Writes An Open Letter to the Editor of
 The Advertiser.
 Editor The Advertiser;
 I have always loved the grand old State of Alabama, but me and Saman- tha, that is my old oman, have about
 Now, me and Samantha went to town last Saturday and l heard tell up there by some of them feilers what have nothing to do but read the papers, that the Legislature had made a mess of the laws and that my justice court was no good on account of Lusk bill that was not passed and that them guys thought was passed. don't know what a bill that was not passed has to do with 1t, but 1 know this, that if them fellows don't know what they are doing they must keep out of my yard looking for votes. Me and Samantha have made a vow not to feed any more candidates for the Legislature that don't know how to make law that can stand the test of back woods justice court. Neither are we going to vote for such cattle.
 Now, MT. Editor. I want to know what all this means any way and when will be Justified in calling my honor breaking the constitution of the grand old State love. understand that the Legislature was drunk when they passed the aforesaid tSsk tSsx Si passing a bill of fare or a grocery store on the corner. If this Is so I want to know it, too. I haven't held a court about this unconstitutional arrange ment and I want to Know as soon as possible as I have two cases that are spelling to be tried and more than that me and Samantha need the costs I am going to get out of them to get us a new alpacca dress.
 hear tell also that not law passed by the last Legislature will hold l u. At fA be called together before the printer can have some thing to print in the acts of the Legislature, that the State would not be ashamed of. think and distributed over the State so that the people could know just what we have got in the way of lawmakers. tell you. it Is a disgrace and I am mantha says she is too. think ev- cry bloomin idiot of them ought to be made to go back to Montgomery, pay their own board and stay there until jerked In the string of government al affairs and not ask a cent salary. Me and Samantha pay our part or the taxes that goes to pay for all this tom ting tired of having our money squan- dered in any such way. Samantha concurs in the opinion of the court.
 The only consolation I see in he WnOle business IS that tHe LcS lSldluTH only meets once in four years. It takes three years to straighten out the kinks of one session and then the ex- trava gance of the luxury is too dear for hardworking people.
 have also been told that a major tty of the members of the last Legs- lature were lawyers. I don't believe this. I think 1t Is all joke and a burlesque on the poor fellows that just don't know any better. Really, think we deserve all the shame that has been heaped on us for not electinG lawyers 10 this position. Lawyers would know if a law was good and would get 1t right before leaving 1T to go on the statute books of our grand old State.
 Howsome ever let her slide. I guess me and Samantha can make living on our garden truck if my court does go to smash. but nevertheless and not withstanding I would like to know just how the things stands up to date. Yours in shame, Ezekiel Suggs, Esquire.
