ACTION TAKEN YESTERDAY
Persons, Baggage and Freight Gan Now
 Enter Without Restriction.
MONTGOMERY IS STILL AFRAID
Notwithstanding Substantial Frost Has Fallen There, the Citizens Are Unwilling for Embargo Against
 Mississippi to be Removed.

Montgomery, Ala, october 19-(Special)- The quarantine restrictions have been lifted from all points in the northern half of the state or north of a line drawn east and west across the state and passing through Caera. Heavy frosts have fallen all over that territory, and the governor, upon tho advice of the state board of health, has re- moved all embargoes. Persons, baggage and freights can therefore come into north efn Alabama from all points.
 Frosts have been reported from many portions of the southern half of the state, but 1t is not considered to be entirely safe to open the southern half to refugees from the infected districts.
 It was last night one year ago that the health authorities 'hrst acknowledged that yellow fever existed in Montgomery, and after that time several hundred cases de- velped. The public here is therefore not in- clined to have the quarantine removed, not withstadlng that Montgomery has been vis- ited recently by substantial frost.

 Agreeable to your instructions, I have made d thorough examination of the books, papers and accounts of MT. J. w. Cox, clerk of the circuit court of Pickens county, from the beginning of his term of office to July 1, 1S9S
 find that MT. Cox has collected and fail ed to report and pay into the state treas- ury, solicitors fees amounting to $102.84, commissions having been deducted and in- terest to date added.
 MT. Cox states under oath, that most of these fees were earned during the term of his predecessor, but subsequently, paid to him, and in making his reports to the audi tor he only checked the books back to the beginning of his own work, hence these items were overlooked.
 further find that Mr. Cox collected and failed to pay over to the sheriff (whose duty it is to remit to the state treasurer) two removal bills, which, with interest to date, amounts to $5S.O2. MT Cox states that in some way he overlooked the fact that these two items had ben collected.
 The investigation further shows that in all cases of conviction, when defendants with sureties confessed judgment for fine and costs, Mr. Cox failed to tax up and issue execution for their feed bills am satisfied that most of these items could have been collected, and have charged them to hin--all of which are fully set out in ex- hibit c, hereto attached, and amount to SS5.20.
 Mir. Cox states under oath, in reference to this, that he did not tax up feed bills in cases of this kind because he had under stood that it was not a legal charge against defendants sureties.
