De Valera's supporters argued that
Only one vote each should be allowed
and the debate was becoming very
acrimonious when Collins waived any
claim to two votes. The deputy
speaker gave a ruling allowing only
one.
The net result of the vote is two
fold. The country will have an OPP
portunity of influencing the various
representatives between nov and
January 3, and such portions OF the
country as are doubtful may, it is
expected by some, be influenced in
favor of the treaty by the impression
that the figures represent a vote in
it's favor.
When the question was put, it was
Immediately seen that de Valera, Frs
kline Childers, Austin Stack, Charles
Burgess and their active supporters,
all desired to keep the Dali sitting,
while Arthur Griffith, Michael Col
Inns, canon J. Duggan, Prof. John
MacNeill and advocates of the treaty
were equally anxious to afford an op-
portunity to all members for d breath
ing space of intercourse with their
constituents, who, as admitted
throughout the debates, largely sup
port the treaty.
The division followed almost, but
not quite, strict party lines, for there
were some members who looked sole
ly to the question of convenience.
When the final decision is actually
taken, the members may be much
cloesr than the adjournment figures
indicate.

LONDON, Dec. o. According to
dispatch to the Press Association
from Dublin, extraordinary scenes oc
Cured in the Dali over the adjourn

Griffith to the length of Mary Mac
Swiney's, speech brought Miss Mac
Swiney to her feet with fearful re-
mark: '.For IA days, | sat through

Another incident occurred when
the Countess Markiewicz referred to
Michael Collins as having faced Pre-
mier Lloyd George night after night
until Collins was worn out and weary.
To this, according to the Press Asso-
citation, Collins retorted:

ENNIS, ireland. Dec. 22.-(By the
Associated Press)-The Clare county
council, the constituency of cannon
de Valera. today voted II to for the
treaty between Ireland and Great
Britain, and requected de Valera to
use his Influence for the maintenance
of the national unity.
The resolution admitted that there
were grave objections to the treaty,
but declared there was no rational al
tentative to its acceptance.
Rejection of the treaty" the reso-
luton added, would be almost GER
tain to involve Us in a war-of annihila
ton, because our people will be di-
vided, and because world opinion, in
stead of being with us, as at present,
will be against u.s.

change but that ultimately Countess
Markiewicz apologized to Collins.

 Corn Meal Packages

Dealers in corn meal fin Birmins- ham will be permitted to sell this commodity in five-pound bags until October l, under an order issued by J. M. Moore, supervisor of the food, feed and drug division of the depart ment of agriculture. Thursday. The action was taken because of the large number of five-pound bags on hand.
 Beginning July 1. all other towns in Alabama will be required to put up corn meal in 12. 24. 4s, s6 and c. pounds net. Dealers in Birmingham must comply with the regulations beginning July 1, except in regard to the five-pound bags.
 MT Moore's ruling follows: To Millers. Packers, Shippers and
 Dealers in Corn Meal:
 The sale of five-pound bags of corn meal may continue in the city of Birmingham until October l. 1921.
 This decision has been reached after an investigation of the amount of five pound bags held in stock by the millers of the Birmingham dis trict, and after considering the fact that this five-pound bag had come to be generally used on the Birmtng- ham market.
 Throughout Alabama beginning July 1, corn meal will be sold, ex- clusive1y, in net weight barrels of 96, or 19s pounds, and in bags of t2. 24. 4s, 96 and pounds net; except for the city of Birmingham, where the flve-pound bags may be sold un- til october 1, 1921. Respectfully

 The hope hns been advanced that with the decision oI the county to accept taxes from cor porntiens on the old basis with certain reservations that the county board of education will he nbie to obtain enough money to pay the city boards the money due them.
 Members of the three city boards represented advanced the theory that this would be the only immediate way out of nm otherwise serious situation, unique In civic and county gov ernment annals.

Besse- mer, Fairfield and Brighton, suit will he filed in circuit court In the next few days by these muni- cipalities. This action was de- cided upon yesterday afternoon by representatives of the school boards of these cities.
 The money deducted under the fee authority goes into the gener- nI fund of the county. thus di- vertinE money originally intend cd for strictly educational Pur- poses, the cities argue.
 The money thus diverted by the county amounts to several thOus- and dollars yearly. To obtain this money for school purposes, the suit will be flied by tho four municipalities. Refund of money already paid out under this act will he sought If the suit is won 1t Is understood

sdlu MT. COpelanQ ana we now naVs S3,000.000 worth of bonds which we have been unable to sell. The only plan whereby the county can dispose of these bonds is to resubmit them to the voters of the county and in- stead of carving per cent interest as they now do have the rate of in- terest at per cent.
 We have discussed various ways and means seeking a plan for the sale of the bonds but the plan just mentioned seems the only solution to there is no possibility of any road work being done until the bond mar ket has recovered sufficiently to en- able the county to dispose of the bonds at par.
 Another thing to be considered is the fact that if the building pro- gramme of the board could be car ried out employment would be given to a large number of men as the board had planned to construct S2,- 000,000 worth of roads on this years programme. In addition to giving the people of Jefferson county good roads we would be killing two birds with one stone and would give er'- ployment to many men as well.
 "Practically all road work on last years programme has been completed and nothing in the way of road con, struction Is being done. After talk ing to a number of citizens I am or the opinion that the only thing to do is to submit the bond issue with greater rate of interest and continue our road programme"
