HIS FRIENDS
 WILL DECIDE MT. Mallory Talks of Gubernatorial Matters STILL PLENTY OF TIME He Makes Clear Statement of
 Position. Is Grateful for the Many and Continu- ed Compliments which Come From All Sections of AIsbamn--Has
 Has Never Sought 8 State

In a statement given out yesterday in response to a request from the newspaper men Hon. H. IS. D. Mallory, of Selma said that when the proper time came he would be guided by his friends as to wheth@ he would or would not make the race for Gov ernor of Alabama. The statement is taken to mean that if the friends of Mir. Mallory believe a year or eighteen months from now that the sentiment throughout the Statc for his nomina- tion still exists he will make the race.
 He says in his statement:
 T presume there is no hurry. as the time for the race Is some distance on. have confidence in my friends. When in their judgment the time comes for decision shall in large measure be guided by their wishes"
 Mir. Mallory's name in recent months has beeh repeatedly mentioned in con- nection with ofice of Governor. The weekly press of the State have been busy with 1t and without conferring with him or any of his friends a num- Der of the Alabama papers have de- clared that he is the man to make the race for Governor next time. Mir. Nal lory has not attached much importance to press and public discussion of his name in connection with gubernatorial honors. He has looked upon 1t as complimentary talk which might or might not mean anything. But the talk and the newspaper publications continued until his friends were con- vinced that there was strong senti- ment in his favor.
 Inasmuch as there has been so much of this talk the newspaper men In Montgomery yesterday held Mir. Mall lory up for a statement After he had finished with the work of the State Executive Committee of which he is Chairman, Mir. Mallory gave the fol- lowing statement:
 'T am more than grateful for the kind things said of me in connection with the office of Governor. No one coud be ingensibIe to such compli- ment.
 T am deeply sensible of the great honor of that high ofnce. and have neyer supposed there was any general desire on the part of the people that I should become a candidate for 1t. I have never sought q State office norfeltanyspeoial denuly -iosmhni bew nor felt any special desire to hold one. Of late have been asked by friends to stand for the next governors nonntna- tion.
 T presume there is no great hurry as the time for that race is some dis tance of.
 T have confidence in my friends. When in their judgment the time comes for a decision, I shall fin large measure be guided by their wishes, and abide their decision, whatever that may be. If become a candidate and be honored with the nomination I would esteem 1t an honor greatly beyond my de- serts"

 Code. Only The Counties of Mobile and Mont- somery Were Affected and Board
 Heard Case And win Net
 Provide With collection.

The State Board of Compromise met yesterday in the Capitol and relieved the retail liquor dealers of the increase In their State license brought about by the going into effect of the new Code. May l. Each retail dealer, if the state had persisted in this collection, would have paid an additional s1S7.5U Tor the current year.
 At the meeting of the Board yes terday there was 8 full attendance, the members being Governor Conner. Att torney General Alex M. Garber and State Auditor W. W. Brandon. The Board did not take up, as was rumored they would do. the matter of crediting the railroads with practically half the annual franchise tax this year by virtue ot the existence last year of the old tax section which provided for the maintenance of the Railroad Commis- sion of Alabama. It is more than prob able that this will be called to the at- tention of the Board fin the near future.
 The action of the Board in the liquor license application was in line with the known attitude of the Legislators who made up the qualification commit tee of the two Houses last year. These members. it Is understood, purposeIy effected raise in the State license for retailing liquor but there seemed to be no intention to impose any extra license until January 1. 1909. The section of the code affecting this did not make any provision for the postponement Of the increase and the State Tax Com mission had prompted the Probate Judges of Mobile and Montgomery counties to call on the dealers for the extra amount.
 The increase would have affected only the dealers in Mobile and Montgomery as it was confined to municipalities in which there were 25,oo0 or more popu- lation.
 As the section is suspended this year 1t may now be declared obsolete as general prohibition goes into effect January l, 1909. and there could be no operation of retail liquor license law. It should be remembered that the report of the qualification committee was adopted and enacted into law at the August session of the Legislature and therefore did not anticipate gen. eral prohibition which was the edict Of the extra session last November.
