 The Dlspensary Issue.
 Since the dfspensary issue won in this County last August it has been the understanding that no effort would be made to close up the saloons of Huntsville until July 1, 1907, but 1t now appears the members of the Legisla- ture representing Madison County will try to enact a law closing them Feb ruary I. This measure will bring on fight. as bitter as tho dispensary campaign. 1t is understood the op- ponents of the dispensary VIII seek ID have a general local option bill en- acted to include Madison County. and not have it excluded. as appears to be the intention of the dispensary people. The lines between the two political ele- ments are as sharply drawn as ever.
 2 A rumor is current in political cir cles that Judge Thomas R. Roulhac will not be in the field for re-appoint- ment as United States Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama and that the patronage referees, Messrs Themp- son and Scott will suggest the name of Hon. oscar R. Hundley of this city for the appointment. MT ,Hundley, it is believed, will not be required to make a formal application for the po- sitIon and his friends believe he Is winner. Some of the leading Republi- cans of the state 1t is said, will ask for the office.
