CITY CAMPAIGN TO
 BE A SHORT ONE
TALK OF HAVING CITY TREAS URER, CITY AUDITOR, CHIEF OF FIRE DEF ARTMENT AND CITY PHYsIciGN ELECTED.

Although it Is nearly a year until the city elections are held, politicians are beginning to talk and get worried about what Is to be done. Among the matters which are agitating their minds is a current rumor that the city executive committee will order all city offices filled by an election of the people, thus talk ing the power of naming men for offices from the mayor and board of aldermen.
 At present there are only about four im- portant offices filled by the mayor and board of aldermen. They are the city auditor, treasurer. chief of the fire de- partment and the city physician. The talk Is of having these men elected by the people. Although the state and county elections are nearer, the question is caus- ing a great deal of talk.
 It Is generally understood among the politicians in the city that primary will ing a very short campaign in city affairs. The matter of electing these four officers and a number of minor ones will rest en- tirely with the committee. It is in the jurisdiction of the eighteen committee men to decide the question. A number are said to be in favor of it.
 It is said efforts are being made to call a meeting in the near future, but he says that Is impossible unless ma jority asks him to do 80. In his opinion it would be best to make the election short and spicy.

CITY HAS LICENSED
 TO DATE 626 COWS
MANY OWNERS HAVE NEGLECTED TO TAKE OUT LICENSES, AND THE CITY AUTHORITIES WILL SHORTLY BE AFTER THEM,

Up to the present time only b2e cows in Jefferson county have been qualified as proper to supply milk to the citizens of Birmingham. For the qualification of this number of animals ffty-one own- CTS have paid into the city treasury the sum of $526 as licenses. The license col lector states that only about one-third of the cows supplying milk in the city have been paid for. but further states that the remaining two-thirds will have to be paid for or their owners made to suffer fines.
 Under the dairy law of the city, as passed some months ago, every dairy man doing business in Birmingham must pay tax of s1 on every COW he owns and uses to supply his trade. Besides this each COW and each dairy must al- ways be open to Inspection by the milk inspector, whether in or out of the city limits According 10 this law fifty-one owners have had licenses issued for 526 cows. The smallest license was issued for one COW. All others ranged upward one man paying for twenty-six and three for twenty-five.
 In addition to realizing s526 from the mflkmen the city has also collected s26 each from three dairy houses which serve milk. Efforts will be made by the license collector to stir up the other millSmen. who do business in Birmingham but who have neglected to secure a license and make them hand out the fee of s1 for each COW. It is expected the full re- than $1500.

WILL SEND TEAM.
Jefferson Volunteers Will Shoot at
 Savannah Meet.

At the meeting of the Jefferson Volun- teers last night 1t was decided to send team of five sharpshooters to the south ern interstate shoot to be held on the Avondale ranges near Savannah, Ga., August 25-3O A committee was appointed to arrange for the trip and was instructed to invite the other military companies of the city to join the volunteers at prac- tice on a rife range which has been se- cured near Woodlawn.
 Target practices will be held tri-weekly until the time of the contest The com pany already has three men who are classed as sharpshooters and it is expect ed the practice will bring other men up to that standard.
 The members of the company seem to be quite enthusiastic over the prospects of the trip and they expect the results to be very beneficial. It is hoped the interest aroused In the shoot will result in an effort to have a permanent rife range supported by the state and an eff fort will be made to have it located near Birmingham.

Johnston Favored Reform.

JonnSton aVored Reforff1.
 'fI must do Governor Johnston the jus tice to say that at this time he was a prominent and an active and an earnest advocate of the movement. As chairman of the committee on platform and reso- lutions. in the convention which nomi- mated Governor Jones for re-election-as I recollect 1.-the aided in having this demand embodied in the platform of the democratic party in this state; and he, and others of us who favored the move ment. consented reluctantly to withdraw the demand only because 1t was insisted that party success at that time would be endangered by such a provision, And we all remember notwithstanding the de- mand for suffrage reform and a new constitution was stricken from the plat form, that the celebrated thirteenth plank, of which Governor Johnston was the author, and which declared that the functions of government should be re- stricted to the intelligent and the vir- tuous. was the subject of bitter attack and aroused viruent opposition on the part of our opponents in every part of the state
 ''When Governor Johnston was himself elected to office, and when, by lapse of time. much of the bitterness which had divided the white man of the state, had been alayed, the friends of a new con- stitution and suffrage reform were en- couraged to believe that the accomplish ment of this great movement was at hand. In his first message to the legis- lature, in 1S96 as chief executive of the state, he advocated this reform in a message which bears the stamp of true statesmenship, and which, in force and expression will rank with our very best state papers. Among other things in this message he says:
 The duty is upon you to consider the necessity for a new constitution for our state. That the present constitution has served its purpose. and now embarrasses rather than promotes the objects it should serve, is manifest to all thinking men. It Is essential that some of the iron bands which have prevented our growth and development should be struck off. The fear of improper restriction of the right of suffrage should not be al- lowed longer to stand in the way of re- lief demanded more strongly each year.
 Tn concluding this message he says: The security, peace and concord that would come from the successful accom- plishment of these changes would bless not only this generation but those to follow us, by opening opportunities for progress, and removing dangers some times averted by resorting to methods that all patriotic citizens deplore.'
 Renews the Demand.
