CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Advocates of a constitutional eonven-
 tion also are expected to be present. It is stated that the present constitution prevents the fullest development of the |states natural resources and retards the industrial and commercial growth of the state Modification of the franchise laws is urged by a large number of voters and the women who have been clamoring for the vote will make a strong appeal to the legislature to take necessary steps for their enfranchisement
 Mobile and Birmingham will probably ask for a constitutional amendment, if one is found to be necessary, that will enable the state or counties and cities to extend aid take control of river ter minal and wharfage facilities, and to build and control or give financial aid tc steam or electric transportation lines that
 will connect industrial and trade centers
 with water navigation.
 Other matters that are expected to come before the legislators at the meeting to- day and which they will be urged to sup port relate to the reform in court pro- cedure, venereal disease control and treat ment, and number of other subjects.

protection, a sum, he contends, entirely
 inadequate to meet the legitimate eX-
 penses of city of Birmingham's size and
 importance. With the county and city
 limits co-extensive all of the revenues
 derived from taxation would be expended
 within the city, thus providing a much larger sum than is available under exist
 ing conditions.
 There will be strong opposition to any division of the county, either for the pur- pose of setting up a separate county for Birmingham or for the accommodation of Bessemer. It is argued by those op- posed to these movements that Jefferson county now has the largest population, with possibly one exception, in the south, and wealth in proportion; that by reason of these facts she is one of the most im- portant political units in the south, and that the wishes and preferences of a part of the people should not be permitted to take from her this commanding position.

JUDGE LLOYD TATE . 0N CRIMINAL BENCH
Supernumerary State Judge Presiding for Judge lief
 lin in Second Division

Judge Lloyd Tate, state supernumerary judge, is presiding over the second divi- sion of the criminal court in the absence of Judge Hefin, who has been ill for sev- eral days Judge Heflin's condition was reported improved yesterday afternoon. Owing to the disseminating of court for some weeks caused by influenza, illness of the judges, holidays and other causes, unusual heavy dockets confront the judges of the several divisions of the court, both criminal and civil.
 Robert Bennett, charged with buying, receiving and concealing stolen property, was tried in the second division of the criminal court before Judge Tate yester- day afternoon and fined $50 and sen fenced to serve six months at hard la bor
 E. A. Brooks was fined $50 and given a suspended sentence by Judge Tate yes terday, when he was found guilty of vio- lating the prohibition laws. Brooks was arrested sometime ago and it is alleged that quantity of whisky was found 1T his possession.

A large gathering of citizens is anticl- pated and it Is probable that several measures of more or less importance to
 the people of Jefferson county will be
 discussed One of the matters to come
 up, it is understood. is that or a ne"
 county with boundaries co-extensive with
 the boundaries of the city of Birming- ham. For sometime past there has been agitation along this line by persons who contend that Birmingham does not get the equivalent in public improvements and civic necessities for the amount or taxes paid.
 For 20 years or more the people of Bes- semer and that end of the county have fought for a separate county with besse- mer as the county seat, but they have al ways met with defeat when the matter came to a vote They are understood to l he prepared to renew the fight before the legislature at it's session, which bglns next Monday.
 | With Birmingham demanding to be put | into a county by herself and Bessemer fighting for a separate county, 1t IS not
 without the possibilities that Jefferson
 may be cut up before the legislative ses- ! sion ends Whether the members or the
 Jefferson county delegation favor such ac-
 ton is not known, and, according to the
 understanding at the time the open meet | ing was arranged for today, they Will not | commit themselves on thls or any otner proposition at this time

UNITED STATES POST OFFICE
BUILDING COMPLETED and THROWN OPEN TO The
PUBLIC LAST week.

A brass cannon, a relic Of the
Spanish-American war. one of two
allotted to the state, also through the
efforts Of Senator Bradley, now lies
neglected on the public square; the
Treasury department, which has sup
ervision over all Federal buildings
and grounds. has granted permission
for this cannon to be mounted on the
grounds; the City Council has agreed
to transport and mount it, but the
cannon is not yet moved. and we very
much fear that unless something is
soon done in the matter that the war
department will learn to which base
uses this valuable relic is being put,
and will order it elsewhere. Some
one should get busy.
The new building and grounds cost
in the neighborhood Of $4,000. The
purchase price for the lot was $1,000,
and already $4,000 has been en-
pended in the erection Of the build
ing, and the furniture and equipment
will bring the cost well up toward the
above mentioned figure. The gov
eminent, in such matters as the cree
tion Of public buildings, of necessity
moves slowly; Congress must he
waited upon for the appropriation,
then after this is made, each build
ing must await its turn. and the mon
ey, as was the case with our building
was not available for several years.
After the contract was awarded to
A. ". Lane of Chicago, and ground
was broken, the war broke out. bust
ness was paralyzed and transportation
was almost impossible, so we may
count ourselves lucky indeed to have
the building even at this time.
Mr.. W y. Brady. the Government
representative in charge of the CON
struction of the building, is entitled
to great deal of credit for solidity
Of the structure and the beauty of the
surroundings; he has had entire sup
ervision Of this work and has seen to
it that the specifications were never
in the least deviated from. Mr..
Brady has charge of a large scope of
territory in this vicinity and will
make his headquarters in Lancaster
indefinitely, and has moved his fam
lily here. Mr.. Frank Franzen is the
superintendent in charge of construc-
ton.
Lancaster is unpretentious, we do
not claim to be the best town on the
map, but we do say, and not in a
spirit Of braggadocio, that we have
graded school in Lancaster, and a
system Of consolidated and high
high schools in Garrard county sec
