",ybat I Have Done"

Governor Johnston: "The charge is now
 made tliat I am bringing too much capital
 to the state. They say am bringing capi-
 tai her and opening up mines and starting
 furnace; and mills, and that I ought not
 to have done it at all. When l am elected
 to the United States senate I will do all
 I can to bring capital to Birmingham and the state, and I don't care where it comes from The result is wages are higher than
 ever before. Why? Because money has been brought here and mines opened and furnaces started and demand for labor
 created. The prediction was made when I went into office that the state would be ruined but the fact is more miles of
 railroad have been built and more indus tres are in operation than ever before. When I went into office state bonds were selling at 1O2; now they are selling at 112.
 There were outstanding against the state treasury $200,000 of 6 per cent. notes. I
 thought might be forced to borrow some money, and wrote to New York to ascer- tain if I could do so at per cent. tele- graphic answer came back that I could, but I didn't have to borrow. I knew when I took charge of the office there would be complaint so I asked the legislature to ap- point committee to investigate the con- dition of the state treasury. I wanted an inventory taken then, and intend to have another one taken before I go out of office. didn't want to leave it to the politicians, the newspapers and the liars. There was then deficit of $56SOO0. Some said this was a mistake"

How to Handle Deficits

The governor here took up the question of paying the deficit, saying there were but two ways to do it; one was by increas- ing the taxes, and the other to hold down expenses and compel every man to pay according to what he had, He said he adopted the latter plan. The tax commits sion, he said, was created, and under its operations the rich corporations were forced to pay their share of the taxes. He said he did not oppose the corporations, but that the trouble was so many of them wanted to dodge the payment of taxes He said that under the operation of the tax commission law the $56S0 900 deficit had been wiped out and that on March 2S, 1900, the state treasury contained $1,137,1 .S7, compared with s2O5. .23S:53 on the corre- spending date in 1S96 CT difference in fa- vor of his administration of $931, 773.
 He branded the statement that he held back money due the public schools and the old, soldiers as lie, and said the deficit that existed when he went into office was wiped out, first by the collection of es- caped taxes, and second by forcing de- faulters to disgorge, and third, by an eco- nomical operation of the convict bureau. He said when he went into office the con- vict bureau was in debt to the state to the amount of $30,000, but that this debt had been paid and that the bureau was now paying into the treasury $70O00 a year.
 He referred to the defaulters he had com pe1ed to pay up and said they were all now for Senator Morgan. He said that he intended to recommend that the next leg islatire reduce the rate of taxation by one third
 Increased salaries
 {, Abiding to the charges that he had in- creased the. salaries of state officials and created new offices, he produced a list of figures, from which he read, and which, he claimef, proved that for every increase in salary or new cfnce created additional revenue several times the amount of the increased expenses had gone into the state treasury. He said the tax commissioner, who received a salary of $2400 per year, had put s30, 100000 of property on the tax books and had brought into the treasury $500,000 in good money. Summing up, he said that the increase in tax receipts from Jefferson county on account of the tax commission and the examination of books of officials would pay years salary of all

SOUTH AFRICAN BOY CHOIR

SOUTH AFRICAN BOY CHOIR
Which will appear at the First
Presbyterian church Wednesday
evening, promises to be one of the
most novel and interesting enter
tainments of the year. Mr.. Banner,
who has been in Africa for years, has
trained five native boys, who, singly
and collectively, sing in a remarka-
BILE manner. They sing in three
languages, Hottentot, kaffir and
English, and their enunciation of the
latter is perfect. With tenor, contralto
and soprano voices, they produce an
effect which is beautiful and harmo-
NOUS and dressed in their native
costumes present a very picturesque
appearance.
Miss Elsie Clark, who is the ac-
compauist of the company, was born
in South Africa, and speaks in five
languages. She has lived among the
Beers near Kimberley, and gives a
most Interesting and instructive talk
about these people, who are now the
talk of the world. She is acquainted
with Dom Paul Kruger, and her per-
sonal experience and acquaintance
with this remarkable man and his
people will prove of especial interest
at this time.
This company has travelled all over
Great Britain, and has appeared 100
nights in New York, 100 in Phila-
delphia, 40 in Bost n, as well as in
many of the other cities of this coun-
try. At Chautauqua last season they
were the only recipients of the ia
nous Chautauqua salute.
From a missionary point of view
these boys are interesting as they
show the result of education and
civilization upon a people who, not
many years ago, were classed as
Savages.
The entertainment is given under
the auspices of the Mems Sunday
Evening club, and promises to be
n of the best attended of the sea
son.
