SET FOR JANUARY l6 LOWE CASE TO BE HEARD DY
 SUPREME COURT. Demurrer to Information for Im- peachment of Solicitor of Eighth Judicial Circuit ovsrruled
 by the Court.

The Supreme Court of Alabama yester- day issued an order in the impeachment proceedings against Solicitor R. II. Lowe of Huntsville. everything the demurrer to the information and setting January 16 as the day on which the case should be brought to trial.
 The order was given by Mir. Justice Sharpe, Mir. Justice Dowdell dissenting from the views of tho other members. of the court.
 The order everything the demurrer granted the motion to strike certain parts of the information from the records The parts stricken are small and of minor importance.
 That part of the information which de- clared Solicitor Lowe had wilfully ab- sented himself from the court was strick- en out
 The impea chment proceedings against Solicitor R. H. Lowe are based upon the findings of the grand jury of two coun- ties within his circuit, the Eighth Judi cial Circuit. The findings of the grand juries alleged that Solicitor Lowe had not discharged the duties of his office. It was asserted tha. he was physically un- able to attend to the duties of Solicitor. and that he had. therefore, apsented him self from the terms of the Circuit Court. It was further stated in the information that hS had collected from the State salary for which he had rendered no ser vice.
 In the demurrers filed by the attorneys ef Mr. Lowe, 1t was stated that the Con- stitution did not contemplate the prsRish- ing of & man for weakness or incapacity providential in it's nature, and which he had not brought upon himself by any act of his own. In the demurrers it was de- nied that MT. Lowe wilfully absented himself from the court in it's various sessions. It was stated that he was i'll and unable to attend. It was contended that this certain circumstance afforded no just ground for his removal from of nce.
 The hearing of the impeachment pros ceedings before the court will be similar to the impeachment trial of Judge J. H. Lovelcy of Etowah County which was recently completed. Unless an agree n,ent is reached by the attorneys relative to the taking of testimony. a numb sr of witnG sses will be summoned to come to Montgomery to give evidence in the trial. The attorneys may, however, agree on the appointment of a commissioner, who win take evidence so that the case may be submitted to the Supreme Court on de- positions.
 The case will be heard January IS, when the testimony will be submitted either orally or by depositions.

THE HOLIDAY MAILS
FORCE AT MONTGOMERY OFFICE
 TO BE AUGMENTED.
Postmaster Buckley Advises Citizens Not to Wait Until Last Day and Crowd Clerks-Directions
 for Mailing Packages.

Postmaster c. W. Buckley anticipates an unusual Christmas rush at the Mont gomery postoffice this week and next week. and several extra men are to be employed in handling the holiday mail.
 Judge Buckley said yesterday that gen. orally the big amount of Christmas mail matter which goes through the Montgom- cry postoffice is mailed about this time.
 But this year." said Judge Buckley. we have handled little over our usual amount of mails. have therefore come to the conclusion that those who intend sending their holiday gifts are holding of until the last moment. If this is done generally we will be submerged in mail on Christmas eve and the day previous, and we will have great trouble in hand ling 1t expeditiously. I want to urge the public to send in their mail as soon as possible and to some extent relieve the ofice of the terrible. nerve racking rush."
 The following information concerning the proper way to fix mail packages will be of interest:
 First-Have your packages wrapped se- cureiy, but without sealing. in stout pa- per. These packages are thrown into canvas sacks: the sacks are piled on top of each other, and your package may be subjected to great weight over it and crushed or when the sack is emptied 1t may be torn.
 Second-See that your package Is aecu- rateiy weighed in order that the full amount of postage required may be affx- ed in stamps. Unless fully prepaid it will not leave the office. Hundreds of pack ages last Christmas were either delayed or never reached their destination by be- \ ing short paid.
 Recollect that postage is rated by ounces. Scales that do not weigh ounces will not gipe correct weight. Ample arr arrangements will be made at the postoff1ce for correctly weighing your packages.
 Third-Write your full address. giving street and number, on the lower left hand corner of your package. proceeded by the word from In this case If 1t IS wrongly addressed or short paid, you Will be immediately notified by postal card. and can correct your error without delay. Otherwise the addressee will be notined to send the short postage.
 Fourth-An printed matter. except newspapers and periodicals duly entered and including engravings, photographs. etc are third-class and require l cent hostage for every two ounces or fraction thereof
 Fifth-Newspapers, etc, regularly en- tered as second class matter. requires l cent for every four ounces, or fraction thereof.
 Merchandise requires l cent TOT each ounce or fracuon thereot' Packages are limited to four pounds in weight
 sixth--Any writing in these packages s,hiacts them to first class postage, ana renders the party liable to fine. These packages are inspected before leaving the office and should be tied up so as to be easily examined.

Wares chief Theodore Roosevelt The hero of San Juan HilI' has read us so many sermons on the vicious ln- auence of the craven and the weaklins in stuun speeches, messages, etc, that we can explain his action only on the

ored oleomargarine and hutterine has had the effect of increasing the popularity or the imitation butter rather than or smut ting 1t out of the market altogether, as the dairymen hoped. Where there were but . handful of dealers in Milwaukee ais trict who handled oleomargarine and but terine prior to the passage of the tax measure, there are now more than 10 and the number Is constantly increasing.
 Chief Deputy Collector Lasche says that 1t was matter of great surprise 10 him to hnd the manufactured product be- coming so popular. Dealers who bitterly opposed the tax and denounced the action of Congress are now highly elated. for the public seems to take even more kindly to the gray-white compound than 1t dld to the colored article that needed the services of an expert to determine wheth- CT 1t was butterine or the best of cream cry butter.
 The law has had the effect of -i king butterine more popular" said Mir. i-lSche. At any rate, that Is what the dealers say and we have now two large whole sale houses that handle 1t, one in MIL waukee and one in Marinette, and you would be astonished to know of the great quantities they sell. There are 14o retail dealers and they are all doing good business. They say the fact that the com pound looks like lard makes no difference; people buy 1t and they seem to like It even better than butter"
 Creamery butter retails for 90 cents per pound The best oieomargarine costs but IS cents. That tells part of the story. There are several grades of butterine just as we'll as there are grades of but ter. The cheaper kind can be purchased for much less. and 1t Is claimed for 1t that 1t Is far better than most of the second grades of butter to be had in Milwaukee, and as good as many of the first grades. Confeetioners. 1t is claimed. make great use of cutterine for cooking purposes and so do many of the bakers.
