CRENSHAW MAY VOTE
SUPREME COURT SETTLES QUTS-
 TTON FROM LIMESTONE.
Negro Soldier in the Federal Army Was Denied Registration and Appealed to the Cir
 cult Court.

The Supreme Court of Alabama went or record yesterday, that a citizen Of the state. to whom a jury had awarded reg lstration certificate should enjoy tne pr"' leue of the electorate without fear or m terference from the higher court.
 The decision of the court was that afteI a iury had awarded a man a registration eertifcate there was no appeal which could deprive him of it.
 The court in an opinion by MT. Justice Haralson, held that the action of the jury was final, 1t being similar to a verdict of Rcouittal in a criminal case from which there is no appeal.
 The case in which this important pre- nedent was established came up from Limestone county. It was the first case of its kind that has yet come before the court. Peter Crenshaw, negro of Lime stone county was the interested party. Crenshaw served in the Federal army In the war between the States. He has i1 his possession an honorable discharge from the Federal army testifying to his service.
 He presented this discharge to the Board of Registrars of Limestone coun- Ay as a reason why he should be granted a certificate. He based his claim upon what is known as the Grandfather Clause" of the. Suffrage article of the new Constitution which declared that old SOL diers who had honorably served in the army or navy of the United States or the Confederate States and their descend

STATE SUPREME COURT TT WILL NOT OBSERVE THANKS
 GIVING DAY. State Cases from Sixth Division gre to De Submitted This Morning.
 Opinions Handed Down Yesterday.

The Supreme Court of Alabama ad- journed yesterday to meet to-day at 10 a. m.
 No Thanksgiving observance will fall to the lot of the Supreme Court justices or the court attaches. To-day is State day for the big court division, the divis- ion in which Jefferson county is locat- ed. This means that there are many cases to be submitted. The day will be given over to the submission of criminal cases from Jefferson and other coun- ties forming the division. There are a large number of Jefferson county attor- neys in the city and the Thanksgiving day session of the court will be a great convenience to them.
 Opinions were rendered yesterday by the Supreme Court as follows:
 Mcclellan, c. JIG. A. Jones vs. Josie G. Kennedy, appeal from Jefferson Cir cult Court, reversed and remanded.
 F. Goidstein vs. J. D. Leak, appeal from Birmingham City Court, affirmed.

 Tyspn. J.-Annie s. Barlow vs. Sam H. Hill, admr., appeal from Pickens Chancery Court, reversed and rendered

ants should be entitled to registration under the temporary plan.
 The Registrars of Limestone county, however, declined to grant Crenshaw d registration certificate. The discharge from the army was not honored.
 Crenshaw then took the remedy pre- scribed by the Constitution. He contend ed in the Circuit Court of Limestone county for his certificate The case was tried by a jury of white men which de- clared that the army discharge entitled Crenshaw to register.
 The State appealed the case. The Su- preme Court yesterday in an opinion rendered by Justice Jonathan Haralson dismissed the appeal holding that none could be made.

CHIRoPoDIsT's CHoLER.
Comes Near Getting Him Into Serious
 Trouble.

Ozark, Nov. 25.-(Special.)-A serious tragedy was narrowly averted here early last evening. Adolph Gritzner, travel ing chiropodst who registers from Wash ington, D. C., went to the Atlantic Coast Line depot to take the east bound 7:30 tran. He placed his grip on seat in the lady's waiting room, and stood aside. Presently number of ladies entered, and one of them placed the grip on the floor to make room At this Gritzner became enraged and with an autocratic air said to her she would be arrested for that in some cities At this a number of men rushed up to resent the insult, and were in the act of carrying their designs into rapid effect, when older heads intervened at once and prevented by force what would in another instant have been a serious affair. The chiropodist apologiz- ed most profusely. but he was not allowed to go east on the same train with the lady.
 The incident has been the chief topic of conversation here today.
