 Dear Sir-We the undersigned probate judge, clerk of the circuit court. and sheriff of Jefferson county, Alabama, re- quest you to furnish us with four names of qualified voters in each precinct in Jefferson county from which we can se- lect managers and returning officers for the election to be held in this county on Monday, October 2S, 1907. Please furnish us this list not later than Thursday. Oc- tober 3, 1907. by a. m. Respectfully,

 Probate Judge.
 WALTER K. M'ADORY,
 Clerk Circuit Court.
 E. L. HIGDON, Sheriff This, together with the preparation of poll lists. is the first active step under way preparatory to the prohibition cleo ton. There are several clerks in the pro bate judges office busily engaged In pre- pairing the poll lists. but it will be some time before they can be completed.
 In reference to local option elections a special act provides that the election board is empowered to appoint three man. agers and one returning officer from each box. As there are about forty eight beats in the county, this means that about 250 officers will have to he appointed. Some of the beats have more than one box, and the total number is about sixty-five.
 There will be three managers at each box, and this will necessarily give one side or the other two managers, In which instance they will have the right to name the clerks. It will be arranged, however, so that both sides will be fairly repre- scnted.
 The board will meet next Thursday morning at o'clock, and will begin the work of naming the officers for the cleo ton.

 Since he has been in jail here he says his eyes have been affected, causing near sightedness, but otherwise he states that he is in as good condition as he was when brought here. He says he is now of about normal weight at 150 pounds. All I need" he said lis a lot of good stiff exercise"
 It was some time before Solicitor lief lin came into court and Rooney became somewhat restless about being turned loose"
 He was asked where he was going for the night. and he told the inquirers that Nlr. Davis was going to look out for him. It Is understood that he will stay With Mr. Davis for several days, at least.
 When Rooney left the court room he rolled cigarette which he smokes all most constantly. and with sprngy step. though somewhat stopped shoulders, walked down the hall. accompanied by Attorneys Gibson and Davis. who for nearly two years have stood for the inno- cence of James Rooney.
 So. it happens that Rooney IS appar- ently not the right man. and If this IS so, New York Harry" Is still at large.
