SPECIAL TERM
 FOR PULLMAN Whiskey Trouble to Be . Adjusted, ALL STATE IS INTERESTED Judge Speake Will Hold Term on
 February 3. Saloons are stiiI Open in Cuiiman, But Dealers Have Been Arrested,
 and win Bs

Governor Conner has received final word from Judge D. W. Speak, of the Eighth Judicial Circuit. that he will hold a special term of Cullman County Court on February 3 for the purpose of trying the cases made against nine liquor dealers of Cullman on a charge of violating the local option law there.
 This is the first clash over prohibi- ton in the State. and word comes from Cullman that the dealers will attack the constitutionality of the act provid- ing for local option elections and the enforcement of prohibition under this act.
 The case is. perhaps, without prece- dent in the history of all reforms. The nine liquor dealers who have been arr rested on charge of violating the laws of the State of Alabama hold H. censes from the Probate Judge of Gull man County to sell whiskey. They also have licenses issued by the Pro- bate Judge in the name of the State. :. The State authorities. however, disre- gard these licenses and will proceed against the dealers as if they were running blind tigers.
 The fact that the question of Ala bama being wet or dry for this entire year depends on the final outcome of this case makes 1t of more than usual interest. especially in those counties that are now dry under the local op- ton law.
 It Is understood that wholesale liquor houses in Alabama and in other States will come to the assistance of the Gull man liquor dealers, nine of them, and fight the case through all of the courts having jurisdiction in such matters.
 The fact that a number of the most prominent attorneys of the State have given 1t as their opinion that the local | option law of Alabama is unconstitu- tional leads many to believe that the Cullman County dealers will win out in this fight. If they do many counties that have been dry under the local op- | tion law for several years will spring forth as wet" counties.
 The case arises out of a mandamus
 issued against Judge Robert Burke. | After, hearing the mandamus, Judge Burke deeided that the local option | law is unconstitutional. and issued the
 licenses to the applying liquor deal
 CTS.
 The dealers promptly opened theil | places on January 1, to the horror oi
 those who had fought so hard for loca | option in Cullman County. Complaint | was at once made to the solicitor ant the nine liquor dealers were arrested | Judge Speake was communicated with l and he, in turn, communicated witi the Governor with the result that Gov ernor Conner authorized him to proceed | to Cullman at as early date as pos
 sible and hold a special term of cour to settle the matter. In the meantim' the saloons at Cullman are wide open braving the law and firm in the be
 lief that they will win their case.

LOCAL OPTION AS VALID LAW Arguments Before Judge Richardson Today. TWO COUNTIES TO FIGHT Hearing is on Petitions for a Rule
 Nisi. Crenshaw and Lowndes Counties Want to Test Law, as We'll as sa-
 loon Men in Cullman
 County.

If the counsel for the parties made defendants to the suit are ready at noon today Judge J. c. Richardson, or the Second Judicial Circuit. Will near the petitions for rules nisi, or whicn the prayers are purposed to 1ake ins effective the local option law as ap- piled to the dispensary of Crenshaw County at Luverne, the dispensary or Lowndes County at Fort Deposit and the saloons in Haynevilie and Leto- hatchie.
 The defect alleged in the local option law Is it's unconstitutionality, and It's annulment as to the present cases would mean that the dispensaries and the saloons might be kept open until the statutory prohibition of the sale of lfuuors in the State is effective on Jan uary 1, 1909.
 There are two cases to be set before Judge Richardson and 1t Is believed they will stand foremost among the litigations that are being employed to render the laws prohibitory in part or in whole of the sale of liquors. For those who challenge the validity of the local option law, which was enacted by the Legislature, Chiffon and MacKen. zie, prominent attorneys of Montgom- cry and John V. Smith of Birmingham, have been employed. On the other side is S. D. Weakley of Birmingham, form
 
 of Alabama, a legal adviser to the ad- ministration, and recognized as one of the ablest attorneys before the bar of the State. Whether MT. Weakley' has been employed by persons locally in- terested in the cases or as the counsel for the Anti-Saloon League is not known in Montgomery. but 1t Is sup- posed that he Is acting as attorney of the Anti-Saloon League.
 The case from Luverne will proba- biy be heard today. It could not be learned yesterday if Mir. Weakley would come to Montgomery but he is expect ed and 1t is presumed that Judge Rich nrdson. by common consent, will hear the cases in the court house of Mont- gomery County.
 The suits from Lowndes County are to be presented on petitions for man. damus in which the petitioners pray for a rule nisi against the Probate Judge, end they intend to bring the causes to |. nal issue at the earliest possible day. In the cases where saloons. operated by private persons are involved. as well as for dispensaries. tenders of license moneys to the Judge of Probate have been made and rejected. and 1t Is as- stunned that notice will be waived and the causes be brought on to trial as soon as Is expedient
 The defects alleged to be in the local option law are it's general effectiveness and a commingling of altogether local provigiDns and stipulations. Providing for the State as 6 whole in regard tc the elections to be held in the counties as units, it yet specifics that in certain counties where prohibition already ex

 Sarah Loving, administratrix for the estate of Tom Loving, yesterday filed suit in the City Court to recover $15,- 900 damages from the Louisville and Nashville Railroad because Tom Low ing was killed while in the employ of that road.
 In the wreck of through train No. of the Louisville and Nashville. which occurred December s. In the yards just this side of the bridge, Tom Loving, the negro fireman, was caught be- meath the engine and killed. The train was pulling into Montgomery at about twenty five miles an hour when a acocked switch" was struck. the engine turned over and Loving was so badly injured that he died soon after.
 Tn her petition. Sarah Loving ayers that 1t was through the negligence of the agents or employees of the road that the switch was left standing as it was when he train hit 1t. therefore. she holds the road liable to $15.000 for the death of the fireman.

Governor Conner stated that the fact that the Probate Judge issued license to these men does not mean that they are operating under the protection or the State. The licenses mean no more he said, than if they were Issued by private citizen.
 Especial interest is being evidenced in the outcome of this case in Birm- ingham. All of the saloons there clos ed without making q test case of the matter, and all of the handsome bar fixtures, etc.. have been shipped away. In the event 1t is decided that the local option law Is unconstitutional there will be a rush to secure locations for the re-establishmen of saloons in Bir- mingham.

STRING LIKE WEATHER
No Indication That There WsI1 Be .
 ChRnHe Today.

It Is entirely probable that the wea- ther today will be much the same as that of yesterday, although late this afternoon there may be tendency to- wards cloudiness and during the day it will perhaps be slightly warmer AL though no forecast is given out for Saturday at this time. it is expected that there will be showers on that day.
 This slight change is caused by the high barometric pressure that has been over this section of the country for the past thirty-stx hours, passing on to the eastward and the approach of a aIow" from the northwest Tho ap- proach of the low pressure brings ths rise in the thermometer and is condu- cive to cloudy and warmer weather.
