consideration other than on the

When such pasture becomes eaten
down to the very soil the sod must
necessarily become thin. IL. through

the roots must become also thin and

becomes SO thin that the total pro-

suppose that this would mean a great

Special Dispatch to the Age-Herad.
 Montgomery, July 12.-There appears now to be no doubt that the Alabama ne- gro regiment will be in camp of instruction near Mobile. One of the battalions is al- ready there and has been for a month, and several of the companies organized under the second call have been sent down. Montgomery has already furnished two companies to the regiment and another Is expected to be completed by next Thurs day. All of the Alabama negro mnsnies will be offcered by white men and men of high standing at home. Governor John ston has .iot given out any announcement of tie appointment of regimental officers for the negro regiment. It has been un- derstood that a West Pointer would be made colonel of it, although the friends of Major w. W. Brandon of the Second Ala bama volunteers are hopeful that Gover- nor Johnston may remember him in this connection.

SElMA'S FIRST VETERAN"
Or ire Hispano- American War is Capt. Lasslter
 Seriously Wounded.
Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Selma, July 12.-selma today harbcrs her first veteran of the Hispano-Americo war. He is Captain E. T. Lassiter, of the Twelfth regular cavalry, and he is seriously if not critically wounded.
 Captain Lassiter was among the first to receive the casualties of war, having been wounded in an attempt to land an expedi- tion in Cuba as far back June : and which proving unsuccessful has been kept as much from the public as possible.
 It will be remembered that an expedition left Key West about the first of June and was heralded abroad in the newspapers. Through this means the Spaniards were mo- tified of the intention to land expedi- tion and met the Americans as they tried to land with a whitening volley causing much loss and many casualties. It was the notice of the departure of this expedi- tion that caused the censorship to be es- tablished.
 On the morning of the 7th of June the at tempt was made to land on the northern coast of Cuba the Twenty-fifth infantry d.senbarked first, followed by the Tenth Eighth and Twelfth cavalry. In this lat ter was Company I, of which II. T. Lassi- ter was captain. In the desperate brush Captain Lassiter received the wound with which he is suffering. The ball struck him in the left hip and ranged upward almost to the chest, where 1t lodged and now is. He reached Key West a few days after being wounded and there remained until Friday .week ago, when he started for his old home in Selma, where his brother W. IL Lassiter. lives.
 He arrived here yesterday evening and went immediately out to his brothers home There he was soon by an Age-Her- aid representative this morning. He said he could not give any details of the fight ing as he was an officer in the army and not allowed to talk.
 Captain Lassiter left Selma about nine years ago, going to Washington Territory Four years ago he entered the United States atrmy and a. year afterward was promoted to the captaincy of Company 1. He is now about 40 years old lut is well remembered by quite a number of our citi-

 ON THE CAMPAIGN
Tax Commission Law

From the Ashland Standard.
 The tax commission law has, since it's en- actment, brought into the state and county treasuries more than $1S0,000 and 1t has only been in force but little more than a year. This, too, has come from property that has been escaping taxation. For the most part it has been property belonging to large corporations who were able to hide their property from the tax assessor. This is one of the most beneficial revenue laws ever placed on the statute books of Ala bama. It looks aftr the accounts of all public officials

Interests of Common People

From the Ashland Standard.
 It is said that "only -one-third of the property of the state is returned for taxa ton. Two-thirds of the visible property of the state shirks taxation" Governor Johnston has already increased the states revenues $235 900 annually from this source, and stands pledged to continue the reform. The rate, of taxation has remained the same. Governor Johnston is certainly look ing after the interests of the people. This from the property of large corporations, who have been escaping taxation. The com mon people of Alabama recognize in John ston a sound and safe business governor.
