Better Pursue the, Law

Editor of the Tribune:
l understand from you that the
Board of Aldermen of the City Of
Montgomery have been advised
by some of the ungallant lawyers
to disregard the election of Mrs.
Barney to the office of Collecto
on Tuesday on the grounds of in
Eligibility aud order a new election
at once or issue p certificate OF
election to her competitor. Neith-
er of which courses can the Board
legally do, Ii Mrs. Barney is in
eligible to hold the office to which
she has been elected, the
law points out the course how
that matter may be determined.
Section 1896, Revised Statutes,
1899 relating to cities of the 4th
class (of which this is one) makes
the provision of article 1 Of Chap
ter 1872 r~elatingfo general elections
applicable to elections in cities
of that class. See 1905, provide
how and when the Poll book shall
be returned to the County Clerk
and the following section, 6007
and 600S, how the County Clerk
shall call to his assistance two
Justices OF the peace, or the
County Court to cast up vote and
declare the results on each candi-
date or proposition voted for and
issue certificate OF election to the
candidates having the highest
number of vote Chapter sof
Book of ordinances of the City OF
Montgomery provides that the re-
turns of the city elections shall be
made to the Board OF Aldermen
and that they shall count vote
and declare the result and
issue certificates of election to the
candidate hsving the highest
number of woes just as in the ease
of the election of county officers.
Now it has been decided time
and time again that County Clerks
orreturning boards act minister.
tally and not judicially in the per.
Torrance of this duty aforesa iC
and the duty of issueing the Ger
tifcate of election to the person
receiving the highest number o
votes regardless of eligibility o
ineligibility of the candidat
elected but leave that to be deter
mined in a judicial proceeding
which is pointed out by statutes
The experience of one of tn
attorneys in enormously advis
ing the County Court on tn
County Seat Contest on a simila
question ought to have detere
him from repeating it now. Bet
ter pursue the law.

The city tooay appears unusually quiet following the two full days that the streets were alive with press people from all parts of the state. Here and there you will run across groups of men discussing with much satisfaction the almost unl- yersaI indorsement of the Ragsdale amendment by the newspaper men present at the convention, and thelr outspoken sentiments favoring Besse- mer's movement for a new count. with the brains of the state press DC hind us, we cannot lose;" All that re- mains for us to do is to keep working with renewed energy, each man doing his full duty, and you may rest assured that these men of the press who h@ge offered us heir support will render us invaluable aid in polling hand some vote for the amendment in the November election;" Why those news paper fellows know more about my own town than do and I have been living right here for IS years and when this subject of a new county was brought up they could advance more reasons why Bessemer should have it than l could ever have thought of. l wish l co,,ld bave an onnortunitV of enter, taining some of them at my house every year, then in eight or 10 years l would know something,' are various expressions that were heard on the streets today.
 It Is also pleasing to the people of Bessemer to h ear that this convention of the association is said by the mem- bers to be one of the most successful, from a business standpoint, that has been held for years.

ANNISTON ENJOYS
 GREAT ACTIVITY
EVERY MANUFACTURING PLANT
 IN THE CITY IS EITHER IN OP- ERATIoN OR IS BEING PUT IN
 SHAPE FOR IMMEDIATE WORK.

Anniston, July 24-(Special.) )-The reac- tion from a short period of industrial de- pression has brought the brightest pros pect within the history of the city of An niston, as every industry in the city has either resumed or is about to resume after extensive repairs.
 The woodstock Iron and Steel corpo- ration is employing about 500 men in refining their larger furnace, which will be ready for the resumption of activi- ties within a few days, and as soon as one of the largest and most modern in the south. This company is headed by J. M. Barr, former president of the Sea board, who was noted throughout the country for his zeal in improving the property of that road.
 The Union Pipe and Foundry company has just doubled it's capital stock and the capacity of the concern to be doubled accordingly This plant has not been idle a day since 1t was established, about two years ago.
 The Anniston Foundry and Machine works has resumed operations, and the management is making arrangements to enlarge it's capacity. The Central Pipe and Foundry company is running on full time as is the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company, both indus tries employing more men than at any previous time in the history of the city
 The Kilby Locomotive and Machine works resumed work last Monday, and it is said that the Western Steel Car and Foundry company the largest industry in the city, which is operated by the Pressed Steel people, will resume as soon as a satisfactory scale can be arranged with the Amalgamated Iron and Tin Workers This plant employs over 2OOO industrial conditions in the Model City,
 It is very probable that the Southern Railway company will cooperate with Mayor Thomas E. Kilby. and spend sev- eral hundreds of dollars in improving the Model City. The company has consented to the removal of the old Georgia Pa ciic depot, which obstructs Glenn Addie avenue, cutting it off at Ninth street. and Engineer New, who was here re- gently, made survey preparatory to the drainage of a large marsh on the com pany's property in the same district. It is proposed to cut a channel to Snow creek to effect this improvement.

PEACH SHIPMENTS
 HAVE BEEN LARGE
CaNTALoUPES ARE NOW ON THE MARKET AND BUSINESS PROM IsEs TO BE GooD-STRONG AD- VANCE IN PRICE OF CEDAR.

Hartselle, July 24.-(Special.)-The last of the Elberta peaches were shipped from here today. The crop this season was especially fine and much of it was canned and will be sold later. Several carloads of the fruit were shipped from here this season. which was by far better than the last season.
 There are several more thousand trees that will bear next year and the ship ments will be greatly augmented. The owners of the orchards are greatly pleased at the outcome this season, and but for the fact that it was impossible to get help at the right time much of the fruit went to waste
 Now that the peach crop has been shipped the canteloupe season is on, and today some shipments were made There will be an association formed here in time to handle the shipments next sea- son and large acreage of cantaloupes will be put in. The cantaloupe associa- tion proposes to furnish a man to the local planters to show them the latest methods of cultivation and planting.
 The cedar business is growing to great proportions. Since the farmers have laid by their crops great quantities are be- ing brought here for shipment The price has advanced $150 on the ton within the last month. A great many cedar rails are being sold also, there being stock law in this county, the farmers are dis posing of their surplus rails for pencil timber The lumber business is also in- creasing, two carloads being shipped from here daily.
 The Hartsell Real Estate Co., was or ganized here this week with the follow ing well known gentlemen composing the firm: Dr. D. W. Day, Dr. w. M. Booth, G. H. Ragsdale and J. J. Cudd. The company proposes to deal in town and farm property. and has some valuable holdings here.

Murder at Johns.

Arthur Hurst, a negro miner said 70 be financial secretary of the local union of United Mine Workers, was called to his door at his home in Johns last night and shot down, dying witt in sh ort time.
 No clue has yet been found traceable to the murderer although Coroner Paris and a jury have been holding an inquest this afternoon which will be continued tomorrow. It is said that Hurst was preparing to retire for the night when some one called him from without. He told them to wait until he could put on his pants, but the party on the outside replied that he was in n hurry, and for him to come to the door like he was. Hurst is said to have then stepped out into the hall, when a shot was fired through a glass pane! of the front door,
 The killing caused much excitement on account of the manner in which it was committed. but no demonstr;.- tions of violence were shown, however. on the part of anyone, as it was impos- sible to even imagine the perpetra.or of the deed.

Bicycle Riders. Beware.

Several complaints have been made to Mayor Rush about the bicycle riders on the sidewalks The attention of the po- lice has been called to the ordinance against such practice, and they have been instructed to enforce 1t to the letter, even where person rides for only few yards on the sidewalk. The police say that some of the riders have been in the habit of riding down town to their places or business, and instead of riding up to the curbing, they will leave the street and ride up to the door In doing this they set a bad precedent for the small boy and 1t must be stopped, or there will be some arrests made Only yesterday ne- gro was riding on the sidewalk, and in turning a corner came very near run ming into an elderly lady.

they invited many of their Bessemer friends. and a most delightful day was spent in roaming about in the cool of the woods and swimming in the lake. The viands had the delicious flavor that few cooks know how to attain when sea soning for barbecung. Several of the ladies present so far outcassed the men as swimmers that they were put to shame and contented themselves with remain ing on the banks most of the day.
