Ginners May Report Statistics
 # Governor 0. Ks Expenses

Attorney General Alexander M Gar Der Tuesday replied to W. 1T. Sey- mour, Director of the Alabama Bureau of Cotton Statistics. on a request of Mir. Seymour to the Attorney General for an opinion in the matter of the act of the Legislature relative to the funds of the Department.
 The letter from the Attorney General to Mir. Seymour follows:
 Hon. W. H. Seymour, Director Ala
 bama Bureau of Cotton Statistics.
 Montgomery, Ala:
 Dear Sir--I have your communica- tion of the 9th instant requesting me to construe the act providing for the establishment of the Bureau of which you are Director, which act was ap- proved August i3. 1907. as the same re- lates to postage and with special ref erences to the authority of your office in supplying ginners with postage with which to make reports.
 This act now appears in the code of 1907. as section 1i3 to 130. Section 119 provides that "The Director may. with the consent and approval of the Governor incur all necessary expenses. including books, postage. stationery. office supplies. and clerical assistance. as may be necessary to deffay the ex- penses of such bureau
 Tt is my Judgment that this section is authority for the payment of the expenses for postage which may be supplied to ginners win which to

make their reports, provided that such expense is Incurred with the consent and approval of the Governor.
 T beg to remain.
 Yours very truly.
 .Alex M. Garber.
 Attorney General"
 There are something like s,0oo gins within the limits of the State, and the postage required of each would be in all probability something like le cents e year for the sending of the reports as requested by the director of the De- partment. At this rate $500 would be required by the Department for stamps alone.
 On the request of the director of tn Department the ginners replied that they would be only too glad to furnish the reports desired, but that the de- partment would have to send the stamps by which the matter could be mailed to Montgomery.
 It was upon this proposition that Mir. Seymour requested the Attorney Gen. eral to make ruling upon the statute auth orizing and establishing the Bu- reau. As will be seen from the opin- Ion of the Attorney General all such expense of che Department must be approved by the Governor. Governor Conner is out of the city at the present time and his approval or disapproval of the expenditure sought by MT. Sey- mour therefore could not be ascertain ed. si

Special ChanceIIOr r. Scott sayre Dis- solved Decree Preventing CoI- lection of Judgment Since

Finally, referred to the City Court in Equity for settle ment, Roy was enjoined from the col- lection of his judgment by the Chan cellor's report. A later decree by Spe- eial Chancellor Sayre set aside this report and authorizes the collection of the judgment.

A formal order of the Alabama Rail- road Commission was Tuesday made In the case Of the Southern Express Company upon a petition presented to that body some time ago. in the matter of certain competitive rates from Pen- sacola on fish and oysters.
 The rates as fixed from Mobile by the Commission were lower than those of the company from Pensacola. thus excluding Pensacola from Alabama territory. The Pensacola merchants made a kick to the Interstate Com- merce Commission about the matter, and the Express Company petitioned the Railroad Commission that they be allowed to put their lower rates from Mobile up to the same figures as those made from Pensacola. This the Com mission denied in formal order issued Tuesday.
 The question involved was an awk- ward one. The decision Tuesday may prejudice the colnpany's case with the national body as the difference in rates may operate In the minds of the Inter- state Commissioners as interfering with freedom of interstate commerce.
