Mumt See Money Pass.

City Attorney Smith today rendered an opinion which grew out of the com plaint made to Mayor Ward by people living in the residential district to the effect that a well known chartered club was operating gambling on a large scale. The attorney holds that the only manner in which a conviction can be secured is for the arresting oficer to see money actually exchanged and passed during the game. >-

In police court this morning there appeared before Mayor Atkins a negro by the name of Henry Harvey who was accused of assault and battery. liar vey works at brick yard and yester- day during the middle of the day he went to his home and beat up his cook and washwoman without any cause.
 The woman had him arrested and hired a lawyer to prosecute the case. The evidence showed that the man had hit and kicked the woman and her mother. simply because of some mis- understanding. Mayor Atkins stated that he had tried his best by imposing heavy, fines to get the negro men to stop lighting and beating the negro women of the city, but that the fines he had assessed In previous% cases seemed to do no good and he would give Harvey the limit and that he would have to pay or work it out on the streets. A fine of Sl00 or ninety lays on the streets was assessed.

City Council Meeting.

Alhthb tOQdy A SpeCIaI, meeting OI the City Council was held this afternoon at 5 o'clock to consider some altera- tions in the lease from the Society of United Charities of their hospital building, and also to consider the talk ing of of quarantine inspectors. The meeting was presided over by Council man Meyer and was in session one hour.
 After the meeting was opened Mrs. E. H. Hobbs, president of the Society of United Charities and Col. S. w. Johns of Birmingham, who had ac- companied her here, lwere introduced to the council. A note received by 'jected to several little passages in the lease. One of the clauses in the lease gave the city the refusal of the build ing as long as 1t was wanted at the same rent. Mrs. Hobbs objected to this on the ground that the society did not know what rent it would want for the place next year and while 1t agreed that the city could have the refusal of the building as long as 1t wanted it. the rent could be agreed upon each year and there would then be no misunderstanding. The amend ment to this clause was agreed upon.
 Objection was also made to the part contained in the contract which re- ferred to harboring of infectious and incurable diseases, the bone or conten- ton being the incurable diseases and the word "incurable" was stricken out and the contract for the building was finally agreed upon by both parties.
 The question of the city taking or it's quarantine inspectors was then taken up and the question caused con siderable discussion and amusement, and at times the entire council burst out in laughter at some remark Of some member. Mayor Atkins address ed the council on the question ana stated that in his opinion the city of fIcers should be taken of. He said that in a conversation he had two weeks, ago with County Health Omcer Gay he had advised that they should be taken off. pr. Gay then addressed the meeting and stated that in his opinion the inspectors should be taken off all the trains except the Louisville and Nashville which ran to Flomaton. He thought that the State quarantine service was sufficient to meet all re- ouirements. He advised that the city should not lift its quarantine procla- nation but rather make It conform with the States proclamation.
 E,verv member present except one maae some remark on the question some of them being in favor or taxing off the inspectors and others wanting them to remain Councilman Meyer was in favor of keeping them on and said that the $15O per month that the city expended this way was, in ms opinion, money well spent. seVeral motions were made which were amend ed and withdrawn and during some discussion one motion which had been seconded by some member was forgot ten and no one could tell who had sec onded 1t.
 Councilman Berry finally moved that all the quarantine inspectors except the one who went to Flomaton should be taken off tomorrow. This motion was carried and leaves Mayor Atkins and County Health Officer Gay in all most the same position as they were before the meeting, except that the Council has said when the inspectors should be taken off.

of trial in MT. Emmersons's justice court sometime ago. Complaint was made to him against a negro woman for obscene and abusive language in the presence of females. The woman was arrested and brought before Jus tfce Emmerson. She pleaded guilty to the offense and was fined $l0 and costs.
 The woman's husband then ap- preached Justice Emmerson and of- fered to let him hold three cows that he owned until he could get the money to pay the fine and costs. Mir Elm merson would not take the cows, as the fine had to be paid in cash. The deputy constable of his court, it is stated, advanced the money to the man until he could sell the cows. The cows were brought to the city and sold and the negro then went to see some attorneys and explained the matter to them.
 An appeal bond was made and the negro sent back to Justice Emmerson. The bond was presented to him, but he refused to approve 1t. as the wo- man had pleaded guilty to the charge against her. The suit is based on his refusing to approve the appeal bond.
