pendants who are bereaved by the death of their bread winner whether the mas- ter Is guilty of negligence or whether the death was caused by the negligence of a fellow servant or whether the father was guilty of contributory negligence? What difference does 1t make after the frail human body has lost its life and has been ushered into the great beyond. whether the lawyers in court can fasten liability or escape liability by recourse to legal re- finements, technicalities and sharp prac- tice? The interest of society is to com pensate the widow and orphans for the life of their bread winner of which they have been deprived.
 I understand that Messrs. Percy and Morrow are favoring the Chamberlain money shark bill. 1 I have no sympathy for any form of | rsurious business. I have no regard for
 the man who squeezes and draws the life
 blood from the laborer, whether as a loan of money or as the purchase price of merchandise.
 | This bill does not go far enough, while l 1t seeks to embrace the regulation of the money shark and installment house it does not take cognizance of some of the evil practices of commissary stores. It is altogether probable that with the elimination of the money sharet alone, the tendency would be to buttress the powers and privileges of the present commissary system.
 While am in favor of all legislation which will eradicate as far as possible the evils of the money lender, yet I am not willing to pay price of such eradica- ton the achievement of the laboring masses, and I am not willing by our sys- tenn to put the man who is dependent for a livelihood upon the sweat of his brow under the control and domination of his employer.
 Regulate> the business of money lending if you will Eradicate the loan shark who demands pound of flesh, but in so doing do not foist upon the people of Alabama a system akin to peonage SAML. ULLMAN. Birmingham, January 2S, 1911.

LOWERY CLAIMS All
 ILLEGAL. VOTES CAST

Russellville, January 2S.-(Special) The plaintiff. ex-Sheriff W. D. Low cry, who is contesting the election of S. J. Petree as probate judge of this county, has filed his papers in the case and they have been gone over by number of attorneys for the con- testant. In the papers MT. Lowery alleges that All illegal votes were cast for the defendant. MT. Petree, who, several days ago. began his term as probate judge. If the illegal votes al- legged are shown to have been cast for Petree then Lowery will have a legal majority of 470 votes. Petree, in an- swer to the papers of the complainant, alleges that the democratic candidate for. probate judge received 537 illegal votes. If so, when these are thrown out, he will have a majority of 63S votes. The, attorneys for the demo- cratic contestant are making prepar ations to have a tn orough hearing of the case
 While the republican probate judge alleges more illegal votes cast for the democrats than the complainant allege were cast for the defendant, it is the belief of some of the members of the republican party that many of the votes for the democrats marked as illegal by the republicans cannot be shown up as such.
 Both sides are preparing for bat tie royal. but 1t seems now that the only hope of the republicans Is to es- cape the consequences of the contest by some legal error Everything tend ing to show any loophole for the throwing out of the case have been examined by attorneys representing MT. Lowery and 1t is claimed that noth- ing can be found tending to a tech nicality by which the case will be thrown out.

Ind. her mother and her husband, shows that ones ills are often diagnosed wrongly and might prove fatal Read Mrs. Wampners unsolicited words of praise for the great kidney and liver remedy .and what 1t did for her whole family. T want to tell you what Warner s Safe Cure has done for different members of my family.

She was advised by one of our druggists to take Warmers Safe Cure. She took 1t two years and 1t , cured her. She Is still living and working hard every day.
 1T am taking Warmers Safe Cure myself, for I have had trouble with my kidneys since was quite small
 My husband was sick in bed for ten weeks last spring. The doctor was doctor ing him for stomach trouble but he grew no better. So got him a bottle of Warmers Safe Cure, thinking 1t might do him some good too.A He Is taking 1t regularly every day and feels much better.

Lowe Ha. Good Chance

Friends of ex-State Senator William T. Lowe of New Decatur say they are of the opinion that the chances of Senator Lowe's appointment to the office of asso- ciate member of the state convict board are exceedingly good.
 Senator Lowe has just come home from a trip to Montgomery. He said: T hardly think the governor will announce the appointments for the next week or SO. The best consolation I received was that Governor ONeal hasn't intimated yet who will be appointed Senator Lowe is prominent lawyer here and one of the best known citizens.
 The city councils of Decatur and of New Decatur have done nothing toward com ing to an agreement on the consolidation of the two cities. It looks as If the city councils were waiting for the people to act and it seems that the people are wait ing for the city councils to act. It is said that in the event nothing Is done by the city councils, large delegations of citizens from Decatur and New Decatur will go to Montgomery within the next few days and urge the passage of the Greater Deca- tur'' bill, which was introduced by Rep- resentative Dan Walden of New Decatur.

 New York Talk to W0men's Clubs-sOciety News

Decatur, January 2S.-(Special) )--The prospects seem quite fiattering at this time for the rmeoval of the Florence wagon works of Florence, Ala, to De- catur at an early date. In a letter to w. B. Edmondson of Decatur, John w. Fry, president of the Florence wagon works, says: Decatur looks better to me every day" MT. Edmondson will go to Colum- bia, Tenn, to have conference with President Fry, and 1t is believed at that time that some definite agreement will be made. Recently MT. Fry and other off cers of his company were here and looked over a plant already built with a view to purchasing 1t for the wagon works They were we'll pleased with the property and with the location of the two Decaturs in general. t.f
 The Florence wagon works is the fourth largest wagon factory In the United States employing 200 skilled mechanics at good wages. At meeting of the di- rectors of the company on January it was decided to move the plant, and since that time they have been seeking loca ton. That the Decaturs will capture the plant now seems almost certain.
