Our Bob's Pardon Mill.

If Gov. Taylor had a year
or two more than he has to
grind his highly efficient par
don mill, the Legislature
could sell the new peniten-
tiary and state coal mine, and
use the money to pay off the
loan, made to defray expen=
SEES; and the counties might
abandon their work houses,
and sell their jails. Then we
could cut down expenses, by
reducing the list of judges.
What is the sense in going to
the trouble and expense of
catching, convicting and SEN
fencing criminals, only to
have them turned loose at the
other end ofthe line? These
processes are not ''funny"
enough to justify the outlay
they impose on the people.
Let us stop the farce, one way
or another, either by abolish
ing the court or by locking
the wheel of the pardon ma
chine. Chattanooga Times.

Longest Fence in the World.

The longest fence in the
world is probably that which
has just been finished by the
Erie Cattle Company along
the Mexican border. 1t is
seventy-five miles in length,
and separates exactly for its
entire distance the two re-
publics of North America.
The fence was built to keep
the cattle from running across
the border and falling easy
pray to the Mexican cow
punchers. Although it cost a
great deal of money, it is es-
timated that cattle enough
will be saved in one year to
more than pay for it. 1t is a
barbed-wire fence with mes
quite and cottonwood poles,
and for the entire length oft
runs as straight as the crow

The Hon. James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture, says
in his report to the President,
"the farmer must be taught to
think" Thus another great
work confronts a paternaI
government, and it is filled
with dangerous possibilities
because by the time the hon
orable Secretary succeeds in
teaching the farmer to think,
he may think that the Agri-

Special to The Aga -Heeald.
 Montgomery, Sept. 2O.--Assistant Ex- amfner Foster has found another former tax assessor almost $9,4OO short in his settlements with the state and county. MT. Hugh J. Stephenson. of Colbert, is the unfortunate. but, according to the special report. his delinquency appears to be the result of an accident rather; than of deliberate intention to wrong the state. He is now arranging to pay i the state the full amount he is due. It win take his home and all that he pos .sezses to pay up, 1t Is stated, but he promises that the state shall not lose. cent by him. The following is Examiner Fosters report. dated Tuscumbia, Sept. 15:
 Under your instructions I have made careful exam. nation of the books and accounts elf Mr. Hugh J. Stephenson, ex- tax collector of Colbert county, Ala bams, from the beginning to the end of his term of office, and while find him considerably short in his settlements, both with the state and county, I desire in justice to him 10 state in the outset thaf believe him to be strictly honest, and an uprigh, conscientious gentleman. He materially assisted me in this ex- aminat tion, and the errors with which he is chargeable occurred, 50 far as I have been able to ascertain, through mo intentional fault of his. At the same time he hos collected this money and is justly due the state and county the amount which I shall specify below.
 The examination shows that In 1892, by some oversight, either of the out going or incoming judge of probate, the ''assessor's escapes for that year were not reported to the auditor, and con- sequently MT. Stephenson was not charged with this tax. It also shows that in 1893 several pages of the assess ment book were omitted from the final sum up, or recapitulation of this book, hence Mir Stephenson was not charged with the taxes contained on these pages. I find after charging him with all these errors and omissions, with interest to date, and deducting his commissions, that he is due the state the sum of $1,- S55.29, and the county of Colbert the sum of s1, ,53S.97, all of which is more fully set cut in exhibit "A" and made part of this report
 MT. Stephenson staes under oath that after having settled with the state and county for taxes collected during one or two years (the exact years he does not remember), and paying all that was charged against him, he was under the impression that he had more money left than he thought was justly his, and so stated to the auditor and numerous friends in this county. He further states that his accounts were rechecked at his request in the auditors office ito ascer- tain, if possible, if he did not owe more than was charged against him. Of course nothing came out of this, because the auditor had no data except that furnished him by the probate judge.
 All of which is certified and respect fully submitted

A KNOCKOUT BLOW.
The Secretary of State Writes the Attorney
 General to Enforce Insurance Law.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Sept. 2O.--The secretary of state, who is under the law the ex- offieio insurance commissioner for Ala bama, by insisting on the enforcement of the insurance law passed by the last legislature, dealt perhaps Knockout blow to the mutual life and accident in- surance companies of the state today.
 In an official communication to Hon. wm. Fitts. attorney-general. he writes as follows:
 "As provided in Sec. 5 of the act to Alabama,' approved Feb. IS, 1897, hereby apply through you, to a court of competent jurisdiction. for injunctions restraining the following mutual aid as- sociations from further proceeding with their business in this state
 "The Southern Mutual Aid association of Birmingham.
 'The Union Central Indemnity asso- ciation, of Birmingham.
 'The Afro-Ameriean Benevolent asso- clauon, Of Birmingham.
 "The American Mutual Aid associa- tion, of Birmingham.
 "The Mobile Stock and Benefit com- pany, of Mobile.
 "The Union Mutual Benefit associa- ton, of Birmingham.
 ''The National Aid association, of Montgomery.
 The National Sick and Accident as- sociation, of Huntsville.
 This application is made because said associations are engaged in life in- surance in this state without having complied with Sec 14 of said act which provides, That evsry life insurance com- pany doing business in Alabama, char tered by the laws of this state, shall be required. for better protection of the policy holders, to keep at all times the sum of $1O00Oo invested in bonds, se- curities or mortgages on real estate for double the amount loaned.'"
 The communication is signed by J. K. Jackson secretary of state.
 10. P. Roberts, who has immediate charge of the insurance business in the office of the secretary of state, explains that the complaint of the secretary is that these companies undertake to do a life insurance business in connection with their accident business, which. as is evident, is contrary to the provisions of the law. All accident companies which were doing business at the time of the passage of the law are expressly authorized to continue in the accident business, but they must not write life insurance policies until they have com piled with the law regarding life con- panies.
 The mutual fire companies chartered d by this state are not affected by the provisions of the law. They must, how ever, govern themselves by all of the provisions of the insurance statute ex- cepting as to the $10OO0O deposit with the auditor.

This is about the fourth runaway that has occurred on Main street during the past few weeks, and they are becoming a nuisance to the citizens.
