The resolution which Congressman
Craig introduced in Congress a Few days
ago. and which calls for an investigation
Of the bull cotton pool, was offered at the
request of the members of the Selma cot
ton exchange. The cotton exchange at
meeting adopted set of resolutions pro-

they had made and who went TO law 10

The set Of resolutions adopted by the
Selma cotton exchange were forwardedu TO
Senators Johnston and Bankhead and 10
Congressman Craig. Congressman Craig
Immediately began to work upon the
question, with the result that now he mas
passed through Congress a resolution
which calls for a full investigation of the
question and which may eventually mean
that the cotton planters of the south may
get a clean market for the staple which
they grow.
The action which Congressman Craig
has so far taken in the matter is in
hearty accord with the desires of the
meeting of the local cotton exchange.
That body wants to see a clean market
and a law which will in a manner pro-
hibit the speculation in future cotton.

Selma, May Especial. although
Dallas county's favorte son, Col II. S.
d. Mallory, was defeated in the May pri-
mary for the gubernatorial nomination,
that fact is not causing other brainy Dali
las county men to hesitate to offer their
names for the good of the democratic
party in Alabama.
The brainy men of the county want
Dallas to hold the reputation which 1t has
held in state affairs for years. The pres
ent state constitution took from the coun-
ty it's Importance in state affairs when
Dallas county was one of the first to as
sent to being relegated to the place which
1t now holds in state politics so far as the
number of votes polled in elections count.
The vote of Dallas county favorng the
present constitution was as large as the
vote of any county in the state, so 1t liz
said and today Dallas ranks way down
the column in number of votes cast In
elections.
Although politics have become a buga-'
boo to the citizens of the county, there
Is a great amount of interest being man
Tested as to the platform which will be
adopted in Montgomery Tuesday. On the
delegation from the county there are
number of prohibitionists, but while firm
in their belief that prohibition is good
thing. they are, to an extent dissatisfied
with the present drastic prohibition laws
which do not prohibit, because the people
in a majority do not want prohibition, and
for that reason the laws cannot be en-
forced The majority of the elected dele
gates from Dallas county Will leave Sell
ma Monday afternoon to attend the state
convention. Many of the delegates are
born politicians, and are versed in the
foibles of the political game and can
play it.
Aside from the adoption of the plat
form which will come before the meeting
OF the convention in Montgomery Tues
day. there will be done much politicing
by Dallas county Dallas county wants
the craftsmanship, again, of the state DEM
ocratic executive committee. Dallas coun-
ty also wants the next speaker In the
lower house of the legislature.
II was stated here during the past week
that Louis q. Jeffries, a present member
of the state democratic executive COM
mittee. would be candidate Tor the eA-
ecutiye Craftsmanship of that committee.
Mr.. Jeffries has large number OF friends
upon the committee who recognize his

STOREY COUNTY WILL
SUE GOVERNMENT

An interesting turn in events
took place at last nights meeting
of the county commissioners in the
matter Of the bill Of Storey county
against the Federal government for
four years housing of u. S. prisoners
from 1905 to 1908, inclusively,
amounting to $3,641.66, when
District Attorney Noel was in
structed to institute suit for the
amount in the Federal courts in
Carson City. This action on the
part of the commissioners was
instigated by a letter received from
u. S. District Attorney Sam Plat
of Carson, who took the matter up
with the authorities at Washington,
where the bill was rejected and
not considered. II was thought
that the matter could be amicably
adjusted out of court, but the only
recoure is the courts, now that the
bill has been thrown out at Wash
ington.
For the past dozen or fourteen
years short term Federal prisoners
have been boarded at the Storey
county jail under an arrangement
by the sheriff with the U. S. Marshal
for feeding alone. The state
statutes provide that the. Federal
government shall pay at the rate
of So per month for each prisoner
for housing which includes light,
fuel, bed, etc, and 1t is under this
provision that the county seeks
remuneration. AS far as is known
there Is no existing contract or
arrangement with the Federal
government for the lodging OF
prisoners at the local Jail. Suit
will be brought for the above
amount, although the lodging OF
! prisoners for 1909 and 1910 to July
