The subject of dispute is an alley way running between Wood ave- nue and Walnut street two of the promi- nent residence streets of the city The alley had been open for couple of de- cades when abutting property owner decided to close it up. The residents on Walnut street objected to this and the matter was referred to the city council for adjudication.

Porter, making over to the parties who had complained of the closing of the alley, all the citys rights in the matter. with the privilege if they saw fit of en- tering into a law suit to protect their rights This is the status of the case at the present time, the owners of adjoining property holding that in consideration of taxes paid the city should protect them In their rights.

Athens December 2S.-(Special )--Lime- stone had her tragedy during the holi- days. resulting in the death of negro who attempted to kill an officer of the law. At Elkmont negro from Brming- ham was on a visit and raised a row with local negro and the two were arrested by Policeman Henry Nichols, who was escortng them to the mayors office.
 When about to enter the office of the mayor, and just in front of the negroes, the negro, Alex Mcdonald, who was from Birmingham, drew revolver from his pocket and opened fire on the policeman, who was within arms reach, but evi- dently the negro was excited and too drunk to shoot we'll for of the three shots fred only one took effect, and that a mere scratch, but was forcble enough to give the officer consd""""'0 "e'r a"d throw him.

 While standing in the midst of large number of people some one fired load of buckshot Into the body of the negro. which laid him low and 1t was said that more than a hundred shots were fired into the body.

think when they are asked to prepare themselves for voting in November by registering, paying poll tax, etc? Why, naturally they would wonder why they were not given a voice in the naming of the man for whom they would be ex- peeted to vote.
 "Of course 1t would be pleasant 10 have the primary and be over with 1t. Pleasant for the candidates and to some extent for the members of the party, but there are other things than pleasure to be consid cred. It will be vastly to the convenience of the farming interests to have the elec- tion after the crops are laid by and the more l consider the matter the more firm ly convinced l am that it will subserve the best all around interests of those con cerned to hold the primary in August"
 Mir Mallory Is also In receipt of letters from members of the Alabama delegation in Congress expressing the hope that the primary will not be held until August, and giving a reason therefor that if they are called upon to take part in the primary beyond the mere casting of their votes 1t will be impossible for them to leave their duties in Washington during the early part of the long session of Con gress: that important matters are expect ed to come up when to be absent from their seats will be a gross direlection of duty and which they cannot afford to do even at the cost of personal loss.
 When these facts are presented to the committee on January 9 there Is little room to doubt that there will be no con troversy as to the date being set after the first day of August.
