 This unprecedented city registra- tion is a mystery to me-" said a local politician yesterday T could under, stand It if there was a hot municipal to be Mayor and live city issues to be settled But the only Issues to be set- tied are the issues that grow out or the conflicting ambition of worthy cit- less job of Alderman. There is but one explanation to the record break ing registration and that is that each candidate for Alderman is making per- sonal appeals to his friends to go to the pJolls and register, but that expIana- ton is hardly adequate.
 No set of candidates ever before had so many friends. There were nev- CT before so many voters to be regis tered. Back of it all looms up that fact that Montgomery is continually growing, fact that looms up when 'sThe growth of the city is indicated by the registration in Ward 2, the su- burban ward of the city When ward years ago it had but 100 voters AL ready that many voters have been reg istered during the first four days of didates in that ward say that this year the vote will undoubtedly be more than 200."

The letter of Thomas Hudson of Uniontown. on the soil, climate. health, people and general conditions of the black belt of Alabama, especially in Hale, Perry and Marengo counties is a splendid immigration document. It has been published in some of the papers in Michigan and Wisconsin and the Immigration Commissioner of Alabama will spend money well by giving it extensive publicity in cas- tern and western papers.

remarks, Attorney Moore reached for
his hat and left the court room.
When court convened at Q O'clock

Ruick spoke for an hour and a half,
during which he paid his compliments
to Mr.. and Mrs. Wright, of Lewiston,

alleged they had committed perjury in
the taking up of their two claims. He
said their perjury was the most de-
liserate. uncailed for and causeless of
any that he had ever come In contact
with in his life. Mr.. Ruick said that
1t showed that they were tools Of Mr..
Kettenbach; that they could have TAX
en- up their claims just as easily by
telling the truth.
When Mr.. Moore had concluded his
arguments Attorney G. w. Tannahill,
of Lewiston, arose to continue the
arguments for the defense.
