CAMPBELL & CHRISTIAN.

Mail and Breeze: We have read Of
Maud on a summer day, who raked,
barefOoted, the new mOwn hay, we
have read of the maid in tbs early
morn, who MIXED the COW with the
crumpled horn, and we've read the
lays that the poets sing, of the rust
ling corn and the flowers of spring,
but of all the lays of tongue or pen,
there's naught like the lay of the
Kansas hen. Long, long before Maud
raked the hay, the Kan sas hen began
to lay, and ere the milkmaid stirs a
peg, the hen is up and has dropped
her egg; the corn must rustic and
flowers spring if they hold their own
with the barnyard ring. If Maud is
needing a hat and gown, she doesn't
hustle her hay to town; she goes TO
the store and obtains her suit with
basket full of her fresh hen fruit; if the
miIkmaid's beau makes Sunday call,
she doesn't feed him on milk at all,
but works up eggs in custard pie
and stuffs him full of chicken fry;
and when the old man wants horn,
does he take the druggist a load Of
corn ? Not much He simply robs
nest and to town he gOes-yOu know
the rest. He fingers there and he
talks, perchance, of true reform and
correct fee-nance, while his poor wife
STAYS at home and scowls, but is saved
from want by those self-same fowls;
for while her husband fingers
there. she watches the cackling hens
with care and gathers eggs, and eggs
she'll hide, till she saves enough 70
stem the tide. Then hail, all hail, to
the Kansas hen; the greatest blessing
of all to menI Throw up your hats
and make Rome howl for the per-
severing barnyard fowl! Corn may
be king, but it's plainly seen the Kan
sas hen is the Kansas Queen.

and when the confederate states ceceded
it was incorporated in the prayer book OF
the Episcopal church, south, to pray for
the president of the confederacy.
After the fall of the confederacy and
the furling of the conquered banner at
Appomattox, no convention of the Epis-
copal church, south, had been held to
change the wording of the prayer book
from the president of the confederacy
to President of the United States, so
Bishop Wilmer kept on praying for the
president of the confederate states.
There was garrison of federal soldiers
in Mobile at the time and they warned
him that it was treason to pray for the
president of the confederacy, but he told
them that 1t was in the Episcopal prayer
book and until it was changed Jeff Davis
was president and he would continue to
pray for him.
Bishop Wilmer was put under arrest,
but was not imprisoned. He maintained
his allegiance to his church and country
up to the last and although 1t gave him
a great deal of annoyance by the inter-
ference of federal soldiers, he continued
to pray for the president of the confed-
eracy until a, convention was held, chang
ing the prayer book back to the president
of the United States.
The above incident was given US by
Col. Geo. Peacock, and shows of what
sturdy, rugged stuff Bishop Wilmer Is
made.

ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION


The most Interesting discussion of the
session took place Tuesday in the house
on the bill to provide for the more eff
Client assessment and collection eff taxes.
This bill has received the unanimous In
dorsement both of the joint finance COM
mittee, which sat during the recess, and
the committee on ways and means of the
house. Indeed, Mr.. Meader, the chair
man of the latter committee, said in his
speech to the house that in ten years
service in the house this was the best
and most practical bill concerning taxa
ton which had been presented.
The bill provides for tax commission
ers to be appointed by the approval of
the Governor, to assess property which
escapes the assessor, to compel persons
who are required by law to do SO, to take
out licenses, and to aid in perfecting tax
titles. The commissioners have no new
or autocratic or inquisitorial powers, only
such as are now conferred on the tax
assessors and tax collectors. In fact, in
counties where. these officers perform
their duties there will be very little for
the commissioners to do. The powers of
commissioners are very carefully guard
ed. The bill was introduced about the
middle of the last session, and has been
carefully revised and corrected and linz
tied by both committees who have con-
sidered it, until it is perhaps the most
carefully and fully considered bill that
has been reported. Commissioners are
paid nothing by the state or counties,
but are paid a certain percentum on the
taxes they find.
Judge Mitchell, of Lauderdale, and Mr..
Meader, Of Marengo, made specially ef-
fective and convincing speeches for the
bill. They showed that millions of dol
lars escaped taxation; and that it was
either to take this bill or raise the rate
of taxation. In ten years the state has
had only three balances and seven de-
ficiencies; and the rate of taxation is now,
including the special levy for disabled
soldiers, higher than at any time within
that period. 1t was shown that possibly
the moral effect of this bill would be to
save enough taxes to pay the deficit and
reduce the rate of taxation.
Gov. Johnston suggested the policy out
lined in the bill in his first message. 1t
has received the support of every COM
mittee or body which has considered 1t,
and it will doubtless become wise and
efficient law

BURNS PARALLELS.

Our exchanges contain accounts of the
celebration of the birthday of Robert
Burns, which was observed in all parts
of the civilized world. If the roll call of
fame could be read at the beginning of
every century, how few of the eminent
men of the nineteenth century Will re-
spend at the beginning of the twentieth.
But the voice of Burns, hushed at the
close of the eighteenth century at the be-
ginning of the twentieth will respond
clear and unchallenged.
Starting at the same time in life with
Burns was the younger Pitt-born in the
higher circle of life, his name was hon
ored at home and feared abroad He be-
came the most successful diplomat of
Great Britain, the land of successful
diplomacy. His life runs parallel with
that of Burns. Pitt typifed the success
full diplomat, Burns represented the peo-
pie. Both were harassed with debt, both
died of broken heart. But the Pitt BAN
quets have long ago ceased, Pitt ami
versaries have been discontinued, Pitt
societies have been dissolved. While, on
the other hand, Burns banquets and
Burns societies are multiplying through
out the English-speaking world. But 1t
is not enough 10 Celebrate Tie duilNSi :
sary of his birth-the anniversary of his
death is also observed
Eight months before the death of
Burns, in Dumfrieshire, within a few
miles of the dying poets residence, there
was born the greatest intellectual giant
of the century-the inimitable Carlyle.
The reign of genius was to be perpetu-
ated in that shire.
Other parallels could be drawn to show
the greatness OF Burns, but this is
enough. Burns was a poet of nature-his
name will live while nature lives. He
was poet of nature in the most compre-
hensive sense. He reached down into the
depths of the human heart and touched
its deepest lines. In his works at least
conservative Scotia nd has found the Ian
guage to express it's hitherto hidden emo
lions. Wordsworth's prophetic vision of
the Federation of the World and the
Parliament of Man" was inspired by
Burns more expressive prophecy, in
which his poetic soul seemed to see the
presenh Englsh-American arbitration
treaty:
.'Then let us pray that come 1t may,
For come it will, for a that,
When sense and worth DER all the earth
Shall bear the gree, for a. that, ~
For a. that, and a that,
It's coming yet, for a that,
When man to man the world DER
Shall brithers be, for a that" a

INTO THE RIVER AT LAST.

Last Sunday afternoon horse attach
ed to buggy and driven by two negroes
became frightened and dashed down the
embankment at the north end of the
Florence bridge, overturning the buggy
and throwing the negroes out, and plung-
ed into the river, where buggy and horse
became lodged ona drift of logs, but after
fioundering while the horse became dis
lodged and swan with the buggy at
tached nearly to the shore below the
bridge where he again became frightened
by some one trying to grasp the lines.
and turning he swan to near the middle
of the north turn span of the bridge
where he broke loose from the buggy and
again made for shore which he gained in
safety. Fhe destination of the buggy is
unknown, as no clearance papers were
issued for 1t, and Capt Swartz says he's
not after filibusterers now.-Sheffield

an. agreement was reached recently
among the shippers not to send any
more coal to southern markets untia the
present stock is exhausted.
Some of the operators claim this
agreement was broken during the last
rise and that coal was sent south by
members of the pool. The operators now
say the mines will be started and a large
amount of coal sent out on the next
rise in the Ohio."-Pittsburg LEADER IN
The above seems to indicate the prin-
cipal reason why our Alabama coal bper-
ators have found the Mississippi valley
trade so hard to handle for some time
past, while at the same time the Pitts
burg people were selling coal there at a
considerable loss. 90

inferentiaIly made the mistake that they
instituted it. In a strict sense no one
lodge Institutes another. A commission
is issued by the grand chancellor OF the
state to some past chancellor of the or
der to institute a lodge at a certain place.
Under this commission the past chan
cellor so commissioned selects from the
members of the order either in his own
lodge or from any other lodge In the
state, sufficient number to assist him
in the institution, and at the time ap-
pointed the lodge Is instituted. In this
particular instance the commission was
issued to John A. liner, of st. Clair lodge.
He invited members of the various neigh
boring lodges to assist and to attend at
the institution of Spring Lake lodge.
Gadsden being near and accessible, a
goodly number of knights of the local
lodge went down. | wish to say right
here that our boys appreciated the in
vitation, that they had a royal good
time, that they hereby return thanks to
the good people of Springville for their
open handed hospitality, and to the Hon.
John A. liner for his kind invitation to
join in the institution. Incidentally I
might say that Past Chancellor liner
makes a model instituting officer We
assure our friends of st. Clair lodge that
it is source of sincere regret to us that
the mistake occurred, and trust that this
article will set us right with them as
well as in the eyes of the public.

A FORMAL NOTICE
Served Upon the Governor Recalls the
Days of Republican Misrule and
Reconstruction.

Montgomery Jan. 27-(Special)-R
construction days, and the republican re-
gime in Alabama, are recalled by for
NAL notice served on Governor Johnston
and other state afficials by the attorney
of John c. Stanton, the protector and
builder of the line of rail running from
the city of Chattanooga, Tenn, to and
beyond the city OF Birmingham, in this
state. This road secured, by certain
means, the Endorsement of the state to
large amount of bonds issued to aid in
its construction. 1t became involved in
litigation and was placed in the hands of
a receiver, the receiver being John HI.
Gindrat, of this city. Mr.. Stanton, in
1871 filed a suit in the chancery court
of Hamilton county, Tennessee, in Chat
tanooga, against the Alabama and Chat
tanooga Railroad company ct ais, and
obtained Judgment, to satisfy which
a levy was made on certain property of
the defendant corporation which was
found in the jurisdiction Of the Tennes-
see court. An injunction was also OBJ
tanned enjoining all defendants to the
complaint from selling or in any manner
disposing Of the property levied upon.
The property levied upon, the attorney
for Mr.. Stanton alleges, was worth $780,
900, and was turned over to the register
of the court in Chattanooga. He further

wards turned over to Mr.. John Gindrat
the receiver, on the execution by him of a
bond in the sum of 100000, which bond,
it is alleged. was signed by the said Gin
drat and Robert b. Lindsay as governor
of Alabama. 1t is further alleged that,
on December 8, 1875, the suit of the
state of Alabama against the Alabama
and Cha ttanooga railroad was dismissed,
and that the state of Alabama took moth
ing by its suit, and that no part of the
property attached was liable for its
claim, and that it was justly liable for
the satisfaction of the judgment of the
said Stanton. 1t is further alleged that
the court ordered Gindrat to make an ac-
count of his receivership SO far as this
property was concerned, which the said
Gildrat, it is alleged, failed to do. STAN
ton claims that his judgment amounted
to. on May 20, 1885, $34S, $685. which sum
Mr. Stanton, through his attorney, de-
mands from the state of Alabama, with
interest from the last named date.
The demand is dated Ballston Spa, Sar-

December Is, 1885, The notice and de-
mand is Endorsed served January 22

B1RM1NGHAM,s GREATNESS.

Birmingham, says the Financier, one of
New York's great journals, is the indus
trial center of the south. Why? Be-
cause of her great railroad lines, running
out, like from the hub of a wheel, in every
direction; her twenty-six great iron fur
naces: her more than million dollar
monthly payroll; her rolling mills, pipe
works, pump works, bolt and nut works,
engine and boiler works, stove works,
bicycle factories, brass foundries, cotton
mill, cotton seed mills, bridge works,
breweries, buggy and wagon factories,
structural iron works, cotton seed hull
ers factory, cigar factories, candy factor
les. cultivator works. cotton presses, fur
niture and mattress factories, planning
mills, trunk, wheelbarrow, bucket, bas-
ket and broom factories and foundries
and machine shops, and car wheel works.
Birmingham is also great because Of
her 5000 public spirited, go-ahead, broad
minded, ever enterprising populat ton.
which is augmented many thousands by
her suburban towns penetrated by her
splendid electric street railway system;
her unexcelled sanitary sewerage sys-
| tenn, water works, electric light and gas
| plants; her eighty-two churches, one cost
| ing more than $150,0OO; her magnificent
| business houses doing a business exceed
| ing $50, 10000 a year; her costly and
beautiful public buildings; her iron ore
minds of 2,250,000 tons out put, coal mines
| Of 1,S56,OO0 tons annual output. selling
| coal at zoe ton for manufacturing pur-
poses. These are some, only, of the
| things, says the Financier, which show
Birmingham's greatness, and foretell her
l wonderful future. rFF EttH

The state press is beginning to smell
a mouse about the condition of the State
university. For several weeks friends of
the institution have kept the Letter Box
column Of the State Herald hot with
communications. Editor Nunnelee, of
the Selma Times, who spent the greater
portion of his life in the Druid City. un-
der the very shadow of the university,
ought TO be pretty. we'll posted as to the
condition of affairs, and he takes occasion
in the last issue of his paper to remark:
'If Gov. Johnston succeeds in rehabil-
itating the State university he will have
done enough to hand his name down to
posterity. The legislature should act
wisely, firmly and put in the knife where
1t is needed. We think that old foggy
board of trustees is the main reason for
the decay of the university. Let them
resign and put in a board OF young men
under 50. and we will bet that thing will
move up"

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

There is much difference of opinion
as to the exact significance of the ireso-
luton adopted by the democratic state
executive committee at its recent meet
ing. Perhaps no one else is quite so
well qualified to Interpret them as the
distinguished author. The Montgomery
Journal had an interview with Hon. John
B. Knox, and that gentleman explained:
1.-The resolutions are in harmony and
consistent with those adopted by the
committee two years ago, with such hap
Ply results. They require that all persons
participating in democratic primaries or
mass meetings shall vote for the nom
inees of such primary or mass meetings"
When asked as to the intent and mean
ing of that clause requiring all persons
"to support the principles of the demo-
cratic party before they can become
qualified voters in democratic primaries
or mass meetings, he replied: 1.-THE
principles of the party as l understand
them are those enunoiated at the Chicago
democratic convention in 1896. That
convention gave out the last authorize
tive utterance and declaration on the
question. That declaration stands till
another convention shall change it, and,
of course, the resolutions of the commit
tee do not preclude person from going
into democratic primaries and trying to
have it set aside.''
