duties of sheriff of Jefferson County and with Gods help. propose to con- tinue to try to Jo my duty"
 Those familiar with the situation from observation, and close calcula- ton have a theory that the grand jury has summoned many witnesses before 1t with view of returning true biii against the sheriff.
 It is said that Louis R. Dean, depu- ty sheriff who was indicted on various charges of bribery and. purged by the court when the cases were tried, has been before the inqulsitors during the present session. While his mission is known only to himself and the seven teen men who heard him, those who hold to the theory that the grand jury is after the sheriff. reach the con- clusion that Dean was questioned about the part the sheriff played in the SO called !" graft fund that was estab- lished more than a year ago for the purpose of catching gamblers in Birm- ingham who might seek to bribe the sheriff's office for the purpose of being allowed to operate gaining tables.
 During the trial of Dean Sheriff Higdon took the witness stand and made the frank statement that he in- structed his deputies to take any money that was offered them in the shape of bribe and report the mat ter to him so he could have the givers of the money indicted. Those who hold to the idea that Dean was ques- toned about the bribe cases are of tfe opinion that some members Of the grand jury may entertain an Idea or returning true bill against the sheriff in this connection.
 Tn addition to Dean there have been other witnesses before the grand jury who it is believed were summoned Tor the purpose of telling something about the sheriff.
 Tn the event the idea of the theor- ists is correct that an attempt will be made to indict the sheriff. it Is held that considerable comment may be made on the sheriff's administration in the report.

The Grand last night, when "The Devil" was the announcement. Brilliantly set and costumed. with capable actors. seeing the devil in dress clothes without his red tights and cocks feather was dis. ttnctly a dramatic event fin Montgom- cry theatrical circles.
 In most. one might say every por- 'trayal of the devil on the stage at the present one sees his machinations work out beautifully in three or four acts,
 only to have virtue triumph over evil

 acter by Campbell Gollan.
 Herr Molnar. the author of the
 piece, has provided new sort of temp tation, devil of the brain. a devil with all of the crafty false philosophy one imagines his Satanic Majesty of the underworld to possess. A wonder fully hard character to portray. To be Molnar's devil the actor must for the time being lose his own. personality. his entire identity. He must feel, think, conduct himself as if he were the devil. It is not a role that could in any phase be taken lightly, and yet the offering is billed as comedy. It was fashionable audience that gathered at the Grand to witness this new personality, and from the moment of the appearance of '-The Devil' upon the stage that audience was complete ly under the sway of his deviiish clev- erness. s es

There is custom prevalent here as in most other places, that 1 am very much opposed to-" said Q prominent business man yesterday. This Is all lowing the sale of eyeglasses by any one who. merely pays a license co sell cheap Jewclry. Every little street stand that sells jeweiry and trinkets hassa sign advertising the fitting and sale of eye glasses.
 ITO me 1t seems most peculiar that there are laws which force applicants, who wish to practice medicine and law to stand a rigid examination be- fore they can begin the practice of their profession and yet there Is no such law for those who intend to sell glasses to unsuspecting persons. Most persons would regret the loss of the eyesight more than any other intrmity, and yet not knowing better they will risk the loss of this greatest blessing by having glasses fitted by utterly in- competent persons.
 T think that anyone who wishes to sell glasses to the public and who adT vertises himself as one competent to do such should be compelled to pass a most rigid examination before board of examiners, which shall be provided. just as there is a State board for ex- amining doctors and lawyers.
