County viii Obey Govern
Or's Instructions, But
Exum Says City Will
Ignore Expected
Order

The state government will about the
middle of this month instruct county Of
ficials to remove shackles from the legs
of convicts Similar instructions will be
delivered to the municipal authorities of
Birmingham.
The officials of Jefferson county will
obey the instructions. The city of Bir-
mingham will not.
1t is the opinion of the members of
the board of revenue and the attorney of
the board, William K. Terry. that should
the state enforce its rules that the con-
victs of this county now employed on
the roads. be permitted to work without
shackles 1t would become simultaneously
necessary on the part of the county to
abandon its present policy, and return the
convicts to the mines. The city takes
the position that the governor has no
authority to interfere with municipal af-
fairs.
