To the Editor of The Age Herald
 Without endeavoring or desiring to take other notice of the very evident attack made on me and my stand on the fee system in your editorial of the 18th in- stant, beg leave in justice to myself to ask that you publish the following state ment relative thereto:
 I am opposed to the fee system. have been, am yet and will be tomorrow and this from no purpose to capture votes by Jumping into a political band wagon. The report of the January grand jury contained the following paragraph regarding the fee system: We most earnestly request our representatives in the legislature to take the proper steps to abolish the fee system and put all our county officers on salary. By so doing the law will be better enforced and with less friction or criticism" I was a member of that grand jury; I thorough ly indorsed the insertion of the para graph quoted. I am opposed to the fee system as wrong in principle, not only in the sheriffs' office but in other county offices as well. As to the remedy.

Governor Regards Compulsory Education As Most Impor-
 tant Matter Now Up
CALL WILL INCLUDE ALL
 BILLS FOUND FAULTY
Governor Says That Fee System or Any Subject In Fact Gan Be Taken Up By Two-Thirds
 Vote.

A conversation with Gov. B. B. Conner. who is in Birmingham to spend Sunday with his family left the impression that the Governor does not intend to put the consideration of the fee system in his call for the extra session. In fact he made that very plain when he declared that the legislature could by a two thirds vote, take up the matter at It's discre- tion.
 The Governor is going to make an- other great effort to pass the compul- sory education laws, which, he declared, gives him excuse enough to call the ex- tra session. He was found on the front verandah of his residence In deep con- versation with Attorney M. c. Selheim- er who is one of the advisers of the administration in its legal fights.
 T thought you would give me some information about the extra session." was the leader.
 well, I'm going down to Montgom- cry tomorrow, to Tuscaloosa next Mon- day and to Montevallo the Monday after that. but l haven't gotten to the extra session yet.' he replied.
 Do you intend to put the fee system in the callT'
 "Oh, that's what you newspapers are talking about so much here lately, isn't it? Well, that's a part of legislation that I know absolutely nothing about. You fellows will have to work that out for yourselves"
 But the question is whether the legis- lature will be given the opportunity to let the people pass on the matter" said his questioner.
 You know the legislature can take up anything 1t likes by a two-thirds vote , he said, and this seemed to dismiss the subject. Unless organized effort Is made 1t appears the Governor will be hands off of that proposition
 "Of course Greater Birmingham will be given attention?"
 "Yes will put into the call the con- sideration of every bill which fell through on account of carelessness. don't like that kind of thing and I want to see 1t corrected, whether l favored the bills or not. Greater Birmingham, the prohi- bition laws, the anti-pistol bill, and every journal bill that needs amending or inn proving will be included in the call.'
 Governor Conner mentioned the possi- biity of his placing a clause in the call, allowing the consideration of a dog tax He was very much concerned with the great number of mad dogs which are running at large in the state. It will be remembered that the Governors atten- tion was called to this need by Capt, Peter B. Mastin, a member of the legs- lature from Montgomery, who introduced a bill in the last legislature which was killed in the senate.
 He stated positively that compulsory education would be a part of the call, and that he considered nothing so im- portant The administration will take u big hand in pending affairs.

FOUR CANDIDATES
 ARE NOW IN FIELD

Four candidates are now going down the finish in the race for the 1egisla- ture to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of R. F. Lovelady in Jeff ferson county.
 The entrance of Capt. Romaine Boyd of Ensley on the last day was unex- pected and will enliven the race consid- erably. Captain Boyd is popular young lawyer of Ensley and is one of the cit izens of that town who is heartily in favor of Greater Birmingham and be- lieves that the majority of voters in Ensley really want to get into Birming- ham.
 The other candidates qualifying were Dr. Felix l. Tarrant, J. Murray Norment and Dr. w. F. Black of Sayreton. Each had to file petition bearing 300 names with the probate judge and o'clock was the hour for closing the list of entrances
