COUNTY COMMITTEE
 MEETS WEDNESDAY Idle RumorS Concerning Its Pro-
 babIe Action. FULL LIST OF MEMBERS
Little Discussion of State Politics-N body Disposed to Criticise Action of State Committee-Friends of Mor-
 gan and Johnston Jubilant

According to the call of Chairman Robert J. Lowe, of the Jefferson county democrat ic executive committee, that committee will assemble at the court house in this city at noon on next Wednesday, October IS.
 There are rumors about town that it Is possible the committee will take action in- dependently of the order of the state com mittee agreed upon last Tuesday, but there appears to be absolutely no basis for such rumors.
 That sort of talk is unreasonable in all respects and wholly improbable. It is as idle as the breezes upon the summit of Red mountain.
 In running counter to the action of the state committee, the Jefferson county com mittee, or the committee of any other one of the sixty-four counties yet to act, would be simply quitting the democratic party That is absurdly impossible, and talk in that direction is not only baseless but is positively mischievous.
 The democratic executive committee as 1t stands today is composed as follows:
 Chairman, Robert J. Lowe, Birmingham; secretary, Nathan l.. Miller, Birmingham and for Williams beat, S. w. Nunnally, Me Calla; Jonesboro beat, T.

 State Politics
 There was very little local discussion of state politics yesterday. Whilst the decs- ions of the state democratic committee have not fully satisfied everybody, nobody seems at all disposed to give utterance to objections Generally speaking, all the people appear to be satisfied. Most of them are highly pleased.
 Friends of Senator Morgan are jubilant. Friends of Governor Johnston also seem to be jubilant. That argues general satis- faction that augurs well for the democratic party.
 In the state committee meeting of Tues day it appeared that the governorship was entirely lost sight of, and whilst no doubt every member was striving to do his duty as a party man, he was thinking of the United States senatorship. It was argued by Messrs. Lowe, Knox and others that the senatorship was the great question that was causing the wrangle over the matter of one date for nominating all candidates for the legislature. There was not at the moment any doubt as to that. There Is now practically no doubt. All the members who voted in favor of one date may not have favored Morgan, and all of those who voted for independent action by the coun- ties may not have been in favor of John- ston for senator; but practically the fight was accepted on those lines, and the result is so accepted. The decision of the com mittee in favor of one day for all the coun- ties, except two, to nominate their legisla- tive candidates is taken as being favorable to the cause of Senator Morgan for re- election. It was eminently proper that neither the name of the governor nor the senator was mentioned in debate.
