COMMISSION WILL
 MEET TOMORROW
Will Have Up for Consideration New Ordinance Regulating the
 Blind Tigers

The first meeting of the commission of the New Year will be held tomorrow morning. The meeting will be of great importance inasmuch as several very in- teresting matters will be up for consid- eration.
 One of the most important propositions before the official body will be consid- eration of the blind tiger laws asked for by the excise commission, which are said to be somewhat in conflict with the Hepburn interstate commerce law. It is said that section 10 of the ordinance is to be amended since Capt. A. G. Smith of the legal department of the Alabama Great Southern railroad pointed out the defect relative to the Hepburn law. The commissioners will receive briefs from Captain Smith and A. Leo oberdorfer, the latter attorney having drafted the ordi- nance.
 The commission will consider the recent letter of President A. H. Ford of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company regarding the 5 cent car fare reduction, and perhaps an answer to that letter will be made
 Today the city hall will be theoretically closed on account of New Year. How ever, Commissioner James Weatherly, who is the only commissioner in the city, will be in his office for a short time Gur- ing the morning. The offices will be closed and the officials will be allowed an opportunity to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

Transfer of Convicts

Many changes were brought about yesterday in the convict situation here. By noon yesterday $50 state convicts incarcerated at No. 12 mine of the Tennessee company had been trans ferred to Banner mine to be worked hereafter by the state, while from Ban ner 300 county convicts were drilled to Flat Creek to be worked by the Pratt Consolidated Coal company. The transfer from No. 12 to Banner was not attended by any incident out of the ordinary.
 The train was operated from No. 12 to Pratt City over the Frisco lines, thence to Littleton by the Southern railway. officials of both companies and several state officials accompanied the train. For the Pratt company Traffic Man ager K. K. Konville and General Su- perintendent Rosemond were on hand.
 On account of the change yesterday 1t is expected that great activities will be noted at No. 12. The company in- tends to operate the mine with free labor and to do so many houses will be erected there. It is said about 250 houses or perhaps more will be erect ed by the Tennessee company.
 The Pratt Consolidated company will spend in addition to the erection of a stockade about $50,00O on the Big Seam at Flat Creek. getting the mine in shape to attain the maximum ca pacity for the mining of coal. The com pany will have spent no less than $100,- 900 when the whole work is completed.
 It is said by competent experts that on the Big Seam" of coal the con- victs will have a better chance to work well than on the smaller seams. At Banner the men may stand erect and mine the coal, which is impossible on other seams. In this way, it is claimed, the men will be able to get the best tonnage and preserve their health at the same time

RAMSAY COMMENTS ON THE OUTCOME OF
 CONVICT CONTRACT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3


 and perhaps elsewhere and the arrange ment has never before been so harsh- ly criticised. The state is going per- haps one step further in the operations at Banner and placing the coal on the cars at a much higher figure than at Flat Top, yet not earning any less than at Flat Top, in my opinion.
 "The general contract is good one for the state and a good one for this company. It enables us to be reason- ably certain that we will have a cer- taing tonnage to stand on and the other considerations are favorable to both sides.
 We are satisfied the way the mat ter came out and have absolutely no word of criticism for anyone connect ed with the investigation"

a little fuller credit should be
given to the several parties who
without any compensation or
hope of reward other than that
of the salts faction of having
we'll performed a public duty,
were instrumental in making the
exhibit q credit to the county.
MI. 1. D. Aldrich, of Big Stone,
gave q large amount OF time and
elergy to the work, using his
automobile and spending several
days with it in search of suitable
produce and material for the
exhibit and also gave several

ing up the exhibit and securing

able products for the G. M Est.
P. railway exhibit. Mr.. James
Black of Big Stone and Prof.
Purdy of this city were also en-
titled to the hearty thanks OF
those interested in the enter
prise, for the spending of valua-
BILE time and services free OF
charge both in the county and at
Huron.
While on this matter it might
be well to call attention to the
fact that if there is any desire or
intention to attempt an exhibit at
the state fair next tall it is n ne
too early right nov to commence
to make PREPARATIONS by the Sc
curing of pure seeds and plan
ming for the growing Of distinct
i've and special crops of varieties
in grains and vegetables that
will be permitted to enter into
competition with that grown IN
other counties Of the state. The
county can make a splendid show
ing if the matter is rightly han
died, but it will require consider
able time and energy on the part
of some one or more interested
parties, and a financial plan will
have to be arranged for that will
meet the necessary expense
which will of certainty be much
larger than that Of last years eX-
hlbits.
