TIE COLLATERAL INHERITANCE TAX.
From The Piainneld Press.

Considerably more than $500 900 has thus Ear been
netted TO this State from the collateral inheritance
tax established In 1892 and the receipts are likely 10
continue at the rate OF more than 100000 year.
The law under which this large sum has been turned
into the state treasury provides that when person
dies leaving an estate worth more than $500 per
cent OF its appraised value shall be paid over TO the
State except whore the property goes TO any OF the
following relatives: Father mother. husband WIFE,

The Julia TuiWiler Annex.

Whatever the University of Alabama has been in the past the recent step that 1t has taken in regard to the annex for young women has met one of the great issues of the day and placed Alabama conspicuously abreast on the woman question.
 < The university, as is well known, opened its doors three years ago to young women and the announcement the past week that the annex would be opened in October has conferred great honor upon the young womanhood of Alabama, and reflects a glory upon the university.
 The annex, which is to be used as the dormitory, is the building which Alabam- ians who are familiar with the university campus will recall as the residence of the quartermaster, and it will accommodate twenty young women comfortably.
 This movement on the part of the uni- versity authorities, as all Alabama knows, Is the result of Miss Julia s. Tutwilers un- Tagging interest and ceaseless labor for the girlhood of the state. It was Miss Tut wiler who first emphasized the value of co-educaton in Alabama, and it is to her untring energy that the horizon has wid- ened for Alabama's young womanhood.
