FAUCfTTE BILL
 PASSES THE HOUSE
Measure Providing for Elections on Consolidation of Little Rock and Ar- genta OvercOmes Objections and
 is Passed by Large Vote.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 24.-In the House this morning a measure of considerable interest to the citizens of Little Rock and Argenta, being the bill proposed by Representative Eau cette for the consolidation of the two municipalities, was passed by a large majority. The bll is general in it's nature, but applies particularly to conditions here.
 Under this measure the cities upon petition of the requisite number of citizens from each town may vote on the question of consolidation just as proposed under the Oldham act of two years ago. However, before the vote can be effect ve there must b ma jority of the electors of each city in favor of consolidation. This is the provision, MT. Faucette believes which will make the proposition of consoli- dation an absolutely fair one and pave the ~ sy flor reunit,ng Little Rock and Argenta without the friction which was generated under the for mer act where those opposed to con- sOlidation could argue that the small CT city did not have an equal voice with the larger municipality in fhe union. The matter now goes to the Senate, and MT. Faucette believes il W Il pass that body without delay

GIVE US SALARIES
 BUT NOT PETTY ONES

P.ne Bluff, Ark, Jan. 24. 1911.
 Editor Graphic There is food for reflection ill Senator Toney's bill to reduce the salaries of the various Jefferson county officials. There is also a choice package of taffy hand ed Judge Grace in his letter of ex- planations
 To reduce the salaries of the county officers means that they are to be taken out of the hands of competent men and turned over to men who are unable to earn decent salaries at oth- Ter pursuits of fe. By this I do not mean that MT. Toney had anything of this kind in view, for I believe his in- tentions were good and that he only had in mind of the saving of several thousand dollars in salaries to the tax payers of Jefferson county, for which he deserves credit. But if MT. Toney and our representatives will seriously consider the matter for a moment all will readily see that none i of the officers now serving the peo- pie here, or in any other county, would have the offices as a gracious gift at the salaries named. Any one of them could engage in other Ilsi. ness and make more than the salaries named in Mir. Toney's measure, and at the same time be relieved of the re- spons bilities now resting upon them
 If this bill is good one why does ! it not carry reduction in the salary of the Senator and representatives? Or, why not make 1t apply to each and every county in the state? The salary basis is all right, and as Mfr. Toney says. the people want it, but an of flee that does not carry decent sal ary would never be sought or accept ed by any competent or self-respect- ing man, and would soon drop to a par with the office of justice of the peace and be cons dered only fit f6r those who were unable to earn a de- cent livelihood at anything else.
 | Place the county and township of ficers on salary if you like. but place that salary at a figure that will command respect and efficiency.

 COSTLY FIRE
 AT MONTICELLO

City Was in Darkness Last Night as a
 Result of Plant Being Destroyed.
 Monticello, Jan. 24.-Mont-cello was in darkness last night as a result of fire yesterday which destroyed the power plant. The loss is estimated at $15,000.
 The building in which the machin- cry was located was of frame con- struction and the flames found easy picking to destroy the entire plant. There was no insurance on the plant.
 The city is without water or light, and will be in this predicament until connections can be made with some other plant or until new machinery can be secured.

| thought that one methodical ought to
 make a good office man. He offered the
 job to MT. Lloyd and MT. Loyd took 1t. In order to reach his home at the end | of the week, however, MT. Lloyd often found it imperative to walk the entire | 16 miles that intervened between the court house and his farm. | And he did 1t, not only once. but dozens | of times.
 | Since 1907 MT. Loyd has been in the of- | flee of the state tax commission, and Is | generally credited with knowing as much about taxes as any man in the south. During the past four years he has per l sonally visited every county of the state and Is now retracing his steps. His nu-
 merous friends throughout the state will
 undoubtedly see to 1t that his cause Is | advanced.
 MT. Loyds candidacy Is expected to precipitate announcements from time to time within the next three or four
 months.
 Some probable candidates at the pres ent time. with the office for which they are mentioned, are: William F. Feagin, for superintendent of education; Brooks Smith. for state treasurer; Hector D. Lane. for commissioner of agriculture, for which office former Commissioner J. A. Wilkinson and R. R. Poole are like wise mentioned; William Logan Martin, for Attorney General; Fitzhugh Lee, for state auditor.
 It has been suggested that Frank H. Julian, associate railroad commissioner. might venture for gubernatoral honors He says in regard to the report. how ever, that he Is too busy looking after his railyoad commission duties to see any other future save rates and depot im- provements.

 Governor Conner has grown in favor since he left the gubernatorial office. He | has won many friends that he did not | have at the time he retired from office. | Moreover, he is looked upon as one of the states strongest men, and one of her most fearless citizens.
 Many believe that Governor Conner has

 able candidate before the state in the 1914 gubernatorial campaign
 Definite announcement has been made
 by Will R. Lloyd, secretary of the state tax commissioner, that he Is going to

Bay Minette, November 11.-(Special.)- Word has been received from the In- terstate Fair at Pensacola to the effect that Baldwin county, had captured sec ond prize at that place and that the race for the coveted first position had been a close one, only the closest ex- aminatons of the exhibits determining the leader of the two.
 The commissioners of this county have adjourned their November session until December F, at which time they will be in session preparatory to accepting a bid on the new jail, which is to be erect ed on the lot recently purchased for that purpose.
 A special car of products from this coun- ty left yesterday over the Louisville and Nashville for Chicago. where the prod ucts will be placed with the United States Land Show in the Coliseum.
 The first of the heavy fall and win ter excursions over the Louisville and Nashville from Chicago brought a good many new settlers into the county. The first section arrived Wednesday after noon and the second section Thursday afternoon. The prospectors are now be- ing shown over the county.

MUCH TALK HEARD ABOUT THE RACES FORSTATE OFFICES Interesting Questions to Be Settled By the Execu-
 tive Committee NAMES MENTIONED FOR VARIOUS PLACES Already Several Suggestions Have Been Made as to Who Will
 Be in the Contests
By BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, November 11.-(Speciai')- The probable convention of the state democratic executive committee in Mont gomery carly in January, 1912, or late
 in December of this year, along with some of the important political questions that will come up for debate and de- cision at that time, have served the pur- pose of somewhat stirring the political waters that have been more or less placid for some time. It Is true that insofar as genuine politics is concerned, the state within the past year has had its pro rata share, but not for year has the calm been ruffled by state candidates, who are even now putting themselves into line for fight to the finish before the polls when next they are opened for the ballots of the voters.
 When the state democratic committee meets in Montgomery one of the interest Ing questions that will be disposed of will be whether or not the Alabama pres idential electors shall be instructed in convention or primary as to how they shall vote at the next national demo- cratic convention. The question is of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-12

 especial interest to the friends of the three most formidable democratic can didates-Oscar w. Underwood, Woodrow Wilson and Judson Harmon--but it is at the same time furnishing thrills for number of candidates who intend to offer themselves at the next election for some of the state offices that are to be vacated.
 Insofar as the presidential situation is concerned, 1t Is taken for granted that no matter how the determination may be reached, the electors will be in- structed to cast their ballots for the bril- liant Alabama congressman, who within the past few weeks has been sweeping through the country like a cyclone; but what does interest the state to some ex- tent is to ascertain if possible the rela tive strength of Governors Wilson and Harmon should a combination of circum- stances keep Congressman Underwood the leader of Congress. rather than the first citizen of the United States. It is believed by many that a primary would decide in favor of MT Wilson. Should the convention be decided on, 1t is gen. orally considered that in such body MT. Harmon would find his greatest strength.
 Regarding State Offices
 Regarding some of the state offices that are shortly to be the aim of. golden mouthed orators and dispensers of ''blar- ney," no attorney has yet been heard to havo the temerity to announce him self for the two supreme court judgships that are to be baloted for next fall. From present indications, Associate Justices Mcclellan and Sayre will easily be the choice of the convention that is to nomi- nate men for the two vacancies. Their brilliant record in the supreme court Is taken as license for the statement that they can succeed themselves about as often as they please. 4
 Other state offices to be ballotted on next fall are the office of state fish and game commissioner and the presi- dency of the Alabama railroad commits sion. It Is believed that John H. Wal lace, Jr., present game and fish commits sioner. will offer to succeed himself, and that he will make the race warm for anyone who cares to oppose him. It is certain that Charles Henderson, present president of the railroad commission, will be candidate to succeed himself.
 Probable Candidates as RumOred
 As rumor has 1t. Capt. Peter Mastin of Montgomery, for many years a legis- lator from this county, will make the race, though some doubt Is expressed as to whether or not be will offer. It is hinted that Captain Mastin may prefer his own bountiful fireside; his own fox chases, and his old hunting and fishing
