 It costs considerably more to become a member of the stock exchange nowadays than in the days when its headquarters were at 'Old Jonathan's." on Cornhill Serving for four years as a stock broker E clerk reduces the cost, but an outsider has to pay an entrance fee of 500 guineas and to find three members who for en- suing four years will be responsible for the sum of G500 apiece, this being for feitable ir the event of the new member being hammered" during the period Tn addition, the candidate must buy three stock exchange shares. the present price of which is about s190 per share, and he must purchase from some retiring mem- Der a nomination. This can now be bought for about f7o. although when nominations were first created the tor price was $700.

In addition to these it is also said that Pelham D. Brown, for 12 years chief clerk of the probate office, will also make the race for probate judge.
 It is not thought that Tax Collector s. D. McGee, who has held the office for number of years, will have oppo- sition, bue that remains to be seen. Judge Henry B. Foster Is almost sure to be a candidate to succeed himself as county judge, and as the salary of this posi- tion has just been raised by the legis- lature, it Is possible that he. too, will have opposition. A number of prospec- tive candidates and their friends are al- ready at work, and the coming year promises to be a lively one in Tuscaloosa county from a political standpoint.
