The New Primary Law,

There is considerable speculation
among candidates, where several aspire
for the same position, as to the effect of
the new primary law requiring an ex-
preston for both first and second choice
Will have" said Ernest Lacy, prom-
nent lawyer of Jasper, who was in Biz
mingham last night while the new
statute eliminates the necessity for a run
over election, it will in some cases cause
the selection of the candidate who ran
second, or even possibly third in the
matter of first choice votes. The re-
suits in the coming election will be
watched with great interest on account
of the changes in the primary laws en-
acted by the last legislature.
while there has been practically no
interest in politics yet there will prob
ably be large number of important de-
velopments Immediately after Christmas
There seems to be considerable interest
in the selection of delegates to the demo-
cratic national convention from the vari-
Gus districts and from the state at large.
In Walker county, A. ST. Fite is con-
sidered certain candidate from the
Sixth district, and although no other
names are prominently before the voters
yet, it is not impossible that others will
come forward after the holidays.
THE campaign for county offices has
already opened in Walker county where
four men are actively at work for the
probate judseshp with several more in
a waiting attitude. Candidates for the
other offices are in proportion to this
number and a really warm contest is
assured within the next few weeks

A Business Barometer.

Il was sorry to learn that the Taxi
cab and Touring Car company suspended
business said Henry Jenkins, who is
head of the Jenkins Taxfcab company.
THE Taxicab and Touring Car company
was the first taxi concern to do business
ir Birmingham Walter Robertson and
E. r. Minhinnett combined and for a
number of years they have had big
patronage
Since they have gone out of business
there remains only two concerns in the
city-the Jenkins Taxicab company and
the Whitman company. There is plenty
of room for both of us to prosper and |
believe we will be able to do a good bust
ness.
1.-The greatest barometer of the times
is the taxicab business. In the recent de-
preston throughout the United States the
taxi companies in New York and Chicago
were the first ones to fail. AS soon as
prosperity hit the country they were like
wise the first ones to feel the revived
spirit of good times and they prospered
accordingly. l am glad to say that our
business is better than 1t has been in a
number of years and l believe it will con-
tinue to stay good

Cy Williams can be put down as an
improved ball player. The long out

but he has been meeting the ball

ticeable feature of Williams batting
is the fact that he has overcome the
tendency to go digging for low curves
on the inside of the plate, brand of
twister that was impossible for him
last season.
Now Cy waits for the ball to come
over, and sooner or later he will be-

War Taxes
Are Heavy

Beyrout, Aug. 10.-With cereals and
foodstuffs scarce and the Turkish off,
cials exacting every possible cent out
of the people for war taxes, Syria is
in a bad way. But this is not all.
The country is becoming as dry as a
desert, and the lines of communica.
ton between different parts of the
country have been almost all stopped
by the military.
AT Beyrout ITSELF the schools are
closed with the exception of the
American Protestant college, which,
owing to the neutrality of the United
States and tho diplomacy of it's presi-
dent, DR.. Bliss, has continued to work
peacefully. Three of the professors
of the medical department of the COL

ADDING MEN TO
!. POLICE FORCE

Panama, Aug. 9.-Many new po-
licemen are daily being added to the
already numerous Policia Nacional Of
the Republic Of Panama. Three
months ago the national police are
reported to have numbered about
1000 men and officers while today
the number of officers and men has
reached 1900. ta
The national police already costs
the republic more than $1,250,OO gold
a year and much opposition has been
heard In many quarters to the recent
heavy increase which greatly adds to
the expense. Many of the new Off
GERS and men are to be stationed in
the two cities of Panama and Colon.
It Is declared In government circles
that the new men are being added in
anticipation of the presidential and
national assembly election next year.
II Is pointed out that they will be
needed to preserve order and assure
fair election at what is looked for
ward to as the bitterest campaign in
the republics history. 1t is also
stated that the new policemen are
being enrolled so that interference to

PARDON GRANTED
TO IRA CRAY
Emergency Pardon Board Takes
Action on Petitions for
Pardon.
Pardon

At a meeting of the emergency par
don board, held this week in the office
OF the governor, a pardon was granted
to Ira Cray, a we'll known Mckenzie
county farmer, who has been confined
in the state %penitentiary since July,
1913.
Cray was sent up from Mckenzie
county two years ago on a charge OF
grand larceny. The case was tried at
Williston, and when a verdict of gull
ty was returned, it created consider.
able excitement in the county. The
conviction was returned wholly on
cirtumstantial evidence. Cray was
charged with stealing a load of flax.
Previous to that time he had borne an
enviable reputation in the community
and was fairly prosperous.
Evidence in the case was of a most
peculiar nature, the whole situation
resting on whether the team attack
ed to the load of fax was shod or I'm.
shod. 1t was never thoroughly inves.
tigated, and consequently a verdict
Of guilty was returned against Cray.
An appeal was made for a new trial,
but this was denied. An appeal was
made from the decision, but in the
meantime Cray's attorney died.
Since the trial a number of the most
important witnesses for the state have
become convinced that there was more
than a reasonable doubt as to Cray's
guilt, even the complaining witness
stating that he was not at all sure
that Cray was the guilty party.
The petition to the emergency par
don board was signed by several hun
dred residents Of the locality, in
which Cray resided, and in addition
30 letters were written by the most
prominent people in the section, ex-
pressing the opinion that they did not
Believe him guilty.
The emergency board passed on the
petition, and ordered that Cray be re.
leased from the p%enitentiary at once.

RENDER DECISION IN
GRAND FORKS CASE
Temporary Injunction Restraints
School Board From Building
New School.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 9.--Judge
G. A. Pollock has granted the TEN
porary Injunction asked by certain
citizens Of Grand Forks to restrain
the board Of education OF that city
and contractors from erecting a new
sos, 900 school building. 1t is stated
that many citizens Of the city did
not want the building erected On the
site selected by the board and that
the injunction was asked because
the board used funds which. 1t Is al,

appropriate. . stai2 "HttA II 81 al
