cial situation in Walker county. It Is pretty well understood that the Four teenth circuit bill. which includes Wal ker county, will fail if presented to the courts, and the citizens are trying to find where they would be il this should come about.
 The old Walker county law and equity court succeeded the Jurisdiction of the aforetime Tenth circuit so far as that county was concerned. and the law for that was repealed at the time the new Fourteenth circuit was created. It is thought the new circuit will fail because not properly advertised. If this is a fact, and the Lusk bill Is declared uncon- stitutonal, there will be no court for Walker county. To make the matter clear It is only necessary to recall the events as they came along: Walker county law and equity court succeeds the Tenth circuit jurisdiction, besides taking over chancery authority. and repeating other laws; law and equity bill repealed by special act, when Fourteenth circuit bill became a law; Fourteenth citrcuit bill likely. as well as the Lusk Law, of which it is a part, to be declared uncon- stitutional.

Charges Made.

The old constitution put the sheriffs among those who could be impeached by the circuit or city courts, but this was changed in the last, and thereby hangs a very interesting story. The matter Of making sheriffs respondble for lynchings in their counties was urged by some mem- bers of the convention, among them being ex-Governor and now Federal Judge Thomas G. Jones.
 This provision was voted down, but as a compromise the sheriffs were put in the list to be impeached by the supreme court. This was done on the argument made by Judge Jones and others that 1t was impossible to get convictions of sher- ifs in their own counties usually, be- cause of local friendships and prejudices. It is also said that the giving of the two extra years to the sheriffs were in the nature of compromise because of this change in the court of jurisdiction.

Wants Papers Published.


 In an open letter to the Montgomery Advertiser. Mayor Fuquay of Alexander City calls upon the governor to allow the publication of the papers in the case of Sanford Jacobi who was convicted ef an attempted assault on a girl here, and later pardoned by inc governor The case has always been largely discussed and the action of the governor in issuing pardon to some extent criticized. It has been brought up, however, at this time to em- 1 barrass Congressman ]. T. Hefin or the Fifth district who was formerly secre- | tary of state and as such being mem l Der of the pardoning board, endorsing the application for the pardon
 Capt. B. w. Walker, the republican nominee for the place now held by MT. Hefiin, in a speech at Tuskegee some days ago, intimated that some of the papers had been misplaced. The matter was cor rected by the private secretary to the gov ernor J. Kirk Jackson, who asserted that Captain Walker was shown the papers when he called, and that they were all in the package; also that pardon papers are never kept in the office of the secretary of state where Captain Walker Is said to have gone first, but in the private office of the governor. where case is especially provided for them.

Elaborate Laws.

Under the old provisions there were elaborate laws laid out in the code for the trials of all officers who might be ae- cused before any court The provisions relating to trials before the supreme courts were different from those before the lower courts to some extent, and add to what may become confusion in the case of the Huntsville sheriff.
 Trials of sheriffs were in the lower court, hence the machinery for the hear ings was provided in laws relating to these courts. The new constitution places the hearings of sheriffs in the supreme court, and the legislature did not pro- vide a law for carrying 1t out. The sit- uation is that the old laws for proceed ings before the higher court did not in- clude trials of the sheriffs, and that the law which did reach the sheriff was framed for service in the lower courts OnlX-

JULIAN TO START PAPER

Montgomery, September 22-(SpeciaL)- The recommendation of the Madison county special grand jury that Sherin Rogers. Mayor Smith and Chief of Po- lice Overton be impeached will open again the acts of the last legislature to pnblic notce in that it did not provide laws bv which the constitutional provi- slons concerning impeaehments could be nut into action. It Is thought, however that this oversight will not operate to prevent the proceedings being filed and pushed to q decision
 After reciting what shall be causes TOT impeachment and who may be impeaeneo the constitution of 1901 says: Under such regulations as may be prescribed by law" No law has been passed to cover the case and consequently the matter of the impeachment of the sheriff of Madison county will have to proceed on the simple constitutional stipulation With such rules of practice as the supreme court. before which it will come may provide. 1t Is quite likely, however that the old law will be utilized in the ap- sence of other machinery, the attorney general being of the opinion that thls will be legal and according to custom.

Constitutional Provision.


 The constitution provides for the im- peachment of seriffs in Section li4' being a part of the chapter on impeachments' 1t provides that chaneellors judges Of the circuit and proabate courts and Judges of other courts from which appeal may be taken directly to the supreme court solicitors and sheriffs may be re- moved from office for any of the causes mentioned in Section 173, which are will full neglect of duty, corruption in office, incompetency intemperance in the use of intoxicating liquors or narcotics, or for any offense involving moral turpi- tude while in office or committed under the color thereof or connected there with
 Mayors and other officers of incorpor- ated tcwns arc to be removed through the circuit court, city or criminal court having jurisdiction where cases are taken up, provided that they have the right to appeal to the supreme court.
 The penalty under cases arising out of the throe sections from which quo taton is here made shall not extend be- yond renewal from office and the pro- hihitiou from holding office during the extent of the term for which he was elected or appointed He shall be liable, however, to indictment and punishment as presc libcd by law

Self-Executing.


 The attorney general is of the opinion that the constitution is self executing. The court of hearing is provided and the offense for which trials may be had stip- ulated, making, he believes, enough de- signation to render the trial by the su- preme court in every way regular and final It is very probable too, that the laws in the old code can be used where they apply and are properly constructed in the work of the court in cases tried under constitutional provisions which now exist.
 That part of the new constitution which refers to "intemperence in the use of intoxicating liquors or narcotics," etc., Is a departure from the provisions of the old consideration. and, with no statue to put 1t into effect, it has been declared null and void by the supreme court, this opinion being rendered verbally in the | impeachment hearing against Probate Judge J. Colvin Wood of Lowndes coun- ty a few weeks ago. This provision does not come in in the Madison county case. 1t is presumed, so what it may or may not be in it's relation to law. need not worry those who are interested.

oLD-TIME INDIAN REMEDIES
Simple Treatment All That Wa Nee
essary Before Contamination
by White People.


Undoubtedly the American In.
dian in his primeyal state was a
fine specimen of physical man
hood. DR.. E. j. Kempt, who has
made a careful Investigation into
frontier history, says the Kansas
City Star, has found out that be-
fore the Indians were contain
mated by the white race they
never were afflicted with small
pox, measles, tuberculosis, govt,
scuryy, insanity, nervous diseases
nor any other of the ills and blood
affections which have in late years
made such terrible inroads upon
the numbers and vitality of the
red men of this country.
The only bodily Affections which
DR.. Kempf reports to the Medical
Record that he found among the
abOrigines were feyers and dis
eases produced by cold, such as
pleurisy, pneumonia rheumatism,
dysentery and wounds from acct.
dents or battle. Naturally the
remedies of the Indians were sim
pie and few in number. When sick
an Indian refused all kinds of
stimulating ailments, but drank
profusely of cold water. In add
ton to this, in proper cases, the
Indians resOrted to sweating,
purgfng, vomiting and bleeding,
and finally, when all remedies
seemed to be Intellectual. the med.
icine man was called in to try his
amulets and incantations on the
patient.
These methods of cure are still
resorted to among blanket Ind
ans who are removed from the in
huences of civilization. But be.
fore we smile or condemn these
practices we should consider our
own history. 1t was only a few
generations ago that our ideas OF
medicine were almost as crude as
those of the Indians. The more in
telligent of the white people then
of course, did not resort TO magic
and incantations, but the concOc
lions they manufactured to cure
diseases almost pass belief
Oliver Wendell Holmes, in his
medical History of Massachu
setts," has made a permanent rec
ord Of some of the practices thel
prevailing among the cOlonists
Gov. Winthrop was a devout be
, lever in the efficacy of sowbugs
while Rev. Cotton Mather useC
upon his sick friends such absurd
and foul pellets and medicamentt
rs no Indian ever dreamed of.
