Alabama Politicos Fight for Lives in Phenix City
Phenix City officials Sheriff H Ralph Matthews Jr and Russell County solicitor Aveh Ferrell faced orders to appear before the Alabama Democratic Executive Committee to justify why their nominations should not be voided amid a Russell County vote fraud probe.

The story also digresses into a historical note about Ellis Island and its immigration legacy, detailing its evolution from a fortress island into a 30 acre processing site and amid a century of mass arrivals and quota changes.
