elpitation measures 271 inches. An
other half-inch and the deficiency OF
tie wet season beginning with Sep
TENDER l. as compared with the aver
age showing of former years, will be
wiped out.
1t was great storm and the
1aost severe, as far as rainfall is con.
cerned, since January and 3, 1907
During the "a hours OF that period
the precipitation reached three
inches. The most drenching shower
Of last night was between 2:30 and
$3.50 o'clock. During that hour .3S
"a 0h 'hSu VI rain lcll. I1du tudr

Portlanders would have been wading
about the streets this morning in
about 10 inches Of water had none

Court Was Without Solicitor.

This week promises to be d good one with the Bessemer city court although Judge Jackson was compelled to close down court this morning simply be- cause he had no solicitor He am nounced that court would be in ses sion tomorrow morning. He then went to Birmingham to take the matter up with Solicitor Heflin, who, by the way, has the appointive power here. It ap- pears that nothing definite was decided upon, although Ben c. Perry was ap pointed to act as solicitor this week. MT. Perry has filled the position sev- eral times during the absence of Colonel Godfrey, and he has always held up his end of the job to the complete sat- isfaction of the court and every one else concerned.
 For some months Colonel Godfrey has been in extremely poor health, and for that reason he has not been in posi- ton to give the office the required amount of attention
 Of course 1t Is not known at the pres ent time whether Colonel Godfrey ex- poets to return to the city and take up the duties of the office again or not, but it Is a fact that he is out of the city and no one seems to know just when he is going to return.
 The court was put out of business today, and every day in the Bessemer city court counts. This week IS what is known as criminal jury week and there are several important cases To be heard, in fact there are about 16 cases cheduled to come up.

 News of Interest In
 Bessemer.
BEFORE GRAND JURY

Bessemer January 20.-(Special)- The city council will meet tomorrow evening. and it is thought that the meeting will be by far the most inn portant that the present counci. has ever held. The much discussed At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic fran ehise question will come up for d hear ing and it is not known just at pres ent what action the council will take In regard to it. although, it Is though t that they will consent to resclnd the action at the last meeting, in which they refused to grant the franchise. Of course this is merely conjecture on the part of good many, but it is un- derstood that several of the aldermen have expressed themselves as being in favor of letting the road have tho fran chise, if the general public of Besse- mer desire it.
 It this connection a mass meeting was held at the city hall last week and there were a good many of the repre- sentative citizens of Bessemer present. It was the undivided opinion of the en- tire crowd that the road should be given the franchise, and 1t is also understood that Mayor Rush is in favor of giving the franchise along Second avenue. if no other satisfactory route can be decided upon. Tn ere will also be a number of other matters of importance to come before the board, and it Is supposed that the usual num- Der of kicks, ranging from the loss of a dog to the loss of a limb. There are some people always on the ground with a complaint, and it Is thought that they make tn em in most instances, not with the idea that they will receive anything for their trouble, but simply in order to keep in line.

"BLUE LAWS'' FOR SUNDAY PAST|MES No More Golf Allowed At the
 Country Club NO MORE MATCHING COINS Two Members of the Club Must Face the Grand Jury Because They Matched To See Who Paid
 For Dinner.
NO MORE MATCHING COINS

''It is as much a violation of the law to play golf on Sunday as 1t is to play base ball.
 "To throw craps for dinners, is gam bling just as it is gambling to throw craps for money
 It Is gambling to match coins for the payment of street car fares.
 .The laws of the state of Alabama will be enforced in Jefferson county
 The above was a statement of Sheriff E. L. Higdon made to representative of The Age Herald.
 The request for the statement was made on account of the recent proclamation that Sunday golfing would no longer be tolerated at the Country club; on ac- count of the fact that two prominent members of the Country club will be re- ported to the grand jury for matching coins for dinners, and on account of the general impression that pervaded the city yesterday that there would be a resurrec- tion of the old "blue laws"
 But from what could be gathered from Jefferson county's sheriff, no scold will be tucked beneath the chilly waters to quiet her tongue, and teach lession, no gossp-monger will be hooted through the streets, no member of the sheriff 8 force will overhear remarks at card par ties, and the street cars will be allowed to continue operations, it matters not how much their unearthly grinding might of fend
 We will endeavor to enforce the laws of the state" stated the sheriff. "Of course, there was no foundation to the rumor that street cars will be discontin- ued on the Sabbath. We have nothing to do with the operation of street cars But if gambling is gambling, every form of gambling is gambling. If it is unlaw- full to play baseball on Sunday it is unlawful to play golf"
 President W. w Crawford of the Coun- try club. to whom Sheriff Higdon gave the information that there must not be more Sunday golfing at the club. has posted a bulletin to that effect. Here after, therefore. any member who plays golf or link pin, or ping pong on the day the Lord made holy, will do so after warning, and at his own risk.
