CITY AND COUNTY
 WILL COOPERATE Join Forces in Handling the
 Smallpox Situation, NO CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT Ten Medical Men Put to Work Vaccin- ating-Conference Between Mayor Drennen and Board ofRevenus
 Every Precaution Takeu
NO CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT I

Mayor Drennen and County Health Of ficer pr. J. w Barclay were present at meeting of the Jefferson County Board of Revenue yesterday and the question of the prevalence of smallpox in the county was freely discussed.
 It was concluded that the matter of the malady was well in hand; that there was no sort of reason for alarm; but in the spirit of extreme precaution, it was deter mined that ten medical men be assigned to the duty of vaccinating all persons needing vaccinations the city and the county to share the expense equally.
 Dr. Barclay was directed to take such steps in this particular might seem to him to be wise The city and county will unite in an effort to have every person in the county vaccinated who has not been so. The authorities in the smaller muni- acipalities are also requested to join in the effort to make vaccination general.
 It was shown that there were S2 cases in the county, 80 of these being in the hos pftal of detention of Red mountain. The significant fact was brought out that of the S2 patients, 39 are from Georgia and 20 from Mississippi All are negroes and were brought to Jefferson county by reason of the fact that work is easily obtained. Corporations and contractors, it was al- legged, have heretofore exercised little pre- caution in the matter of employing negroes, and most of the cases with which the city and county are called upon to deal will come from among working crews at mines and other places where large bodies of men are employed.
 Corporations and others employing ne- groes are urged by the board of revenue to exercise caution in the matter of em- ploying negroes and to make vaccination a necessary requisite to gain employment. It is insisted that there is no cause for excitement or alarm. A lew persons have come into Jefferson county afflicted with the germs of smallpox. The city and coun- ty will provide against any possible spread of the disease.

Postmaster Hughes and United States Cir cult Clerk Allison has added interest to the fight between MT. Vaughan and Mir. Bingham for the ehairmanship of the state committee MT. Vaughans friends claim that the resolution making one man ineli- gible for more than two terms as chair man has no weight and that 1t will not be binding on the state convention which meeets next summer. In speaking of this resolution yesterday a prominent repubii- can said:
 'There was another resolution adopted at the same convention to the effect that in future the state executive committee should elect the state chairman, and both resolutions were ignored by the convention of 1898. Both of these resolutions were passed by the court house convention at Montgomery when there was another con- vention being held in the same city. The national convention recognized both con- ventions by seating part of each deega- tion sent to St. Louis So you see the po- sition taken by the opponents to MT. Vaughan's reelection is an absurdlty, as they all well know that convention can bind the succeeding convention"

Trial Will Begin This Afternoon in the
 Inferior Criminal Court

The trial of MT. and Mrs. J. B. Hopkins for alleged cruelty to their children will begin this afternoon at o'clock in the in- ferior criminal court.
