RAILROADS FACE
 HEAVY INCREASE
TaxVaIuationin Alabama Raised
 About S1,000,000.
BOARDS WORK NOT DONE
lt ls Understood the Highest Raise Affects the Property of the Louis vile & Nashville-Will h.
 Crease Revenue s65oo.

Montgomery, March 29.-(special1 1-The state board of assessment will in all probability increase the tax valuation of railroads at least s1,oo0ooo
 The board adjourned yesterday without completing it's work. It will meet again Tuesday morning.
 The changes made in railroad assess ment by the board are not made public until the board has finished it's task. The different items of changes made by the board will not. therefore, be den- nltely known until the final adjournment of the board. The list is now being made out by Judge John T. Cook. chief clerk in the office of the auditor, who is clerk of the board
 In capitol circles it Is said the board undertook this years assessment with the intention of raising railroad valuations. A raise in tax valuations was made nec- essary, it is said, by the generosity of the legislature in the matter of appropria- tions. The assertion was more than once made on the floor of the house of repre- sentatives that the railroad property of the state was assessed at a low and in adequate figure. At any rate, it was gen. orally thought that the reform in tax as sessment which has been predicted would begin with railroad property.
 To curb the impending raise as much as possible, number of the leading rail- road men and railroad attorneys of the south appeared before the board and sub mitted arguments to prove that railroads were assessed higher in Alabama than in her sister states.
 It is understood that the highest raise made by the board affects the property of the Louisville and. Nashville Railroad company It is alleged that the assess ment of the property of the Louisville and Nashville was increased as much as $500 a mile.
 The assessment of the Southern railway was not so largely increased. It is under- stood that raise was made on the val nation of the main line of the Southern, but the beard increased the assessment on it's branch lines
 It is figured that in all the raise made by the board will amount 10 at least SlOO00O1. By t]ls raise the state will in crease it's revenues $6500 yearly.

TUSCALOOSA.
University of Alabama May Purchase
 Tuscaloosa Female College.

Tuscaloosa, March 29-(SpeciaD D.-The purchase of the Tuscaloosa Female col- lege by the University of Alabama is source of much interest both to the citi- zens of this community and those of the entire state. The object of the purchase will be to convert the building into an annex for co-education at the university, and if purchased 1t is very probable that a preparatory department will be added to equip the young ladies for an early entrance to the university. President Ab- ercrombie has made thorough investiga- tion as to the value of the building, and it is said that he thinks very favorably of the state purchasing the college. It is probable that a special meeting of the board of trustees of the university will be called within the near future, when the question will be settled definitely.
 The Ellxs held their annual election of officers recently, which resulted as fol- lows: Exalted ruler, Marvin T. Ormond; esteemed leading knight, Charley c. Simp- son; esteemed lecturing knight, George Johnston; esteemed loyal knight, Ike Friedman; secretary, John G. Brady; treasurer, Henry H. Leland; tyler, Harry C. Calvin; trustee, Sampson D. MeGee; representative grand lodge, John G. Brady; alternate, William T. Mccormick.
 Monday, March 30, Is the day on which 1t is to be definitely decided whether or not Tuscaloosa is to have a new county court house. On this day the question is to be voted on by the citizens of the en- tire county. The question has been the all absorbing topic for the past several weeks and it is very probable that all votes will be cast favorably. as Tusca- loosa is haGly in need of such build Ing.

The worn-out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as a horrible example Of
the evils attendant on the possession
o fgroat wealth. But millionaires are
not the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proportion is
far greater among the toilers. Dys
pepsia and indigestion are rampant
among these people and they suffer
far worse tortures than the millionaire
unless they avail themselves OF a
standard medicine like Green's August
Flower, which has been a favorite
household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over 35 years. August
Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus

Will Abandon
Their Island

The people Of Tristan dAcunha
have pctitioned the British govern1
ment to aid them to remove to South
Africa. Their request is likely 10 be
granted, and with their going a com
munity whose life certain philoso-
pliers would call idylllc is likely to
come to an end.
Tristan d'Acunha is chief Of three
small islands in the very middle Of
the South Atlantic ocean. Known
since 1906, inhabited by American
sealers from 1890 TO 1911, 1t was not
formally occupied by any government
till 1917. Then England put a garri-
son there lest IL be made the base OF
some expedition TO release Napoleon
from St. Helena. When he died this
was withdrawn.
Corporal Glass and two comrades
elected TO remain. With them were
a number OF whalers Some of these
men had their families with them.
Women were induced to come from
ST Helena and elsewhere. Thus a
little colony was formed, which grew
by natural increase and by survivors
Of wrecks. In 1873 II numbered so
souls, with 900 cattle and numerous
sheep.
There was fertile land enough for
the people, a mild climate, and abund-
ance Of pasturage The islanders had
no use for either money OF policemen.
II is not Of record that any serious
crime ever disturbed their peace. They
certainly had all the liberty anyone
could desire Nominally a British
possession, they were really self
governing, republic. They even had
no politics, having soon settled down
TO accepting the Oldest male resident
as the only ruler they needed.
But they were isolated from the
world, with no prospects Of getting
into touch with II. on the routes OF
trade. without a harbor, they we're
rarely visited by ships. An annual
visit from a British warshlp was
their only regular means Of communi-
cation. The young people took TO go
ing away to South Africa as opportu.
nifty offered. They felt tha, life In
their native land was only existence
And now all have made up their
minds to go Tey are tired to being
out Of the world.
In England thoir appeal for aid 70
remove is supported on the ground
that they are really garrison nti-
tied to relief II will probably be
granted. and with their removal this
strange and successful but very lone
Iy little republic will probably cease
TO exist.
