STEEL RAIL CONDITIONS.
Little Chance for Any Orders Bein
 Placed During This Year.

It Is said in some quarters that there Is little chance for any large orders for steel rails coming from the rail- roads this year. Poor earnings by the railroads is given as a sufficient reason for this A prominent steel manu- facturer, who recently returned from the West, made the following state ment in regard to conditions: While in the West I interviewed score of prospective buyers of railroad equip ment and every one of them declared that little could be expected in the way of orders from railroads this year. The earnings of the railroads are too small. they say, to justify the statement that a heavy demand for steel rails will set in before the close of the year. Not a single order of importance has been placed in several weeks. From time to time the newspapers advertise that such and such q railroad has ordered rails, but in nearly every case these contracts were closed months ago. Ac- cording to program. the steel rail manufacturers will meet in October to take action on prices for 1905. From present indications. the present schedule will be reaffirmed. It Is unlikely that a lower quotation will be established. now that the railroads have been out of the market for so long, and a resumption of activity is looked for next year."

MANY HAVE ALREADY COMPLIED
 WITH THE LAW.
List of County Assessor and Collectors Who Have. Already Filed
 Sureties for Their Ex-
 tended Terms.

Though it is generally conceded that
 Alabama Tax Collectors and Asses
 sors, whose terms of office have been extended, should have their bonds for
 extended terms filed in the office of the State Auditor by September 10, there are yet many who have failed to meet the requirement.
 The Collector of Sumter County is the nominee of the Democratic party for Probate Judge. but he has not yet resigned his position. This was the case with Collector Long of Washing | ton County and Collector A. F. Car ruth of Cleburne County, but both of these have resigned, leaving the Gov ernor a chance to appoint in time for | the new man to make bond for the short term before September 10th. tho | time when the Auditor holds all the bonds sould be filed.

DALE CIRCUIT COURT.
Fifty-twO True Bills Returned by th,

 Grand Jury.
 Ozark Sept. 6.-(Special. )-The fall term of Circuit Court is In session here, Judge A. A. Evans presiding and Hon. c. A. l.. Sanford prosecuting attorney. The grand jury returned fifty-two bills Friday and was discharged. Will Pronto, colored was indicted for mur- der in the first degree and few others for assault to murder.
 The great bulk of the indictments were for msdemeanOrs. The civil docket was cleared Saturday and the criminal docket is being sounded. Cotton has been coming Into Ozark at a lively rate the past week. Ten cents and upwards is strong incent- i've. and every available cotton picker Is searched out and carried to the cot ton fields In this section now white with the harvest.
 Close inquiry reveals the fact that all upland cotton has been killed by the rust and no top crop will be gathered from it. The low lands and the fresh lands are still fourishing with form and bloom. and a big yield from the ion crop is expected. The fresh and .IowIand crop throughout Southeast Alabama constitutes about two-thirds the area planted. and the yield this season now promises to tNe Ss per cent of a normal harvest

TAX OFFICERS BONDSIIS LUSK ACT LEGAL?
QUESTION MAY BE ANSWERED. IN
 SPECIAL TERM.
Ch.pceIlor Carmichael Held That the 1 Lusk Bill Never Passed the Legislature.

There seems every prospect of the supreme Court of Alabama assembling in extra session about September 20 to consider the Lusk judiciary law which Chancellor J. c. Carmachael of the Northwestern Division has de- clared does not legally exist.
 Chief Justice Mcclellan, who is the only member of the Supreme Court in the city, said yesterday that he had written his associates about the mat ter seeking to ascertain their prefer ences as to time of holding a special term, suggesting to them. however September 20 as date well suited to his conveniences.
 The case on which the. test of the law will be made comes from Jefferson County. on appeal from a decision hand ed down by Chancellor Carmichael or Hast Saturday to the effect that no such law as that known as the Lusk judi ciary law had ever been passed by the ILeeislature of Alabama. A demand was made in Jefferson County for a room for the additional Circuit Judge allowed by the Lusk act. This was refused. and when brought to the Court of the Chancellor, he ruled as above indicated.
 The papers are, or will be, in the hands of the Supreme Court in a day or two. Chief Justice Mcclellan has a letter from Col. Sam w. John of Bir- mingham, who is conducting the case fin which the whole situation Is out lined.
 The Lusk redistricting bill. known familiarly as the Lusk judiciary law, was rushed through the General As- sembly of 1903, at the closing hours. It was very unpopular with many and barely escaped defeat on more than one occasion. The measure which passed the lower house was so generously amended by the Senate that the House
 would not agree to 1t. and 1t went to a Conference Committee of three mem- bers from each branch of the Assem- bly, which, after a long conference. re- ported that the Senate should recede from two of its amendments. Nothing
 was said of the other changes of the
 Senate, and 1t is held that the measure as a consequence never passed. It was also urged that the elimination of Jef- ferson County from the law. result of the Jefferson County consolidated court bill. made 1t local measure moi properly advertised. The failure of the Jefferson County bill to stand the test of the courts. however. eliminates the latter objection.

COURT IN LAUDERDALE.
Judge AImOn Delivers m Exhaustive
 Charge.


 Florence, Sept. 6.-(Special. Judge E. B. Almon of the Circuit Court, de- livered lengthy charge to the grand fury yesterday morning, consuming an hour and half in the reading of it.. One of the principal features was the report of Judge w. L. Wilkerson, State Examiner, who was sent here by the Governor to examine the books of the county officers. A year ago the same accounts were examined at the request of citizens of the county and the re- port was ignored by the grand jury, which complimented the county off, cials on the condition of their books. The present report in which the ex- aminer sets forth the facts without comment, was referred by Judge AL mon to the grand jury.
 He charged the jury in most explicit terms in regard to the case of Will Abernathy. the white boy who drove a horse sixty-five miles on one after noon until it dropped in it's tracks. He said 1t was their duty to return an indictment if the facts warranted if and the offender should be severely punished.
 The grand jury will be called on to consider more cases than usual at this session of court, several of them being murder cases.
