court reversed the decision of the lower court and returned the case to Jeffer- son county for another trial. The suit was started by Alex E. Walker, former state superintendent of banks. On his retirement, it was continued by D. F Green, his successor. MT. Green has since retired, and H. H. Montgomery has inherited the suit as the represen- tative of the state. Harsh has resisted the payment of the note, contending that the date was changed and that the paper was not an asset of the bank at the time it's doors were closed.
 In another case from Jefferson coun- ty the supreme court reversed the case of the Birmingham News versus Her man Andrews. Andrews, who con tended that he was IS years old, recov. cred a judgment for 5000 for injuries received in the press room of the news paper. He alleged that the newspaper violated the child labor law by em- ploying him in it's plant. The supreme court said newspaper plants did not come within the inhibition of the law relating to the employment of children
 Eleven other decisions were handed down by the court during the day preparatory to the first call of divisions for the new term which will be taken up the first Monday in November. All were in cases of local importance.
