The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely

l have no idea that the bill will be passed
by this body. 1t contemplates legislation
tat is vicious, dangerous, hurtful and I'M
democratic. 1t seeks to legislate man out
of office, or at least that is the pracucal
effect of it. 1t takes away practically all
the fees of the register in chancery of

the expenses of the taxpayers, but simply
takes the fees and emoluments OF one OIL
Ger away from him and gives them to an
other. Why this sudden paroxysm of in
dignatlon against the present mode of NAM
ing chancellor? For over forty years this
power has been vested in the chancellor to
name his register and for over twenty-four
position and was the beneficiary OF it's fees
anu emoluments of the office without any
protest from any one My esteemed col

After the Worthless Ours
The worthless cur" is receiving a great
deal of attention by the present assembly
There were introduced in the house today
two bills which may make it uncomforta-
BILE for him. Mr.. Davidson, of Jefferson
wants all dogs prevented from running at
large unaccompanied by his master unless
a collar Is worn as receipt for an annual

would have the school fund of the state in
creased by imposing annual tax of 81 on
all dogs. 1t is estimated that there are
about half million dogs in the state and
If one dollar was collected on each 1t would
almost double the public school fund.- 1t
is not probable that anything like half this
amount could be collected, however.
Bessemer Police Commission
There is a strong Bessemer delegation
