Lr IS proposed in Florida 70 annex
Me western part of the state to Ala
bama. The territory involved lies
along the north shore of the gulf of
Mexico, and its annexation would ex-
tend Alabama to the gulf and give it
200 more miles of coast. The people of
western Florida are more closely allied
socially and politically to the Alabam-
ans than to the people of the PENN
sula, and the change, it is believed,
would be advantageous to both states.

Refuse to Paw a Tax Levy.

A big lawsuit is brewing between the
state of Alabama and the Central Rail.
road of Georgia. The state levies tax
sn the property of the various railroads
running into the state. in this way rails
ing an amount sufficient to pay the
salaries of the railroad commission,
amounting to $4,000. In raising this
sum the railroads are assessed accord.
ing 10 the taxable value of their prop
erty. The money SO raised is paid into
the state treasury, as other revenues.
The commissioners are paid di.
rectly from the treasury, and not
from the special fund. an appro.
priation being made by the legislature
to pay them just as other state officials
are paid. The Central railroad OF
Georgia, through Comptroller Edward
McIntyr, has notified State Auditor
Hogue that the company, acting under
advice of its attorneys, has refused to
pay the tax levied for this year, unless
ordered to do so by the courts, holding
that the state has no right to impose it.
Auditor Hogue replied, giving the COM
pany notice that unless the tax is paid
promptly he will enter suit on behalf OF
the state. A law suit will doubtless be
the result.

the Cumberland river. About three
years ago this experiment was tried on
a small scale and found successful. We

Grapes have a dual medical quality
which is almost unknown in this
country. As a matter of fact, nature
has provided in the grape a sovereign
remedy for all minor Heterogeneous
of the stomach. In northern and
central Italy, when the bowels be-
come lax, the natives eat quantities
of grapes, including the skin. When
they need a slight purgative they eat
a number of grapes, discarding the
skins and only using the flesh. The
fannie acid contained in the skins is
sufficiently astringent to arrest in
cipient dysentery.
