Local Taxation in 6eorq;a.

State School Commissioner Glenn of Georgia has printed advance copies of his annual report, and is sending copies of it to members of the legisla- ture with view of moving them to adopt local taxation for the schools of that State at the coming session of the legislature.
 He shows at great length but with overwhelming completeness that those localities which have good schools raise at least two-thirds of the school income by local taxation. For in- stance" he says, "Bibb county spends for her schools this year $80,000. She receives s25,00O from the State and raises $55,000 by local tax. Blob county has nine months school ab- solutely free for every child in the county. The country schools have every advantage that the city schools enjoy. have also pointed out this significant fact that the county tax for schools has resulted in the county lands being increased in value over 500 per cent in the last twenty-five years, by reason of the schools whereas the lands in an adjoining county will not sell for as much today as they would have brought twenty five years ago. The increase in the value of farm property in Bibb county the present year is over ssoo.oOo. Can

TIGHT SHOES KILLED HER.
New York Correspondent in Chicago Rec ord-Herald. .4

New York Correspondent in Chicago Rec
 ord-Herald. .4
 Tight shoes caused the death of Mrs Bridget Mooney. who was 70 years old. Mrs Mooney bought new pair of shoes a few weeks ago. They hurt her feet, but she insisted on wearing them. At her age, she was not vain-she thought she could 'break in'' the shoes. The left one pinched her great toe. and after two or three days the friction tore the skin. The abrasion became infiamed. and Saturday Mrs. Mooney was compelled to go to hospital. The surgeons quickly recognized that she had celmlitis. inflammation Of the soft, fleecy cellular, or connective tis- sue under the muscles that help to con- meet the skin to them. Mrs. Moneys foot and leg were much swollen. The surgeons used their utmost skill to suhdue the in- flammation. But Mrs. Moneys years we're against her. and she died last night.

Poor Economy,

T notice that many houses in the sub urbs of Birmingham are unpainted,' 1e- marked a newcomer yesterday
 This strikes me as poor economy. Moreover a house without paint has dilapidated appearance soon after it's newness wears off. have seen rows of cottages. each one costing as much as $500 or sS50 without a bit of paint on the shutters, window frames or weather boarding. A hundred dollars, or perhaps less, would give house of the class re- ferred to two good coats of paint The wood thus painted would be preserved to say nothing of looks. and the owner of the property would certainly be in pocket by the little outlay in the long run"

PARKER To sE REWARDED.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 The colored man James Parker, who it is stated and believed tried to save the life of the President by preventing Czol- gosz from firing a third shot. deserves some handsome reward. It was his good fortune to be In q position to render this service to the nation, and he took ad- vantage of 1t by his prompt action. His modesty after the event Is another point in his favor. Probably the best way to reward him would be to find out his quail ifcations and give him as high an office as lie may be fitted to fill, and make 1t permanent.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 The luckiest gamblers In the lottery of love are those who don't play the game.
 You can never make an engaged girl believe that 1t ever happened that way before.
 A woman doesn't care so much to have a man dangling after her as she cares not to have one.
 Any woman can marry any man she pleases, but what worries her Is to marry a man she displeases.
 A woman can manages to be pretty happy under the most depressing cir cumstances If she can only find some one to listen to- her rake down her relatives.
 The difference between being engaged and married Is that before marriage a man can't stand being away from her and afterward he cant stand not being away.

The Country's Population.

"Never in it's history has Jefferson County increased so rapidly in popula- ton. perhaps, as it has during the past twelve months." said an old citizen.
 .'Evidences of growth are seen on every hand. New houses are multiplying as fast in the suburbs of Birmingham as they are within the city limits, and they are quickly occupied. Jefferson County's population today Is not less than 1so.Ooo. This is surely not an exaggerated esti- mate when an analysis of census figures is made. Tn June. 1890. the census gave Jefferson sS000. and in June, 1900. 14o,00o- an increase of about 60 per cent That would be an average of only about 6 DOT cent per year. but 1t must be remembered that in the general depression from 1893

A cuIIman Product.

"The sweet potato is one of Cullman County's main stays, and it was hoped two weeks ago that tht price would keep up to $250 a barrel, but 1t has dropped to $1.50. said Cullman merchant.
 ''The short crop talk in August was be- lieved to have been well founded, but the rains came in time to make a good crop. If the present price is maintained 1t will mean big money for our truck farmers. Cullman supplies not only Birmingham with It's sweet potatoes, but large ship ments are made to Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati end other markets"

Hotels Busy.

September is usually dull month in the hotel business, but this month IS an exception to the rule so far as Birming- ham hotels are concerned. For two weeks past the arrivals have been fully 25 per cent more numerous than they were Tor the corresponding period last year. Com mercial travellers are always in evidence and In addition to this class many fn- vestors and fransients In general are seen in the lobbies.

to 1897 there was no increase. On the other hand, there was probably con- siderable falling off in the dull years. When prosperity came in 1897 1t Is reason able to say that Jefferson's population was not much greater than 1t was in 1890. Suppose it was 90,000 in that year, and suppose its ratio of increase has been the same since June, 1900 that it was in the three years preceding. That would give us-flfteen months later-16O.00O in round numbers But it Is easy to imagine that it's ratio of increase since June, 1900. has gained steadily. Probably 165,00o would come nearer the mark than 16O, 900.
 Tt Is to be hoped that Birmingham's thriving suburbs will be incorporated into the city limits when the next Legislature assemblies. If this Is not done there Is danger of time slipping by until it Is too late to get Birmingham listed in the cen sus of 1910 with the population that would naturally belong to 1t. When all wide awake cities are striving for big exhibits in the way of expansion. Birmingham can not afford to be left behind"

Vest is not too old to succeed him. self They are led to this conclusion chiefly by the aspirants for MT. Vests toga.. It would not fit any one of them.
 It is a reflection upon Missouri soil and climate to say that 73 is too old for service on the part of Missourian in the Senate chamber. Old men for counsel and young men for action. Counsel is what Is wanted in the Sen ate, and Missouri should watch Ala. bama when she selects Senators.
 All in all, Senator Vest will proba. bly, be his own successor. He does not gumshoe, sts Governor Stone does and he has plenty of wit as some of the other aspirants have not. They no longer in Missouri consider MT. Vest out of the senatorial race, but if he but give the word the other aspir- ants may as well consider themselves out of it, for MT. Vest is strong among the plain people in the sense that our two Alabama Senators are. No one can outrun our Senators in popular canvass, and MT. Vest Is equally strong Tn the hearts Of the Missouri people The Senate and the country would miss MT. Vest if he should de cline reelection, but that is just what he will not do in all present proba bility.

The Stock Market,

While Wall street speculation was af- fected by the tragedy at Buffalo, values nave held up remarkably well, which is good evidence of the general prosperity of the country" said Birmingham stock broker.
 It was very different in 1881, when poor Harheld was shot. Gulteau's crime was committed in the morning just about the time that the New York stock exchange was opening. So great was the shock that the money market was demoralized. and the exchange was thrown into a panic. There was great slump In stocks and there was little or no rally. Trading had been overdone prior to the tragedy and prices were much too high When Gar field died the bottom had dropped out of the stock market, and 1t staid out for nearly for years

Newton May made murderOus at
tack on Policeman Glass and doubtless
would have killed him had he not
been prevented. Brought into court
for trial he makes no denial of the
fact but SwearS that he was voluntarily
intoxicated and had no knowledge of
W hat he was doing, and he therefore
asks to be excused. The jury excuses
him so far as the murderous purpose
is concerned and assesses penalty for
the mere assault. May, perfectly
content with his victory, proceeds to
his expiatlon. The law satisfied, he
will 60 forth free to drink himself in
to a condition of mental and moral
responsibility as often as he may
please, realizing full well that he is a
menace to the community whenever
he does SO but caring nothing for that
because, forsooth, he is excusable. In
other words, he has the right, and so
has every man, to drive his own con-
science out and empty his brain of
human intelligence and if, while so
bereft, he does a wrongful act he may
excuse himself by saying that it was
impossible for him to intend wrong.
The thing is prepOSterous. Society
is not so helpless as that. 1t has full
power to protect itself against wrong
doors drunk or sober. A man who
voluntarily gets drunk is presumed to
know that he may lose his self-control
and by the very act of becoming in
toxicated he makes himself responsible
for all the consequences. His intoxi-
cation, especially if he knows the
effect upon him, is an aggravation of
any offense that may ensue. We re-
ported the May trial quite fully, fore
seeing the defense that would be offer
ed, because the people will be in
teresUed in knowing whether or not
they have greater criminal latitude
when drunk than when sober. Let
US all, now, 60 forth and fill up when
we contemplate evil conduct, for we
shall then be excused, being without
power to intend evil.

Mrs. Matthew Erwin Dead.

Mrs. Matthew Erwin, one of the
best known women of Bourbon and of
this county, died suddenly and unex-
pectedly at her home Sunday evening.
1t will be remembered that a short
time ago Mrs. Erwin fell on the street
in Bourbon and sustained a fracture
of the thigh and it was feared at the
time that her advanced age, ~ years,
would initiate strongly against her
recovery. Her husband died while
postmaster at Bourbon and her daugh-
ter Daisy now occupies that Office.
Mrs. Erwin was a lovable Christian
woman, whose influence for good was
powerfully felt in the community
about her, and she will be greatly
missed by large circle of friends and
relatives.

acquisitions for William S. Taylor and
