BAY ANNETTE FEELS
 EFFECTS OF STORM

Bay Minette, December 2o.-(SpeciaD.- Much concern was felt Tuesday evening during the wind and rain storm which visited this section owing to the damage which might have resulted had the gale which was blowing increased to any de- gree. This morning little or no damage has been reported except that several barn doors were blown off and some fencing blown down. A few of the tele- phones of the local central were put out of commission.
 The wind began blowing shortly after noon and continued to raise in velocity until late in the evening it was blowing a little less than gale. Much rain fell during the afternoon and evening but this morning the wind had ceased to blow and the conditions in this immediate viz cinity are little the worse for the blow.

 Judge William E. Fort Announces For Senior Judge of the Criminal
 Court of Jefferson County

state my position at this time in re- gard to the clerkship of the criminal court. The law requires that the se- nior judge of that court shall ap- point the clerk; but l have always believed and do now believe that the democratic voters of this county should name their choice for this responsible position. Ours is a government of the people, and no important officer should be far removed from responsibility to the people. The closer our officers are drawn to the people the greater will be the interest of the people in the just enforcement of the law. The senior judge of the criminal court ought to be relieved from the possibility of com binations and political trades with ap- plicants for the clerSshiD; and the peo- pie should elect judge of that court who Is unfettered by obligations to any powerful interest and left free to carry out his duties under the law. am firmly convinced that the voice of the people should be heard on this as well as on all other issues which effect good government. I, therefore, hope that our county executive com mittee will place the clerkship on the ticket to be voted on by the people April l. Respectfully submitted.

FOR REFORMED ALPHABET.

Shall the worlds final script b
Roman, such letters as we use, On
Arabic or Chinese? The Roman
script has by far the best chance and
the best claim. Efforts are making
to introduce it in China and Japan,
and now the effort is making to in
terest India in reducing its so al
phabets to a single one.
In the 200 languages of India
there are only about sixty-three sep
arate sounds, but it would take soma
10000 characters to represent them
in print, as so many are syllable. But
before a Roman alphabet can be
adopted it should be reformed.
Simplifed spelling is good and
can be greatly extended, but a scien-
tifc alphabet, made by international
conference, is of the first Importance
to perfect what is called the mis-
sionary alphabet. Independent.
