THE SHELLEY COURT HOUSE.
Hon. G. B. Deans Writes . Card on
 the Subject.

Editor The Advertiser:
 l was in the city today on some busi- ness matters. and during my stay. my attention has been called to an ordi- nance accompanied by a memorial which was intrcd in the Constitly tional Contention today. The memo rial in question reflects on Senator Oli- yer of Shelby and myself. Now. inas- much as I know that you report the .stenographic proceedings of each ses- sion of the convention. ask that you publish a statement from me. which I think Is due the Senator and myself. The statement is as below:
 The location of the county site of Shelby County has been a bone of con- tention for the past twenty years be- tween the advocates of Columbiana and Ca1era. In April. 1893. an elecfion was held to decide the matter. but the law under which 1t was held was so crude and defective as not even to pro- vide for g contest. The Columbiana people. being in absolute control of the election machinery at that time, took advantage of the weakness of the law and most numerically counted Calera out by all sorts of frauds, such as stuff fng ballot boxes and throwing out boxes which were in Calera's favor. In 1899 bill was passed by the General Assembly permitting another election on the question and which was e very well-guarded' law in that any sort of fraud was practically impossible to be perpetrated, and which was to stand for four years from it's passage. The Columbiana people fought the passage of the bili very bitteVly. Senator Qli- yer and myself found out last Febru- ary during the session of the Legisla- ture. that theye was a well-dehned plan on foot to forestall the election law in buildings at Columbiana during the present year. as soon as the Legisla- ture should adjourn. The Senator and myself conferred over the matter, and, being certain that a majority of the county favored Calera as the county site. we thought that under the, cir- cumstances that we would be fully war ranted in removing the county site to CaIera by legislative enactment, which we proceeded to do, and did so. Now, as to the manner of the passage of the bill through the House and Senate, l will say that 1 watched the bill care- fully during it's passage. and Shat 1t was put through in a perfectly regular and legal way. The only reason why 1t was not pub lished in the papers at the time, as far as I know, was because I receipted for the bill after I introduced 1t and kept it in my possession until it was acted on by the Conlmittee on County and County Boundaries. I placed this iden- tical bill with the same cover that Is now on 1t in the hands of MT. Striplin. the acting chairman of the committee, together with a note from Senators Oli- yer. asking its favorable consideration. saw MT. Striplin with the bill in his hands go to the members of the con- mittee and get their signatures on the back of the bill for a favorable report The bill was regularly introduced, re- ported and passed, just as 1t now ap- pears. Its validity is now being tested in the courts. G. B. Deans.
