 THE .AGE-HERALD Alha nu.Dacnfur Alb luna A

If Judge w. T. Lowe of the Nor gan county court should leave the county how would officers get a warrant for a defendant charged with a misdemeanor? So far they haven't found the answer.
 As result of the decision of the Alabama supreme court this week holding that justices of the peace did not have the authority to issue warrants in anything except felony cases Morgan is left so far as attor- neys are able to discover with but one source of warrants for misde- meanors, that source being the Nor gan county court.
 Because of the unusual situation existing in the county as a result of the courts interpretation of the law creating the county court, notice was given today of intention to re- quest the next legislature to remedy the matter by permitting the clerk of the circuit court to issue warrants returnable to the county court.

Contagious Goodness.

Overcome evil with good.-Romans, KILL
Wrestle with chimney sweep and
you will need a bath. Throw back
the mud that is thrown at you, and
you will have dirty hands.
No, the best way to fight against
evil is not to meet it on its own
ground with its own weapons. There
is a nobler method of warfare. Cover
come evil with good" That is the
secret of the battle of life.
The way to counteract and con-
quer evil in the world is to give our
own hearts to the dominion of good,
and work the works Of God while it
is day..
The strongest of all obstacles to
the advance of evil is a clean and
generous man. doing his duty from
day to day. and winning others, by
his cheerful fidelity, to serve the
same master.
Diseases are not the only things
that are contagious. Courage is con-
tagious. Kindness is contagious All
the positive virtues, with red blood
in their veins, are contagious.
The heaviest blow that you can
strike, at the kingdom of evil is just
to follow the advice which the dying
Sir Walter Scott gave to his son-in.
law. Lockhart: BE a good man"
And II you want to know how,
there Is but one perfect and supreme
example-the life of Him who not
only did no evil, but went about doing
good.
