To the People of Jefferson County. This day puts the seal of your approval upon the acts of your duly accredited representative who declared Colonel Hig- don the nominee of the democratic party. This action has already received the en- dorsement of that great public sentiment brameter, the democratic newspapers of the state as if with one voice.
 This day you will register your disap- proval of the partisan acts of a proxy packed committee, who have, with brazen audacity, undertaken to set aside the eX- pressed will of the democrats of Jefferson county. The steady stream of democrats that will peacefully, but firmly, approach the polls to exercise their highest pre- negatives as American citizens, will pile mp such an avalanche of votes for Col. E. L. Higdon for sheriff that the conspira- tors against a free ballot and fair count will be overwhelmed.
 This fight, now won, has been fight against ballot theives, and those who consipred to have not only the Lewisburg box stolen, but others, if need be. Con- spirators who grow fat and insolent by prior acts of corruption and ballot raping, boldly determined not to surrender their entrenched positions, but more, to force the payment of large sums wagered on the result.

Funeral arrangements will be made on arrival. The coroner's jury met in Birmingham to receive any further information con- corning the body recently found in the septic plant at the end of the Jefferson county sewer, but it is not believed that any additional evidence was produced.

BERLIN MEETINGS
OFFER PROTESTS
Police Take Precautions to Pre-
vent Breaches of Peace in
Halls.
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Jan. 2l.-The Socialist meet
ings held here to-day passed OF with
complete quiet. The halls, which were
filled to overfowing were closed by the
police half an hour before the speaking
commenced. Strong resolutions OF sym
pathy with the Russian revolutionists
were passed and protests against the
present tripartite suffrage system in
Prussia were adopted.
The police had taken extraordinary pre-
cautions to prevent breaches of the
peace. Extra forces of policemen occu-
pied rooms adjacent to the, halls where
meetings are held. and were in readiness
to act on a moments notice. They had
also prohibited access to the galleries Of
the halls for the reason that. in case
OF an outbreak, 1t will be difficult to
dislodge the rioters, who would have the
advantage of firing on the police from
above.
The speakers urged the crowds to re-
tire from the halls in an orderly manner
and to go quietly to their homes. This
advice was obeyed to the letter. There
was no attempt made at street demon
strations.
