Warm Politics.
railassxa Reporter,

one thing is certain. that both brains and talent were represented in the Montgomery meeting, and In many iu- stances by men who 1t can not be claimed are in leaRue with the whIskey interests.
 1t is evident there is big division of honest men who do not think it wise to put the amendment in the con- atitution: and if we mistake not there will be some warm politics in Alaha n at issue. The campaign is now on.

Don't Care for Expenses.

Mobile Item.
 When Governor Conner urged the passage of the forestry law. forbidding a man from cutting his own timber of less than twelve inches in diameter. he was told that it would bankrupt South Alabama. Of course, the folly of such a law soon killed 1t with the majority of the Senate committee. but 1t neveR changed the Governors mind. No bankruptcy argument goes with him when he Is not individually inter ested. It was noted, however, that he gave his endorsement to exemptinR cotton mills from taxation.-Pine Belt News. What The News says is very nearly correct. So far as bankruptcy is concerned, the Governor has shown the most absolute indifference. as note the great expense heaped upon the State in the recent special session of the Legislature and the immense sums expended by that body to meet the Then. too, the added s50.000 for an election which will prove his undoing.

DISASTROUS FIRE
AT CULLEOKA
j. 3. ToMLINsoN LOSES BARN AND
SEVERAL HEAD OF VALUA-
ABLE STOCK.

A disastrous fire occurred at Gull
leoka Saturday night when the barn
Of j. B. Tomlinson was destroyed
together with three head OF stock, a
lot of feed stuff and farming ma
chinery. The total loss will reach
about $500 with $500 insurance on
the building and $3.50 on each head OF
stock, the insurance with Mora B.
Fariss.
The fire started in the loft of the
large barn and is supposed to have
originated from matches dropped by
a negro who was sleeping in the barn.
The loss on the barn is about $500.
A stallion and jack for which Mr.. Tom
linson refused $3.50 a week ago, were
destroyed as was also a brood Llare
valued at about 5000. Four mules In
the barn at the time of the fire were
gotten out, but one was so badly
burned 1t will die, and others may lose
their eyes. One hundred barrels Of
corn, a lot of hay and some valuable
completed the loss.

NEW LAW POSSIBLY
FIRMLY TIES HANDS
OF FAIR COLUMBIA
CITY RESTRAINED FROM THE EN-.
FoRcEmENT or ITS OWN
ORDINANCES.
HATCHER SPRINGS BIG QUESTION
Joker" Worked Through Legislature
in its Dying Hours-Looks Bad For
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS coun-
ty Has Some Trouble.

Did a recent act of the Legislature
tie the hands of the city of Columbia
SO far as the enforcement Of many
city ordinances are concerned? This
was the startling question sprung by
City Attorney Chas. Hatcher last
night at the meeting of the Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen, and it is as yet
unanswered. This is the same prop
osition that Nashville is now facing,
and at first glance it looks to be the
most serious one that has confronted
the municipalities for many a long
day.
The law in question, which was
passed in the dying hours of the Fifty
Sixth General Assembly, was sup
posed to apply only to Nashville. It
is now believed that it applies to
every municipality in the state, and
there are some who suggest that It
was gumshoed through the legislature
as an effective antidote for the state
wide prohibition laws. That it is a
Joker" of the first water is assured,
provided that its provisions are as
understood here.
The act in question. copy of which
has not been received here, removes
initial jurisdiction from the municipal
ity and confers 1t upon the state in
all cases where the crime charged is
covered by the state laws. It's prac-
teal effect is to grant a jury trial,
with all the attending delay, to every
person arrested for violating the mu-
nicipal code. In addition it makes 1t
optional with the sheriff to receive
city prisoners, and in Davidson county
such prisoners were turned loose by
the sheriff, who didn't care to receive
them In the Nashville case a COM
promise between the sheriff and city |
court has been arranged, by which |
certain prisoners are to be accepted |
by the sheriff.
City Attorney Hatcher stated to the
Board that until copy OF the
1ew law has been received here that |
t would be impossible to render an
opinion upon it's exact scope. He was
instructed by the Board to make an
immediate investigation, and to re-
,ort at the next meeting. At the pres
mt it looks very much like the city
S to be deprived of the right of en-
orcing it's own ordinances.

PUBLIC IS INVITED
TO EXPRESS VIEWSON
A MONUMENT SITE
WRITE TO THE HERALD AND
TELL WHERE YOU THINK 1T
SHOULD BE ERECTED.
SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS MADE
Letters Will Be Published If OF |
Reasonable Length -. Committee
Will Make Decision in Next Few
Days.

The advice of the public is asked as
to the best location for the memorial
to be erected in Columbia to Senator
Carmack. The executive and advisory
committees of the association held a
meeting Saturday afternoon and sew
eral locations were discussed. 1t was
finally decided that as this was a ques-
ton in which the public is deeply
interested, an expression should be
asked from the people The Herald
will publish communications on this
subject provided they are written
briefly and to the point OF course, If
there are a rather large number of
communications it will be impossible
to publish them all, or to publish any
of great length. These communica-
tions should be sent into the Office
within the next few days as some de-
cision will be reached within the next
two weeks.
The first position suggested was the
west lawn of the court house. The
objections raised to this both by mem
bers of the committee and by artists
whose advice was asked, is that the
court house will overshadow the mon
ument and spoil the effect. Further
more the fire risk to the monument
would be greater If it is located near
large building.
The second suggestion was the CEN
ter of the intersection of West Sew
enth and Garden streets. Some con-
tend that his location is too low and
fat and the monument might be in
the way there.
Another suggested location was the
center Of the intersection of West
Seventh and High streets. and the
only objection raised here was that
it was perhaps too far out and would
not be seen by as many people as at
the other two points. The intersec-
ton of Garden and Eighth was also

PEARL HARBOR DRY
DOCK MAKES TALK

Mr.. Sloan, representing Macarthur

rived here few days ago with his
son, to look over the Pearl Harbor dry
dock proposition. Messrs. McDermott
and Overn of the MeDermott Contract

Nippon Maru for the same purpose.
A report came by the Siberia yester-
day that at the Navy Department a
flood of inquiries about the drydock
has been coming in for weeks. Mr..
Jackson of the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company at New York is
receiving inquiries constantly about
rates to Pearl Harbor, and possible
subcontractors were also deluging the
office for information. Granite men
also asked for rates from their quar-
ries in the Eastern States to Honolulu.
