 Resolutions.

EAGNOhuNAOnBs
 CuIIman, Oct. 3.-(Special. 1.-The members of the Cullman bar met this morning and resoluted on the condition of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, growing out of the unconstitutionality of the Lus< Act. The Eighth Judicial Circuit is in a peculiar condition and everybody seems to be at sea as to the best way out of the difficulty The Lusk act made two circuits of the old Eighth Circuit. and we have two nominees for Judge and solicitor; if the nominations are to be considered as legal. The Gull man bar passed resolution this morn ing declaring that 1t was the opinion of the body that an extra session of the Legislature was unnecessary and un wise. but that the Judicial circuits and conditions resume their former status as before the Lusk Act was put in op- eration. The following resolution was also adopted:
 Whereas. The Lusk bill has been de- clared to be unconstitutional: and.
 tsWhereas. What has heretofore been known as the Eighth and Sixteenth Ju. dtcial Circuits, are now in one circuit composed of the counties of Cullman. Morgan. Lawrence. Limestone and Mad ison: and,

LAWYERS OF MARSHALL ADOPT
 RESOLUTIONS. E
Call on the Governor to Convene the Legislature in order That the Lask Bilf Be Passed
 sm Due Form.

Guntersville, Oct. 3.-(Special .)-Cir- cult Court convened here in regular ses- sion today and large crowd was ir attendance on the court. Governor Cunningham delivered an address in the interest of a levy of special tax oi 10 cents under the new Constitution for educational purposes. The Cover nor's speech was able and interesting and large audience heard him. Hon John L. Burnett delivered an address in the afternoon which met with hearty response from the audience.
 During the evening a bar meeting was held, at which resolutions were passed urging the Governor to convene the Legislature in extra session to re- pass what Is known as the Lusk bili, and every member of the bar practice ing in the county is earnestly and en- Enthusiastically. in favor of the extra ses- sion; not only this. but nearly every man in attendance on the court. litigant or witness, merchant or farmer, Is heartily in favor of the same thing.
 There is an overwhelming public sentiment in tho county in favor of an extra session of the Legislature to re- pass the Lusk bill at once.
 Following are the resolutions:
 Be 1t resolved by the members of the bar of Marshall County, Ala, That the confusion which has arisen by req son of the fact that tse Supreme Court has decided that the .Lusk bill Is not a duly enacted law creates a necessity for the converting of the Legislature in session and we urgently request the Governor Of Alabama to call an extra session immediately.
 ''Be 1t further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Gov ernor and furnished the papers for pub lication

 Insurance on Schools. "Gentlemen:-Under the plan now being followed by the city govern ment, practically all insurance poll cies on our schools, and public build ings of all character are issued for a period of one year. I desire to ask you to grant me the authority to en- ter into contracts for this insurance for the term of at least three years which will intimately result in u net saving to the city of at least 8 Ia per cent on the total amount now be- ing paid. This arrangement Is under- stood, of course. by your honorable body as the system the insurance com panies have of issuing policies for three years upon the payment of prem- iums for two years, and the issuance of five year policies upon the payment of three year premiums.
 "I would call your attention to tho fact that during the fiscal year l903- 04 the city paid premiums amounting to approximately $4,5O0. Under tho rule in force at present 1t would not only be necessary for the duplicate of this amount to be paid out during suc- ceeding years, but a considerable buildings possessed by the city.
 While the carrying out of this sug- gestion would of course entail a con siderable increase in the immediate expenditure, still am sure the amount saved in the end would justify our do- ing so. I, therefore. respectfully ask that the matter be referred to the ap- propriate committee for investiga- tion.
 Respectfully,

Moutkomery, Oct. sra, lSO4. TO the City Council of Montgomery:
 "Gentlemen-The land upon which we are preparing to erect buildings for an emergency hostipal being so situated as not to afford desirable driveway into same, 1t became necessary for me to secure strip of land on the ad. Joining property to be used for this purpose. After considerable negotia- tton with the owner, A. J. Stokes, an agreement was reached which enabled us to secure the desired amount of ground. by the city agreeing to pay him $200 therefor.
 Under this agreement we are pro-. vided with an excellent thirty foot driveway into our property at small cost, and at the same time the necessity Is ooviated for the tenants in the rear or the property passing through the grounds of the emergency hospital in going to and from their homes.
 Other points to be considered In this connestion. Is that 1t has been found impracticable to secure the necessary amount Of pure water at this place and we are therefore compelled to run water mains Into same. To place the pipe across the ravine adjacent to the property would entail considerable ex- pense and annoyance. This trouble Is overcome by the purchase of the land in question. as the pipe may, of course. De run underground Instead of cross ing the ravine.
 T respectfully ask your honorable booF to ratify and confirm my action in LAis matter Respectfuliy.

FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1901.

Essex County adds another to the long
list of murders or dangerous aud fatal
assaults. We think this county has had
in all her history of over one hundred
wears but one trial for murder. This
was many years ago aud resulted III
aequittal. Nearly four years ago man
was shot in Lexington during drunken
row and the assailant was indicted for
murder. The case resulted IN plea oil
guilty to manslaughter and imprison-
ment at Windsor for a term OF years.
As in that case SO in this, had there not
been rum there would in all proba-
bilitv have been no murder. Had there
been more of the man aud less OF the
brute, no such result would have been
recorded. A want of honest Christian
manliness is a tremendous incubator OF
crime. Another study for the moralist
another call for the missionary right
here at home. There are lot OF toughs
in the world, and for some reason or
other the clan seem to increase.

The governors Arbor Day proclama-
ton is good healthy reading. But who
is going to have the hardihood to tell
lumbermen that they do not know their
own business? The trouble is to be
found in the burden of the age. The
seeking after the mighty dollar for the
present shuts out all glimpses of the
future. Hustle for the victories of the
today is shouted from the housetops ;
let the failure and those who come after
us look out for themselves is echoed
back from the outposts of commercial
strife and social conflict. If our forests
had been protected by strong law during
the past half century as they should
have been, it were better for the state
and her people today, and hope fol
future developments would be brighter
The governor is right and We wish ht
had the power to enforce his ideas.

A few years ago Bryan seemed to be
almost magic word; and it almost
seems that magical tone is becoming
attached to the word Hearst Does Mr..
w. r. Hearst possess hypnotic influence
We hear it suggested that his followers
in Vermont are on the sure road to
victory. Can it be possible that Smalley
and McGetSrick, Senter and Harris and
Davenport and others are in need OF
funds this year, that they behold prin-
ciple of high order in the barrel that he
is said to be willing, nay, anxious,
to open for the benefit of the needy
laboring man and the honest, liberty
loving politician? w. R. Hearst can
didate of great, proud party for the
presidency of the first republic in the
world Just think of it! No policy,
no platform, no record of great achieve
ment as public servant, nothing in
fact except few millions which he is
willing to give for the presidency! Is
the high office to be bought with money
Has it price in gold and silver? We
think not, and are surprised and cha
grined to think that Vermont democracy
with its high standard of citizenship
should be willing to be classed in that
column. Men can support such men as
Cleveland or Olney or Parker or Gray OF
Mcclellan from honest purpose and high
principle, but with Hearst another
thought must be uppermost to lead men
to his support. No, Vermont democracy
is not yet demoralized, and we. think
this runior will not MATERIAL e into
definite action.
