ANNISTON

Anniston. Octoger 9.-(Speciai. )-The vetoing of the recircuiting bill by Gov ernor Henderson seems to have stirred up the political situation in Calhoun county and despite the European war, the announcement of the engagement of President Wilson to Mrs. Norman Galt, a sister of Mrs. M K. Maury of this city. and the worlds series, the chief topic of conversation In Annis- ton is the political situation here.
 With the abolition of the city and ohancery courts. the judges of both these courts as we'll as the county solicitor have all been named as can- didates for different offices. These courts will be abolished after Janu- ary l. 1917, and the present occupants of these benches may be prevailed upon by their friends to enter the coming campaign for some office or other In fact, Judge T. w. Coleman, Jr, judge of the city court, is being strongly urged by his friends to make the race for probate judge. So far, Judge John Crook, the incumbent. and Judge S. w. Tate. city attorney, have announced themselves for this office and should Judge Coleman enter the race this will probably be one Of the bitterest fights in the coming campaign. All three of these men have a host of friends and should poll strong vote.
 Just what Dr. John w Abercrombfe. congressman- at-large. who says he was 'legislated" out. of office by bill which had its authorship in the Bank head family, will do is a matter of conjecture. It was at first thought that Abercrombie might make the race for congressman from the Fourth district against Congressman Fred L.. Black mon, but his friends have about given up the idea that he will run for this office and it is thought more than like ly that he will oppose Senator John H. Bankhead.

tpHtihtl WHICH lnc tlty Udu TtCtfitly tH- tered into with the water company, un- der the terms of which contract the city was, at the time, and is now, proceed ing to the acquisition of the plant by purchase. I opposed this bill because I believed 1t wrong in principle: and I op- posed 1t because believed that such leg saton would have the effect of driving from the state millions of money that might otherwise seek investment here. I opposed it for the further reason that I believed that no doubt ought ever to be raised in Alabama over the safety of capital once 1t has been invested here. The very claim made by the advocates of the measure that by its passage the property of the water company could be bought for $1,ooO,0oo less than It's ap- praised value, was to my mind the great est reason for it's defeat.
 I also opposed the bill which sought to take s6o,0o0 annually out of the county treasury and give it to the city of Bir- mingham. l could not support this bill for the reason that there is no authority under the constitution for using the tax of the city. If the county levies tax of seo,cOo a year more than 1t needs, it should reduce the rate of county taxa | ton. This act seemed to me to be a | plain circumvention of the constitution, which. whether right or wrong. fixes a | limit on the taxing power of cities. and another limit on the taxing power of counties. This limitation was | inserted in the constitution for the pro- tection Of the people, and plainly means that the city government must run on the revenues provided by that instrument | In~eonclusion, I desire to express my appreciation of the honor which was con- ferred upon me by the voters of Jeff iferson county. Whatever may be your | judgment on my record. I wish simply i to say that did my best to serve the i penple os my state and county. and to abide by the instructions of those who sent me to the legislature.
