State Relieved Them

In the meantime, t'he state had agreed 10 relieve these counties of their embar- rassment by letting them pay the amount of taxes due the state to the federal courts in settlement of the decrees rendered against them.
 This legislat ton was effected during the 1SSs-S9 session of the legislature, and was the direct result of very strong effort on the part of Gen. George P. Harrison and Col. William J. Sanford, who had been elected members from Lee county.
 They secured the passage of a bill gro provide for the settlement of the indebted ness of the counties of Chambers, Lee, Pickns, Randolph and Tallapoose,' by each of them except Randolph paying the amounts due the state in ten annual in- stallments of equal amounts, Randolph be- ing allowed to pay her portion in fifteen annual installments.
 The amounts due the state by the several counties were as follows: Chambers, ST. 5SS.61; Lee, $H, ,95566; Pickens, s23, ,4s5 s4; Randolph, s36, ,296.O1; Tallapoosa, $33, ,60O 26.
 It was ordered in the bill above referred to that in paying said indebtedness all taxes on the following railroads should be paid into the state treasury: Columbus and Western, East Alabama Cboth now Sa- vannah and Westerly, Cincinnati, Selma and Mobile formerly Selma, Marion and Memphis.) One-half of said state taxes, were to be equally divided between the counties of Chambers, Lee and Tallapoosa, and the other half between Pickens and Randolph, the county taxes being placed to the credit of the county from which the same was paid
 Many other counties in the state are yet paying taxes to meet the interest on bonds similar to those Issued by the counties above referred to, but none of the others have yet defaulted on the interest The decree of the federal court probably fell hardest upon Pickens county, as that coun- ty has fbeen paying for bonds on what was known as the old Forrest road, not one foot of which was ever built, the Mobile and Ohio being the first railroad to enter that county in 1898. Gen. E. w. Fucker later came into control of the old Forrest road, and 1t is stated that he made large

OLD COUNTY DEBTS
 AT LAST SETTLED Final Disposition of "Strangu- lated County Bond Funds" EXCEPT IN ONE INSTANCE
These Counties Became Involved in Debt and Probate and Commission CTS Were Imprisoned for Refus-
 ing to Make Certain Lsvies.

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont ments were made into the state treasury during this week which wipe off the audit or's books, with a single exception, the rec ord of some iniquitous reconstruction acts. It was the settlement in full by all except one. county of what is known as the "strangulated county bond funds" Just af- ter the close of the civil war, and during the reconstruction period, several of the counties of the state became very much em- barrassed in consequence of the endorse ment of some railroad bonds, the interest of which they were unable to meet, and pay taxes. The bondholders carried the matter into the federal courts and obtained decrees to have the officers levy on any property to raise interest money.
 In consequence of this act by the court, many county commissioners and probate judges resigned their offices rather than make the levies. In several instances the probate judges and commissioners were ar rested and placed in jail for contempt of court notably in Chambers county, where Judge Peter M. Rowland and the commits sioners were arrested and placed in the jail here in Montgomery, remaining there for many weeks. In some instances the tax collectors either resigned or failed to qualify.
 This was the case in the counties of Lee, Chambers, Randolph, Tallapoosa and Pick ems. and in 1883 special act was passed by the general assembly creating each of those counties separate taxing districts, and pro- viding for the appointment by the governor of special tax commissioners to collect the taxes
