HUTSON SEEKS TO
GET FEES DUE HIM
Morgan Solicitor Files Mandamus
Proceedings Against Circuit
Court Clerk

Decatur. July 9.-(special. )-County So
ficitor Melvin Hutson has brought man
damus proceedings against the circuit
court clerk to collect the sum of $500 which
Mr.. Hutson claims is due him for So
licitor fees
Under the state law county solicitor is
entitled to $500 a year in fees, if the fees
amount to that much. Mr.. Hutson took
the office November 1, 1912. Up to January
1, 1918, his fees amounted to $40O, which
he drew.
The clerk of the court contends that Mr..
Hutson is only entitled to $500 up to No
MEMBER 1, 1913. His fees will amount to
considerably more than this amount.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hutson contends
that the $40O which ne received last year
should not be counted on this years sal
ary. An opinion of the attorney general
comedies with Mr.. Illusions contentious.
The court clerk refuses TO pay the
amount and the case will be decided by
the supreme court as a test case.

cool change, especially at Montgomery,
where the highest during the day was 102

Birmingham's

men realize that dispensaries are In
many particulars more important than
hospitals. Hospitals rarely deal with
the incipient stake of disease. That
is done far more frequently by the
dispensary; and the community profits
far more by this bud -nipping process
in dispensaries than by the palliation
of advanced disease in hospital wards
Moreover, many people are treated In
dfspensaries whose ailments do not
qualify them for hospital service. DR..
Richard c. Cabot of Boston put the
matter strongly when he said: The
dispensary. then, hits the problem OF
disease at three most vital points
where the wards cannot:
Il. 1t rots out foci of disease In
families or neighborhoods, following
home the clues presented in the per-
son of the dispensary patient and so
preventing disease.
"'2. 1t checks disease in its incip-
iency.
80. 1t deals with chronic cases and
keeps the patients from relapsing into
a discouraged and vegetative exis-
tence'
"The university free dispensary has
been rendering great service to Bir-
mingham-indeed, far greater service
than Birmingham fully comprehends
1t is today serving substantially 1000
people each month. One-fourth of the
cases treated are medical one fourth
surgical, and one-half are about equal
ly distributed among the following de-
partments-d) ear, nose and throat
CD, eye; (3), diseases of children; (4)
diseases of women (5). diseases OF
men.
'"fhe numbers demanding dispensary
service have been increasing at the
rate of from 10 to Is per cent each
month There is at this time a great
oyercrowding. Indeed, the available
space cannot adequately accommodate
one-half the patients now clamoring
for help.
These simple facts present a great
need and great opportunity. | be-
lieve that the heart of Birmingham will
respond, and that the need will be
met. The higher life of the city is
on trial. If it has the money to
erect great banking houses and ho-
tells, and office buildings. surely it has
the money to answer this call of hr
manity to erect a modest structure tc
relieve human suffering and to protect
human society l bid you godspeed
In this great task. 1t may test your
patience and energy and enthusiasm
and faith, but the men who devote
themselves to it cannot fail to read
the uplift of thought that comes of al
lance with a large truth and just
cause. Yours very sincerely,
