MONTGOMERY PADUY TIHZS. THURSDAY: FEBRUARY J2, 1911 GENERAL FEfi NCISSO VILLA. CHtmoH rnti democracy BAYS THK HIPKKMK COURT. "Hi ITT COMMIHSION HOLDS ADJOURNED. MEETING AND CONSIDEas MANY MATTKRS Pi week resolution, which provides tor's clean-up campaign in Montgomery during the week of May 16-22, A young man who went to work In a bank said a good many years "I was surprised when I went into the bank to know how much attention was paid to tbe moral side of credit." His former view Is possibly shared by others who conceive of bank credit as based wholly on tangible assets.

It Is worthy ot notice that in the bank the expression is often used, "He's straight." It opens the way to much service to him about whom It Is said, an important part of which Is credit. That bank was the Bainolk CAPITAL SI.OOO.O.OO the expense of a double primary, pro-: vision being made for the expenses: of only one primary. According to the attorney-gener-1 all's ruuling, It Is presumed that the various- candidates will be called up-: on to bear the expenses of the second primary in those counties in which the majority plan will be followed. n-ra it MONTOOMEBY ONLY EXPENSES OF ONE PRIMARY PAID BY COUNTIES, SAYS ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Counties cannot pay the expenses of more than one primary.

A ruling to this effect has been made by Attorney-General Robert C. Brickell, In answer to a communication from J. P. Stiles, probate Judge of Jefferson county. The attorney-general held that section 5 of the election law of 19H does not authorize counties to bear Only One "BROMO QUININE," that Is fixative Bromo Quinine Cures Cold in One Day, Crip in 3 Days was adopted.

Commissioner Letcher introduced an ordinance which provides 'for 150,000 worth of bonds to pay" for paving and street improvement work done In Montgomery. The bonds sre to he of 5 per cent, and will mature in ten years. The ordinance lies over. An ordinance to appropriate for use in constructing sewers in West End was Introduced. Lies over.

Captain W. F. Lee, of the Montgomery Rides, appeared before the commission and requested that he be allowed to innko connections and Install a sanitary lavatory In the srm- I ory of the company on the third floor of the city ha'l. The request was taken under advisement A petition wra received that had for Its objec Mm removal of the coal hln of tho B'i'o Ribbon laundry, on North Hull strict. It was taken under advl'-ement.

A petition for the completion of the colored school on Grove street was received and filed. CLAl'D SHEPHEHU JUMPS HIS BONDSMEN. Claud Fhenherd. who was arrested several days ngo, charged with grand larcfeny, was fortunate and unfortunate as well, in tho neuro friends who went 0" his S300 bond fortunate in havine such good bondsmen, John-; tile Johnson being worth probably 1 0.000, srri Ed Hatcher, himself, being considered solid in this world's i gcds- unfortunnte, however. In an-1 other respect and thereby hangs the tale.

When Shepherd left the pure air I of liberty from jail confinement I breathed upon him, felt like stretch- In- himself and seeking other parts, 'which he proceeded to put into exe-! cution. His bondsmen were not made of the sort of stuff to let $300 slip from them in this way, and at once went In pursuit, thinking that I they would probably land their quar-i ry in Chicago. They were taking no chances this, however, and got off at Birmingham, end the first inquiry from a negro there gave the intelli-j gence that their man had secured a position about two blocks away. Shepherd was found pulling down the blinds and preparing to close up 1 for the night, and expected to strike for Chicago this morning. He was landed in a Birmingham prison for the night and brought back to Montgomery this morning, where he rests from his strenuous get-away in the county Jail.

A committee of fire Insurance men, led by L. Dowdell, made an argument for th9 elimination of Y.elic'en-y in the wiring and equipment in the business district. It va8 brought out that tho fire companies would rot only raise their rates ome 25 per but would begin the cancellation of insurance poli-les In the immediate future In the ovent the defects wee not remedied. Inspector Pierce, representing the companies," stated that since the warning that lights would be cut off if the defects were not remedied, insued by the commiss'on some tine ago. only about five per cent, had been improved.

HALF A MILLION WORKING TREASURY BALANCE CAUSES NO WORRY With a working balance in the state treasury of more than half a million dollars, and with a neat sum to the credit of the state auditor, there is little need of worry in regard to Alabama's finances.

The auditor's balance was $50,591.45, and the outstanding warrant account was $509,460.02. Funds have teen pouring Into the treasury during the past few weeks, and the state has been able to meet all of its obligations with little difficulty. The treasury will be in good condition until June or July, probably, when the' finances usually go to a low ebb. However, there will be plenty of money on hand for the next few months', and indications art-that the state will be in as good shape during the fall and -early winter months as at any time within the past few years.
