"Sock Social"

.
 The ladies of the Ensley Methodist church gave sock social" at the home of Mrs. H. c. Russell on Avenue E which was attended by a crowd that taxed the capacity of the handsome and spacious residence. The. admis- sion fee was twice the number of pen nies as the size number of socks ac- tually worn. If the size of the pedal extremities of the donors varies as much as the donations, it would take everything from a packing case to a pair of Chinese slippers to cover them. The musical selections were very pleas ing and, added much to very Nenjoya- ble evening. When it comes to chas- ing the nimbfe nickeIs and dimes the ladies of the Methodist church deserve the plum and not only that, they invariably provide an entertainment that is unique and we'll worth the price.

governor has shown an absolute ignor- ance of the first principles of the ap- pointing power. Has the governor of Alabama dealt fairly with the banking interests of Alabama ?' Continuing, he said "'Whether we incur the displeasurs of the governor or not, why should ws not discuss frankly democratic ad- mnistration?'
 "Flagrant Defiance"
 MT. Percy declared that MT. Walker had been appointed in fragrant, bald de- fiance of the statute under which thu banking law was established.
 "In my community Mir. ONeal received fatterng majority. The best business interests of that city, voted for him-the biggest bankers there supported him. l would like to know what those bankers think of the appointment of a man as superintendent of banks without consult- ing them?"
 Again referring to the governors speech before the Birmingham delegation, which was the most representative delegation he had ever seen from his city. MT Percy denied that the governor had been guided by efficiency in making his appoint ments, and referring to Mir. Long. said:
 'IIe was appointed to an office where the qualifications are knowledge or values"

 "I want to say, in my opinion. that if the governor had occasion to make an- other campaign in Jefferson county, it Is my earnest belief that his adversary would poll a much larger majority than he polled in his recent campaign against MT.

 MT. Percy referred to President Taft's appointment of democrat as chief jus tice of the supreme court of the United States, and to other appointments made by the President. The speaker declared that President Taft had not asked the question as to whether or not the men whom he appointed agreed with his pol icies but that he had seemed to require efficiency.

 Mir. Percy said:
 Have not I been discussing matters of tho gravest interest to the whole state?"
 There were cries from all over the house for MT. Percy to continue. and he concluded his address with these, words:

 Filibustering Tactics
 At the conclusion of pr. Huddleston's remarks Representative Smith moved that the motion of Mir Sanders be placed on the table. MT. Richeson moved to in- definitely postpone the Smith motion.
 Taking advantage of the debate al- lowed, Representative Darden of Blount county spoke in favor of the Darden measure, saying that the solution offered was a wise one. He thought that the county commissions best knew who would be most adaptable for the office. Filibustering tactics were actively en- tered upon, a rapid fire of questions and hurried responses showing that the house was in the throes of an extensive cam paign to delay vote on the question:
 Representative Pegram of Marengo county took cognizanoe of this manifes- tation by inquiring of the house whether or not the new English parliament would favor home rule for Ireland.
 N'I want to know shouted Mr. Pegram with mock anxiety, what will be the re- suit when the Panama canalSis opened if the Pacific ocean Is 20 feet lower than the Atlantic ocean?'<
 Mr. Pegram deplored the trend of the debate, insisting at the end that the pre- vious question be called.
 MT. Rylance was of much the same opinion as was MT. Pegram regarding the delay as unnecessary. He said that the regulation bill permitted of many changes that would improve 1t, but that the wisest course to pursue would be to reach a head
 MT. 6tollenwerck spoke to the same purport. declaring that the committee of whole was unnecessarily delaying the final test. He thought that business-like action was exacted of the representatives

lief that the majority opinion, instead
of benefitting business, will result in
much litigation, the injurious effect of
which will be felt for many years to
come. He agrees with the majority
in finding the Standard OIL Co. guilty
and ordering its dissolution, but In
the strongest terms condemns the
judicial usurpation Of the legislative
power"
His argument against the reading
referring to the prohibition Of com
binations "in restraint OF trade" Is
set forth at great length.
The senior justice quotes sarcastic
