COLLIER HAS CLOSE GALL

Tuscaloosa, November I.-(Special)- Quite an amount of speculation is pre- valent among interested citizens as 'o where the county commissioners and board of public works will locate the new court house, which they have deter mined to build At the time of the gen- eral elections the Tuscaloosa county peo- pie also voted on the issue of bonds Tor the purpose of building a new court nouse' and the only question now remaining Is the selection of a good location The lots which will perhaps receive consideration are the present location of the court house, the half block upon which tue opera house formerly stood, and the old jail site, which is still the property oi the county. Quite number of citizens are highly in favor of the county's buy ing an entire block, and surrounding the court house with a park, after the st5 ie of a number of the older towns in tic south. Tuscaloosa will in fact be vastly improved when the public and quasi pub lie buildings now in the course of coii- struction or contemplated construction are completed The Masons' temple IS growing daily, the Elks' new and elegant little theatre is about completed, With all initial performance booked for the fourth of next month. and the $lOO000 court house and sl5O.O0O government building are as- Sured

OWenton Colleue.

The North Alabama Conference col lege at Birmingham has filed notice with the secretary of state that a change has been made in the charter providing that hereafter vacancies in the board of trustees will be filled by nomination and election by the North Alabama con ference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south. Heretofore the nominations have been made by the other trustees. The resolution is signed by R. s. Munger, president of the board of trustees, and Frank P. Culver, secretary.
 This is the Methodist school for boys in North Alabama, IS the Southern uni versity is for the southern part of the state. There has been for years a dis position on the part of some to have the trustees elected by the conference, 1t be- Ing thought best for them to be chosen by the men on the board, but the plan was amended some time since to have them elected by the conference and now the conference will have the entire charge of it.
 This school has fine lot of buildings at Owenton. just outside of Birmingham, and is attracting the attention of some of the best educat tional minds of the state President John R. Turner is one of the youngest preachers of the North Ala bama conference.

FERTILIZER RATES
 COMING UP AGAIN
South Alabama Citizens Are
 Circulating Petition
NEW PLAN AT 0WENT0N
Trustees in Future Are to Be Nom- mated By North Alabama Confer ence-Other News of
 Montgomery.

Montgomery, November H.-(Speeial.)- The fight for lower freight rates on fer tilizer seems about to be reopened, evil dently with the intention of having the new railroad commission take it up as soon as it comes into office, though it is expected that another effort will be made to have the present commission regulate the traffic. The matter is to be presented to the commission by citizens of South Alabama, where a petition is now being circulated to that effect.
 It will be recalled that shortly after B. B. Conner, governor-elect became president of the state railroad commis- sion, he brought the matter of ferti- lizer rates before the commission and as a result a sitting of the commission was ordered to hear evidence. Out of this grew a movement to revise all the rates and from 1t came a decision on the part of the two associates, President Conner dissenting, to the effect that the rates were not too high, under the circum- stances.
 In this petition which will likely come before the commission at its next sit ting, or not later than the January meet ing, it is charged that the rates on fer tilizers are about half what they are in Georgia and that the farmers of one state are put to much larger expense than their neighbors just across the line. The petition goes on to say:
 The rate on ton of fertilizers, charged by the Central of Georgia, from Columbia. Ala, on the state line, to Bakey. Ga, about twelve miles is 90 cents. The rate on the same road from Columbia to Webb, Ala, about twelve miles, is Sl 40 The rate on the same road from Dothan to Taylor, about six miles, is 80 cents'' It is then charged that while the Coast Line charges in Ala bama for 50 to 55 miles is $1 50, the Cen tral of Georgia charges S2. 50, and that in Mississippi and Louisiana, the charge for the same distance is 75 cents. Also that the Mobile and Ohio in Alabama has a rate of s1 20 for 30 to 55 miles. as compared to $1. .0S in Georgia and S120 in Arkansas.
 The argument is then made that ferti- lizers are entitled to a special rate, the petition taking up the argument pre- sented by MT. Conner some time ago, for the reason that it brings about larger crops and produces therefore. a large amount of class tonnage. The petition then closes: We desire a fair and equit- able rate. If, unlike neighboring states, the railroad commission of Ala bama has not the power to make and enforce a freight rate in Alabama, which is a just one then we authorize the use of our names to a petition to the legislature of Alabama. asking that such a power be granted it. We further request the commission to which this petition is addressed, to formulate a law by which this revised rate can be granted and put into effect"

important Ruling.

The circuit court of Montgomery coun- ty has made a ruling that will likely effect corporations in all parts of the state and will be fought out to a finish in the courts. It is to the effect that where a corporation has part of it's capital in mortgages and those mort gages are taxed as such, the tax on that much of the stock in the regular way cannot be collected. In other words, the owners do not have to pay twice on the same money.
 The governor has revoked the parole of Enos Franklin of Marengo county, who was convicted of assault and given term of three years. After one year of service he was released on parole but 1t having been shown to the governor that he has violated his parole, back to the pen he goes without the right to claim good behavior credit.
 The secretary of state is today send ing out certificates of election to con- gressmen who were elected at the re- cent state election.

Capt w A. Collier had quite marrow escape a night or so ago while asleep a his home on Queen City avenue. l. seems that some one who had taken on too much whisky and who was also in the possession of pistol was taking Ia the town. and as he passed Captain Col Hers residence began firing his pistol in a very reckless manner One of the shots fired crashed through the window of Captain Golfers room and embedded itself in the bed post just few inches from his head. Captain Collier was al once aroused and immediately telephoned the police, who responded promptly, and in less than an hour had the guilty party. The gentleman. who was John Adams by name, was arraigned before the mayor and suffered heavy fines in two cases which had been docketed against him, dls- charging fire arms in the city and carry ing concealed weapons.
