OPPONENT GETS PLACE
Hot Political Fight Comes to an
End.
y. III. Fulton Has Held Once For More
Than Half the Term which III.
n. Morris wm Now
Complete.

BY q decision of the Supreme Court
rendered yesterday. J.. H. Fulton. sher-
in of Shelby county, Roses his ONCE
and there goes In his opposing candi-
datef H. M. Morris. The one was q
Democrat In the election OF 1905 and
the other q Populist. The action of the
court yesterday settled one Of the hot
test election disputes that dot the re-
cords OF Alabama.
The evidence showed that on official
canvass Mr.. Fulton had received a to-
tai OF 1s0S2 votes during the election
OF November, 1906, while his opponent,
Mr.. Morris, has received LOTS, a diff
ference OF only seven votes. The for
mer, 1t Is said. took charge of the
office and has held It since. But short
ly after the canvass Mr.. Norris insti-
suted a contest before the probate Judge
in accordance with the statute IN such
cases and won out after an extensive
oral hearing. The judge of probate
decided that he and not the man ap-
parently receiving the votes was en-
titled to the ONCE.
AS an instance OF the cumbersome
detail of the right. II Is recited that
there were no less than 731 contested
votes between the parties and 1t was
requested by counsel for Mr.. Fulton
that the judge of probate render q
Judgment separately for each man
whose right to vote was questioned
In the case. This the probate Judge
refused to do and II was from such
Judgment that the appeal was taken.
Justice A. d. Sayre who wrote the
opinion In the case says that the Su-
preme Court did not feel justified in
Interfering with the judgment Of the
lower court as II had always been the
rule not to Interfere in such contests
where there was mass of testimony
taken orally in the presence OF the
court unless the decision was so con-
trary TO the evidence as to warrant
q Judge sitting at nisi prius to set
aside verdict Of jury on the same
testimony. 1t was stated that the
judge OF probate was a better Judge Of
the facts than the Supreme Court could
be.
1t was set out In the opinion how
there was much testimony taken ore
tenus and that 1t related TO disputed
identity, age, residence OF voters,
fraudulent issue of poll tax receipts
and registration certificates, the extent
and permanency OF alleged disability,
payment of poll taxes not shown by

strikingly considered this week when it was shown by figures from the cus-
 toms office that we annually consume
 S7.5OO.OOO worth of canary bird seed.
 There are not less than 5.000,00O caged
 birds in the United States, according
 to the closest computations available.
 The ordinary house canary consumes
 about 25 pounds of seed a year, or
 some 900 times his own weight, at an
 average cost of $50 per bird. New
 York with it's 4OO,OO0 canaries leads
 all the other cities with a bird food
 bill of S6OO,00O annually. Most of the
 canaries in this country, according to
 the report, come from Germany, 25O,-
 900 of them being shipped from that
 country every year. The wholesale ay- craze price, according to the largest local importer, is T cents for male birds and r cents for females. Ac- cording to his statement canaries are about as cheap a luxury as can. be 1 found, because of the fact that they are generally purchased by persons of small means, who at the first attempt | to boost the price immediately stop | buying. Including the birds themselves. | seed. other food, cages and dishes and | the like. it is estimated that this cOun- try invests annually about S25.0O0,000 1 in canary music. a figure to make even i a grand opera impressario jealous.

 One day he got started on a favorite topic. and for some time had been
 1inging his "ahs" right and left and into the very teeth of his long, suffer ing colleagues, until one Wag of a member made mp his mind that the house had received sufficient enlight-
 enment and devised a plan to shut off the flow of eloquence and administer a salutary lesson to the new member
 on the value of brevity. Accordingly, Mir. Cooley's next "ah" was followed by | an "ah" similar in tone and infection | from the legislative joker Ono double meaning intended). Two or three of ! the other members immediately caught on to the game, and at the next inter ruption the echoing "ah' was little | louder. The next time it Was still l stronger, until finally the echo and it's accompanying litter were taken up all
 around the circle. Cooley was visibly
 embarrassed. but he was game and kept right on with his talk. After a
