 son of TalIadega. ". W. Haralson of De- kalb, W. B. Bankhead and John H. Wall lace of Madison. Reuben Chapman and L. D. Godfrey of Sumter, Massie Wilson of Clark Henry B. Foster and w. ". Bran don of Tuscaloosa, and some of the others who might be mentioned as prominent in their profession and capable law makers.
 It has been suggested that Capt. Frank O'Brien of Jefferson will likely be made chairman of the corporations committee, and because of his peculiar fitness that II. c. Gunnells of Calhoun may secure the educational chairmanship. MT. Gunnells IS chief clerk in Superintendent of Education Abercrombies' office, and is thus fully iden- tified with the progress being made in pub lie education in this State. Appropriations, agriculture, local legislation and revision of laws are other committees of special im- portance that are to be filled by capable members.
 Few suggestions have been heard as to the probable chairmen in the Senate, but that body is composed of able men, and suitable chairmen may be found. It will require all of the first week to get the two houses organized in working shape.
 The Constitutional Convention.
 Of the more important legislation to be considered the bill calling for the submis- sion for vote to the people as to whether a Constitutional Convention may be held Is the most important. No one doubts but that such a bill will pass the House, though there be strong members pledged to op- pose its passage.
 The publis school question will again be +l,at o1I A. are becoming aroused as to the very great importance of raising the intellectual stand ard of the masses. Then there Is the dis Pensary issue that is sure to come again.
 The Dispensary Question.
 No bill introduced into the last general assembly caused more widespread interest than the Moody dispensary bill, and while the champion of the measure failed of re- election, there are others who are ready to take up the measure and fight for its adoption. It has been suggested that the from that of two years ago, when Senator Moody sought to have it general in it's ef- feet More conservative advocates of the measure now seem satisfied with the local option idea, and it may be that the dispen- SSAS ii6it VIII pe Dy CouIlleS ditOBGlneI However it comes, it will be lively issue.
 Amendments to, or the repeal of the tax commission law will prove another question of general interest. Just the shape that this measure will come in cannot be here stated, but it is decidedly two-sided issue that will have attention. The announced purpose of Representative Wallace to introduce a bill to have con structed a suitable home for the Governor is one of the more important measures. There is much speculation as to whether the bill can be passed. In this section some members express the belief that the measure would be opposed by North Ala bama members on the ground that it would place the State House as fixture in Mont gomery. If there be such opposition from North Alabamian, it has not been heard here.
 Another Important Measure.
 measure of further importance will be suggested from the Secretary of States of- flee, seeking authority to employ thor ough land man to have properly arranged land books in the Department of State These books have never been correctly kept, and it will require several years of diligent labor to complete the work. There is no doubt that much of the States valua- be land is In possession of parties who are without clear titles to the same. An in- stance can be sighted where a party in North Alabama sought to sell to a syndi- cate for $100000 a tract of mineral land, and when he came to make title to the same it was ascertained that the title was still in the State, the land belonging to he school land.
 There are many more measures of inn portance to be considered by the General Assembly that will mark it as a hard worked body. E. E. KIRSH
