40 PROHIBITION
 CASES DISMISSED
Flaw In Carmichael Bill Responsible For Action of CuIIman Judge.
 Realty Company Organized.

Cullman January 20.-(SpeciaI.)-- The unusually large docket in the coun- ty court which is to be in session two weeks, is occasioned by the fact that last year the jury list was not properly dated and the jury cases had to go over. A sensation was sprung on the court by demand of several attorneys led by Col. J. B. Brown, for the dis missal of about 40 cases of violation of the prohibition law because of the failure of the Carmichael bill to pro- vide for pending cases. These cases were all on the docket when the Car michael bill became law and the in dictments were obtained under the old law which the Carmichael bill killed Judge R, l. Burke dismissed every case.

POLITICAL MURMURINGS
 HEARD AT THE CAPITAL
By HERvEr w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, January 20.-(Spedal)- The announcement by w. D. Nesbitt that altheugh he is not going to seek reelection to the office he holds as a member of the railroad commission, he will get out of politics only when he is thrown out, Is taken to be significant here, especially in view of the announce ment of Charles Henderson for the of flee of governor. Many are doping him out for a responsible position with the incoming administration.
 A candidate for state office uses this argument for an early primary: II want to see full vote cast If the county offices are taken care of in one cleo ton and the state in a later one hund- reds will not go to the second Many a fellow will go out to help his neigh bor but will not budge to render aid to a state aspirant If the election is at the same time there will be maximum vote cast I would hate to be beaten with only about a third of the citizens qualified voting"

 Will BrickeIl Run?
 The report that R. C. Brickell will enter the race for attorney general IS interesting, in the face of the belief that Spragins, another Huntsville man, Is go- ing to offer for governor. It might be, some say. that Moody would enter the race for governor. If he does there will be he and Ormond Somerville, the lat ter for justice of the supreme court. in the same general primary So there is no weight to the suggestion, 1t appears. For a long time Alabama had two Unit ed States senators from the same town and for also a long time two justices of the supreme court from Chambers county.

UNIQUE POINT IS
 SETTLED BY COURT Evident Intent Of Voter Is Rule To Go By
 A LARGE REPRESENTATION ! Alabama Will Send Big Delegation to Educational Meet In Indianapolis. Over $260,ooo For Teachers January Salaries.

Montgomery, January 20.-(Special)-In esta blishing the right of J. R. Cantalou of Beat 19, Montgomery county, to the office Of justice of the peace the supreme court has held that the voter may mark out the name of candidate printed on ticket and put in it's place the name of one for whom he wants to vote, and the vote is legal. In other words, the evil dent intent of the voter is the rule to go by. if that intent is expressed plainly and without violation of the election laws.
 The will of Walter venable, rich Montgomery merchant, declared to be a forgery by the probate court of Mont gomery county, is thus affirmed by the supreme court, and the estate must be administered as if there had been no will at all. The trial of the case created a great deal of excitement, charges of for gery and corruption being a part of the proceedings in many ways. Venable was murdered in his store by negro.

PEANUT CULTURE.

Shall the lowly peanut super
cede the white robed cotton and
it's by products such as oil, hay
etc, make the route complete?
Shall tho cotton mills be replaced
or turned into factories of treat
ing the peanut, all because of the
evil objects of the boil weevil ?
In many districts the farmers
are raising gubbers in place of the
plant which furnishes the mate
rial for the cotton cloth, and the
question which arises is how long
before the peanut will be the sta
pie and cotton only crop used
for rotary purposes after the pest
which destroys it has been driven
out by the peanuts, which experts
claim requires three years.
OuuII tuo pehnut iCIku
Judge L. NJ. Pipkin, of San An
tonic, Tex. the owner of Il large
plantation in st. Helena parish,
Louisiana, answers affirmativeIy.
Judge Pipkin. who arrived here
Monday night, declares that pea
nut production is the salvation of
tho cotton planters who suffer
from the ravages of the boil vice.
vii. He says the billy lauds in
fected with tho weevil will yield
par acre from 20 to 81 bushels of
peanuts, valued at 81 per bushel,
and that peanut hay may be easily
disposed of at from S12 to SIS
ton. He says these lands will not
yield more than $40 to the acre in
cotton.
Judge Pipkin stated that the
peanut is sold principally in Eu-
rope and brings better price than
olive oil, and that the peanut oil
cake is az excellent stock food.
MANY cotton mill in the boil
weevil district" he said, ARE con-
verting their plants into peanut
mills, where the oil and meal are
manufactured"
A feature in connection with the
peanut industry which the Judge
said must not be- overlooked, is the
fact that three years culture of
peanuts in the present cotton
fields will drive out the boil wes.
