POLITICS IN MORGAN.
D. W. speake Will Oppose Judge O.
 Kyle,

New Decatur. Jan. 19.-(Special.) )-Pol- itics in this portion of the State is warm ing up, and. although the primary is some time off, there are many candidates in the field.
 Hon. D. w Speake. a prominent law yer of Decatur, has announced his candi- dacy for circuit judge of this judicial circuit ill opposition to Judge o. Kyle. the present circuit judge. who also re- sides here This will no doubt be a most interesting race. as both are strong men. Mir. Speake is brother of the late Circuit Judge H. c. Speake. Judge H. C. Speake died in office, and Judge Kyle was appointed to fill out his unex- pired term.
 There are more than a score of cahdi- dates for the offices of probate judge, tax collector, treasurer, tax assessor and the other county offices, except sheriff. A sheriff will not be elected for two years yet.
 Perhaps the most prominent candidates for probate judge are William T.. Skeggs, the present incumbent, and Hon. D. B. Morrow late clerk of the Circuit Court. Both men are well known throughout the county.
 The city election in Decatur will come off in May. A mayor and several alder men are to be elected at that time. There are already number of candidates spok- en of for the office of Mayor, although none has announced as yet Among those spoken of are Hon. Henry A Skeggs. the present mayor and John Knight and others. Mayor Skeggs has been mayor of Decatur for number of years, and his administration of the city affairs has been the most economical and prosperous the city has ever seen.

MULES STILL AMUCK
WHILE ALDERMEN PONDER CITIZENS LIVES EN-
 DANGERED.
Live Stock Dealers Tako Advantage of an Obsolete Ordinance. The Ryan Measure Under
 Consideration.

While the Street Committee of the Montgomery City Council is grappling with the mule ordinance of Alderman John Ryan, introduced Monday evening, the mules continue to be driven through the streets with a reckless disregard for human life.
 The ordinance proposed by Alderman Ryan forbids the driving of mules through the city except when they are tied and i'll no case shall the number of mules so driven be more than ten. The ordinance also prescribes the only streets in which the mules may be driven even when tied in the manner prescribed. Two routes are outlined in the ordinance, one from the yards of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and one from the yards of the Atlantic Coast Line. In both routes the busy streets of the down town districts are avoided.
 Dealers in live stock are using the streets of Montgomery now by authority of Section 1O4s of the City Code which is as follows:
 Any person or persons who shall drive any horses or mules in droves of two or more, fin the streets of the city (except from the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road yards to North Court Street, thence along North Court Street to Bibb Street, along Tallapoosa Street to Lee Street, along Lee to Church Street, also from the corner or Lee ana IaLapooSa streets to Bell Street, thence to the Alabama Midland Railroad yards, from the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad yards to Lawrence Street, on Lawrence Street to Washington Street, and from thence pn Washington Street to the stable occupied by Calhoun and Lee but that stock shall not be driven through the streets on Sun days) shall upon conviction be fined not less than $1 nor more than $1O0."
 ITrytA ,rIi many years ago and when Montgomery was nothing more than a village. It will be observed that no restrictions whatever are placed upon the manner in which mules shall be driven notwithstanding the following section throws restrictions around the manner of driving cattle through the streets.
 Mayor Carr seen by representative of The Advertiser, declared that the citizens of Montgomery should have relief from the conditions which had undoubtedly Se- come a nuisance. He expressed the hope that the Council would amend the ordi- nance at the earliest opportunity.
 Monday afternoon as a drove of wild mules were being driven through Law renee Street one of them broke into DeX- ter Avenue, ran on the sidewalk, attempt ed to enter stores and scattered pedes-

 The active minister soon had his cards posted in corner grocery stores, which are called "hot beds of profanity" and in factories where young girls, working alongside men, become accustomed to hearing profane language from their mas culine noighbors.
 In the factories the cards have been of great service, 1t Is said. They have en- abled girl to call the attention of man to the fact that he was swearing simply by pointing to printed card on the wall. Usually he has & word of apology, and does not swear so frequently again. i As one result of the crusade a number of small towns are passing "anti-swear- | ing ordinances"

 The story Is again revived that ths Southern Railway is tN remove its shops from Selma to Wilton, the junction point of the lines from Birmingham and Rome. | The fact that the Southern has recently purchased quite a tract of land parallel ing the road at Wilton gives some foun-

 reason given for the move is that the
 railroad desires to get its employees away | from the city.
