If certain plans now in the making carry through. if seems more than prob able that a determined effort will be NaNds at the coming session of the Leg- isEature, to separate Jefferson County rom some of its territory and to an- aex that territory to Walker County.
 According to information received yesterday it is known that such an ekfort is on foot, and that bill pro- vidimg for such redistribution of the territory in question will be presented tor the Legislature to pass upon, pro- vlded certain support is received from Jefferson County people, which the pro- motors feel confident will be forth coming.
 F. R Lacy, who will represent Wal ker County in the Legislature, is one of tho parties back of the movement For several months. he has been strongly interested in the project, and has been working for the support needed which viii enable him to carry the bill Lacy was in the city yesterday and mado a visit to the Capitol.
 Tine territory which the people of walker County seek to annex is that portion lying along the western edge Of 1nnerson County. bounded by that branch of the Frisco Railroad which passes through Quentin, the Black War;
  County line. It includes valuable min eral and farming lands, which will be assesses in the neighborhood of s1,O0o,- eco.
 Is is understood that Mir Lacy feels epnddent Of his ability to secure sup port from Jefferson County people sufft- cfent to carry the project through. There has been a steadily growing feel ing among the several counties of the stafe, that Jefferson County, owing to It's great increase in wealth and popu- lAkion, has begun to acquire too strong q voice in political affairs of the State. Several times during the last few years projects have been suggested which, if carried through. would have the effect of considerably weakening the nower of Jefferson. A movement which has never been carried far enough to threaten the integrity of the county, but which has been agitated more or less by the citizens of Bessemer and surrounding towns, has been that of petitloning the Legislature for the cre- ation of new county from present Jefferson County territory, thus weak anfng the big county and adding one
 unit to the State. Thus far, how aver. the sentiment in the section sur rounding Bessemer, has never been strong enough to encourage such . pe- kition.
