CLERK MAY ASK TO
 HAVE ( ERIK ENJCINED
Queer Situation Has Developed I'm Mor- gan County Over Clerks Resignation.

Decatur. Oct. 21-(SpeciaI)-Y day Judge D. w. Speak, of the Circuit Court appointed Frank J. Davis clerk or the circuit court vice James F. Fowler. who tendered his resignation to Judge Speak some weeks ago Mir. Davis made the bond. but later refus- ed to qualify. Mir. Davis is and has been for some time clerk of the pro- bate court.
 The case seems to be somewhat of a complicated one. Mr. Fowler rendered his resignation to Judge speake, but he now claims that he later withdrew the resignation. It is said. however, that Judge Speake had Accepted the resignation that MT. Fowler therefore had no authority Co withdraw 1t. It is said that Judge, SpeRlxe will likely make another appointment. It is in- timated that Mir. Fowler will likely en- join whoever Judge Speake may ap- point as clerk. on the grounds that he had withdrawn his resignation after rendering 1t to Judge Speake. The case is attracting considerable atten- ton.

BANKHEAD SPOKE
 FOR GOOD ROADS
Senior Alabama Senator Delivered 6
 Splendid Address in AnnlstOn.

Anniston, Oct, 21-(speciaD-Hon. John H. Bankhead. of Fayette, United States Senator from Alabama addressed a large audience at the court house yesterday evening.
 MT Bankhead came for the purpose of ommending the Overton good roads amendment to the constitution of the state to the voters of Calhoun county. He says he is sure the amendment will pass. He is thoroughly conversant with his subject, having given 1t years of careful study. and the proposed movement was explained in detail
 He stated that 1t was the highest ambition of himself and others in the national congress to secure appropria- tions from the government for the im- provement of the public highways. They are confident of success and he desires that Alabama pass the amend ment in order to be able to secure it's share when such appropriation Is secured. The object of the amendment Is to place the state of Alabama in position to improve It's highways and to take advantage of any opportunity to secure aid for that purpose. Under the present constitution the state can not make any internal improvements and this barrier must be removed be- fore the state can take it's place Tn the front ranks.

 Roof Falls In.

union Springs. Oct. 21-(Specia1)-- The residence Of Mayor L. M. Moseley together with all it's contents, was destroyed by fire and the family had a narrow escape from death at an early hour this morning
 The fire occurred about I:30 o'clock and was first discovered by Mrs. Nose ley, who was awakened by the bright light and the cracking of the tImbers overhead. She hurriedly awakened her two children from their beds rushed out just in time to escape the falling in of the roof. They had not time to dress or save their clothing
 The fire had made such headway be- fore the alarm was turned In that the fire department found 1t impossible to extinguish the blaze before the build ing had collapsed aud was entirely consumed. By heroic efforts and with the aid of citizens the fire was kept from spreading to adjoining buildings which were close by on each side
 This is the first time in several years that the efficient fire department has failed to reach a fire of any conse- quence in time to save the building and 1t has had many calls to duty Tn this instance the fire was discovered too late for q successful fight
 The origin of the fire is mystery. 1t seems to have started in the front part of the house where there had been no fire for sometime The loss is only partially covered by insurance.

AN ODD DAMAGE SUIT.
Frightened Boy Jumped From Safet,
 FO His Death.

To His Death.
 Huntsville, Oct. Especial. )-An interesting damage suit in which Mrs Mary Pitts, of Decatur, is seeking for the recovery of s25,000 for the killing of her son, by a string of freight cars on the Louisville and Nashville Railway is on trial in the United States Court. Young Pitts was killed after he had jumped from an electric car in. Decatur. The evidence shows that the young man saw the string of freight cars bearing down on the elec- tric car and thought that the electric car would be smashed. The defense shows that if he had remained on the electric car he would not have been hurt. The question of the railroads liability for damages is involved.
 The lack of interest that Is being shown here in the present national campaign has caused several leading Democrats to agitate the question of holding a rally and public demonstra- tion few days before the November election.
 At the regular meeting of the city council last night. a movement was started for the purchase by the city of the Calhoun block, an old estate on the block adjoining the postofice.

CONTROL DRUGGISTS
s. A. WILLIAMS IS HERE TO EN-
 FORGE THE LAWS.
President of state Pharmaceutical As- sOciatIon Confers With State Board of Pharmacy-COcaine
 and Morphine.

For the purpose of conferring with the State Board of Pharmacy relative to the new laws of Alabama governing the profession, President s. A. Will Hams. of. the State Pharmaceutical As sociation. ,came to Montgomery from Troy Wednesday. He Is interesting himself closely in the enforcement or the laws that have been put on the statute books.
 Of special importance MT. Williams considers those. sections of the code which relate to the conduct of drug stores in towns of 300 inhabitants and more. This prohibits on severe pen atty any. person conducting a drug store in towns of such population un- less he Is a registered pharmacist within the meaning of the Alabama law. Also there is a like prohibition against druggists employing for the compounding of prescriptions any per. son who is not registered phar- macist.
 1t is the Intention of Mir. Williams to see that this statute so far as he can is not violated in a single instance in this State.
 Of no less importance does the pharmacists' leader consider the sec ton of the code regulating the sale of cocaine and morphine. He will em- phasize this measure in his confer ence with the State board. The law prohibits the sale of morphine or the giving of 1t away except upon the pre~ scription of a duly licensed physician. surgeon or dentist. and then only In quantities not exceeding five grains unless prescribed with other drugs"
 This refers also to cocaine. And there is a further provision that the prescriptions in which cocaine is al- lowed to be sold shall not be refilled by any druggist unless by order of the doctor originally making 1t.
 It is the purpose of Mir. Williams. he says. to SO purge the drug business of Alabama as to give no chance for concern on the part of anyone as to the manner of filling prescriptions.
