MEYERS ELIGIBILITY
QUESTION RAISED AS TO A BEs-
 SEMER ALDERMAN.
Supreme Court Will Decide Wether Disqualified Voter is Entitled to Hold Office in Ala
 hama

The Supreme Court of Alabama will. at It's November term. be called upon to de- eide whether man, not a qualified voter, can hold an elective office under the new constitution.
 The case will come from Bessemer where 1t has attracted considerable local attention. It grows out of the election of Alderman Meyer, a member of the City Council of bessemer. Mir. Meyer was not a qualified voter. He had not paid his poll tax. MT. Meyer had been duly reg istered under the temporary plan of regis- tration. but he neglected to pay his, poll tax.
 In the last city election he was selected as one of the aldermen of Bessemer.
 There are two strong factions in mu- nicipal politics in Bessemer. and a fight was begun in the courts to prevent Mir Meyer from discharging the duties of all derman. It was claimed that not being a qualified voter. he was ineligible to hold office. It was further claimed that Mir. Meyers predecessor in onlce should con- tinue in office. his successor not having qualified. =
 The proceedings were brought in the City Court of Bessemer. Judge B. c. Jones, presiding. He held that MT Meyer, as an unqualified voter. was ineligible to hold the office of alderman
 MT. Meyer has appealed to the Supreme Court.

London Board of Trade.


 London. Nov. 1.-The October statement of the Board of Trade shows increase of $4519,50O in imports and $3,611,50O in ex- ports. The October. returns are likely to be freely used by the opponents of those who are contending that British trade Is disappearing in support of their demands for tariff protection. It is noted by those who are opposing fiscal changes that the imports of manufacturing articles de- creased $1.O5S.S25 while the exports of man. ufacturing articles decreased $1,05S. .S25 while the exports of manufactured goods improved to the extent of A.694.4s5. The imports of raw material increased to the amount of g, 736,595.
 The report also confutes the stories oi the outflow of gold and shows that Great Britain imported over $17. .5O0,O 900 more bul. lion than is exported during the ten months of 1903.
