CAREER MAKES RULINGS.
State Veterinarian Can Enforce Ger
 tificates for Stock.

Montgomery, October 19.-(Special) Attorney General A. M. Garber has ruled that under the law the state veterinarian can enforce the having of health certificates for cattle from out side states, even though they be ad- mitted into non-stock law counties. It is said, however, that he can do no work in counties that have no stock laws.
 The attorney general has also ruled that a taller may work a prisoner at odd jobs about the jail and yet get pay for feeding him; also. that the county education boards can and must distrib' ute school funds so as to provide for terms of the same length all over the county, even if some do get more per capita than others.

 It is also the general impression
 that the main effort of the solons will
 be to get the cases out of the United
 States court and bring them entirely
 within the power of the state courts to handle them. This may be tried in half a dozen channels. Governor Conner was asked this week if this was
 not the idea of some parts of the call for an extra session, but he would not say There are, of course" he said,
 many things I cannot talk about just now"
 Several conferences have been held this week. Judge s. D. Weakley of the state counsel, was here much of the time and talked long and frequently with the governor. What have you decided on?" asked a reporter of the judge. He just laughed. You know the talking place of lawyer is the court room not on the outside was the replie. T guess you newspaper men have a lot of curiosity to know what is going on." ventured the judge, who was told that he had guessed we'll. It was also suggested to him that a tip on the side would not be unap- preciated, but the hint was lost on the affable former chief justice.

NEW WAREHOUSE SHEDS

Decatur October 19.-(Special. 1.-The
 Decatur Navigation company, with cap
 tal stock of S1Oo0o. has been organized
 here for the purpose of operating steam 1 boats and barges along the Tennessee
 river.
 The incorporators of the company are the Bixby Lumber company, the Hunts vile Lumber company and LamplSin 6
 Thomson. For. some time past Lamp
 kin & Thomson have been operating
 steam ferry here across the Tennessee
 river. The Huntsville Lumber company
 owns a large sawmill in Decatur and the Bxby Lumber company is one of the largest lumber companies in this section
 of the country. All of these companies | are largely interested in the navigation of the Tennessee river for many miles above and below the Decaturs, as they
 handle great quantities of logs and lum- Der on the river.
 One of the largest warehouse sheds in Alabama will be built here by the Gulf
 Compress company and will be used for storing cotton. The ground on which the shed is to be built has been leased from the Decatur Cotton Compress company and is 600X200 feet in size. It will require something like 1000, GOO or more feet of lumber for the construc- tion. The contract for the construction has already been let to Abshre Sz Tran sue of this city.
 Last season the compress company had
 on hand here at one time 20.0O0 bales of
 cotton, and they were unable to find sheds in the Decaturs sufficiently large in
 which to store this great quantity of cot ton.
 The Rev. M. W. Gordon, formerly of Brewton, but now pastor of the First Baptist church. Decatur, will deliver a lecture to men only on tomorrow after
 noon at o'clock at the Railroad Young
 Mems Christian association hall in New Decatur.
 The meeting on tomorrow afternoon will
 be in the nature of a welcome to Mir. Cor
 don to the Decaturs and a large congre-
 gation of men are expected to attend.
