Original Commission Kicks

The original commission did not accept as the shorn lamb the sudden change of the blast The characteristic meekness of the chop producer was not of them a characteristic. On the other hand, hav- ing just slipped the sweetness of fat of flee. they were determined not to be ruth lessly torn from the source of the sweet ness. Therefore, they immediately busted themselves with attorneys and quo war Tanto proceedings were filed. Judge Vert sustained their petition yesterday after noon. and the big fight is on.
 There is no doubt but that the point on which the final issue will hinge is wheth- e or not a commission, that is, a certifi- cate of office, is necessary for the quail fication of an officeholder who would hold office when otherwise qualified. under a bill in which it is not stmpated that such certificate is necessary. Judge Vert held that the commission bill does not make the possession of certificate of of flee necessary in the case of city commis- sieners. He held that when the governor rotified the members of the original com mission that he had appointed them, and that when, after this notification, they had made the requisite bonds. provisions of qualification had been fully compiled with. However. the second commission holds contrary views. and the supreme court will be compelled to settle the poin, in issue.

. Strength of Decaturs

But the Decaturs are too strong and too virile to be long disturbed by the result of a liquor or any other kind of fight. Here in this county of Morgan are two cities of combined population of about Il 900, one-third the population of the en- tire county, separated only by i'm aginary line By these cities sweeps the Tennessee, on which boats ply on regu- lar schedule. The cities have the ser vices of the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroads. In New Decatur is located the Louisville and Nashville shops, the second largest of that system. The shops employ 23O0 men. one of whom,
 John Patterson, is mayor of New De- catur, and another of whom, Jack Ed wards, Is mayor pro tenn of Decatur. The Decaturs offer splendid markets for cotton. one of the largest congresses Of the state being operated here. About the two are stretched excellent farm lands, capable of growing every variety of prod uce known to the south. The Decaturs are connected by excellent street railroad lines, the company owning which operates under a franchise in each of the cities The sDecaturs are adorned with fine schools and inhabited by people who are of high intelligence and who, to a cer- tain extent are progressive In municipal pride The roads of the county are among the best Of the state.

 one Of the very old cities of the state,

Story of Litigation

There is an intereStinf story connected with this case. It seems that many years ago, Senator C. M. Sherrod of Lawrence was hard pressed in political fight in his county, and that particular friend of his came to his rescue and brought victory out of what appeared certain de- feat Eventually, this particular friend of the senator's held a political office in Hartselle. Then Hartselle adopted the commission form of government, and it became evident that this particular friend would lose his official head were certain gentlemen of Hartselle named as com missioners. Senator Sherrod then rushed to the rescue. One of the members of the legislature who aids Senator Sherrod in representing Morgan county is A. G. Wilhite of Falkvile Sherrod and Vilhte, from all the available candidates of Hartselie, selected three best suited, to their minds, to promote good government In that city. The three selected were P. Pattilo, P. w. Williams and M. D. Wig gins.
 The two legislators interviewed the gov ernor and obtained the appointment of what is termed the original commission. The commissioners were represented as friends of the governor, although MT. Sherrod states that he afterwards learned that one of them, did not support the governor in his primary against Col. H. S. D. Mallory.
 Subsequent to the appointment of the original commission, it is gathered that a number of influential citizens of Hart selle visited the governor, and informing him that the original appointment were not his political friends, secured the an- Iullment of the original appointment. As far as known. Governor ONeal has not made public his reason for the change of his judicial or official mind.

Anton Brandvold was instantly

other end of the field, while the
repair was being made, Brandvold

$4,000 FIRE AT MARMARTH

Marmarth, N. D., Sept. 25.-
Marmarth was visited by one Of
the tiercest fires in it's history
when the Commercial hotel, Mic
GUMS barber shop, Chamberlain
candy shop, M. S. Olson's clothing
store, and the Pleasant Hour res
taurant were destroyed by the
flames. The conhagration origin
ated in the clothing store and
rapidly spread to the other build
ings in the same block. The fire
department responded promptly,
but owing to new valve arrange
ment of the hydrants there was a
short delay in bringing the
streams of water into play. A
stream Of sparks threatened for a
time to carry the blaze to the en-
tire town, and only heroic efforts
prevented this added disaster.
The total loss exceeded S35, 900, of
which $4,000 was covered by in
