had never been actually caught in any

-four months afterward Captain and
Mrs. Faulkner were back 10 town, ap-
parently the happiest people to be

AS for Faulkner, he seemed com
pletely changed. There was a manli-

He was clearly devoted to his wife. and
they seemed to perfectly understand

Not temporary stopping place that be-
longs to your landlord, but home Not a
section of a tenement house, filled with
noisy children, but a home where you can
gather your family about you when the
days work is done and be at peace Per-
haps you have thought that you could
never get a home-that your income is too
small, and that such an investment would
be away beyond your means. Let us zee:
What do you pay for rent every month :?
How much would that amount to in year?
How much in six years? AT that rate how
long would it take you to pay for a home?
Now, if you really want home, 1.-The Ala

Immensely in the matter. You can get the
money to build on time and pay off the loa,

pose you were to die, would you not rather
leave your family a house and lot than a
handful of rent receipts? OF course you
would. Come and talk to me.

to return to her profession.

COMMISSIONERS
BILL CAME Up
Resolution Offered to Discharge
Local Legislation Committee.

Montgomery, February 11.-(Special)-
The Jefferson county commissioners bill
came up in the senate today ON a resoiu-
ton by Senator Brown that the committee
on local legislation be discharged from fur
Their consideration of the bill. The adop-
ton of this resolution would have placed
the bill before the senate for action. The
president of the senate ruled that the reso-
luton should go to the committee on rules.
An appeal was taken by Senator Brown.
The president was sustained by vote of
II to 10, which ended the matter for today
On Monday motion. instead of reso-
luton, will be offered to discharge the
committee on local legislation, and it is
believed the motion will be adopted
1t is said to be the purpose of the COM
mittee on local legislation to keep the
bill in committee until the session ends.
President Cunningham is vigorously oppos-
ing the bill and Ii seems to be tight TO
the death between him and the governor.
The advocates of the bill claim that the
appeal from tho decision of the president
would have carried today but for the alb
sence of several senator's and that on Mon
day the motion will carry. The mistake to-
day in the fight was in the fact that Sena-
tor Brown offered resolution calling upon
the committee for a report rather than
motion to discharge the committee. which
motion would have been in order. The
ruling of the president in regard to the res
oluton was correct, and being correct was
sustained, though only by majority of
one.
The fight comes up again Monday, and
the best opinion is that if the committee on
local legislation does not report by that
timo it will, upon motion, be discharged
and the bill to abolish the Jefferson county
commission will be precipitated upon the
senate for direct action. Then 1t will be a
matter of direct voting upon the passage
or defeat of the bill
