Job Going win Probably Be Elected
 President.
 Birmingham, Nov. 13-9Special.1-- The new Board Of Revenue will take charge of the affairs of Jefferson coun- ty Monday.
 It Is generally agreed by members of the old board that their term of office expires ten days after their successors have been officially declared elected. While no official statement has been maed to the effect that the old board Is ready to retire. ths old members say they are perfectly willing to abide by the authorities.
 with a view of being further en- board consulted Judge Samuel D. Greene, of the Probate Court today. Judge Greene informed the old board that he was of the opinion that they would have to step out Monday.
 1t is generally understood that when the new board meets Job Going, the only member of the old board who will renaain with the new board. will be alected president. He received the largest individual vote in the primary.
 The oBard of Revenue not only has charge of tho county affairs but has several good places that are appointiye. One of these is the place of oil in- spector, position that many are af" fer. The new members are non-com- initial as to waht they propose to do.
 Then there Is the Hillman Hospital. the almshouse and other county fnstfs yutions where heads are appointed. The board also employs three clerks, two in the office of the Board of Revenue and one to assist in the auditing of claims before they are allowed.

 s.4 Morgan.
 Decatur, Nov Especial l-The case of quo warranto instituted bu the State against Circuit Clerk James F: Fowler has just been decided in favor of MT. Fowler in the Circuit Court here before Judge Ray of Jasper, who acted as special judge in the case.
 The attorneys representing the case of the State say that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court.
 The case was decided on demurrer. MT. Fowler held that he had withdrawn his resignation as clerk of the Circuit Court after rendering it to Judge D. w. Speake. judge of this judicial circuit, and that Judge Speake, therefore, had no right to appoint MT: Fowler's suc- cessor in office. The State demurred to this plea. and the court overruled the demurrer.
 The State agreed that the general charge be given the defendant for the purpos of going to the Supreme Court on the pleadings in the case.
 The contention of the State is that FowIer's resignation was absolute and unconditional, and that it was beyond his power to withdraw 1t aftetr 1t had been accepted by Judge Speake
 Mr FoWler's contention is that his resignation as clerk was a conditional contingent or prospective resignation, and that he had the right to withdraw it.
