CLAY COUNTY COURT.
Important Matter to Be submatfed {
 the Supreme Court Today.

Important Matter to Re submatfed to the Supreme Court Today. D. J. Garrison. an attorney of Ash land, reached Montgomery last night to appear before the Supreme Court in mandamus case. appealed from the Circuit Court of Clay County.
 The last legislature repealed the act creating the County Court of Clay, and many attorneys are of the opinion that the reapeai was invalid and unconstitu- tional by reason of defective notice or intention to apply to the legislature Tor the passage of the repeating statute
 To test this matter, a complaint was offered the clerk of the County Court in August, and he refused to file 1t or issue summons on the fled.
 Mandamus proceedings were resorted to for the purpose of compelling the clerk to issue on the complaint. The Circuit Court refused to grant the writ. and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court.
 The case is one of great importance 70 Clay County, as the County court had Jurisdiction of all criminal cases and if the act was not properly and constitutionaly repealed. the court and not the Circuit Court should try the cases.
 All criminal cases in Clay County are held up awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court.
 B. H. Burr, and Hon. Cecil Brown of Talladega and Mr. Garrison are repre- senting the appellants. They hold that the repeating act was unconstitutional. In that the notice of intention to appiy for the law did not. state the sub | stance of the act.
 Hon. c. c. Whitson, of Talladega. represents the other side of the case. It will be submitted to the Supreme Court today.

After starting two or three telegrams and tearing them up he wired meet us" etc., and the young lady at the key who licked the words of to Allan ta, probably thought that one of "us'' was the jolly chum of the young en- gineer who had been telling Captain Yancey what a fine young lady Miss Lillian Horan was.

MISS KORAN AND
 MIR. YANCEY MARRIED.


 MIR. YANCEY MARRIED.
 The mention of the name of william Lowndes Yancey" will give a thrill of admiration to hearts in Alabama, as long as the clouds shall float around the mountain tops or rivers shall low towards the sea. The following clip ped from an Atlanta paper will be of interest to hosts of friends in this city who recall with pride the memory of Captain Goodloe Yancey, who once made his home in Montgomery, and whose galIantry as a soldier was un- surpassed.
 The Constitution says:
 Meet us at the 12 o'clock Western and Atlantic train" was the way a telegram read which Captain Goodloe Yancey, secretary of the prison com mission, received yesterday. The tele- gram was signed by Captain Yancey's son, William Lowndes Yancey, who Is a grandson and name-sake of the great William l.. Yancey, of Alabama, who in his day was one of Americas great est orators.
 And who is 'us'?" asked Captain Yancey.
 The young man is a civil engineer in the employ of the Seaboard Airline, and had been engaged on that section of the road which is being built fy0m Birmingham to Atlanta. For a year and a half he has had his headquarters at Cedartown. Captain Yancey had his own ideas about who us was, but 1t was all a matter of guess work Once when he was at Cedartown he heard one of young MT. Yancey's feI- low engineers, speaking in very high terms of certain young lady of the little city. but the son never intimated in the slightest way that there was anything in prospect in the way of orange blossoms.
 When the State road train came in Captain Yancey was there to meet ''us," and just as he expected. 'us" meant William L. and a very beautiful young lady. The welcome the happy couple received could not have been more hearty Thy were taken to Captain Yanceys home and spent the afternoon there, and at o'clock MT. Yancey left for Richmond, where he had been called for an important work on the line of the road, while Mrs. Yancey remained over in Atlanta to buy her wedding trosseau, which she had not had time to purchase.
 Well, if that isn't like Will to A dot" exclaimed Captain Yancey when
