me supreme CouTt or Aldpana m oe- l cisions yesterday by MT. Justice Tyson, affirmed the action of the City Court of
 Montgomery in dismissing the two cases l of Jackson w. Giles. a negro. against the Board of Registrars of Montgomery County.
 Giles, in one case. sought to compel the Board of Registrars by mandamus to reg ister him as an elect0r. The other case
 was damage suit against Charles B. Teasley and others as members of the Board of Registrars for 5000 for failure to register Giles as an elector. The opinions of the Supreme Court in
 each case are brief. It is held that, as
 the cases are predicated upon conten- ton that Section 1S0 of the Constitution | creating the Board of Registrars, is re-
 pugnant to the Federal Constitution, 1t
 must follow that without deciding the contention, according to the predicate,
 there is no Board of Registrars. Giles is backed in his litigation by a | negro suffrage society whose purpose is | to test the validity of the new Alabama Constitution and it is said the cases will | be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The State Supreme Court yesterday handed down large number of opinions
 and adjourned until Monday. April g.. when cases from the Mobile division will | be taken up. Among the decisions handed down yes- | terday was an affirmation of the case of Nose Davis, a Lowndes County negro.
