HAS FINED SEVERAL.
Visitors as We'll as Residents Have
 Pistol Toting Habit.

Judge Feagin has fined several prison. CTS $10O and iS0 days this week for car rying concealed weapons. He states however, that they are not local people but visitors to the state fair. He said:
 ''rhe number we have caught shows the prevalence of the "pistol toting'' habit in Alabama. The people of Bir- mingham are gradually giving the habit up. and I hope it will soon be the case all over the state.
 Tt is a matter of education and not punishment that stops the habit If the would take it up and edu- cate the people to stop carrying pistols, then we would have fewer murders and shooting affrays.
 ''The courts are not able to stop the practice unless the people are traine 2 to leave their pistols at home, and if you newspaper men keep at them 1t will final ly have the desired result"

DOG BITES HORSE.
Did Not Think He Was Going Fast
 Enough.

One of the guideless wonders at the fair narrowly escaped a serious accident yesterday. The black horse is hitched to sulky after he races with the other guideless horse. and is driven by bull dog. The horse paced a mile in good time with the dog acting as driver Af- ter the mile was completed negro sta- ble hand ran into the track and grasped the reins and tried to turn the horse from the track, but instead he turned the sulky over and threw the horse. The bull dog jumped from the seat and caught the horse, holding him until MT. Walker, the owner, arrived and told him to turn him loose.
 All through the race the dog evidently thought the horse was not travelling fast enough, so he bent down and bit the pacer a number of times, finally driving him to a break. This amused the chil- dren.

mFs mOntgOmcTy 5 NdTus
 Birmingham, Ala, October 29, 1902. To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 I called on Probate Judge Stiles this afternoon to ascertain if he had or would send out to the inspectors in the various polling places in Jefferson coun- ty lists showing those who had regis tered and those who had paid their poll tax.
 He advised me that there was no law requiring it, and that it had not been done; furthermore, that the list of those registered would not be filed with him until February next year. He further chairman of the Jelks campaign, had given him lists of those who were sup. posed to have registered and those who had paid their poll tax, which lists he had put in the boxes, but advised the managers or inspectors that they were not bound to obey and follow them-they were given for such as they were worth
 Of course, any list furnished by MT. Thompson, chairman of the Jelks com. mittee, is not valid and cannot be used by the election inspectors for any pur- pose.
 If the judges of probate throughout the state take the same view of the new con stitution and laws, then it is likely no registration or poll tax list will be sent out to guide and inform the inspectors of election.
 All voters who have registered and are not required to pay poll tax should take their certificates of registration with them to the election and those who are required to pay poll tax should take registration certificate and poll tax re- ceipt with them. Persons who are reg istered and may have lost their registra- ton certificates can vote upon making oath that they are registered Those who have registered and paid poll tax, If required to pay it to vote, can vote on making oath that they paid their poll taxes on or before the 1st of February. 1902, and registered as a voter.
 J. H. MONTGOMERY, Vice-Chairman Republican County Cam
 paign Committee of Jefferson County.
 Committees at Work.
 As the day for holding the election ap- breaches the campaign committees Of both. parties continue actively at work. J. A. W. Smith, republican candidate for governor, was in the city yesterday morn ing, and left in the afternoon for Ann1s- ton, where he spoke last night.
 The democratic speakers are urging on the people the necessity of going to the polls and voting next Tuesday, so as to roll up big majority.
 B. A. Thompson, chairman of the dem ocratic county campaign committee said yesterday that Jefferson county would cast two democratic for each republican vote, and the question of majority de- depended upon the interest manifested by the democrats in trying to get the voters to the polls.
 number of callers presented them selves at the headquarters of the dem- ocratic state campaign committee yes terday, among them being Judge S. H. Sprott, of Livingston; Thomas l.. Sowell. of Montgomery; William Ligon, of Mont gomery; William Seldom, of Marengo county; John King of Marengo county and stephen Smith, a member of the commit tee of Sumter county.

Registration Records VIII Not
 Govern TueSday's Election
UNOFFICIAL LISTS MADE
Judge Stiles States That the List Will Not Be Furnished Hlm Until February--J. H. Montgom-
 cry Writes a Card.

No official registration lists will be used in the election next Tuesday. and those who go to the polls should take with them their certificate of registration and poll tax receipts.
 Judge Stiles probate judge of Jefferson county said last night that he had been asked if he would send to the election in- spectors in the various polling places lists containing the names of those who had registered. and that he had stated that there was no law requiring lists be sent to the polls to be used by the inspectors, and that the lists of those who had registered would not be sent to him before next February
 It Is very probable that registration lists will be sent to the polls by the chairmen of the campaign committees in the dlf- ferent counties but these will not be used officially being sent merely for the guid- ance and help of those at the polls.
 In reference to this matter J. H. Mont gomery vice-chairman of the republican county campaign committee sent the fol- lowing communication to the Age-Herald vest terdav.

DROWNED AT CENTRAL CRY.

DNVWNSD 'e
The little 12.year-old son of Doc
Saunders, who resides at Central
City, was drowned Saturday after.
afternoon about 8 o'clock In a de-
serted shaft back of the main street
at that place. The particulars OF
the tragedy az near as could be
learned are recorded az follows In
the Joplin Sunday Globe.
Several children were playing
hide-and. seek in the tall weeds
which were growing around and
when little Charlie Sanders entered
patch of weeds the children sup
posed he was merely hiding and
thought nothing about his absenc.
until he had been gone about TWEEN
ty minutes. When inquiry was
made as TO what had become OF the
boy one of the children went to the
cn,np of weeds to look for him and
discovered that they were growing
over an old deserted shaft. An
alarm was at once given and man
lowered into the mine, who soon
appeared bearing the lifeless body
of the boy, who had been dead
about fifteen minutes. His death
was due to drowning as the shaft
contained several feet of water. The
boys mother has been dead for
some time, and the father is almost
unconsolable.
