their surveyor make the map and write his own certificate. All that was there- fore left for the judge of probate to do was to paste the map in a map book and collect his fee of 15 cents hundred words and cents a lot. Wasn't that profit enough for the judge?
 say again, was not that profit enough to the judge of probate in the map depart ment of his office? Fifteen cents for each one hundred words and cents for the ex- pense of pasting the prepared maps in the map books. Could he not have well afford ed to let Jefferson county's tax-ridden peo- pie keep the $500 that he claims was "rea- sonable compensation" to him for hiring man to recopy the maps for the filing and recording of which he had already been so handsomely paid in fees by the owners of the land.
 Now, to go a little farther: Judge Por- ter refers, in his defense of the transaction, to section 1866 of the code. Let us see what that section provides. Here it is
 Section 1866. Recopy of Books.-The Judge Of probate, deeming it necessary to re-copy or rebind any books in his office, in order to secure their contents from dam- age or loss, must submit the same to the examination of the court of county com missioners, which, if it deems such re- binding or recopy necessary must upon its minutes order the same to be made; and the judge of probate must make the same In good and substantial books or binding, and such court must allow him a reasona- ble compensation therefor"
 Mark the words of the law, brother tax payers: And such court must allow him reasonable compensation therefor."
 Now. who fixed the reasonable compen- sation" in this particular map transaction Did the commissioners fix 1t, as the law provides? No. Judge Porter alone and for himself, fixed it. He fixed it when he told George Chambers, through his chief clerk, Stiles: "I must have one-third of what the commissioners allow for the work" He fixed it with himself, by him. self and for himself!
 The commissioners were not fin it."
 The people were not fin it."
 Some of the more ardent friends of Judge Porter's son-in-law, MT Styles, may insist that this map transaction should not be charged against him, to his detriment in this campaign, on the ground that he only carried out Judge Parter's instructions and wishes in the matter
 Possibly so. But the discriminating mind of the taxpayers of the county will con- ceive the idea that a man reared under in- f1uences that beget such definitions of reasonable compensation" is not, by his ten years training, capacitated to be an economical investment to the taxpayers of the county.

COL. E. |. HIeDoa,
The Business Mems Representative for the
 Legislature.

"Col. D. L. Higdon Is the best candidate for the legislature I have heard of among the twenty or more that have announced themselves,'' said a prominent business man to an Age-Herald reporter yesterday.
 "Col. Higdon is not a politician and he is not running for office in the usual sense of the word. But he is @ thorough business man and man of plenty of common sense. A man that can look on political and pub lie questions in a business-like, sensible way. He is also a man who hasn't the slightest hesitation about expressing him self on these questions and he is equally fearless in backing up his opinions to the best of his ability. He has demonstrated his character as a positive and determined man by the high military position he now holds. As a democrat his record is abso- lutely without a taint.
 "Col. Higdon never thought of running for office and it was only after the puSl- ness men of the city met and united upon him that he could be induced to run at all We think that the business men of the country are entitled to a representative in the legislature. They never have had one, so far as I know while in fact the business men are the heaviest tax and license pay CTS the city and state have. A representa- tive of the business men will not be an- tagonistic to any of the other interests Of the county, any more so than the labor representatives, the mining representatives or the numerous legal representatives which Jefferson county has We want man in the legislature who, when ques- ton affecting the business interests of the state or of Birmingham Is brought up, will he informed on the subject and can advise the legislators as to what would pc pest for the business interests of the state. As I have said, we have heretofore had no such representative in the legislature and I don't know of a man who would fill the bill better than Col. D. L. Higdon, and think the county convention will recosni1e this fact when Jefferson's six legislators are nominated"

Tax Payer" Comes Again.

To The Age-Herald:
 What has become of Judge Porter and his chief clerk, MT. J. P. Stiles, since the amiable judge fired the big gun in defence of the map transaction? Did they use all their ammunition in exploding that one discharge?
 To a man up tree it looks as though the gentlemen have said just enough to '.bring one more talk.' Why don't they explain their explanation?
 Under the act of 1888, to which the judge refers, he is allowed 15 cents for each 100 words and cents for each lot on the maps which are filed and recorded in his office This law, however, explicitly pro- vides that the owners of the land shall pay these fees for filing and recording the maps Not one word of that act intimates that the county should pay the fees.
 As a matter of fact, every map which has been filed and recorded in the probate office, under the provisions of the act of 1888; has been filed and recorded at the ex- pense of the owners of the land. The judge of probate had already gotten his pay h fees for that work from the owners of the land. The owners of the land not only paid the fees, but in probably every instance they, at their own expense. had

Old Southern Leaguer an Easy
 Mark Yesterday.
YIELDED TWEYTY-THREEH HITS
While Seven Safe Ones Were Made Of the Reds Two Pitchers, Streator and Wil- Iig-The Athletic Club
 This Afternoon.

Petty's lambs were led to the Reds sac- rificial altar yesterday afternoon, and after 1t was all over with none of the amateurs were able to tell just how it happened.
 But to an outsider it was evident that the main reason for the picked hines down. fall was Petty's poor box work. Haller's hitters slugged Smiling Charley for IS safe singles. two-baggers and three-base hits. LaPorte, who, by the way, is one of the best Southern league catchers who ever wore mitt, went to the bat five times and got an equal number of hits. two of them being good for two sacks.
 All of the Reds played an excellent game. The sore arms and Charley horses" have almost disappeared, and right now they are in a condition to put up stiff game against Tom Burns Colts. Frank 2kaalfsf played a pretty game -a.44t first, accepting thirteen cnaD1ces without error. He also swiped the sphere for three good clean hits, one of them being for three bases.
 Streeter pitched good ball for the six innings, in which he performed and used his head as well as his arm.
 Handsome little Willig went in the sev- enth inning, and as he saw that the op- posing side was composed exclusively of good things" he did not exert himself to any great extent
 Of course, LaPorte caught well. He al- ways does and the fans do not expect any, thing else of him. For the amateurs Mc- Eachin did the receiving act to the satis- faction of all, and 1t was evident that his work was extremely gratifying to himself.
 Despite McEachin's excellent throwing to bases. the Reds managed to pilfer seven sacks.
 Buster" Burke, the amateurs crack first baseman, failed to connect with the sphere with his accustomed regularity, but played his usual steady game at first.
 Jack Curran umpired the contest, and his work gave general satisfaction. About 200 rooters were present, and most of them being extraordinarily sound lunged yelled in unison as any sensational play was male.

BASE BALL GOSSIP

Montgomery slides to second base while executing a steal like he was diving off a wharf When he gets about ten feet from the bag he raises his wings in a manner somewhat similar as did Darius Green when he first tried his flying machine, and then dives for the sack.
 The rooters are already betting that Chicago will not do for Birmingham what she did for Atlanta and Augusta.
 Speaking of sliding every one of the Reds seem to be well up on this particular &C., complishment, although Midget Montgom- cry has so far carried off the palm
 If any one of the local pitchers can sue ceed in striking out Little Eva" Lange, of Chicago, the keys of the city will thereupon be turned over to him and brass band placed at his disposal.
 Manager Haler has had his twirlcrs practicing to locate the plate and they can all split the rubber wide open with remark able regularity.
 With veitch, Gilligan, Montgomery and Haller Birmingham has snappy infield Sheehan and VtLlendorf have so far given satisfaction in the outield and Dick Knox is expected to hold up his good record.
 In every game Haller's system training is bearing good fruit. The boys are get ting so they understand each other.
 The fans should turn out in force now. The Reds have shown what they can do and the mana cement should be encouraged. winig and Posner are the handsome pitchers Streator and switzer are & little 1auky but they can pitch.
 Willig has plenty of speed and there is never any tagging when he is in the box.
 Posner the southpaw will have a record for making base runners hug the bag.
 The management of the Birmingham xeam is pleased with the work of Manager

Haller and more than all he has won the praise of every one who has attended a game.
 "We are all pleased with Haller." said one of the high officials yesterday. we have left the question of players and play ing entirely to him and he has given re- markable satisfaction. He has signed good set of men. They are all sober, hard workers and every inch gentlemen.
 Gyrating, Gesticulating Gilligan made some remarkable stops and good throws yesterday. He has a "cinch" with the fans.
 'I'l tell you when veitch gets his hands on ball and a chance to throw to first it is all oyer," remarked an enthusiast yesterday.
 With LaPorte to throw to second and Montgomery there to handle the ball the base stealing record of some of the south ern leaguers will be materially decreased. Have you noticed that the outer garden at West End park was just like net" remarked fan after the game yesterday. You had just as well dump the sphere in- to sack as to knock it anywhere near Sheehan or Vallendorf and I believe Dick Knox will be the same way.
 Everybody is pleased with the Reds They can't win all the games, but they will do well.
 The Reds believe they can hold better hand with Chicago than did Montgomery. The following is the lineup of the ath- letic club which will play the Reds this afternoon: Hart and Riddle, pitchers; Fletcher, catcher; Brophy, first base; Mor- ris, second base; Donovan, third base; DOna l0SOp left fa1d.
