TEACHER SUPPLY
 IS SUFFICIENT.

 Alabama Certif- ,, icateS
(State Capital Bureau.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 6.-It is announced by the state department of education that according to present indications, the supply of qualified teachers will be more than sufficient to fill all vacancies in the schools oi the state for the next term. This, il is stated, is condition which had mol prevailed in Alabama since the scarcity of teachers produced by the abnormal conditions of the World war.
 Information has been given out by the state department of education that 1874 persons applied for the several grades of Alabama teachers certificates at the examination held in all the coun ties of the state on July 21-23. These aplications, arranged by races of the applicants and grades of certificates applied were as follows:
 Life certificates, white 34; colored 1 total 325.
 First grade certificates, white S1 colored, 8; total S4.
 Second grade certificates, white 612 colored, 272; total S84.
 Third grade certificates, white 434 colored, 437; total 871.
 Totals, white 1,161; coiored 713 total 1874.
 Members of the examination group of the certification division are now busily engaged in checking the reports of county superintendents and in pass. ing upon the merits of the applicants, as judged by the papers submitted. Re ports to county superintendents and to individual applicants will be made from time to time within the next few weeks as rapily as may be consistent with accurate and efficient service. It is expected that many county superin- tendents will replinish their quotas of teachers from persons who wrote these examinations.
 Change Attracts Interest-A change in the Alabama law, relative to strik- ing of bill of exceptions, has been noted in the new code, and is said to be attracting considerable interest among members of the legal profes- sion.
 Section 3019 of the code of 1907 provided that bill of exceptions should be presented to the trial judge by the appellant within 90 days from date of judgment; and from date of presenta- ton the trial judge had 90 days to sign the bill as presented, failing in this, the bill of exceptions would be stricken on motion of counsel, or ex nero motu, on its own motion, by the court.
 Section 6433 of the new. code which becomes law August 17, provides that bills of exceptions must be presented either to the trial judge or the clerk within 90 days from date of judgment and the judge has only 60 days in which to sign it. However, Section 6434 of the new code, provides that the appellate court may strike bill of exceptions, because not presented or signed within the, required time, only on motion of a party to the case. Under this provision by consent of parties the bill of exception need not be stricken, even though the time limit for present ing and signing had not been compiled with.
 No Action Taken-Gov. W. W. Brandon has taken no action in the case of two Russell county negroes, Alonzo Myhand and Porter Myhand, sentenced to hang at Scale Friday. The negroes were convicted for the murder of a negro man and his wife, under particularly brutal circum- stances, and are said to have confessed.
