Conner, prominent in political fra ternal and business circles, and resident of Greensboro, Hale county, says that he is unalterably opposed to the fee sys- tenn as now operated by the counties of the state.
 You may say it strong that I am against every part of 1t, as an injurious as well as iniquitous condition that Is burden to the people and a great in- justice to those who are helpless and unable to fight against it." he continued with spirit. q favor a graduated system of salaries that will injure no man, but relieve the state of the pressure that time upon it.

 There was feeling of disappointment when the supreme court on Tuesday, the first day down this week, failed to report a decision in the Impeachment case against Sheriff Frank Cazalas of Mobile county, tried last week on the charge that he did not so administer his office as to prevent the lynching of negro last January. It was so confidently be- lleved that something was going to be given out that the court room was crowd ed. So when nothing came of 1t a re- gretful crowd walked out the doors hav- ing no interest in the further routine of the session.
 However, there was something of in- terest, after au In an opinion by MT. Justice Sayre the action of the circuit court of Marshall county in sentencing Dr. w L. Noel, aged 60 years, of Boaz, to the penitentiary for seven years for killing Marshal Roberts of Boaz, was affirmed; in the case of Whaley, from the Birmingham criminal court, the law al- lowing street railway lines to fix rules for the use and issuance of transfers was declared unconstitutional, and unwar- ranted relegation of power, and a couple of other cases of minor importance dis posed of. And 1t was further reported, though not from the bench, that the Ca zalas case would come down one day this week.
 Mandates Delayed.
 With the first of the month the Ala bama rail lines which have been fighting the statesrate and regulation rates began selling tickets for 2h cents a mile, though the mandate of the circuit court of ap- peals at New Orleans, ordering the rates put in, was not received by the district court at Mobile until Tuesday night Clerk Ledman of the court of appeals wired the officers here that the docu- ment was so lengthy 1t was impossible to get it copied and down by the even ing of June 1, as promised.

the general managers of the Arizona

there were no very great changes
made by any of the gentlemen in the
work which seems most satisfactory
as far as it has gone. The grade line
for the standard gauge track to the
mines at Ray from this point is re-
ported unsatisfactory and this report
seems quite true, as the engineer be-

strange; certainly. none has ever Of

The exposition atmosphere is dis

ALL READY AT THE WHITE
HOUSE

Washington, May 31.-An interest
ing event at the White House to-
morrow will be the opening of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition at
Seattle by President Taft. He will
touch a solid gold key ornamented
with gold nuggets from Alaska and
will transmit the electric spark that
will start the machinery in the ex-
position grounds. He will receive
messages from the exposition officials
and will transmit one of congratula-
ton and good wishes. The ceremony
will take place at 3 o'clock in the
East room at the White House, or
noon, Seattle time.
The gold key which the president
will touch was presented to him a
few days ago by Secretary Ballinger,
and the Washington congressional
delegation. 1t is said to be the most
unique instrument ever used by a
president for a similar purpose.
