of Efficient Handling.
 The officers of the city-especially of it's Sanitary Department-receive so many complaints and so few congrat- ulations upon its method of handling contagious diseases of such virulent type as smallpox that letters expressive of amicable sentiments are received with pleasure, stored and talked of with pride.
 The latest letter of congratulation came from P. D. Diffly, and while others like 1t had been given. the fact that Mir. Diffly came forward gratuit- ously and with such generous mead of applause makes his epistle worthy of especial note.
 Following is a copy of his letter:

 Dear Sir-After being about three weeks at the City Emergency hospital, suffering from smallpox. being dis charged from there about two days ago. I am pleased to testify to the ad- mirabie treatment and kind attention I received from Mir. Manning and the nurse. Millie, during my sojourn at what I now regard as an indispensable institution in any city. In my opinion Montgomery is to be congratulated on this institution. Yours truly,

LOCAL WEATHER GOOD,

Good weather for Nontgomery and its vicinage Is expected today; bad bus mess in parts of the West, was the prognostication of the Weather Bureau yesterday. It was all brought about by a storm center over Nebraska, where the Bryan comes from.
 For the twenty-four hours ending at o'clock yesterday, was the way the Bureau doped 1t out of the top right hand drawer rains in the western DOT tion of the cotton belt were heavy to excessive. They were due to a storm center over Nebraska. Over the rest of the cotton belt. fair and continued warm weather prevailed. the temper atures again ranging in the nineties at several points.
 From the arrangement of the high and low pressure areas in the weather map 1t is believed that the storm will move to the northeastward, and will not affect conditions locally except for partial cloudiness. General fair and continued and warm weather Is ex> pected to continue today.

OFFICE COST $135
JUDGE INFER FILED CAMPAIGN
 EXPENSES.
First of Primary Candidates To Do So. Candidates for Delegates to Den yer Must File Account of
 Expenses.

The hrst or the candidates m tne primary of May IS to file statement of his campaign expenses was Judge John W. Inzer. of Ashville. who was renominated for the judgeship of the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit without op- position. Judge Inzer's statement was filed with Secretary of State Julian yesterday.
 The expenses of Judge Inzer's cam paign was $135. of this amount $50 was used in announcing his candidacy through eight newspapers while the remainder, $75, was the amount of the entrance fee charged by the State Democratic Executive Committee.
 The expense statements of other candidates will be coming to the Sec retary of State frequently at intervals from now on. The law regulating primary elections fin this State re- quires that all candidates for any of flee shall file statements showing the detailed moneys spent by themselves in their canvass.
 The candidates for all offices except county offices are required to file sworn statements direct with the Sec retary of State. The candidates for the county offices and State Senate are required, by Section 6S23 of the new cade, to file their statements with the probate judges of their respective counties. This law, of course, has no application as the result of the pri- mary of May 1 8 to the State Senators but does not affect county offices which were at stake during the primary.
 The statements must be filed within thirty days after the primary or cleo tion or be subject to fine of not less than S100 nor more than $1 900.
 As the primary of May IS was the first in which candidates for delegates to the Democratic national convention or for electors ran for these offices. previous methods of choice being by convention 1t might be interesting to know that they, too, will have to sub init sworn statements of their can wasting expenses. This is the con- struction that Is being put on Section 6S23 of the new code. which is as by Secretary of State Frank N. Julian.
 Section 6S23 is reproduced here as follows:
 Any candidates for any oflce elect ed by the votes of more than one county except candidates for the of- flee of State Senate shall file with the Secretary of State, and every candi- date for a county office and candi- dates for the State Senate shall file with the judge of probate of the county in which said election Is held sworn statement setting out and itemizing the expense of his canvass in such election within thirty days after such election, and any candidate who fails to so file and swear to such statement within said time shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. and on conviction, must be fined not less than $10O nor more than sl l.000."
