Demopolis Court Bill.

From prominent citizens in the city to-
day from Marengo county is learned that
there is considerable discussion over that
county anent the proposed bill to be in
troduced in the legislature giving a city
court to Demopolis Demopolis is in the
extreme northern end of the county and
there have always been differences of
opinoin as to the court question, the coun-
ty seat being Linden.
1t is understood that the senator and
two representatives from Marengo are
agreed on giving to Demopolis a city
court, such as Selma, Gadsden, Admission
and other cities. Some of the Linden
and South Marengo citizens will protest
against this measure, declaring that it
will be inimicable to their interests. They
declare that even if the bill passes Gov
ernor Conner will be importuned to. veto
it. The friends of the measure point out
clearly the necessity for the court. They
show that in bad weather the citizens of
Demopolis have to come to Selma, fifty
miles, and then go fifty-one miles to Lin
den a total of 101 miles, to attend court
only eighteen miles distant.

WANT ANOTHER COURT.
Lawyers of Madison County Will Work
for Law and Equity Court.

Huntsville, December 29-(Special)-
The members of the huntsville Bar as
ISOLATION held a special meeting last night
and recommended the enactment of law
creating a law and equity court in this
city. with jurisdiction concurrent with the
circuit and chancery courts, also the es-
adjustment Of a court of inferior juris-
diction to replace the three justice courts
of Huntsville.
The proposed law and equity court
would be the same as city courts in other
cities, and would facilitate the trial OF
civil cases as well criminal cases OF
all kinds The members Of the bar do
not contemplate making any changes in
the eighth judicial circuit or the chan
Gerry court division. They wish the two
courts to remain as they are. except that
the terms of the circuit court will be
reduced from four annually to two. The
inferior court proposed would do away with
the county court held by the probate
Judge as well as the justice courts of tho
city. and misdemeanOr and small civil
cases would he tried there. Lawrence
Cooper r. f.. Smith and Tancred Belts
have been named as Il committee to draft
a bill covering the recommendations OF
the association.

STANFORD WINS IN
WILCOX MIDDLE
Judge Miller Rules Against
Capt. J. F. Foster
MARRY ON SHORT NOTICE
A Couple In Selma Get Acquainted In
the EVENING and Are Married
Next Morning at II
O'Clock.
MARRY ON SHORT NOTICE

Selma, December 80 - Especially In
Camden, Wilcox county Friday, Judge
B. NJ. Miller, circuit judge of the Fourth
circuit, decided the probate judge muddlc
of Wilcox county in favor of w. j..
Stanford, the candidate elected in No
vember, as against Capt. j. F. Foster,
the appointee of Governor Jelks, who was
named to fill the unexpired term of the
lamented James T. Beck.
1t will be recalled that Judge Beck died
Sunday night, May 6, at 1890, and ac-
cording to the constitutional provision if
six months intervenes before the mex.
regular election the appointment to fill
the vacancy is to extend only to the
regular election. Capt. j. F. Foster was
appointed and set up the claim that his
term would not expire until two years
hence, as Judge Beck's death occurred
within less than six months of the gem
eral election. However, through some
sort of agreement Judge Foster and
others, among them Captain Stanford,
submitted their names in the primary
election last August, Judge Foster lead
ing in the first contest but being defeated
by about thirty votes in the run off in
which all the defeated candidates COM
bined against him.
At first Jurge Foster refused to place
the name of Captain Stanford on the bal
lots for the regular election in Novem-
Der, claiming there was no vacancy in
the office He later decided to do so and
then await quo warranto proceedings to
GUST him, which were instituted and de-
cided on yesterday in favor of Captain
Stanford. An appeal was taken, however
to the supreme court and will come up as
soon as possible.

Henderson and Fort.

The elevation of Charles Henderson to
the head Of the railroad commission is in
line with what many expected when he
was chosen a member Of the commission.
AS a merchant and citizen he has become
known for soundness Of Judgment and
conservatism, and friends of the rail-
roads indicate that they do not fear but
he will treat them justly - am feeling
already the responsibility of such an inn
portant position, and need the encourage
ment and best wishes Of my friends" he
said to a friend one day this week. "It
Is only by correct action that I expect to
retain the confidence of my friends and
their advice and suggestions will always
be> gladly received"
w. e. Fort who Is to be the private
secretary to tho new governor. is anxious
to give the very best service to the state
and the administration. While here this
week he said: Il am very thankful for
the expressions of good will on the part
of my friends. 1t Is heartily appreciated.
and ! trust / may be able to serve the
people of the state with satisfaction" 1t
is well known that Mr. Fort was doubtful
Of the good Judgment Of accepting the
appointment. and many Of his friends
thought he had made mistake in so do
ing. However, others have pointed OUT
to him that he owed the service to the
administration he had been identified
with and that argument caused him to
accept.

ARE INSOLVENT
REPRESENTATIVE OF RECEIVERS
OF MOBILE, JACKSON AND KAN
SAS CITY SAYS HE WAS STOCK
HOLDER IN ALA. SECURITIES co.

Mobile, December 29-T l.. Chadbourn,
Jr., member of the firm of New York
lawyers which is representing the re-
ceivers of the Mobile Jackson and Kan
sas City Railway company, has filed an
affidavit in connection with the bill, al
leging that he was stakeholder in the
road and a large owner of stock in the
Alabama Securities company, and was an
active factor in the affairs of both CON
Germs; that the Securities company, pur-
chased the entire stock of the Chicago
and Gulf Railway company for the sum
of $40, 900; that Alexander Mcdonald, w.
d. Stratton and e. X. Stallo own or
control majority of the stock of the
Securities company, but that by reason
OF his interests in the Securities COM
pany, up to the latter part of 1903, he
was entirely familiar with the transact
tons of the Mobile, Jackson and Kan
sas City road and the Securities COM
pany, and owing to his interest as bond
and stock holder of the Chicago and Gulf
railway he has since the above date kept
in touch with the transactions of STRAIT
ton, Stallo and Mcdonald and the COM
panes they control
He alleges that they have made charges
against the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas
City company in favor of the Securities
company for alleged extra services and
expenditures aggregating s1,163,36 3d. and
that by virtue of their control of the
railroad company and the Securities COM
pany, they have had the former admit
liability by controct with the Securities
company to the extent of $4,000 on
fraudulent and unwarranted claims, and
further that they caused the Securities
company to be credited with 1886, 1851. 81 on
claims usually as unwarranted and fraud
ulent. Mr.. Chadbourne claims that the
Securities company has no assets in Ala
Dama that can be reached by law, and
that the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas
City and Chicago and Gulf companies
are hopelessly insolvent.
Il. X. Stewart, formerly auditor of the
Mobile Jackson and Kansas City COM
pany, and who resigned a short time ago,
makes affidavit to the effect that under
instructions from the president of the
road at the time he was auditor he was
ordered to make fictitious entries to the
credit of permanent improvement with
a counter charge against operating ex-
penses so as to make the earnings of the
road apparently exceed its operating ex
penses and fixed charges, whereas in fact
the earnings were not sufficient to cover
operating expenses and fixed charges;
and that these fictitious entries caused
the books of the company to show net
earnings instead of a deficit.

New Appointment.

While there has been much discussion
of the recent announcement Of Governor
Conner concerning the appointment of
men to be with him at the state capitol.
there has been no outspoken criticism SO
far as the general run of men can hear.
On the other hand many expressions OF
approval have been heard. To be sure,
men who were on the other side i'm the
race in the primaries think that they
know other fellows who would have done
better but Conner followers have agreed
in general unanimity.
There is. however, marked regret at the
retirement Of DR.. Shirley Bragg and NJ.
w Camper from the convict board. Es-
peoially Is this so with regard to Or.
Bragg. he having been the developer Of
the present system of health provisions
ON the board as a result of which tho
death rate Is lower with the prisoners
than with free people Of the same classes.
Mr.. Camper has been on the board only
a part of one term, but has made many
friends in the state and at the capital.

They should make 1t a practice to use
some tried and reliable remedy like Stu

of the sudden attacks of acute Indigestion.
The use of these tablets is not to be

very elements which nature provides the

There is no secret in their preparation
they are absolutely pure, and therefore
all the world uses them.
No matter how disordered the stomach

None of the saloons of Huntsville will
quit business the first of the year. al

dispensary. Petitions for state and coun-
ty saloon licenses are being filed in the
probate court and all the saloon proprie-
tors will take out licenses for the whole
year. No saloon man will quit business
