beat meetings or primaries to that end are to be held on the 18th day of March. to be followed by county conventions on the 22d day of March. The county conventions are to select candidates for county dele gates. and also delegates to the state con- vention. But counties that desire to select all by and through primaries can do so, and in such cases county committees nre to meet on the 22d day of March for the purpose of consolidating and declaring the vote. That is to say county committee may order primaries at which the people will vote directly for their county dele yention, at the same time voting directly for their representation in the state con vention. They cannot vote directly for a senatorial delegate in the constitutional convention. The delegates to the state convention from each senatorial district are to name the districts candidate for the constitutional convention, and doubtless a plan could be devised in each senatorial district whereby the people can directly select their representative at large.
 A constitutional convention is the people acting through representatives in their orig inal capacity; and it is important that such representatives should come directly from the people. The more of popular support they can have behind them. and the less of manipulation, the nearer the instrument they prepare will represent and contain the desires of the great mass of the people, and the greater will be its majority if it be submitted to the people for approval, as it should be, and doubtless will be.

PET (FAYNE) STRAHAN
From the Anniston Index.

From the AnniStOn Index.
 "When Pet (Fayne) Strahan lived in An
 niston," said Judge Fillmore Garret, "she
 was a dainty little lady always, with a sweetness of manner that was simply fas- cinating. She would come down to play
 with my children almost daily" continued
 the judge, "and wadng in the branch formed a pleasing and picturesque feature of their pastimes. Pet was a symphony
 of innocent coyness and carried herself
 with an air of receiving compliments
 there wasn't thought of wrong-doing in
 her little head"
 An interval of ten years is supposed to
 take place between the time when the cur
 tain was rung up on the first act with
 the scene laid in Anniston, and the second
 scene of the last act, as presented in New
 York.
 Payne Strahan Moore is at present no
 less remarkable for her charm and; grace of manner. Her personality has crowded the courtroom, her sweet ways and thrilling eyes have awakened the sympathy and
 touched the feelings of the spectators. Look on the retrospective picture of pretty."Pet' wading near the old Woodstock charcoal furnaces, and then listen to the conflicting opinions of two eminent lawyers:
 This woman," says the district attor-
 ney of New York, 'has committed the most
 heinous of crimes after murder in the first
 degree. Since the amount of her bail was
 fixed in general sessions her partner in the crime of badgering has been sentenced to
 the penitentiary for nineteen years. sue
 has been accused of grand larceny. Her bail should be $10,000 under the first indict- ment and $3 000 under the second. This woman," said Payne Moore,s coun- sel, "has been tried for the crime of badg- ering. and she has not been convicted. The jury have disagreed. The extreme penalty for robbery in the first degree, or badger ing, is twenty years; for arson, forty Ar son. according to the code, is a more hein- ous crime than badger.ng. Yet the dis trict attorney exacts from this defendant a greater amount of bail than if she were accused of being an incendiary "As for the indictment for grand lar ceny, the value of the property in question is not $25O. and the district attorney does not intend-he never intended to try that

Governor Iohnston's Message.

The special message that Governor John ston sent to the legislature on Thursday relative to the commissioners of Jefferson county is not an essay on constitutional or philosophical questions; it Is business from start to finish. The report of Examiner Cowan is lucidly and candidly and fairly analysed, and the extravagance and irreg- ularities which have prevailed in the affairs of the county are made so manifest that he who runs may read.
 In substance Governor Johnston brings in a bill of indictment against the commission CTS of this county, and there are thirteen one and all on the facts unearthed by Ex- aminer Cowan. In brief, these counts charge the commissioners with unbusi- nesslike methods, careless auditing, disre- gard of the law, acceptance of unitemized and unsworn bills, nepotism, unauthorized reductions of assessments, favoritism to corporations. unlawful contracts, excessive personal payments and reckless extrava- gance. The facts in support of these charges are concisely recited by the gov- ernor, being the facts set forth in the re- port of Examiner Cowan.
 On this indictment brought by the chief executive, the case against the four com- tribunal is the legislature. There arc abun- dunt precedents in the history of the state that sustain the legislature in entertaining the case and proceeding to judgment All told, about dozen commissioners courts have been abolished by the legislature on grounds similar to the ones presented by any hesitation on the score of Jurisdiction on the part of the legislature, for prece- dents have been piled on precedents.
 The Age-Herald has no desire to prejudge the case as it stands before the legislature But 1t does desire to impress upon the leg islature the fact that home rule is as dear to the people of Jefferson county as it is to the people of any other county. If the legislature shall decree that the com missioners must go, together with the court, then the spirit of republicanism de- mands that an election for a new board shall be held at the earliest convenient season. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and expense, the election for dele gates to the constitutional convention may ment would thus serve about six months only. Such an infraction of home rule would be accepted without serious com plaint, but any longer appointive term would not be-
 Governor Johnston has rendered the county signal service in the overhauling he has given the countys business.
