matter of dividing the county into dis
tricts for the. election of members of the
legislature as provided in the motion of

Candidates for Sheriff.
There are perhaps dozen aspirants
for the office OF sheriff which is the
most lucrative public office in Alabama.

cludes Walter Moore, Harry Jones, Capt.
Frank p. 0'Brien Albert Stradford, e. l..
Higdon, Capt. J.. ID. Handy James A.
Downey. w. r. Watkins, Hugh MCGEE
YER Judge J.. p. Stiles and several others.
1t is believed that ex-Mayor w. Mel
vile Drennef1 will enter the race for sena-
tor from Jefferson county. This is the
only name mentioned in connection with
the race for this office. 1t is generally
admitted that Hugh Morrow will not
stand for reelection for the Senate. Bir-
mingham presents the names of several
lawyers for members of the lower house,
among them W. e. Urquhart, Henry
White. III. c. Bullock, J. T. Glover, w.
T. Stewart and CT S. Shugart. Candi-
dates for the legislature will probably de-
velop in other sections of the county.
