Phillips of Birmingham, saying that the state was doing it's part towards public education. He favored local school tax ation and said that the counties should not look wholly to the state for educa- tion. He would not take a cent from the soldiers or the schools, and did not think the report of the committee would have that effect, or he would have Drought in a minority report He had no distrust of the Legislature but 1t was true that surplus always leads to extravagance This was true of individuals and govern ments, and he thought it unwise to raise more money than was necessary for the legitimate expenses of the state.
 MT. Ashcraft Speaks.
 MT. Ashcraft of Lauderdale said he had seen the figures furnished by the Auditor to MT. Browne and that the Au- ditor stated that while the figures fur nished MT. Browne were correct Mir. Browne's conclusions were his own His own conclusions were that if the tax rate was reduced there would be a deficit that either the soldiers or the schools would suffer Here several apparently conflicting statements were made as to what the Auditor had stated to different delegates Which conclusions will the convention take. aswed MT. Ashcraft the conclusions of an experienced auditor or the conclusions of the committed He said it would be unsafe to reduce the present tax limit, it might cripple the growth or the credit of the State.
 MT. Lowe Speaks.
 MT. Lowe of Jefferson said he disliked to be put in the attitude of opposing a reduction taxation, but that he was op- posed to the report of the committee upon the grounds that it was unnecessary, un- ad md an ott fl,a Norf of this convention to legislate on matters which should be left to the Legislature. He reviewed the history of tax rates in the State and said that it had been re- duced so low as to create deficit and it had to be raised to pay it off The General Assembly had been meeting every two years, and he hoped 1t would continue to do so, and it could fix the rate according to changing conditions It was bad government to have either a surplus or a deficit in the treasury Members of the Legislature are elected

TIME AND ETERNITY.
The Rev. Joseph Parker and the Youth
 With New Watch.

From the London Express
 Dr. Joseph Parker is by no means a nervous or easily disconnected man, but recently, when he was preaching in a leading provincial town of Eng land, he was much annoyed by young dandy sitting under him, who, proud of new gold watch, was continually pulling it out to see what time 1t was. Eternity was the preachers theme, and on and on he went, and out and out came the watch, till the poor divine could stand it no longer. In the very climax of his sermon he suddenly stop ped looking full at the offender. and quickly said: Put up your watch, young man; we are speaking of eter- nifty, not of time."

A clerk in a prominent insurance office in Pittsburg relates his experience with Stuart's, Catarrh Tablets in few words, but to the point. He says: "Catarrh has been almost. constantly with me for eight years; in this climate 1t seems impossible to get rid of it. I awoke every morning stuffed up and for the first half hour it was cough. gag, expectorate and sneeze before I could square myself for my day s work; no appetite and a foul breath, which annoyed me exceedingly.
 'I used Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for two months and found them not only pleasant to take. but they did the busi- ness, and I can sincerely recommend them to all catarrh suffereres.'
 Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents for full sized package. They can be carried in the vest pocket and used at any time and as often as necessary Guaranteed free from cocaine, mercury or ay mineral poison; absolutely safe.

 Other Speeches.
 Judge Coleman of Greene said that Gov ernor Oates amendment was unnecessary, as the section as reported contained all authority that was necessary for the reg islature to refund the bonds. The only new feature in General Oates plan was that part which authorized the improve ment of the capitol and buying the re- maining part of the square. That it was unnecessary to issue bonds for this pur- pose, as the State would save over $13O,ON by the refunding of the bonds, which was necessary to accomplish the purchase and improvement. He thought the whole mat ter should be left to the legislature. Ans wering a question of MT. Ashcraft he said the legislature had the power to pur- chase the land.
 MT Jones of Wilcox said General Oates amendment was unnecessary. The matter properly belonged to the legislature and should be left to them. If we put in the constitution everything that members want to put in it we will have a volume as big as the code of Alabama. Let the legislature do its work and let us do ours. On motion of MT. DeGraffenreid, Gov ernor Oates amendment was laid on the table by a vote of 76 to A.
 MT. watts or Montgomery OHereu an amendment to allow the legislature to in- crease the State debt GOO for the pur- pose of improving the capitol ad adding to it's grounds. He thought the capital should be improved so as to be a credit to the State. It might or might not be necessary to issue bonds, but if necessary his amendment authorized il. He thought the grounds should be improved and the State needed a Governors mansion. Ala bamians should have pride in their capi- tai city. this historic spot where a new nation was born.
 MT. Weatherly of Jefferson moved to lay the Watts amendment on the table. He said he made the motion solely to confine the convention to it's legitimate work Tho amendment was then tabled.

THE INDEPENDENCE BEATEN.
She Makes Some Remarkably Good Time in
the Race.
(By the Associated Press.)

Newport, r. l., August 1.-The indie
pendence had an opportunity today to
show her mettle. Although defeated by
the Columbia, she was by no means dis
graced Over a triangular ocean course
of thirty miles in a breeze light at the
start and fresh at the finish. the con-
ulieror of the Shamrock beat her i've
minutes and fourteen seconds corrected
time The first ten miles of the course
was a beat to windward. The Columbia
at one time was nearly half mile in the
lead, but as the wind freshened the In
dependence pulled up considerably. Then
came a run down the wind with the
breeze on the starboard quarter. The
was left far astern by the
Columbia in this leg.
From the second mark to- the finish
off Brentons Reef Lightship it was a
reach with the wind a little before the
port beam In this leg the independence
did her best work of the day. She gained
one minute and fortynine seconds on
tho Columbia. She was heeling over con-
siderably at times and going very fast.
She sailed the last leg of the course, ten
nautical miles, in forty-five minutes and
forty-fve seconds, better than thirteen
knots an hour.

A'MOB S1RANGLES Two WOMEN
Mother, Daughter and Son Hanged For the
Murder of the TaliaferrOs.
THE GOVERNOR FLIES TO THE SCENE

were ready to come to the Jail and take
the suspects out The committee imme-
,liately went to the court house ana
called the people together. Messrs. HILL
Mr.. L. NJ SouthWorth and Senator
George addressed them and told them
what they were trying to do. They
seemed fairly we'll satisfied when they
were assured that the negroes would
not be spirited away and that the final
investigation would be had in public IN
the court house.
The peace comittee then proceeded to
the iail to complete its work. They
worked until o'clock, when an adjourn
ment was had to report progress and
for dinner. The mob continued impa-
tient and restless. In the meantime
Governor I.ongino had telephoned Judge
Stevens that he would leave Jackson
for Carrollton on the II o'clock train.
The comittee being appraised OF this, did
their best to kill time SO the Governor
might arrive and use his influence.
However, they began about o'clock
to make another report to the people
They proceeded to the court house
where Mr.. Hill repeated that the COM
mittee had concluded after a faithful and
field and Betsie McCray knew that the
Taliaferros were to be killed and had
absented themselves from home so that
they might prove an alibi, the others
who had actually committed the deed,
had been caught. Mr.. Hill left 1t to the
crowd as to whether the committee
should proceed with the investigation
or drop it and have the jury investi-
mi in N
structing them to proceed with the in
vestigation.
However. as the crowd was dispensing
from the court house they met about
fifty men armed with shotguns and rifles
and who were in the court house to hear
the latest reports. These men proceeded
to the Jail where the deputy sheriff
promptly opened the door for them
Three men went upstairs and brought
out Belfeld. Betsie and Ida McCray.
Judge Stephens, Messrs. Hill, George
and other citizens begged and pleaded
with them as did Lynn Taliaferro, the
son of the murdered couple, not to Kill
these negroes, as they would thereby
thwart the ends of justice. But it
was to no purpose. The mob took the
negroes under the hill about quarter
of mile from the town and hanged the
three, firing at least 500 shots into their
bodies. The Governor arrived just as
the mob was returning. He went to the
court houseqand addressed a large and
saddened crowd. 1t is believed that IL
he could have gotten there in time he
might have prevented the lynching.
The Governor returned on the evening
train.
Jim Lane was brought in just as the
mob was dispensing.
