 The meeting was called to order by J. E Wilson, temporary chairman, after whicf pr. A. B. Curry offered prayer.
 The permanent organization was then eff fected by the unanimous election of V. l. Allen and Ollie Barber as chairman ant secretary, respectively.

MT. Wilson, MT. West and Mir Barber were appointed as a committee to send out these petitions with the request that they be signed and re- turned to the body at it's next meeting.

 Whereas, Under the existing plan for holding the primary election by the demo- cratic party in Jefferson county on April 14th next, the voters are not permitted to vote direct for candidates for the house or representatives and senate eH Aa3aHe5 and

AN OFFICE THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED Criminal CourtJudge to be Elect
 ed in August. JUDGE GREENE'S RECORD Talk of Opposition to Him Discredited Has Served Two Terms and
 Stands High as Jurist-
 Political Talk
JUDGE GREENE'S RECORD

In the heat and excitement of the cam paign that has been in progress between Senator Morgan and Governor Johnston for the federal senatership and between the gubernatorial candidates, one of the most important offices in the state has been overlooked by the voters of Jefferson county-that of judge of the criminal court. Judge Samuel E. Greene's term expires next fall, and his successor will have to be elected in August. It is extremely doubt ful if any one will enter the race against Judge Greene, whose reputation as Jurist is of the highest order. Six years ago when Judge Greene was nominated for the second term by the democrats the Jeffer- sonians endorsed the nomination and he was elected without opposition.
 It has been intimated that Birmingham attorney will enter the race against Judge Greene, but the report is discredited. Dur ing his twelve years on the bench Judge Greene has tried some of the most noted cases ever before the courts of the state, and during that time he has seldom been reversed by the supreme court.
 Morgan Campa:g gn Committee
 The following call was issued yesterday
  paign committed:
 "A meeting of the Morgan campaign committee of Alabama is hereby called at the headquarters, rooms 90 and S1, Morris hotel, Birmingham, on Friday, February 23, at noon for the purpose of transacting any business that may be brought before it. FRANK s. WHITE,
 Chairman. 'R. E. L. Neil, Secreary."
 The Dale and Walker county democratic primaries will be held tomorrow for the purpose of nominating candidates for county offices, including representatives. In each county there are two candidates for the legislature, but no fight is being made over the federal senatorshp. The two candidates in Dale are for General Oates and the two In Walker for Senator Morgan. Each county is entitled to one representative in the general assembly.

 dent : active charge of the properties at Bessemere. The capital stock of the Bes- SC mer Land company is 100000. The stock was quoted yesterday at 221a. A sale of a few shares was made at 24.
 The company, besides owning valuable coal mines and other properties, has, among it's assets, eight hundred building lots in Bessemer city. It also has something like 900 of cash in its treasury. At the meet ing yesterday a resolution was adopted, de- claring it to be the policy of the company hereafter to make the stock a dividend pay ing stock. During the past year it has earned more than per cent on the capital stock.
 A resolution was also adopted yesterday that in the sale of lots hereafter three fourths of the purchase price can be paid in the stock of the company, the company accepting its stock at 50 cents on the dol lar in payment for lots. In other words, the purchaser of tine lot may pay one-fourth in cash, and the remaining three-fourths in Bessemer Land company stock at $50 a share This makes market for the stock, and it is believed will lead Ito great develop ment in Bessemer at once
