OVER 5000 POUNDS OF
 FRESH MEAT CONDEMNED

Over 5000 pounds of fresh meat shipped into Birmingham was condemned and or dered tanked during the month of July by the meat and milk inspection depart ment of the city. The exact amount of fresh meat condemned, as being unfit for use, was 6O55 pounds. against 1000 pounds for the same month last year The meat condemned and ordered tanked by In spector c. A. Collins and his assistants included beef, pork, mutton, lamb and. in fact, all kinds of fresh meats offered to the retail trade.
 While high grade of fresh meat is sold In Birmingham as a general rule, still the meat and milk inspection department of the city is very careful to examine every pound offered for sale so as to guard against meat unfit for use being sold. In number of instances the retail CTS are really unaware that the meat they have on their counters is unfit for use. until the inspection and tests provided for in the city ordinances governing this department are made.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
 DOGS-WITHOUT OWNERS

The city council at it's nekE regular meeting will take up the ma Der of in augurating the annual crusE Ele against the members. of the canine Hiiy who in- habit Birmingham. Mayor Dfnnen stated yesterday afternoon that he would take the matter before the city council, as soon as that body held meeting. which will be a week from tomorrow night.
 The dog wagon Is always put in opera tlon in Birmingham sometime during the month of August, and it always operates along the streets and avenues picking up stray canines until cold weather comes.
 The matter of amending or offering en- tirely new dog pound laws will probably be called to the attention of the city officials. At present. there Is a city ordi- nance which prescribes that all owners of dogs must apply to the city tax col leotor and pay over the sum of s1 per an- mum for the privilege of allowing his

CASE IS STARTED
 ID TEST LUSK BILL
County is Asked to Provide
 Room tor Extra Judge
WILL SEEK AN INJUNCTION
Committee of Lawyers Have No Def nlte Plan to Reach Supreme Court, But Will Urge an Extra ses-
 sion of That Tribunal.

The first move looking to the testing of the much diseassed Lugk Judiciary bill was taken in the local Courts yesterday afternoon. Circuit Clerk Walter K. Mo- Adory Is the initial mover. and the new move comes in the way of a requisition by the clerk on the board of revenue for an additional court room for the extra judge provided for in the bill as passed by the legislature.
 All of the court rooms of the present court house are occupied by the several divisions of the court at present, and should the Lusk bill, providing for an ad- ditional circuit judge become effective the new official could not find room in the present building in which to hold his court Clerk McAdory, to remedy this ditional room. It Is understood that the special committee appointed to test the constitutionality of the Lusk bill will seek an injunction to prevent the county from providing the room. In this manner the case will come before the chancellor, and 1t matters not what the opinion of that official the case will be carried to the supreme court for a final decision. As a matter of course all of the fine points regarding the constitutionality of the bill will be set out in the case when 1t reaches the courts.
 There Is still no definite programme planned by the committee to reach the supreme court, but they will urge an extra session of the tribunal to pass upon the matter. The following Is a text of the requisitlon made by the clerk upon the board of revenue yesterday:
 To the Honorable Board of Revenue of Jefferson county:
 Under the Lusk bill the circuit court of Jefferson county will require an addi- tional court room for the extra judge to be elected on November 8, 1904 I, there fore, request you to have prepared 8 suitable room for said additional judge in which to hold court after his election in November. Very respectfully,
 WALTER K. McADORY,
 Clerk of the Circuit Court.

Inspector Collins reports that while the supply of fresh meat shipped into Br- mingham was little off in quantity dur ing July, that the usual amount is now being received.
 Inspector Collins is giving the matter of inspecting fish his colae attention just at this time, too. A comparatively large amount of fish offered for saie last month was trown out by the inspector as being unfit for use.
 We are having but little trouble with our milk inspection" said Inspector Col lins yesterday afternoon. We give this department close attention at all seasons of the year. but we rarely ever discover a case where milk which will not come up to the standard of this city is offered for sale. The standard required by the ordinances of Birmingham Is three per cent of fat, and while, in my opinion thls is a low standard, still the dairymen as a general rule live up to the require ments.'

bowser to stroll around at will. This law, however. city officials claim has never worked successfully. inasmuch as the owners of larger number of the dogs In Birmingham will not take out the H. cense. They will allow their pets to roam at large in the vicinity of their residences but when the dog man comes along "Fido" will run into his masters premises and then the dog catcher can do no more. The law does not give the dog man the right to enter the premises O. anyone to take up canine. Many claim that this is discriminating against the ownerless dog, and favor placing the dog tax at 50 cents per annum and requiring the owner of every dog in Birmingham to pay the tax with a penalty for failure to live up to the provisions of the ordinance.
 Dog tax goes into the general fund of the city. The mayor stated yesterday afternoon that he now Lad the matter under consideration expecting to take it up Immediately.

GEN. SHELLEY CALLS
 HUGHES A HUMORIST
SAYS THERE IS NO EARTHLY CHANGE FOR THE REPUBLICANS TO CARRY EITHER THE FIFTH OR SEVENTH DISTRICTS.

"I did not know that Dr. Hughes was such a humorist until I read that inter- view in Sundays Age-Herald," remarked Gen. Charles NJ Shelley. T notice he claims the earth and the fullness thereof, (especlally the Fifth and Seventh Ala bama dstricts) and those that dwell therein.
 "If l thought the postmaster really be- lieved there was any earthly chance for the republicans to carry either the Fifth or the Seventh districts I would call his attention 10 the fact that Burnett In the Seventh won the race in 1902 against Street, the strongest republican in that district by nearly 150O majority; and that Thompson defeated Nolan. a strong re- publican in the Fifth by 650O majority.
 But why discuss Alabama at all with pr. Hughes while lis vein of humor is so much in evidence Laugh and grow fat Is a wise injunction, and Dr. Highes seems to know the remedy and how to apply 1t in political way Look pleas an may be the word of command given Alabama republicans who are in such hopeless minority. but they know too well the weakness of their cause in these parts.
 Tt will require no microscope to dlseoy- CT the six electoral votes for democracy. not yet found by Dr. Hughes. With a solid south, those eastern states which apparently he comedies to democracy. and the activity and determination of the democratic hosts of Inuiana. Illinois, Wis consin and Colorado, the outlook is cer- tainly hazardous to the prophetic and hu- morous vision of our Birmingham post master, who has now won the right to be called a political prophettO of infinite jest |"

An Unfair Law.

We hope that the next 1egis- lature will repeal the obnoxious portion of the live stock law pro- hibiting cattle raisers and far mers from slaughtering their own stock. The law Is one totally bad in it's intent, and against the constitutional rights of the American citizen. A man that raises cattle surely ought to have the right to market what he raises. To deny him that privi- lege is working a hardship on him in every sense of the word.
 Why not go on and make the law more stringent and force a cattle raiser or farmer to sell his chickens, ducks and turkeys to the licensed butchers? It would be carrying out the same special privilege law. Besides raising his steer for the market, paying
Snips and the St. Johns herald., 1904-11-05

a tax on the live animal, and paying general operating ex- penses of his business, the far mer under the present law must pay another license before he is entitled to butcher and sell that steer. Judge Sloan, who is a fair man In every sense of the word, dealt the class law d hard jolt in this city when he decided that man could not be prosecut- ed for killing his own beef,
 whether he killed the critter for his own use or for sale. Let our next legislature knock that DOT tion of the live stock law higher than a kite. Prescott Herald.
