Meet. Wednesday Night.

urday as scheduled. When the hour for the meeting to convene arrived there was not a quorum present and an adjournment was taken until We'd nesday night at 7:30 o'clock. The meeting which has been postponed three times promises to be lengthy and exciting one when 1t takes places.
 Probably the most important busi- ness before the meeting will be the awarding of the contract for building the union slaughter house.
 It Is also likely that the Selma wa ter Works Company will petition the city to appoint another arbitrator in stead of T. J. Nicols of Mobile, who was appointed by the city In the water controversy some weeks ago.

Interest iu Jenerson Judgeships.


 Considerable activity was manifested yesterday among the members of the Jefferson County delegation and the visitors to the city in regard to the f1ll- ing of the new judgeships in Jeffer- son County. There are certainly two, and possibly three new positions on the bench of the big Birmingham County to be selected, and the rivalry among the friends of the various prominent mem- bers of the bar there who have been mentioned for the positions has devel- oped almost into a scramble.
 Just who will secure the positions Is not yet settled--even the manner of their selection, upon whose recommen- dation, c.,--has not been clearly out lined But all the candidates have warm friends who are working hard. and it is declared that not a man has been mentioned for the woolsack who would not be an ornament to the bench of the State.
 There was some talk yesterday that a meeting of the Bar Association of Birmingham would be called, and that upon It's action would depend in large measure the names of the men to be appointed to the coveted 3udgeships.

either in the city or country. 1t shall come to a full stop.
 Under that provision" said one or Senator Blackmon's colleagues yester- day, ."it would be impossible Tor an auto here in Montgomery, or In any other city in the State, to get started at all Like the Irishman's boot, that he thought he would have to wear TOT a few weeks before he could get It on. the autos would all have to go out several miles in the country to get started. Who could conceive of getting into an auto. here at the Exchange Ho- tel for illustration, and starting to go in any direction, at any hour of the day, without meeting e horse. It sim- ply could not be done.
 There are features of the bill that are all right, though, for the matter of that we have very good automobile law now on the statute books, if 1t were only enforced. I have an idea, though, that the Blackmon bill will be passed all right, but the drastic features will be cut out
 It Is announced from Birmingham that & delegation representing the Bir- mingham Auto Club will come to Mont gomery to protest against the passage of the bill, without being amended to such an extent as will permit the au- tomobiles to continue in service.

at this place. Many of our residents
stated that their supply Of coal would
be exhausted in a day or two. and
reports from the country were to the
effect that many Of our farmers were
completely out and we're using max
