D|SPENSARY FOUND UNCONSTITUTIONAL Uniontown Case Heard by Judge
 Partridge MATT IS TO BE APPEALED E. H. R. Glass, Jr., Is Conducting the Fight Against the Dispensary
 Which Is Operating In
 Uniontown.
MATER IS TO BE APPEALED

Selma, November 19.-(Specia1.) )--Yester- day and today Judge Daniel Partridge of the circuit court has been hearing argu- ments in the quo warranto proceedings brought by E. H. R. Glass Jr, of Union town against the municipality of Union- town requiring the latter to show by what right of law it conducted a dispensary. The city, of course, set up that it was operating by right of law passed by the last legislature and MT. Glass. through his attorneys, Pettus & Jeffries and Charles G. Browne, attacked the constitu- tionality of the local law, setting up that sufficient notice had not been given as required by the constitution. The con solidated court bill of Jefferson was cited as a precedent the insufficiency of notice being that the substance of the bill passed was not set out.
 Contrary to this the municipality set up that the supreme court had defined the meaning of the word dispensary. and that when 1t was cited that the bill would provide for dispensary the substance of the measure was immediately conveyed to every mind.
 
 was unconstitutional and therefore the city of Uniontown had no lawful right to conduct dispensary An appeal will be taken to the supreme court, now in session, and pending the decision of that tribunal bond will be given and the dis pensary continued in operation.
 The legal fight between Uniontown and Mr Glass has grown out of the latter dis posing of liquor in the city and having been arrested and fined in the mayors court.
 He appealed to the circuit court on the latter charge, and was dismissed by Judge Partridge owing to there being no law on the city statutes against his conduct ing the saloon. There are pending indct- meuts against him in the circuit court which will be nullifed should the supreme court affirm the decision of Judge Partridge. declaring the local dlspensary law unconstitutional.

LOSING MUCH OF

 His Position on the Tariff.
CONDITIONS DEMAND 1T

Washington. November 19-(Special)- Eugene N. Foss of Massachusetts, who vas a caller at the White House today. told the President that there ought to be an extra session of congress to revise the tariff. He considers 1t political nee- essity, if nothing else, claiming that Gov ernor-elect Douglas owes his election to the stand he took on the question dur ing the last campaign.
 Douglas was undoubtedly elected by reason of his position on the tariff ques- tlon." said MT. Foss. Republicans may attempt to disguise Chat as much as they desire, but the fact remains that this was the only question Douglas urged ill Lis speeches

 We need the Canadian market for the extension of our business and We need it badly. Canada Is buying less of our goods right along. 1t is a fact that at least $l,00O,000 of American money has gone into Canada and become invested In manufacturing along American lines. This shows that we are losing the Ca nadian market by reason of our tariff rates. and that Americans are making goods to suit the Canadians in this eoun- l try.
 l We need the raw material of Canada and we need it's market for our fin- l ished products.

 "Of course we understand that revision cannot be accomplished at this short ses- sion but we believe it would be good policy to let the public know that the ad- ministration proposes to insist on tariff notifications.
 Hope for Special Session.
 we are hoping and expecting that the President will call a special session of congress in April or May to take up the subject. It must be done. In my judg- ment nothing will save the republican party from defeat next time if 1t fails to deal with the tarlnf; and the sooner the revision is made the better for the party.

 Dear Slr-Inclosed 1 send you my check for $25 as a small subscription to- ward the erection of the monument in memory of the late Gen. John B. Gordon.
 Just before he died he visited the Tuskegee institute and spoke in our chapel to our students and teachers to- gethor with large number of white and colored citizens, and his instructive, ten der and sympathetic words will remain for a long time one of the most precious memories of this institution.
 q am led to make this contribution further because General Gordon repre- sented in a most perfect degree the eulti- vated, brave and unselfish southern man who was not only interested in the white race but in the elevation of my own peo- ple. He was indeed a true type of the connecting link between the best class of southern white people and the truest type of my own race, and l believe that in the future there will be many to emu late his example.
