BlRMINGHAM'S MARDl GRAS
The Prospects for It Are Very Bright-The Commercial Club Appoints Com
 mittee to Co-0perate

A few days ago the German Turnve- rein society of this city decided to inaug- urate a movement for a mardi gras car nival next February. In order to inter- est a larger element of the population a committee was appointed to go before the Commercial club and urge the coop ration of that body in the movement. This was done the regular monthly meet ing of the club last Friday. The presi- dent was instructed to appoint such committee as requested. Yesterday he named the committee, which is as fol- lows: T. L. McGowan, Simon Klotz, Oli- yer Chalifoux. W. G. Estes and James Roy.
 This committee requests the Turnve% rein committee to meet them in the Com mercial club rooms at 10 o'clock this morning.
 The Turnverein committee has already been at work and accomplished much to- wards securing the necessary funds for defraying expenses. The merchants man. ifest considerable interest in the matter and from the present outlook the carni- val will be great success.

 Strikes.
 "The year 1895 has been noted for the large number of small or local. rather than large, prolonged strikes. The most plea sing feature of the contests of this character between employer and em- ployed was the uniform success met with in the way of obtaining higher wages and improved conditions of employment.
 New Constitution Needed.
 ''The constitutional of the national and many of the state governments stands today as a monument to the past great ness and grandnesS of our country. IneSe constitutions were made and adopted TOT the purpose of protecting men and meth ods now dead They are not suited Tor the changed industrial conditions and improved mental status of the present time: hence if the modern environments of labor are to be ameliorated by legisla- tion in keeping with the progress or our people along commercial and industrlai lines, it might be well to turn our atten- ton to the cutting away of these consul tutional barriers which invalidate legls- lation enacted in the peoples interests
 The following committee on credentlais al was announced by the president: T. J El- derkin, l.. F. Tracey. J. c. Dernell, D' r. Rowland, William Mailly.
 ', The convention then took recess un- til o'clock in order to give the com mittee time to prepare its report. Ihere were only one or two contesting delega- Sfions. lF.
 z Upon the reassembling of the conven- tion the committee on credentials report led in favor of seating eighty-three del egates, and that there were six protests Tor the consideration of which they asked further time. The report was accepted The chairman announced the commit tees, after which he read his annual re- port.
 :. It is in large part embodied in Pres ident McBride's address. The reports of the secretary and treasurer show that during the year there was spent for the defense of miners and other unions, for the defense of .Debs. the lecturing tour of Burns, Holmes, etc., $3467. The re- ceipts for the year were SIS, ,493; expenses, $15,612, leaving a balance on hand Octo- Der 31 1895, of $3S31. The secretary says: While we cannot report any great appar- ent gains in the field of labor during the past year. the agitation and education that is progressing along economic lines is particularly noticeable.

TENNESSEE. VIRGINIA BOUNDARY.
Decree 20 Have 1t Re-Ru Denied by
the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, May 24-The su.
preme court OF the United States has
denied the application of the State of
Virginia for a decree to have the
boundary line between that State and
Tennessee re-run for the purpose OF
restoring the marking, The denial is
not based upou any lndisposition to
grant the request, as both States unite
in making it, but because the bill was
filed during the term of 1898, and the
court finds that it can not act at the
present term on the bill filed in a
previous term. There has been more
or less dispute between the States as to
this line, but the court in 1893 con-
firmed the line established by the com.
pact of 1903, 1t will now be impos-
-ible to do anything to secure the
restoration Of the marks until the
neat term.

NEW ASSESSMENT LAW.
1t does Not Take Snap Judgment on
DelinUuents.


The Chattanooga Times few days
ago published an article under sensa'
tional headlines to the effect that the
new assessment law took snap judg-
ment on the people. Itquotes "a we'll
known Citizen" either a myth or a
fool, as saying "that, without warning
the privilege OF paying their taxes be-
fore they go into the hands of the
back tax attorney is virtually denied
the delinquents; also that the back
tax attorney, although he may not be
responsi ible for the law, will reap big
fees from those who thought they had
plenty Of time to pay their taxes before
the additional cost for collection by
the back tax attorney was imposed"
There was considerable other misin-
formation equally as misleading.
In order to getat the facts an Amer.
icam reporter yesterday asked Mr..
Leon Trousdale, chief clerk in the
comptroller's Office, to make state
ment, and in reply received the follow.
ing;
"TEe tax books are placed in the
hands of the trustees on the first Of
October each year, and the tax payers
have from that date until the first
Tuesday in February to pay taxes
without cost or penalty. The present
legislature, by resolution, extended
this time to the first of April. Then
all taxes unpaid on that date were
placed in the hands of constables with
interest, penalties and costs added.
Under the old assessment law the
constables were require d to make re-
turns to the trustee the first Monday
in June, and the new law requires
that they make returns the third
Monday in May, making difference
of only twoweeks. The lists are ther
made out, placed in the hands OF back
tax attorneys the first Monday il
June, at which time he advertises al
delinquencies placed in his hands
When the list goes to his hands the
fees of constable and trustee, which
under the old law followed the taxes
do not follow in the new law, making
considerable difference TO the ia,
payer. Hence, if the tax payer, whel
the attorney first advertises, goes u
and pays his taxes, he really pays les
costs than he would if he paid th
constable. The constables seem to b
the ones doing the kicking. In fac
the only complaints as to the new :
filed in this Office come exclusive
from trustees and constables. ."-NaSI
