DISPENSARY WILL BE
 WELCOMED AT ATHENS

Athens, January 0.-(Special )-The out look for the return of the dispensary to Athens. which was killed by the prohi- bition laws that have utterly failed to prohibit, is good. The bill has been ad- vertised as directed by law for the past 30 days, and Representative Horton was elected on this platform, and the people of the county by large majority want the dispensary returned as it solves the question of handling whisky. There are today more wildcats and blind tigers in this county than Colonel Roosevelt would like to tackle. They are f1ourishng right under the nose of the law officers, who are helpless for it Is impossible to get sufficient evidence to convict on. The sooner the dspensary comes the better.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
 FEE BILL ON ROAD
Now Ready for Third Reading
 in the House
HOUSE IS EXCLUSIVE
Floor Without Unanimous Consent of the LegisIators-Exam-
 ming the Treasury
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

Montgomery, January 20.-(Special9- The bill providing for the segregation of Jefferson county in the matter of fee regulation was put upon it's second read ing in the house this afternoon. Fol- lowing the third reading the vote on it's adoption will be in order, after which 1t will go through the regular chan nels' in the senate.
 An investigation into the bills chances of being adopted brought forth the fact that there is scarcely any opposition in either house. It Is considered a prac tical certainty that the proposed amend ment to the constitution will be submit ted. For it happens that unlike another and previous bill of an identical nature, 1t has no opponent in the upper house who, through the reason of senatorial courtesy, can order its official execution.
 In a nutshell the scheme of the Jeffer- son delegation by means of which the trimming of the claws of the fee grabber is intended is to amend section 96 of article of the constitution to read as follows:
 ''The legislature shall not enact any law not applicable to all the counties of the state regulating costs and charges of courts, or fees. commissions or allow ances of public officers, providing the provisions of this section shall not apply to Jefferson county
 Election In 1912
 By the bill which is pending today for eight consecutive weeks prior to the gen eral election in 1912, the governor shall advertise his proclamation setting forth the fact that the question of the amend ment to the constitution will be voted upon at that general election, and fol- lowing the casting of ballots and the counting of same, he shall announce that result: after which the amendment. in case of its success, shall be effective.
 Then 1t naturally follows that the leg islature will have the right to legislate in the matter of fees for the public off cers of Jefferson county. Interesting po litical battles will then follow. doubt less, for it is probable that the people and the officers will hold different opin- ions as to the amount of the remunera- ton of the latter However, one point is in favor of the people-the office holders will not be materially affected. and the candidates will hardly run risk of endangering their chances of cleo tion by openly advertising what would be considered their greed for office on account, not of a patriotic desire to serve the people, but for the plums of public service.

cows AND POTATOES.

Iowa farmers have never had much
use for COWS or potatoes except for the
milk and spuds needed for table use

back pasture are strong incentives to
the growth OF a bank account and that
they assist very materially in paving
for the forty adjoining. Grundy county

ed Mr.. Carnegie, and in his speech sat-
urday he explained his connection with
the arrnor plate business. It was
during President Harrison's admins
tration, he declared, that he was trav-
cling in Scotland and received one day
this cablegram from Secretary OF the
Navy Benjamin F. Tracy:
The president considers 1t your duty
to enter into the manufacture Of armor
to equip the ships now on stocks and
save your country.
Mr.. Carnegie says he Is first OF all q
patriot. And when the president Of the
United States asked him to save his
country by making armor plate he
looked upon the request as command.
Secretary Tracy confirms Mr.. Cafn-
egte's account, so there can not be the
slightest doubt about it. The only
question Of real interest remaining Is
this what crisis in our national af-
fairs moved President Harrison. man
of unexcitable temperament. to send
a message to the ironmaster2 "Save
your country" were the concluding
words. One can recall nothing in the
Harrison administration which could
have aroused President Harrison to that
extent, unless it was our little fuss with
Chile. And that was very blood curd-
ling for about week.

insane, 50 as not to be responsible for
his actions. the jury shall return a

Thereupon the court shall sentence
such person to confinement in a state
asylum Tor the criminal insane for such
term as he would have had to serve in
prison but for the finding of insanity If
upon the expiration of such term it
shall appear to the court that such per-
son is still insane. his confinement in
such asylum shall continue during his
insanity.
Further, when such verdict OF
guilty but insane is returned in case
where the penalty for the verdict of
guilty against sane person is death
such sentence for the insane person
thus found guilty shall be for life In

power OF pardon after such inquiry as
