HEFLIN WORKING
 FOR COURT HOUSE
EXCITING CONTEST IS EXPECTED IN cLEBURNE COUNTY OVER THE REMOVAL OF STRUCTURE FROM EDWARDsVILLE.

Anniston, December 1.-(special.) )-col. J. B. Merrill, a popular attorney of Ed wardsville, states that there is likely to be an exciting contest in Cleburne county soon over the court house removal ques- ton.
 Edwardsville is now the county site. but the enterprising little city of Hefin wants the adjustment of judicial matters in its town and will attempt to get the voters of the county to decide. Five hun dred voters of the county must petition for such an election before it can be or dered. Such a petition is now in circula- tion and is being rapidly signed.
 Heflih claims that the greater number of voters in the county live contiguous to that town, and that a much greater amount of taxes Is paid by the people live ing nearer that town than to Edwards vile, therefore the court house with all it's conveniences should be located there. The contest will be very warm and spirited one.

silent as to whether or not person who Is not a qualified elector may hold an elective office. In many Jurisdictions 1t Is held on what. may be. termed general principles of the common political law that he cannot, but even in these jurisdic- tions it Is generally held that if he quail fes as an eleetor before the beginning or his term he Is eligible"
 Commissioners Hold.
 In the Calhoun county commissioners court case, the attorney general says; T am of the opinion that the local act pro- viding for the election of county com n1issioners in Talladega and Calhoun counties was not repealed by the general election law, and the commissioners rom the First and Third districts are entitled to hold for two years longer. He IS not clear about the authority to elect two men this year, and thinks that the better course would probably be to issue com missions to those declared to be elected as these would only give right to take or flee 'as prescribed by law and that TIT the term does not begin until two years hence the holders of the commissions would not be entitled to enter upon the duties until then"
 In the case of J. w Bennett, and the commissioners court of Cleburne county, the attorney general also concludes that the local law Is not repealed by the general jaw. and that appointed men arc entitled to the place until the law by which they are put is declared Illegal He savs q have read the local statute upon tha subject and I am of the opin ion that 1t is not repealed by the gen eral law and that MT. Bennett Is en- titled to hold his place for two years yet"
 The Mobile Inferior Civil Court Is also questioned but has not come up to the attorney general of the supreme court yet. It has been declared unconstltuton al by the chancellor but on what partlc ular ground is not yet known here. This court was provided by the last legisla- ture in compliance with Section 16S of the constitution, which allows places where one or more beats are inside city or partly inside an inferior court may be established to take the place of the justices os the peace.
