RAIL LWAY RAISES
 NEW POINT |NLAWN

selma, January (speeial.)-The sel- ma Street and Suburban Railway com pany, through it's attorneys, Mallory X Mallory, has raised a new law point in Alabama that will prove of great in- terest to the legal profession of the state
 Some time over a year ago M. E Martin obtained a judgment for s5 against the company for killing his dog An appeal was taken and recently the court of appeals sustained the judgment in favor of Mir. Martin. When the court of appeals was created it was given final Jurisdiction in certain cases. such as the Martin case
 However, the constitution of the state gives to the supreme court general super intendency over all inferior Jurisdictions and the railway company Is now seek ing to have the supreme court pass on the case as one of statewide importance there being many important points in- volved. They have requested the court of appeals to send up the case for re- view by the supreme court. The question as toi the supreme court assuming juris- diction will be heard on January Il and the decision which will be rendered will be one of general interest to the legal profession of the state.

BRADLEY WILLING
 ID GO ON TICKET Use of COnvicts Will Prob ably Figure in County
 Campaign

The most interesting Controversy to come before the meeting of the Jefferson county democratic executive committee. the date for which will be announced next week by Chairman Robert N. Bell, will be the advsibility of making the office of clerk of the criminal court subject to the votes of the people. The most in- teresting issue in the county campaign to follow the meeting of the committee will be based on the effort being made at the present time to take the convicts Of the state from the coal mines.
 From the present indications there seems to be little doubt but that the committee will put the names of candl- dates for the clerkship of the criminal court on the open ticket. When asked yesterday what he thought of the idea, John Bradley, present clerk, said: Should the committee order the names of the candidates on the ticket, would be well pleased. It is understood that MT. Brad ley will have strong opposition in the persons of John w. Altman, Barnes Nor gan and others. F
 The people of the county are aroused to such an extent concerning the working of convicts in coal mines. that it is now a certainty that no futute member of the board of revenue can be elected withou, his having given an answer to the ques- tion, twill you work, if elected, to the end that the convictseof thfs countysmight be worked on the public highways?'
 As is known, the county has a legal right at the present time to remove it's convicts from the mines. This right mas never been exercised by the board of revenue. As to whether or not the ex- istence of the fee system is handicap to the more humane treatment of convicts no attache Of the courthouse would ,au- thorize an expression yesterday.
 From the plans of prominent people of the county, the fight against the fee system which will be waged at the polls this year, will be most strenuous one, indeed If the system is abolished in Jefferson county, it will be as a result of constitutional amendment to be fa- vorably voted upon by majority of the qualified electors of Alabama.

Morris of the State Farmers union has been issued in this city today and sent to every farm ing center in the state as one of the first progressive steps in the movement to increase the price of cotton.

During thls period the receipts of the commission were shown to have been s7e7o6a, while the ex- penditures amounted to s6lsS. .6i; B. F. Pat terson, member of the commission, IS charged with s9O70. this amount having been drawn from the fund of the commis- sion to defray Mir Pattersons expenses to the National Shell Fish convention, which met in Baltimore in November Examiner German stated in his report that the attorney general had advised him that there was no law to cover this ex- penditure
 The report of the examiner of public Joulllan, the secretary of the commission. According to Mir. German, these books We're correctly kept, the only criticism being of the incompeteness of the min- utes. In his report the examiner takes occasion to compliment the work of the commission, which he declares Is destined to become an important and valuable source of revenue. He declares that the commission seems to be doing it's best to execute the law with the limited amount of money at it's disposal"
 At the recent session of the legislature an appropriation of $15000 was made to the commission, though this amount is not yet available. The members of the commission are: John Craft, chairman; J A. Joullian, secretary, and B. F. Patter- son. The amount of salaries annually paid to the commission is $792i. Attorneys for the commission receive $l200 annually The report of the examiners shows tlrat back salaries amounting to S225O are now due. Reports covering the books of r. w Herman. clerk of the inferior crmina court; M. l.. Campbell. former clerk O the inferior court, and the records of the redemption of lands of unknown owner. were also submitted to the governor b, Examiner German.
 The examiner declares that there ha been "a decided improvement in the ad mlnistraton of justice in the inferio criminal court since June 19l0." The re port shows that the books of both clerlS were correctly kept, though he declares that the inferior criminal court prior r June, 1910, might have been designated al a court to increase the sheriffs feet accounts" The examiner reported tha SS5306 were collected by the probate iudSI escaped taxes in the case of redemption of lands of unknown owners.
