BANKS A CANDIDATE
ATTALl.A FTNANCIER FOR STATE
 TREASURER.
That is Gossip Going Rounds of, North ern End of ssafe---He Has Never Held Public
 Offce

It is stated that T. c. Banks. PreSl- dent of the Attalla bank, will be a candidate for the position of state Treasurer to succeed Hon Walter D. Seed Although the State primaries for the election of State Treasurer is not to be held until 1910. and the term of the present incumbent does not ex- plre until 1911, 1t ls announced with some degree of authority by the friends of Mir. Banks that he will be candi- date for the once. Mir Banks, how ever, has not committed himself.
 Iit case Mir. Banks determines to make the race snd SO announces his determination he will so before the people well known as banker in the Northern part of the State. He will go before the people as a man who has never held political of1ce. although an active worker In ehe affairs of State.
 The Gadsden Journal says of the ru- nor: .
 1T. c. Banks, President of the AttalIa bank, and one of the, foremost busi- ness men of that city, will be candi- date for State Treasurer, according Co Q rumor which is being freely circu- lated by his friends. Although the State election IS several months in ad. vance Mir. Banks is being prevailed upon by hls friends, both here and in other sections of the State, to announce himself as n candidate, and while he has not committed himself so far there appears to be but little doubt that he will consent to enter the race.
 Should Mir. Banks so before the people of the State as a candidate for State Treasurer, he will be one of the strongest men that can be offered. He is known through0gt the State as one of the staunchest and most trust worthy men of North Alabama and he has a. record which ls untarnished. AL though sn active worker in politics. he has never held political ofiice. For twenty years or more he has been a resident of Attalla, where he has been engaged in tho banking and mercantile business. Besides filling the office of President Of the Attatla bank, he is al- so at the head of the Banks Big Three stores and has been 8 singular success !n all his business ventures He is a man lmbued with high ideals, scrupu- lously honest and . thorough Christian gentleman.
 There are other, rumors afioat re- garding State politics. 1t is reported that Brook Smith will be a candidate for State Auditor, although no cITicial announcement has been made. There are several possibilities as Governor but there have been no announcements made for aspirants to the ofFice of chief executive of the State, excepting that of Fl. S. D. Mallory. County politics is Still dormant, although there Is some interest being manifested and possibilities picked out by local politi- clans. It will probably be aix mcnths or a year before there will be much of a stir in the local feld.''

MANY STREETS TO BE PAVED Last Chance for Protest
 Is Gone. MORNING COUNCIL MEETING Next Step Will Be Call for Bids on
 Work. Paving Ordinances sprung by Aider- men Six Weeks Ago UnanImoss- Iy Passed st Special ses-
 sion on Wednesday
 at oseIock. -

Citizens wishing to kick against the newly ordered paving and drainage for several of the city streets, lost their last chance to object by not appearing before the specially called and ar- nounced meeting of the City Council held Wednesday morning in the City Hall. The meeting was called for noon. but not until nearly o'clock were there enough Aldermen present to form a quorum.
 Acting as City Clerk, City Attorney Mcintyre read the ordinances for the paving and drainage, and they were, by unanimous consent Of the Aldermen, made law. The streets specifed are Wilson, Wilkerson. High, Park Place, Caroline. Pollard. North Hull. McDcn- ough. Gordon, Perry, Moulton. Gold thwaite and the following avenues: Highland. Pleasant. Cramer, Finley. Fielder and Burton.
 At the next meeting of the Council, steps will be taken to cali for bids, and as soon as the selections are made the work will be given out. Several letters referring to different assess ments of private property owners were read and were referred to the Street Committee.
 : Many of the ordinances for paving were sprung in q bunch by Alderman Lowe nearly six weeks ago, his exam pie being followed by a number of oth- CTS. From then on almost at every meeting Aldermen presented one or two ordinances for the paving of certain parts of different streets. As soon as the ordinan .es were submitted to the Mayor, in most cases, Kicks were reg istered by property holders who asked the veto of the chief executive. Where a majority made the request Mayor Teague would So act but in spite of this, many ordinances were passed
 The fashion for presenting paving ordinances in Council is not over yet. and even at the last meeting several were presented and referred to the Street Committed.
 The meeting to hear objections was the last opportunity the people affect cd had to protest the matter. and now the work of beautifying the city will be carried through

Fates With B. I. Collier
 After All
GOT BEST END OF $75O BET
But Losef Sued And Recovered
 Two Years Later
Then, Thinking It Ills Turn to Win Again, Mfr. Collier Sued fer Tres- pass when Levy Was Made,
 Scoring Victory.

Echoes of an election wager in which Thomas L. Johnson, now deceased, and B. T. Collier. living, took part in Etowah County, were contained in a decision of the Supreme Court yester- day on . question of law to which the latter and the administrator of the former are parties. The outcome of the whole litigation which has run through more than four years was a victory for the man who won the bet in the first instance.
 The case as 1t came to the Supreme Court was styled M. B. Johnson ct al vs B. T. Collier, appealed from the Cadsden City Court. A judgment for 32.l33.lT exemplary damages against
 MT, Johnson and ex-SheriR William Chandler. of Etowah County. was af- firmed. Justice Dowdell spoke for the Supreme Court in rather long opin- lon.
 on-a primary election. under the gem eral laws of the State held April II, 1904. A wager was made by Thomas L. Johnson and B. T. Collier. The amount was $750 and was won by Mir. Collier. Some time afterwards the ad- minlstrator of the deceased Johnson began suit to recover the amount of the wager lost together with interest. Judgment In favor of Mir. Johnson was awarded by the court. But 1t was when levy on the property of Mr. Col Her was made that the trouble started.
 April 9, 1908, the judgment for debt, as 1t was claimed. was awarded by the jury In the sum of sss5. including the wager and interest. Execution issued July IS. 1906.

 Mir. Collier, the winner in the wager and the loser in the suit. to recover, thought 1t was about his turn to- score again. He retaliated by suing the sh erin and Mfr. Johnson for trespass. He claimed $s.000 exemplary damages in that the property that was sold was exempt and this was known to the sheriff when he was levying on the same. Success was with him again, and when the case came to trial the exemption of the property was upheld by the lower court, the jury returning a verdict of $2.133.l7.
 It was this judgment for exemplary damages that the Supreme Court af- firmed. holding that the complaint on which the first judgment in favor of MT. Johnson was founded grew out of an indebtedness ex contractu. It was held that the sheriff did wrong and was trespasslIng ab initio when he ig- nored the rights of exemption. He should have needed the contest, of ex-
