DECISION SOON ON>
 QUO WARRANT0

Montgomery, September 23.-(SpeciaD.- The quo warranto proceedings against the board of excise commissioners were heard before Judge w. w. Pearson in the cir cult court this morning.
 The petitioners in the case were repre- sented by Judge J. M. Chiffon who ad- dressed the court in the opening argu- ment Judge Chiffon was the only repre- sentative of the opposition to the board His address consumed some 90 minutes and he cited several cases in support of the contention that the excise commission had no legal existence under the laws ana that the Smith bill was unconstitutional.
 Judge Chiffon was followed by R. B. Evins of Greensboro, and B. P. Crum Of this city, who represented the state, At torney General Brickell was in attendance and assisted in the statement of the state 10 the court.
 Mir. Evins' argument was to the point and concise. He circumvented all the points put forth by Judge Chiffon ana cited authorities to sustain the state's contention. He was followed by B. P. Crum. who also made a splendid argu- ment to the court and brought in new cases. as precedents of law. MT. Crum showed conc!usively that the Smith bill was but part and parcel of the Parks bill and that both were one enactm ant. while the petitioners in the proceedings contend that the bills must be construed as separate and distinct legislation.
 After the arguments, which consumed about two hours, Judge Pearson took the case under advisement and will render q decision in a few days, it being in- nounced from the bench that the decision would be rendered in time So that the record of the case could go to the su- prcme court and be heard at it's Novemo OCT session.

 bile tour of Birmingham, Corey and Ems ley and were most liberal in their praise of every place viewed. Colonel Collier said:
 T have never seen the equal of the residential portion of this city, on High land avenue and on Red Mountain, in cities of more than 100000 population that I have visited all over the country" Mr. Dave said: "All that has been said about Corey fails to give an adequate
 idea of the skill, the rapidity, the pre- vision of it's creation. The idea to be worked out in the civic center will make
 Corey famous among the municipalities of the United States"
