JEFFERSON COUNTY TAX NOTICE.

The Birmingham Stake Herald of Sun day contains nearly four pages of tax adver,tislngthe largest notice iof the kind that Alata ma has seen in years. An examination shows hat fully three fouIilhs of 1t is of property asssssed to "Ownsr UnknoW1h"
 Of course. this is relict of the boom period in Birmingham and Jefferson coun ty But it looks as if all property aban- doned by it's owners should have devel- oped several years age. and that it would have been discovered by the assessors year by year in the past, that it would have been advertised and bought in py outsiders or the state long before now. Such an avalanche of it at this late day is remarkable development.
 It looks as if some official or officials charged with 6Mtiss in tax matters had rot done their duty in the past, or else that some of them were showing remark able energy a the present. The result in any everft is sure to be tremendous bill of costs to the state. not cnly for the advertising which our contemporary is so fortunate as to get, but also for fees for various officers in conducting the aafa and certifying its results to the stal,e audhtcr.
 While the governor is so solicttous about the conduct of the tax officials of Mobile county as to call upon the probate judge to Nacate the tax collectors office there it mig'h be we'll for him to luoiS into
 
 about to be fixed on the state fr-um his own couri:y of Jefferson It is likely that much of that "owner unknown" property has been bought in by ,he stata in pre- vious tax sales, and that it is due to the oversight of s-lne5cdy in keeping up the records properly tha. Il is now being ad- vegtissd again.--Montgome Adver iser
 The State Herald would again respect fully call the Advertisers attention to thc.tlack of hanging proving detriment- al to the moral forces in Calhoun county before entering into discussion or the above There is about as much sense in the. logic here adduced IS in the Calhoun hanging case championed by this great state paper. The purpose of the back tax law Is to locate the escaped taxable property and the officers in Jefferson have not been derelict ill their duty. What former officers have done is aD- other matter. If these officers through out the state had dons their full duty in the premises possibly there would be no bacl. tax law today. However as above stated. that Is mot now a debatable quesI tion. In the meantime we again urge the Advertiser to keep quiet and net get nervous until the auditor makes his re- port, and we believe that the collections, both assessed and escaped, under the in- fluence of the back tax law will enable the next legislature to reduce the tax rate nearly half of what 1t now is.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur- pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine. and as such it Is not liable to any form or disease except by one or two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from care less local treatment of other diseases.
 CHIEF CAUSE.
 Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys Is the chief cause of bladder troub- les and suffering so painful to many that life is made miserable. The womb like the bladder was created for one purpose, and If left alone it is not liable to become diseased, except in rare eases. When in position the womb Is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or inconVen- bladder or urinary passage is often by mis take, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by paying a little attention 10 the condition of the urine (see pampn- leD.

THE ATLANTA coNsTTUTIoN.


 The Atlanta Constitution says 'ft is for free coinage-yes, stronger than ever," and that when it modlfes its position in this line, it will be when "another editor Is responsible for its political conduct" This was in answer to certain criticisms made on the paper. that, by reason of cer- tain changes amongst its stockholders, there was danger of it's changing its pol icy on the currency question
 We have not a single doubt that the able editor of the Cons sdtuticn me ans what he says If there ever comes time when the Constitution modifies its posi- ton on the currency question, there will be some editor in charge of the paper other than Clarke Howell But, if the controlling amount of the stock of the Constitution is held by an advocate of the gold standard, as we are informed it is, we fear the time will come when this influence will exert Itself in shaping the policy of the paper ito such extent as to force ths resigna ton of MT Clark How ell as was done in the case of E. W. Ca4mack, the able editor of the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 But whether this may ever come to pass or not .ihe work done by the Constitu- ton on behalf of frse coinage can never be wiped out. The democratic party is SD thoroughly organized that the advo- cates of the gold standard can acquire all the papers of the country, and yet not win. Recently Carter Harrison carried the city of Chicago, receiving majority over all the other candidates, yet having only one little. afternoon newspaper on his side, while all i.he great newspapers of the city were against him because he was a follower of Bryan.

LIVELY WEEK IN wEDoWEE.

-LIN EL1 w EEh IN W EDOW EII.
 This has been rather a lively week in Wedowee. The exact location of the new court house has been the principal topic discussed. At first, there were almost as many opinions as to the proper place to put it as there were citizens; but, when MT. J. w. Stewart came to the front and offered to donate to the county the beautiful lot just beyond his resi- dence, and 1t was ascertained that the commissioners were inclined to consider the liberal offer favorably, it had the effect to bring down town" business men together and soon they were practi- cally united in favor of the plaza, about midway between the site of the old court house and the jail. This site was ac- cordingly selected by the commissioners yesterday, and MT McPherson and MT Young laid it off and broke ground for the foundation.-Ran Toiler

ANOTHER BANK.

There have bean rumors of another bank here. That it is needed no one will deny. We need one or two more strong banks. Competition is the life of trade fin banking as in oth=r commercial pur- suits That splendid institution, the City NatOnal, would be greatly benefited by another bank. 'Twould relieve it Of mary accounts that 1t has not solicited. Again the City National is not a poor mans bank. Ons must have one hun dre1 dollars to begin business with that Institution, nsade necessary by it's large business.
 Of enc thing we may be sure, this city will never. grow and prosper as it ought to until we have thrse or four ba nks.

Music

What is it: 1t IS the gleeful
speech Of the winds as they frolic
in the woods. 1t is their minor
lay as they wantonly play hide
and seek about the creyices Of the
old house. 1t is their weird
warning whistle as they sport
through the taut cordage OF the
ships ut sea. God strings his
EoIian Tyre where he pleases and
then rams his enharmOnic melo-
discs at his Divine pleasure.
What is il? It IS the tremu-
lous laughter Of the waters as
they jostle each other in the shall
low brook. 1t is the smoothly
flowing current whose melody is
buried pianiSSimO in the great
depths Of its rocky bed. 1t is the
fortissimo of the ever pouring
cataract as it precipltates itself
into the seething waters below.
SO the melody OF his voice in Pat
mos was as the sound of MANY
waters.
What is it: 1t is the Rhythmic
swish and WASH of the sea as it
