CLERK HAD RIGHT TO
 WITHDRAW RESIGNATION

When James S. Fowler rendered his resignation as Clerk of the Morgan County Circuit Court, there were many who were glad of 1t, so 1t Is claimed. The rejoicing grew when the judge accepted the resignation, making it effective Sept. 19.
 But when James s. Fowler recon sidered the matter ,and withdrew the resignation on Sept. 12. one week be- fore its date of becoming effective, the gloating stopped. The rejoicers imme- diately got busy, in the endeayor to make the changeable clerk stick to the resignation proposition.
 They used the method of a suit in the Morgan County Court, contending that he had no right to withdraw his resignation after 1t had been rendered and accepted. The judge, however. ruled with Fowler and the case came on an appeal to the Supreme Court.
 Yesterday the Supreme Court refused to hear the case. affirming the decision of the lower court by declaring that Fowler was justified in withdrawing the resignation before 1t was effec- tive

QUESTION AS HOW TO
 PAY TEACHER s SALARY

It required the legal opinion of At torney- General Garber to ascertain as to how the salary of J. D. Youngener, a school teacher of Scottsboro, would be paid. For the law requires that no salaries be paid unless the teache CT makes his, or her. monthly report
 And this Youngener cannot do, for he became. during the past month, in- sane, and reports and the rest of the world is far from his mind.
 There Is $2o0 due the unfortunate, and it was the payment of this that puzzled the officials, both in Scotts- boro and Montgomery. Finally it was decided, however, that guardians will be named to take over the supervision of the teachers affairs. The guar dians will make the necessary report, and the salary will go to Youngener's account through them.
