Innovation In City Department of Health is Introduced--ActuaI Work Will start in
 Few Days.

If market and green grocer men of Montgomery cannot be good, they are urged to remember that cleanliness Is akin, to godliness. and must keep clean. The sanitary and health de- partment of the city will begin its score card system of keeping in touch with the sanitary conditions of the establishments within few days.
 Chief Clerk Marhhall King. of the department, Wednesday received his blank score cards from the printer. There are ten items of cleanliness which must be observed. For each of the ten a certain number of points will be allowed. the figures, totaling 100. Any deficient condition of sani- tation will bring about a reduction from the score.
 The condition of screens and fans will count Is points: of counters. blocks, vessels and scales, 10; of fish boxes and refrigerators. 10; floors, ceilings and walls. 10; cleanliness of attendants and mahner of displaying stock. 10; condition of cellar. 10: con dition of back room. 5: of delivery wagons, 10; manner of fish cleaning and poultry dressing, including a method of disposing of the offal. 5; general condition, 10.
 The warning Is sounded on the score card. that the keeping or offer- ing for sale any decomposed food stdffs will be sufficient cause to make the total score zero.
 A low score may be made the cause of arrest for violating sanitary laws.

Sunshine and Shade
 Of The Cadi's Court

Fred L. Ridolphi was fined $50 and costs in the Recorders court Wednes- day afternoon, after he had pleaded guilty to a charge of keeping prohib- tied liquors on his premises, 103 Com merce Street, known as the PickwicK Cafe The case against him or sell ing liquor will como up before the Re- corder January T. In connection with this case, another was made out which in reality will be nothing more nor less than a hearing to allow claim ants of the contraband liquor to prove their ownership of the property.
 Henry Smith. negro. was the prota- gonist in a little thrashing drama ar ter the adjournment of the court. lie was found guilty of assauiting ms wife. Alice Smith, but the evidence showed the absence of gravity in the case and the judge imposed the hgnt- CT punishment on him.
 "Did you know there were divorce proceedings against you. HenryT' ne was asked by the prosecuting attor- ney.
 Nav, sir" he answered. T ain't gin my wife any divotce, l amt never thought bout consultin' bout it.
 When informed that his wife had secured A divorce from him, his atti- tude was one more of perpiexity than despondency.
 George Meadows and his spouse. Mandy, appeared to answer the charges of disturbing the public peace. disturbing the slumber of several city blocks of people, more or less, and disturbing the arrangement of the domestic furniture in their house on Hull Street.
 George said they we're only playing. Captain smith thought 1t was stren- uous little playing that knocked the furniture a-glimmering and woke up blocks of sleeping humanity. but the Recorder was inclined to be mcrciful. He asked George If he was ever in police court before. George declared that he had appeared only as wit ness. Then the Recorder made a It, tie informal research among the old files of the docket.
 How do you explain this case against you in October?"
 "oh. yes. ledge; dat skipped my mem'ry"
 Mandy corroborated Georges state
 nent that they wefe only playing, and ! both were a1monished and discharged John Lockhart. a negro, who was 1 arrested on a charge of vagrancy, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to twelve months. The sentence was re- mitted later. however. and the negro 1 was discharged aftsi promise to get work within ten days.

BALL AT LETOHATCHIE.

Letohatchie, Dec. 29-(Special "A masquerade ball was given by the la dies of this place to the young gem tlemep at the dancing hall here on December 27.
 The decorations We're beautiful, con- slsting of red and green ribbons which were most artistically festooned from the corners to the .enter of the hall, where the proverbial mistletoe bough and Christmas bell formed the center piece. Southern smiiax adorned the windows. An immense heart, club, spade and diamond of evergreens were in evidence on the walls. This was In keeping with the invitations.
 The young men were bidden in rhyme. to attend the party, with playing card. which they presented at the door. and which was afterwards matched with some fair woman who became his partner.

SITUATION IS UNSETTLED
LOCAL REPUBLICAN POLITICS IS
 VERY MUCH IN AIR.
Piums of District Attorneyss and United States MarshaI's Offices to He Given Out---Can-
 dfdafes Numeroua

The approach of the expiration of the terms of office of United States District Attorney E. J. Parsons and United States Marshal J. H. Judkins is awakening interest in the question yet unanswered as to who will be their successors if they fail of re-ap- pointment at the. hands of President Taft. United States District Attor- ney Parsons term of office expires February 8, 1910 while Captain Jud- kin's term ends with the first day of the new year.
 The Federal appointments in Ala bama hinge largely on the attitude of State Republican Chairman J. O. Thompson. of Birmingham. and P. D Barker, postmaster at Mobile and Ma tional Republican Committeeman for Alabama
 If either of these dispensers of Re- publican patronage in Alabama have committed themselves to any candi- date for either of the offices named they have carefully guarded that fact with degree of perfection that baf- fles the candidates themselves.
 MT. Parsons has three strong com testants for his place and while the district attorney wears an air of con- fidence, 1t is nevertheless true that the situation is not altogether to his liking. The contestants for the dis trict attorneyship plum are. Warren s. Reese. John V. Smith and Julius Sternfeldt.
 Opposing Captain Judkins for his place are T. c. Bingham. of Mont gomery. and R E. Walker. of Mill stead, Macon county.
 It is not believed that the Presi- dent, will take any acton regarding these appointments until after Con- gress meets again January 1. and it Is not improbable that he will further delay action awaiting the lineup of prominent Alabama Republicans for and against the several office seek CTS.
 Captain Judkins returned from Washington wednesday morning where he has been for several days. but if he learned anything definite regarding his own chances he failed to let 1t be known even 10 the closest of his friends.
 Mir Parsons will go to Washington next Saturday night and. although he contends that the Washington jaunt win be solely on business at the re- quest of the assistant attorney gener- al 1t will afford a splendid opportun- ity to do little political fence mend. ing and may result in one or two sur prises for political wiseacres who dabble in Federal patronage in this part of Alabama.

JUDGE JONES NAMES
 DAYS FOR ROAD HEARINGS

The work of taking testimony in the rate case of the Central of Georgia Railway Company and the western Railway of Alabama must begin Jan uary 25 at the latest. according to a letter written by Judge Thomas c. Jones. of the United States Court, to Attorney General Alex NJ. Garber We'd nesday. The hearing of the Georgia Central case will take place in Savan- nah and that of the Western company will take place in Atlanta, the respect i've headquarters of the railroad conn panies.
 The Louisville and Nashville hearing will begin in Louisville. Ky, January 4. All three hearings will be in pro- gress at the same time. Col. w. A. Gunter of Montgomery will act as ref cree in the Louisville and Nashville hearing before special masters, and Judge w. S. Thorington of Montgom- cry will be the referee in both of the Georgia hearings.
 It is probable that Attorney General Garber will have to employ additional counsel in view of the heavy pressure of his office during the hearings.
