on March IA, 1908, revised his ruling to meet the act.
 The question of registering those who become of age is no more a question. They must be registered. The act says of those who might have been deprived by inability to get to the registrars and seek registration as a result These shall prove to the reasonable satisfaction of the board that by reason of physical disability of himself or sickness during the period the board of registrars were registering the voters in the precinct where the applicant resides in his fam fly or unavoidable ability to attend the registration at other times or by req son of absence from the county they had no opportunity to register prior to said time.'
 Concerning the inability spoken of in the statute, Attorney General Garber has ruled: In my judgment the word as used in the statute could not be con fined to simple physical inability. An unavoidable inability may depend on the necessities growing out of the inn perious and pressing obligations of do- nestle life or official business. which. arising from high sense of duty in each case, would render it impossible for the applicant to register at one of the regu- lar sittings of the board" It is also held that the term "at other times has reference Ito other regular sittlngs of the board and not to- the period when the board was registering the voters in the precinct of the applicants residence

Bessemer, January 26.-( Special .)--Out of all the agitation about the waterworks purchase has finally come formal legal proceedings to prevent the contamination of the deal whereby the city proposed to acquire the property. Papers are to be served Mayor l. A. Lewis and City Clerk J. B. Houston, as we'll as the members of the board of aldermen enjoining them from making the pur- chase.
 The bill was prepared by Attorneys Cabanss & Bowie of Birmingham and c. L. Odell of Bessemer. It was heard by Judge Sharp of the city court and the restraining papers were made ready for serving yesterday afternoon.
 The bill filed goes over the history of the waterworks controversy and the in- itial allegation Is made that the action of the board of aldermen in passing the ordinance over the mayors veto was a contravention of the act which author ized the issuance of S300,00O Tn bonds to make the purchase. The further allega- tion is made that the price to be paid is in excess of the amount provided by the act and that the city is deprived of the right to regulate the price that shall be charged consumers for the water

BREAKS RECORDS
IN MAIL TRADE

Chicago, July 27.-Thirty million
dollars represent the gross earnings
of Sears, Rocbuck, the big Chicago
mail order house, for the last year. The
net balance applicable to dividence is
at rate of twenty-five per cent. on
the entire outstanding common stock.
This breaks all records for the mail
order business. Whether the Juicy
melon will be cut and distributor
among the holders of stock depends
somewhat upon the crop reports for
the next month or two. Should these
be favorable, there is little doubt that
the meeting of the board of directors
in October will gladden. the hearts of
those fortunate enough to be in the
deal by the declaration of big divi-
dend.
