. White | has numerous friends, who are urging him | to make the race, and they say he stands
 an excellent chance of being elected. Registration of Voters The voters of Birmingham are coming up | very slowly in the matter of registration | for the state elections to be held on Mon- | day, Hlgust 1, and the congressional elec- | tion ~ Tuesday, November 8. TlE books have been open since May for this purpose, yet out of the 5000 or | more voters in the corporate limits of Bir- mingham only about 210 have registered. | This b bad sign and the democratic l leaders are urging all party men to regis-
 ter at once and to induce all other demo- | crats possible to register, so that a full party vote may be boiled.
 The books remain open for thirty days, l and it will be seen from this that almost half of the time has now passed and that | only about one-twenty-fifth of the voters have registered.
 The registering places for Birmingham | are as follows:
 Precinct 21, at Eggleston's cigar stand at the court house. In beat 37, at Adams drug store, corner of Nineteenth street and second avenue. The place for registering for this beat has up to this time been at Justice Stanley's office, 11Sh Twentieth street, but it was changed yesterday after noon to the place mentioned. Under the registration law passed by the last general assembly, only voters living | in cities of over 5000 inhabitants according | to the census of 1890, will be required to register. At that time both Bessemer and l Pratt City had less than this number of l inhabitants, therefore Birmingham is the | only city in the county where registering will be required.
 The voting lists of the state election of | 1896 will be used as the registration lists | this year in all of the out of town beats. | All voters who were non-residents at that | time or who have since come of age, will be | permitted to register on election day. The registration officers are open from o'clock in the morning until in the after | noon and everybody is urged to do their | duty as citizens at once.
 The County Campaign l For some time 1t has been known among | the politicians that Chairman Robert J. | Lowe, of the county executive committee l of the democratic party would not manage | the party campaign in Jefferson county | this summer. The reason for this Is that | MT. Lowe is also chairman of the state ex- l ecutive committee, and he would not have time to manage the local campaign. On l this account, at the next meeting of the l county executive committee, campaign manager will be selected and he will be l empowered to select his assistants. Of | course it is not definitely known who this l gentleman will be; but the political gossips | have 1t that Henry B. Gray will undoubted- l ly be the man selected. They say that a | better man could not be found in the coun- | ty.
 For County Commissioner l The death of W. P. Stratford in Besse- l mer last Sunday left vacancy in the
 board of county commissioners, which is to l be filled, and there are already a number | of applicants for the position. Among them l are J. L.. Nail, H. w. Crook, Edgar l.. l Mitchell, J. K. P. Laird, Frank Prince, Jr., l R. P. McTyeire, w. T. Kennedy and sew
 eral others. The vacancy is from Bessenner | and the appointment must be made from | that section of the county. Governor | Johnston has to make the appointment, l which, by the way, lasts for two years | longer. All of the candidates are getting
 up strong petitions to send to the governor.
 For Clerk of Inferior Criminal Court. 1 Neither are the applicants for s. M. Min | gea's place as clerk ofsthe inferior criminal
 court idle Already petitions are being cir | cuiated and influence is being brought to bear on Judge Feagin urging upon him the I appointment of a certain candidate. | Among those already mentioned Tor the | place are Captain James T. Meade, John I Chisolm, Dr. J. l.. Davis, Charles Greer, l J. B. Marshall and others.
