 APPELLATE COURT ABOLISHED

Montgomery May 12.-tSpecial.)- Col. Alexander Troy, clerk of the Ala baiaa court of apeals. and secretary of the State Bar association, sees no need for the abolition of tho newly created appellate court Reports to the effect that the legislature, should it be called together in extra session, will probably consider the abolition of this court, in the enactment of other judicial reforms, are largely discredited by Colonel Troy, who believes the court is one of the most important that has ever been established in this state.
 The appearance in last Sundays Age Herald of a story to the effect that lshed aroused Colonel Troy's ire-not against the Hera1d's representative in Montgomery, for he and the colonel have ever been good friends--haec olim meminisse juvabit--but against those who had suggested the abolition of the appellate court. Consequently, when the modest representative of The Ago. Herald called at the genial colonefs office a few days later he was greeted In this manner:
 Hello, come in, observe from last Sundays Age-Herald that you are about to abolish my court, and as I m somewhat interested pecuniarily and otherwise I wish to enter a protest

MARION-UNIONTOWN
 ROUTE IS SELECTED
Perry Commissioners Select Lower Route, Which Will Cost $S5,O0
 Marion Will Have Town Clock

Marion, May 12.-(Special)-At a meet ing Of the county board of commissioners. held in connection with the advisory nem- bers, the route for the new public high way to connect Marion and Uniontown was selected. Three routes had been sur seyed by County Engineer Scales. one via Scott's station to cost Ss5,0O0 and one by what was known as the central route to cost s100.000. and the lower route, which was selected. to cost $s5,000 The appro- priation for this road Is only $50.0o0 ac- cording to the vote of the people in the bond election, and doubtless the differ ence will have to be made by private subscriptions as the work must commence at both Uniontown and Marion and build towards the connecting point.
 This road will go out from Marion by the Southern depot and down to the Thomas experiment farm, intersectlng one of the Uniontown roads near the Bates farm. thence to the plantation of George White and on to Uniontown; the route selected being almost level one. anu easy to keep in first class repairs.
 The board of commissioners also ap- rropriated from the bond issue for the maintenance of public highways in parts of the county not affected by permanent new highways as follows Curb's dstric. s4ooc; 1vey's district s6ooo Taylor's dis trict s5O00; Nichols district s5O00; of the Taylor funds s400 of its is to be spent in the vicinity of Scotts station.
 Town Clock at Last!
 Marion Is to have the town clock, after all the setbacks the committee met with in securing the necessary funds. Dr. Samuel Perry. who has been largely in- strumental in securing the clock. says the order has been placed and the clock will be running before the year closes.

 Farmers Encouraged
 

cullman. May F 2lspecial9-The local option election which is to be held on the 2oth inst. is beginning to attract con siderable attention among the people or tile county now. and 1t seems as though now that the fight will be considerably warmer than was. thought for in the be- ginning. The local optionists are making an aggressive campaign in the interest of ihe return of the open saloon. and the drvs are also beginning to show fight by the publication of petition asking the voters to maintain the present prohi- bltion laws in the county
 There is a strong and growing sentiment for a dlspensary. This is the proper so- luton of the liquor question as is viewed by possibly more of the business men of the town than any other settlement of the whisky question: and these men will wage a fight to have a dispensary established in Cullman county.
