Did you ever stand on a prominent corner at an early moRning hour and watch the throngs of people on their way to work? Noting the number who were forcing themselves along because 1t meant their daily bread. and the others cheerfully and eagerly pursuing their way because of love of their work?
 It is e fact that one's food has much to. do with 1t. As an example:
 If an engine has poor oil. or boiler Is fired with poor coal e bad result is certain, isn't itf

THOMAS DECIDES IT

Decision Resuited from Habeas Corpus Proceedings Instituted for Re- lease of e-feaF-Ofa
 NegFo Boy.

That the act of Nov. ga, 1907, of the Alabama Legislature, which purports to repeal the juvenile court act, is un- constitutoinal was the decision of Judge W. h. Thomas of the criminal division of the City Court yesterday.
 Tn. accordance with his decision. he ordered the release of York smith, . jail for two months on the charge of grand larceny. York Smith had been remanded to jail through the court of Justice Young a channel of justice m violation of the juvenile court act. were such in session.
 Acting upon the presumption that the jnvepile court act had not been repealed, and that the act of Nov 2S. purporting to repeal it was invalid and unconstitutional, the attorneys for the negro sued a writ of habeas corpus, and it was on the hearing of this that the decision of Judge Thomas was
 Solicitor Stern for the state. con- tended for the constitutionality of the repeal of the juvenile court provision, and, upon the decision of Judge Thom- as, gave notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court. Inasmuch as appeals from habeas corpus proceedings nave precedence in the higher court. 1t is likely that the test of the juvenile court repeal will come to it's notice within flaw days.
 The negro was released, pending the appeal. despite the protest of the Solicit tor.
 A faulty passage, showing viola tion of Section 62 of the State Consti- tuition, and an attempt to repeal the juvenile court bill itself. instead of the section of the code into which the bill had been incorporated, are the al- ligations of the defense in making the fight on the constitutionaiity of the repeating act.

KIERAN IN COURT.

SLOW TO PAY TAX
Bur Ta.S DAYS REMAIN FOR THE
 VOTERS.
asubs Only Show That 1,060 Mes Have Paid Money Which Gives
 Thern The Rtght
 Ta Vote.

It is hard to realize. after an in- spection of the stubs in the poll tax receipt book of County Tax Collector Hails, that there are, more or less. $500 white men in Montgomery coun- ty of voting age. For these stubs show that only i.oe0 of these men have paid the s1.E0 which qualifies them for full citizenship.
 Il Is estimated that of the $500 men in Montgomery county, about 5000 are exempt from the payment of poll tax, because of age, military duty. or some other convenient excuses. This leaves $500 liable to the tax.
 And now, with February l, the last day of payment, only, two days of, there are only i.osc who have auali- fed,
 It Is expected that several hundred of the recaicitrants will be eorralied in the ofice of the Tax Collector on or before Monday, February l, and to accommodate these, the office will be held open until o'clock Saturday night. and o'clock on the night Os Monday.
 And then, if the voter, or the pros- pective voter at least, has not dis- gorged with his dollar and half. then the penalty of disfranchisement dur Ing the entire year will be visited.
 Then the prospect of an. added sf .Be on next years poll tax, win look somewhat bigger than does the single assessment of this year.
 There's nothing like political fght ahead to spur this American people 10 full realization of thefP duties. With no elections in sight. they are iistless and without enthusiasm in the matter of poll tax. Just a matter of eI .50. but
 "Oh. what's the hurry" one of the delinqueHts has said iolxingly. "There.s no use. Besides I'd rather walt tiil next year with the three dollars and have the interest on my money nntil that tiIne.'
 And so it goes and the opportunity lapses, untiI the voter awakes with a crash when the next year comes with his doubled assessment. But that there are many who are awak. ened to the duty Is shown by the fact that there has been larger col. lecttons during the last two days than before during the season. with prom. ise of e rush for the remaining two or three days.

 After the fertilizer plant and cotton oil mill are built, later will be added an ice factory, which itself will be of great help in furnishing the stock farm with pure water and furnshng cold storage dor the dairy products or the stock farm If this end of the en- terprfse is extensively pushed.
 Mir. Ellis has several business affairs to close up, ana as soon as this is done, the work of constructing the new plant will be commenced. In not q single instance has Mir.

Ellis was in town Thurs day on consultation with several hnan- ciers and Secretary Dave of the Com merciai Club.
 As yet, site for the new plant has not been selected. but tt Is believed It will not be far from the river Men interested in the developmnt or the Alabama River. including the Govern. ment engineers. say the natural trend of new cotton mills and gins will be to the river as soon as the channel ts brought to nine-foot depth the year around.
 The facilities for transportation of fered by the river when 1t has the nine-foot depth. will make 1t eeonomi- caliy imperative for mills to be buiIt and to be constructed by the river, es- In this way the rivSr will become the highway of heavy cotton traffic, Ike the Mississippi. and even at this early date cotton seed is one of the prin- cipaI classes of freight hauled by the steamers now doing business between Montgomery and the Gulf.

IN COURT HOUSE

With a rush of work that has been tremendous for the past week or SO. the office force of the County Tax As- sessor has completed the assessment of probably two-thirds of the property of Montgomery County. real and personal.
 The amount of work done. for the period of the year when the day for the ed by statute, is nearly four months or. the figures stand as a good showing for Tax Assessor Eubanks and his force.
 Every deputy of Sheriff Hood is kept on the qui vive with the task of aerv- ing papers for the coming session of the grand jury. which convenes next Monday. February 1, at the court house. The usual number of prospective jury. men. scattered throughout the county. is, in the summoning, job for the en- tire force. field and office workers.
 with the question of the grand jury raised. there comes the wonder. which is expressed on every hand, as to the work of that body. Now that the pro- hibition laws are the foremost in every mind, and now that their enforcement becomes the most prominent duty of every officer, 1t is thought that the grand jury, whoever composes the body. will enter zealously into an investisa- tion as to whether or not these latear laws of the State are compiled with strictly.
 It being the habit of late months for the grand jury to delve into the mat ter OE 'near-beer'' and other alcoholic substitutes. there Is tendency t0 be- lieye that the grand jury to be organ ized next week will make use of the usual function of such bodies, and ln- spect the substitutes as sold in Mont gomery. in search of suspicious inRred. ients.
 In the matter of indictments. the grand jury of next week will occupy the public eye now that several oftenses of n notable character have been conl- mltted since the last term of court the Swearingen- Parker shooting; the murder of Leon Spiegel and Abraham Goldstein whose mystery has apparent ly baffied the officers: besides numerous others of more or less prominence. The yestigations of all these will furnish bases for sensations during the few weeks to come.
 Solicitor Phil stern. and his assistant Logan Martin. will make on Monday their debut into the field of grand Jur> work and nvestigations-which forms the most arduuus and responsible task of the public prosecutor. The two were installed on January 1. since which time little opportunity for such work has arisen.
