ANNUAL SESSION COMES ID AN END Officers Are Electedb byWoman's
 Mission Society BISHOP A. C. SMITH TALKS People of DadeviIe are Thanked for ospitaIity-Next Meeting
 Will be Held at
 Jasper.

Dadeville, October S.-(Special )-The twenty-fourth annual conference of the Womans Foreign Mission society closed yesterday, with two powerful sermons by Bishop A. Coke Smith of Norfolk. Immense congregations heard the bishop at both services. The sermons were, in- tensely practical, deeply spiritual and @e- livered with a fire and impressiveness that stamped the speaker as one of the great southern preachers. Though not an ora tor, in the common aceptation, and mak- ing no pretenhon to any high-flown dic- tion, Bishop Smith holds his audience in the hollow of his hand, and sways them at will The text for the morning service was from Acts XIII, 2-3. In the even ing he preached from Psalms CXVI, 12- 13-14

 In an interview after the speech. MT. Watson said that his idea was to organize the Jefferson democrats.
 "The Hamilton democrats are now in league with the republicans. That class of people is in power now" said he.
 He said when asked about the move ment after the election to unite with the Bryan and Hearst democrats that there had been no agreement to that effect, but it is his intention to continue to work along that line. He said he never ex- pected to become president himself, but believed by holding the populist forces to- gether he and Bryan and Hearst could act together. though probably moving as sep- arate units, and bring Waterloo to the Hamilton piutocrats.

declared that the term should begin on the date of the next general election un- der that constitution. (Acts 1888, D. 1S0
 section D The next general election hereunder was the 3d day of November
 1S6S The constitution of 1875 declared the length of the term to be six years, the same as the constitution of 1868, but did not change the date of its beginning. It changed the election from November to August, but provided in the schedule that the terms of the incumbents should not thereby be shortened. The constitution of 1901 fixes the length of the term at six years. the same as the two preceding con- stitutons, but is silent as to the date of it's beginning So, doubtless. if there had never been a statute enacted upon the subject the term would begin November next. I doubt very much if the legisla- ture could extend for the space of a year the term of an office fixed in the constitu- ton, and the beginning (and of necessity the ending) of which had been defined in a preceding constitution (23 A. and E.
 Enc. of Law, 2 ed, D. 406. and cases cited) (3) It is held in the cases of Brewer V
 King, 63 Ala. 511-515. and Hughes V. Mont gomery, 6 Ala. 201-207. that the sureties on the bond of a public officer are bound only for the fixed term, and for such req sonable time thereafter, varying with the circumstances of the case, as may be nec- essary for a successor to qualify. Upon the authority of these cases I advised that, in my opinion, justices of the peace should give new bonds. They hold over for period of more than two and a half months. I do not think 1t could have been in contemplation at the time the sureties executed the bond of justice of the peace that the officer should hold over for such a length of time. But the case is different with the judges of pro- bate. They will hold over for only few days. I think that would be held to be the such reasonable time as may be nee essary for a successor to qualify, and that the present sureties are bound for this short interim. It is unnecessary for the incumbents to give new bonds. Very re- spectfully, MASSEY WILSON.

Read Them all Together.

In construing several different sections of the code which relate to the same sub ject matter, 1t is necessary to read them all together, and to interpret them in the light of each other (M. & O. R. R. Co, vs. Malone, 46 Ala, 391 Crawford vs Tyson, 46 Ala, 299)
 It is evident that the section of the code fixing the length of the term (3354 and the section fixing the beginning of the term (303D, and the sections fixing the date of election Q57S) are all cognate or referrable to one general subject No one of the sections is wholly intelligible unless considered in the light of the others. Keeping them all in view, 1 think the meaning of the section fixing the begin ming of the term is more clearly per ceived. When 1t was incorporated into the code, the election was held on the first Monday in August. Its meaning Is the same as If it had said judges of probate shall hold their offices for six years from the 3rd day of November next after their election on the first onday in August. The section of the code fixing the election in August is repealed by implication by the act of the 9th day of October, 1903, fixing the time of the election in November. When a part of a statute is repealed. and it becomes necessary to construe the re- maining part, the repealed portion of the statute may be looked to in ascertaining the meaning of what remains. (Attorney general vs Jamplough, Eng. Law Repts. Ex., D., 227; Savings bank vs. collector, Wall (N. S.), 495. 513; exparte Crow Dog, 109 U. S., 556 56l: ogden vs. Foreman, 20 Utah. 9s. 101) Applying this principle to the question in hand, 1t leads to the con- clusion that the term begins on the 3rd day of November next after the first Mon- day In August of the year of the election, and not on the 3rd day of November next after the election on the first Tuesday af- ter the first Monday in November of the year of the election. It is of no conse- qu nee that the succeeding term will have begun before the election of a successor. The legislature could, and did, fix the date of the election subsequent to the date of the beginning of the term. A hiatus In the offices because of this situation is pre- vented by the provision in the constitu- tion and statute that the incumbents should hold, not only for six years, but also until successors are elected and qual-

Leads to Same Result.

A different line of reasoning leads to the same result. The date of the begin ming of the term of judges of probate was first fixed by statute in the present code. No such statute Is found in the codes of 1sse and 1876. It was simply declaratory of the status in respect of the matter as it existed under the constitution. The con stitution of 1868 declared the term to be six years (article G. section 12). An ordi- nance adopted by the convention of 1868

 Opinion in Full.

Attorney General Massey Wilson is of the opinion that the judges of probate who will be elected Tuesday tomorrow week, will take over their offices as soon thereafter as they can make bond and properly qualify. This is in the face of the fact that the statute says that such officers shall assume their positions on November 3, next after their elee- tion
 The position taken by Mir. Wilson is con- tained in an opinion given the governor on the question of the probate judge sue cession though he same ruling will apply to circuit judges. clerks of the circuit court and ehancellors as well. The men now occupying the positions will hold over until the new men are qualified.
 The new stautes stipulate that the of- ficers named above. whose terms are six years take over tkelr offices on No vember 8 next following their elections. This was worded with the idea that the elections were held in August and the attorney general rules that it should read as If 1t was the November next after the election in August While the August statute has been repealed reference may be allowed to it 70 ascertain the time of the going into office It is also stip- ulated in the constitution that these of ficers are to hold six years and if they were to go over year they woudd be holding time other than constitutionally provided. It has been held by many that the letter of the law is to be observed and the new men no. go in until actually the Sd of November after their election. The attorney general takes the position that the law intended that the officers elected in 1904 should take over their of cices in this year, and has so argued in the onininn which fnllnWs.

Term of Judges of Probate.

tSIHl oi Jdu9cS OI TFopdIcs Hon. R. M. Cunningham, Lieutenant and
 Acting Governor Capitol.
 Dear Sir-ln response to your request, l beg to give you my opinion of the fol- lowing questions of law:
 O. May the judges of probate now in office rightfully continue therein after the 3rd day of November next the date upon which the term of such officers will expire?
 @. When will the successors of such judges, who are to be elected November $, next, be entitled to take charge of their offices?
 (3). If the present judges may hold after November 3, will 1t be necessary for them to give new bonds?
 l will proceed to answer the foregoing questions in the order above stated
 Q). The judges of probate now in of flee may rightfully hold during the in terim between the expiration of their term on November 3, and the time when their successors will be entitled to enter upon the discharge of the duties of their offices. The reasons for this conclusion and the authorities upon which it is based are given at length In an opinion to you relating to the term of justices of the peace, on the 24th day of August, last, and need not be repeated here.
 O. The term of judges of probate is defined in the code to be six years from the 3rd day of November next after their election, md stil their successors are elected and qualified Code, SO54. The judges of probate now in office will have served six years on the 3rd day of No- Vember next, and their successors will have been elected on the Sth day of Mo- Vember next and will have qualified within a short time thereafter The two events will then have happened upon the happening of which the right of the incumbents to the offices was to termln- ate-they will have had their offices for six years, and successors, will have been elected and qualified But the new judges will not be elected till the Sth day of November, and the code declares that their term shall begin on the 3rd day of November next, after their election. The 3rd day of November next, after the Sth day of November 1904 will be the 3rd day of November, 1905. The question. then, is will the new judges not be entitled to their offices till the 3rd day of No | yember 190bP
