ARGUMENTS ON GREATER DECATUR City Council Continues to De-
 fer Action
MOBILE REPORT DENIED
Party of oil and Gas Experts From Ohio Examining Decatur Field. Believe Gas and Oil Is There
 Hut Very Deep

Decatur, January 30.-(Special.)-As an argument against the consolidation of the two Decaturs it has been said that De- catur is much smaller and more com- pact municipality than New Decatur, but that the revenues of Decatur are equal to those of New Decatur. It is a fact that New Decatur contains more people than Decatur that New Decatur covers much more territory than Decatur does. but records of the two cities reveal the fol- lowing figures:
 Assessed valuation of New Decatur property, $2,35S1s3. while the assessed valuation of Decatur property is only Si, ,S92, ,8S2. The tax rate in Decatur and in New Decatur is the same, yet the annual taxes of Decatur are only $11, .05, as against s1ssO9. .75 in New Decatur. making difference of $7,766.70 in favor of New Decatur. According to the above figures 1t will be seen that the assessed valu- ation of property in New Decatur is s965,- 301 more than Decatur.
 As yet nothing has been done by the Clty COUNCILS UT tiie tWo DeCatufS toWaius consolidation, further than that the De- catur city council agreed to pay one-half of the legal fees for an opinion on the constitutionality of the Greater Decatur bill It will be remembered that Greater Birmingham was made possible by a special act of the state legislature. Friends of consolidation are asking, 'if unconstitutional in regard to the Deca- turs, why not unconstitutional in regard to Greater Birmingham?'

 passes a general local option bill. Senator Screws of Montgomery had the following to say: q am indeed tired of the dila- tory tactics of those who playing politics in the lower house, have thrown them selves against bills known to be favored by the administration. There Is no doubt but that the most important question be- fore the legislature today is in reference to local option. The people have declared themselves in favor of local option. That representative who knows not this fact and does not appreciate the truth that the people are demanding certain reme- dial legislation has not sufficient intelli- gence to represent sovereign people.
 q am in favor of the senate passing a local option bill and turning it back into the house for favorable action by that body. The people will then become aware of who is and who is not to blame for postponing and checking this important legislation.
 '.The friends of local option are to get in the fight sure enough this week. and in case a local option bill is not passed by the legislature, no other important legislation will be-"
 Governor ONeal stated this afternoon '"Things seem to be assuming shape, and I expect that the opposition to the dem- ocratic principle of local option will fall away during the present week. am very hopeful of the outcome"

WANT CASEY TO EXPLAIN

Cullman, January 30.-(Special.)- much interest now centers about the all important question of whether JCullman shall have open saloons, dis pensary local option or statewide pro- hibition. The general administration To- cal option bill that is now pending in the legislature is a source of much crit icism because of its seemingly unfair ness to towns of Cullman's size. The fact that cities of Montgomery, Bir- ming gham and Mobiles population Is provided to have immediate relief from the tiger regime by direct legislation is the clause that Is meeting with tn e disapproval of the Cullman people. It is deemed that if these cities demand such legislation it is equally mandatory upon the legislature to give the smaller towns, and especially Cullman, the same relief
 There was at one time during last year as many as 40 places in Cullman where it was known that whisky and beer was being sold in open violation of the law and it Is known that large number of tigers still exist. At one time the dispensary seemed to be the most popular idea of the solution of the whisky question, but now 1t seems that the dispensary advocates are not so ardently pressing their claims and even that seems to be losing ground. This Is attributed to the slowness of the legislature to pass any liquor laws.
 Casey Must Explain
 Sheriff Bryce, A. J. Casey and a num- Der of others, including the attorneys for MT. Bryce. went to Decatur today to be present at the hearing of the order issued by Judge Dan Speake of the Eighth judicial circuit, command ing MT.

 Rev. Harris Trenches
 Rev. M. l.. Harris, pastor of the First Baptist church in this city. preached one of the most able sermons to his congregation yesterday that he has ever preached since his coming to Gull man. During the Sunday school hour in that church a petition was circulated among the ladies of the church for sig natures to be presented to the legisla- ture, protesting against any steps be- ing taken to repeal the present state wide prohibition laws, and it was along this line that Rev. MT. Harris made his discourse. He dwelt extensively along the lines of the preachers rights as q citizen and scored the advocates of whisky who have seen fit to dub the preacher who dared to stand up for his rights as citizen of his country as d political parson." His sermon through out was masterpiece of oratory. The same proceedings were carried out in the First Methodist church.
