i ton of instruments is not germane to the | matter pertaining to the establishing by I county officers of branch offices in that t | part of the county, and hence 1t is thought l that the title to the act in question con l tains more than one subject and for this reason 1t may be invalid. Ham vs. state. l 156 Alabama 656; Lucas case, 119 Alabama | POP. Furthermore, there is no intima- l ton in the title of the act of any require ment for the holding of probate court and | sessions of the board of revenue at Besse- | mer. and yet the body of the act provides for both.
 1 Tt is also a matter of grave doubt as to whether or not the act under consid- 1 eration is a local law and therefore in
 violation of section 1O4. subdivision Il of the constitution of 1901. The supreme court has held that the effect of legis,a- | tion rather than the language determines whether or not a law is local law or general law. The act under considera- tion cannot in reality apply to any other county than Jefferson, for there is no other county in the state having a popula | tion of 15o,000 which has two places where l the circuit court convenes and holds ses- sions. It cannot be said that other coun- l ties may have such population and may have such courts, the answer to which iB 1 that they could not have such courts un- I less by aid of an act of the legislature. | u iS lHOuSHl tlldt lHeTe are tWO OT Inr6e countries in the state besides Jefferson where the circuit court holds court oth CT than at the county seat, and if it can be | said that when counties have 150,000 pop
 u,ation that the law will apply to them, l 1t still would not make it other than a local law, for it will not apply to aI of the counties of the state without addi- tional legislation creating such courts in all of the counties of the state whenever ! they shall have 150,000 population. It is submitted that the act in question is of such doubtful validity that a warrant is- l sued for records, papers and equipment of county officers at Bessemer would be contested when presented to the treas urer for payment, and if upon such con- | test the act in question should fall as being in violation of the constitutional | provisions above enumerated; then mer- 1 chants who furnished such records and equipment will suffer quite a pecuniary 1 loss, and for this reason and other good reasons not necessary to enumerate, il would be well for the board to decline the | acquisitions for the same. Respectfully l submitted w. K TERRY
 l Attorney for the Board of Revenue. September 30, 1915."

 She spoke the "gawspel truth" as the darkeys say, because she is really one of the expertest housekeepers and buyers and providers that I have ever known. She can make one dollar go further than anybody else can make two go, and whether her purchase is Parisian bon net or a porterhouse steak, 1t seems as if she gets the value of her money, plus, which is saying a good deal. Good taste and sound judgment are also important factors in her success, but the basis of her admirable achievements .s that she pays "cash' for everything she buys and personally selects what st.e buys, as well.
 The immense convenience of the teie- phone and the habit of paying monthly or weekly for foods purchased, has had an enormous effect in aeroplaning the cost of living and undermining the stand

Of Very Funny Thing On The

Billy Speas, former Mansfield star

the Portland Coast league club, tells
what he considers the funniest thing
he has ever seen on a ball field, and
strange to relate, two major league
players have mentioned this same in
cident as the funniest thing they ever
saw. Here's the story:

Bill, "but I've got several clippings
to prove it. 1t happened in 1906 in

Bailey, the old-time Columbus pitch
er, was doing the twirling for us. Our
opponents had us beaten about 40 to
0, when one Of them caught hold Of
one and slammed it down the right
field foul line. The umpire threw in
another ball and he knocked 1t foul
again. Then he slammed one at me
in left and, after breaking by neck
to keep from 1t from rolling into the
next state, l got it and threw it in to
the plate. Only it hit the grandstand
instead. Well, in the meantime the
fielders had recovered the foul balls
and the shortstop had one running a
man down between second and third
and the second baseman had the 9th

first and second. The catcher was
chasing the ball l threw in. 1t look

right one. But that didn't change
the fact that there we're three balls
all in play at one time"
