POLITICS IN OLD LIMESTONE.
Hortons Nomination Verified - Popuists to
 Put Out Ticket.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Athens, Ala, March 26.-The democratic executive committee of Limestone county met today to canvass the vote cast in the primaries last Saturday. After correcting all irregularities, which were few, Horton was declared the nominee for probate judge by a plurality of F over the field, instead of 24, as at first reported.
 Some excitement was caused by the ru- nor that the Daly men would contest the result, but such did not materialze. The remainder of the county ticket was de- clared nominated as stated in The Age-Her- ald of Sunday last. The newly elected ex- ecutive committee was organized with John H. Peebles as chairman and W. R. Walker as secretary. MT. Peebles has been chair man of the county committee for many years. He made few appropriate remarks to the old committee and congratulated them upon the fact that their term had seen the well-nigh perfect reuniting of the white people of the county Nine-tenths of the white voters of the county participated in the late primaries.
 It is reported that the populists will place a ticket in the field It's makeup cannot be now given. It is further reported that the republicans will also have out a ticket for county officers. There has been some Oscar R. Hundley, being the republican candidate for probate judge. A mass meet ing for the 18th of April was called for the selection of delegates to the chancery and state conventions.

POLITICAL TREACHeRY.
That Is What the Friends of Judge Banks
 Call It.
From the Oakman News.

From the Oakman News
 The judicial committee of this circuit met at Jasper on Saturday last to decide as to whether the people should name the can- didate for jddge or whether the candidates themselves should do the naming. Ostensi- bly, that was not the purpose of the meet ing, but in reality that was what it meant. At superficial glance, everything looks fair and all right but when we read be- tween the lines, 1t puts on a different as- pect. We figure the matter out about thusly: Three of the candidates have com- bined against the fourth Judge Banks), and have arranged their little plans to make sure of his defeat. In most cases, however, methods of this kind (when found ouD revert back the perpetra tors and cause their defeat, 1t ought to do. The kidnapping of the delegate from Winston and keeping him out of the convention was one of the most daring feats of political treachery that has ever come to our knowl- edge. Heretofore the News has not es- poused the cause of any man; personally, however, we were for one of the other can- didates. But unless we can be made to see things in a different light from the present, the News is for Judge Banks and in for a fight to the finish. The good citizens of Walker Winston and Jefferson are com potent to say who they want to preside over them in their courts, and they are going to do it.

JUDGE JAMES ]. BANKS.
Strong Endorsement From Morgan County
 Paper.

From the Decatur News.
 We note that the contest for circuit judge in the Tenth judicial circuit is becoming warm, and that determined effort is be- ing made to defeat the distinguished judge whose name heads this article.
 If this is so, we regret 1t, for no man ever came to Morgan county, and presided over a court, that made himself so univer- sally popular as did Judge Banks. He came here last summer and presided over the special term of our circuit court that had been convened to try the three negroes charged with rape, and his rulings were so apparently fair and impartial, and he man. ifested so much executive ability in con- trolling the large crowd that was in at tendance upon the court, that he excited the admiration of the people.
 If it were left to the voters of Morgan county, his renomination would be as sured and we sincerely trust that the peo- pie of Jefferson, Walker and Winston counties will re-elect him.
 In this day and time the people cannot be too careful in selecting men to preside over their courts of justice. If man has been tried and found to be competent, faithful honest and sober, then he should be reelected because in the hands of such a man the rights of the people will never suffer. In addition to this, Judge Banks is a young man, and we need vigor and vim and capacity for work in our judges; the old days have passed away and a man is esteemed now not only for his integrity but if he dispatches the business of the courts the people realize that he is earning the salary that is paid for his work We trust Judge Banks may be renominated by his constituents.

They Are Ready for Action
Special to The Age-Herald.

Anniston, March 26.-The three military companies in Anniston and Oxford are ready for action whenever the command comes. One of the companies, however will be placed in a rather embarrassing position should marching orders be re- ceived within the next three or four days The Woodstock Guards, of this city, are without guns. Three weeks ago the guards were ordered to box and ship their old guns to Springfield, Mass, to be exchanged for new guns. The guns. forty-fve in num- Der, were shipped without delay, but the new guns have not yet arrived. The mem- bers of the guards are willing to do their share of fighting, but some of them feel that they will look little awkward march ing to the front armed only with clubs and a war-like spirit. It is rumorea here today that the guns are in Montgc rry and that they will be available in a day or two.

ought to do, until it is changed. we think that It's evil tendencies should be counter acted by every legal and constitutional means.
 8. Custom in this state, which said custom was made by the supreme court judges themselves, heretofore counteracted the evil tendencies of that defective con stitutional provision, and should be acqui- esced in so long as the judges coming with in its scope and effect are capable of fill ing the chief justleeship.
 4. We can find no good reason, beyond mere impulses of sentiment, why Judge Coleman should have been selected to vio- late that custom, when-tt is admitted by Judge Coleman's best legal friends that he is not the superior in legal ability, or in any of the material qualifications necessary for the office, to Judge Mcclellan.
 Not only has it been the invariable rule in Alabama, with our defective constitu- tional provision for election, to elevate the next judge in line of promotion, and when that was not possible, to go outside or the incumbents on the bench and select the chief justice from the outside, but history shows that the supreme court of the United States under the appointive system, has invariably followed the same rule.
 The reason of this is quite plain, and is exactly in accord with our position in this unfortunate controversy.
  the system of appointment, the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States, or their over jealous friends, were tempted at times to engage in an undig- nifed and unseemly scramble for the ap- pointment to the chief justiceship, and in every instance, where the next in line of promotion by seniority of service was not advanced, the president went outside of the court and elevated distinguished members of the bar, or of the Judiciary other than the supreme court to the chief justiceship. This rule was observed with In the memory of many of us in the in- stances of Judge Morrison R. Waite's ele- yation to the chief justiceshp of the su- preme court of the United States by Pres- ident Grant, and latterly by President Cleveland's appointment of the present chief justice, Melville w. Fuller. All the way down from Chief Justice John Day to Chief Justice Fuller the rule has applied.
 Why then should Coleman's friends ig- nore the example set by the judges of the supreme court of the United States, as well as by the judges of the supreme court of the state of Alabama?
 Unless Judge Colemans friends can ad- vance more plausible arguments than they have done up to this time, we, as an inde- pendent paper, shall continue to advocate an observance of the rule laid down by the supreme court of the United States, as well as by the supreme court of the state of Alabama and shall do all in our power to elect Judge Mcclellan.

The Chief Justiceship
From the Mobile Item.

From the MoDlle Item.
 In the unfortunate controversy between Judge Mcclellan and Judge Coleman for the chief justiceship of the supreme court of Alabama, we have ar opportunity to dis tinctly emphasize 2 position which has always been assumed and which will con- tinue to be occupied by us as an indepen- dent paper.
 In advocating the cause and emnently just claim of Judge Mcclellan, the ques- tion that he is a democrat cuts no figure with us. The fact that he claims as his residence home in a northern county in stead of a southern county, has nothing to do with the case. Whether he was an original Johnston man or a Dick Clarke man, is of no moment to us. Whether he ships his cotton to Mobile, or whether or not he raises any cotton at all, has no bearing whatever upon the chief justice ship.
 These are matters which appeal almost entirely to mere sentiment, and might be conclusive, if addressed to lot of old wo- men, or young children, but we do not see how they can affect the judgment of men who are vested under the law with the great responsibility of voting and who have the power to select a chief justice, the highest and most dignifed office in this state, dependent upon their votes.
 Neither shall it swerve us from the strict path of duty that we are compelled to pull in unison with Gov. Johnston and HIS pOntlCal 1rlenuS III MODlle. IT SOV. Johnston and the so-called Big Four shall succeed in electing such man as Thomas N. Mcclellan chief justice of the supreme court and thereby retaining his magnificent talents and services as one of our highest Judicial functionaries they will perform a service which will stamp them as men of sense and high patriotic motives, and we can almost forgive them for whatever else they may do, either as citizens or poli- tcians
 The high ground which we take is em- bodied in the following propositions:
 list. We deprecate the constitutional pro- vision which compels the Judges of our highest court to get down into the dirt of politics. and for that reason have always favored the method of appointment pre- scribed by the constitution of the United States.
 2. Living under state constitution which we believe to be extremely defective in that regard, and, yet being bound by 1t, and acquiescing, as all good citizens

 DESPERADO'S DOOM SEEMS TO BE SEALED Reign of the Bandits in Lamar
 County at an End ONE TURNSSTATES EVIDENCE  Convicts the Whole Gang by Pleading Guilty to Charge of Murder-PrisOnerS Will Be
 Brought to Birmingham for
 Safe Keeping.
ONE TURNSSTATES EVIDENCE
Special to the Age-HeraId.

Kennedy, March 26-The chain of evil dence around Coote Long VIII McCuLagh and A. W. Rowland, the outlaws who were arrested some time ago for the murder Of a negro in this Lamar county, seems to be conclusive.
 Detective Bodeker has been here since Monday working another end of the case which eliminated in the arrest of John T. Smothers, who was employed on the farm of Rowland. Smothers. without much ado, made a full confession duplicating the men now in jail in the murder. AS though to seal the doom of all tighter he WAS at once taken before Justice Young and en- tered a plea of guilty to the charge of mur- der. He made affidavit to the full details of the brutal murder from beginning to end
 Before this, at the instance of Solicitor Godfrey Dick Johnson, farmer, had been arrested. It was first thought that he was implicated, but further developments exon erated him. In many instances one man will suffer the penalty deserved by him self in preference to seeing it saddled on an innocent man. This was the declaration of Smothers. He said he could not bear to see Johnson, an innocent man, suffer the crime for which he and others were guilty and he told the whole story. He begged that he be taken to a jail outside of Lamar county, as he feared mob vio- lence.
 Threats of a Jail Delivery
 The friends of Long, Rowland and Me- Cullagh are exceedingly angry and threats are openly made that they wlH be released from jail. To guard against any such demonstration a request has been made that they be brought to Birmingham for safe keeping and it is thought that they will arrive there tomorrow morning. It may be that other arrests will follow.
 A strange coincidence in connection with this state of affairs is the case of Sheriff Haley, who is placed in a most embarrass- ing position. His predecessor in office was a forger and the sheriff is supposed to be on the lookout for him. His brother went wrong and was jailed. Coote Long mar ried the sheriffs sister and McCullagh welded Long's sister. Now they are both in the hands of the law resting under a serious charge.
 It is believed that the reign of the ban dits is at end, it is thought there will be little difficulty in convicting those now in jail, which will serve as an object lesson. All good citizens are praising Gov ernor Johnston for the hand he has taken in the matter and Detective Bodeker for his cleverness in working up the case.

Cracked a Safe
Special to The Age-Herald.


 Decatur, March 26.-Somewhere between 1 and o'clock this morning the deposit safe of the Memphis and Charleston freight depot was blown open, it being evil dently the work of professional cracksmen. The office was entered by cutting out a large pane of plate glass The safe door was blown clear off its hinges and landed against the wainscoting on the opposite side of the office. The work was supposed to have been done with some noseless eX- plosive, as people living next to the depot heard nothing. Fortunately Agent T. G. Morrow had made heavy remittance yes- terday and the cracksmen made a water haul, getting only 60 cents and a few stamps. They left no clue whatever.
