E FEARED LEGAL ATTACK

Apprehending some legal attack, on the score that he was holding two of- dces, and fearing that it might possi- biy affect his title to the office of Tax Collector of Montgomery County, Hon. Charles B. Teasiey yesterday retired from the state Senate. in order that he might qualify as Tax Collector. Du-I ring the remainder of the session. Montgomery County will be without representation in the Senate. although MT. Teasiey expects to advise with his former colleagues and to give advise concerning Montgomery County mat
 Senator Teasiey was advised by cona- potent lawyers that 1t was not necss- sary for him to qualify, immediately. as Tax Collector and that he'could con- tinue as Senator for . reasonable length of time. during which time Tax Collector George ". Halls would hold on. In that event. however. quo war ranto proceedings might be tnstitutsd and he would have been subjected to costly litigation. which might possibly affect his once. He was afraid. under existing circumstances, that such pro. ceedings would be certain.
 Senator Teasley, in June. called on the Governor and asked for the prob able convenfng of the extra session. He wished to serve as long as possible. but if he could not continue as Sena- tor and had to qualify as Tax Collector. he wished to give. the people or the county a chance to elect his successor. The Governor was unable to tell him st that time. He held on. hoping that the extra session would be called accord. ing to the early reports In the first part of July. Now. while convinced that under the law, he need not qualify as Tax Collector. he retirea. fearing at. tack in the courts on his tenure of the offlce of Tax Collector. s
 MT. Teasley yesterday evening gave out the following statement:
 T have made every effort to serve through the extra session. and while advised by the best lawyers that I have a legal right to do so. and qual- fly as Tax Collector after final adjourn ment of the Legislature, am sure. should I attempt to hold over under existing circurnstancea would be fore cd into costly litigation. After con- sulting with aanumber of friends and carefully considering the matter. have decided to qualify as Tax Collector which in itself vacates my seat in the Senate.
 However, expect to keep in touch with the Legislature. and am sure the members of the Senate will advise with me in regard to matters in which the City and County of Montgomery are interested"

BOIL WEEvL SCARE
 IN CONVICTION COUNTY

There was some alarm in the offices of the Department of Agriculture and Industries yesterday when T. Tillis, a farmer living in Covington County near the Alabama Florida line. reported that he had seen numerous insects in the cotton fields of his neighborhood which resembled the description of boil weevtla.
 Commissioner J. A. Wilkinson is of the belief that the bugs are not boil weevils but in order to relieve all anx. iety has ordered specimens to be sent to the State entomologist at Auburn for a report on the same. There have been several similar reports from South Alabam points within the past Few days.
