NEWS OF ENSLEY

Ensley's real landmark is doomed.
 After October the old Ensey hotel will be torn down. Made famous in the latter sos by Col. Enoch Ensley and his friends. the old hotel through adversity was involuntarily retired" for about ten years, but 'came back in 1898 when Ensley began to grow, following the breaking of ground for the steel mill.
 As to what will adorn the site when cleared is not officially known, as M. H. McDowell, manager for Ramsay & Me Cormack, stated yesterday that this has not been decided Although dignified by the name of hotel. it bore the dis tinetion of not having a paid guest for many months after it's erection. Colonel Ensley and Mrs. Ensley, living in lavish style royalty entertained their friends and the plebeian custom of affixng ones name to a soiled register was unneces- sary At the head of a S2, 250Oo0 coal and iron company and Si0000,000 land com pany, the Ensley Land company of to- day, all visitors were treated as house guests. Until the death of Mrs Ensey, which occurred in Europe, the colonel re- sided in his hotel After her death he went to Russellville to promote large min eral interests. In the raging of the old hotel the oriignal landmark will go, al- though numerous other structures

The fee system as applied to Jefferson county has been the subject of much comment not only in this county, but throughout the state, and 1t is understood that a constitutional amendment is being proposed to abolish 1t and put the several county officers on a salary basis.
 The fec system has been the hope of every aspiring officeseeler and during the campaign preceding primary election in April the various candidates for county office come out and boldly declared
 'I am in favor of abolishing the fee system and putting the several offices of the county on a salary basis, ana probably this statement was an import ant factor in the election of the successful candidates.
 How much sincerity was in their, food assertion remains to be seen. Certain 1t is that half dozen offlcehoders are waxing fat on the fees and emoluments of the county offices and half dozen candidates s-elect are eagerly waiting until the first to participate in the lawfnl spells of political office
 Be this as it may and of course every body believes it to be true there are other evils existent in the county that are just as repugnant to right and justice as the fee system, and one of these is a change in the criminal practice and code of procedure in our state.
 Yesterday Judge H. R. Abernethy and the writer visited the county jail at the noon hour The prisoners dinner was being served and Deputy Sheriff Meri- weather, who has charge of the kitchen, invited the distinguished and versatile jurist and the writer, which was accepted. to dine. We were served in the kitchen with the same food that was prepared for the prisoners, consisting of side meat. black eyed peas. cabbage, corn bread. biscuits and molasses. The meals were well cooked and most appetlzing and the writer can truthfully say were thor oughly enjoyed A feature that made an impression was the absolute cleanliness of the kitchen and the wholesomeness and good quality of the food. It might also be mentioned that neither Sheriff McAdory nor Mir Meriweather had any inkling of the visit of the two guests. we just dropped in as 1t were So much for the dinner.
 Mir. Meriweather has half a dozen negro assistants who help to cook and prepare the food the chief of which ls negro named Dock Avery, charged with petit larcency.
 Judge Abernethy knew all the ne- groes employed in the kitchen or at least they knew him, and in ban- tering way he asked the reason why they were registered at the Hotel Me Adory Dock Avery stated that he was accused of petit larceny. the specific offense charged was stealing pair of shoes valued at six bits Dock stated that he was ready for trial. had been ready for trial at any time since his

been taken away, such an injustice of keeping a man confined in the county Jail awaiting trial could not exist and the county would not be burdened with the keep and maintenance of prisoners for month after month who may pos sibly be innocent.
 committee of prominent attorneys have been appointed by the governor to investigate and recommend reforms in the law. or rather the rules of prac- tice prevalent in the courts of the state. The writer would respectfully suggest that the case of Dock Avery be investigated and surely If he has been confined eight months without a trial on a misdemeanor charge a just and equitable remedy can be devised and worked out by the learned attor- neys that compose the committee.

Another of the American defenders, the 32 foot Ankle Deep, had led the race by about half mile for 20 miles when, fin sight of the goal, the propeller snapped off.

 Sheriff McAdory Is not responsible for this state of facts. He has had the prisoner at hand whenever a trial was called yet Dock has been in jail eight months at an expense to the county of 30 cents a day: his case has been set and reset in the criminal court making additional fees for the clerk and sheriff, and his case is still unreached.
 This is not an unusual case and shows the absolute necessity from a standpoint of humanity let alone the saving of costs to the county of a court with Jurisdiction over minor of lenses.
