COUNTY CAN'T
 COLLECT TAX Judge Sayre Decides Against MT. BIakey. MIR. 0'NEAL WINS POINT Court Holds That Exemption
 Clause is Valid. License Must Bs Issued to Montgom- cry Liquor Dealer witheut
 Payment of County Tax.
 win Appeal.

Unless Judge A. D. Sayre. presiding over the Civil Division of the City Court of Montgomery Is overruled in his opinion in reference to the liability of liquor merchants for County licenses persons in that class of business will. as heretofore. be exempt from paying licenses to the County of Montgomery.
 The opinion was rendered yesterday morning in the case of Jesse ONeal, a Court Street liquor dealer against John B. Cfaston. as Judge of Probate of Mont gomery County. The litigation was in the form of mandanus proceedings to compel the Judge of Probate to issue to the peti- toner State license without the pay
 ment of the County tax.
 | The case has been long and tedious legal battle fought out on the most uain- ute details. The bIll of o'NeaI, as originally filed, [averred that the liquor merchants doing fbusiness within the corporate limits of Montgomery are exempted under the charter of the city from the payment of County licenses.
 Points Involved. I Answer was filed by County Tax Com-
 missioner W. NJ. Rlakey. who averred that the city charter of Montgomery was invalid in that it was unconstitutional
 enacted because the journal of the Senate
 
 of the fact that the act was signed in the
 presence of the Senate by it's presiding of-
 ffcer. He demurred to the bill on the fur
 ther ground that the exempting clause violated the constitutional provision that
 each bill shall contain only one subject. Answer was filed by counsel for ONeal
 to the first demurrer of Mfr. Blakey that the charter of the city of Montgomery previous to the charter of 1S9S contained 2
 similar provision. as to the exemption and whether the latter charter Is unconstitu- tional or not the louor men were still exempted.
 | Judge Sayre did not rule on the first
 murrer of MT. Blakey was good. The writ
 was denied.
 Went Back to 1e1o. Counsel for O'Neal. however. asked per-
 mission to amend his bill. which was
 granted. The point was then raised by | the petitioner that in 1887 the charter of the city of Montgomery had a provision exempting liquor men from the County
 license. At that time the Legislature was acting under the Constitution of 1Si9 which
 contained no provision, requiring only one
 subject to be in a bill, which should be clearly outlined in the title. He set up
 the proposition. that granting all the oth- CT. sections of various city charters subse- duent to that of 1887 were unconstltution-
 al the provision in the charter of 1919.
 which was valid. still held good. as a con.
 stitutional enactment cannot be repealed by the enactment of subsequent unconsti- tutional provisions.

 The cali to arms had come. The street was alive wiah uniformed men, the air resonant with trumpet call and drum be4t
 Driil calls sounded on the green. the busy whifr of sewing machine and needle in church and home. The faces of the men were flushed and stern, those of the woman gray and set.
 After many weeks of waiting the issue had been joined and nation sprang to arms. Men and women alike were ex- cited and determined.
 A picturesque group stood in the old vesctihule of the old Methodist Church.
 A youth of s9. tall. straight, heroic in his uniform with the tieutenant's shoul- der straps; giri of IS, red-eheeked, with flashing eyes and raven hair; another youth of two and twenty, blue-eyed, firm

 Helen spoke the young lieutenant, imreriously. ''the time has come to choose. Tn three days we move to the front. You know I love you Can | carry your picture in my Iocket, your promise and yourself in my bosom when go onto the battle field? You have hesttated long enough. I claim a de- cisfon before l go"
 The eirrs cheeks flushed and her eyes dropped. Her lips trembled with un. spoken words.

As she hesitated the lieutenant
 broke in, impressiveiy.
 After all your talk of patriotism. Helen -au your fiery urging that every man must now give account of himself--do you hesitate between the man who goes to the front and the man who stays be- hind?"
 The girl glanced up quickly. Her eyes | rested on the proud. handsome face of the young soldier; then on that of the civilian. The latter,s went hlood-red,

 Duties In fhe Senate.

Mrs. Lulu Lee Wood Frances left. yes terday for Montgomery, where she will resume her duties as recording and en- crossing clerk of the senate. She has re- gently recovered from a long Illness of fever, and after the legislature adiourns she expects to go to Washington to spend the winter.
 Mrs Frances has filled the position of recording and expressing clerk during two or three sessions of the legislature. Her campaign" few years ago was very exciting and interesting, as there were two strong opponents in the field It was a great personal victory for her when the senate's decision was announced. Her election was in the nature of land slide, and she received congratulations from friends all over the state. The friends she made during her campaign she has held, and she has the esteem of many of Alabamas most able and bril- liant men, Her position is very respon- sble one, and her office Tn the capitol is next in importance to that of the gov ernor.
 She is on the "insde'' without having to worry with people who want appro- priations and appointments.

4 S change from having to read
 A long and tiresome ordinances and petitions, Mayor w M Drennen is to be given an opportunity to peruse several dozen bright club papers written by Birmingham women. He will be ex- pected to select the best paper, and the remaining papers will, of course. share the fate of all rejected manuscripts. From being the chief executive in municipal power Mayor Drennen will, to some ex- tent, assume the role of chief as news paper people understand the word. He will be assisted in his new duties by Gen. Rufus N. Rhodes, and pr. J. H. Phillips.
 A woman is said to be at the bottom of everything, but in this instance It Is whole club of women.
 Mrs Charles Samuel Simmons president of the Birmingham Woman's club an- nounces that handsome prize has been offered by Messrs. Loveman, Joseph & Loeb for a paper giving the best outline of work for the coming year. Only mem bers of the club are eligible. The usual rules governing contests of this kind will be observed. Each paper must be signed WItn HulilDcI anu Stul u NIT oiuiilOnS at Hotel Hillman, and in a separate en- velope, the corresponding number and name of the writer must be sent to Mrs. James U. Hardeman. on College Hill. All papers must be received before the first of October.
 The papers will be submitted to General Rhodes, Mayor Drennen and pr. Philips.
 The president of the club hopes that the contest will arouse great deal of interest among the club members. The Woman's club has, through it's very broad constitu- tion an opportunity for active work along many channels Through its various de- partments it may not only suggest civic improvements but may develop them. There are numbers of subjects which will at once suggest themselves to club women in outlining the winters work. and the papers to be submitted will doubtless be teeming with vital thoughts and sugges- tions.
 The Woman's club has some time been called an auxiliary of the city council and the proceedings of the council meet ings have more than once been enlivened with petitions from the club.

On Seeing the Cup Races.

Golfers Weekly referring to the yacht races expresses an opinion shared by many persons after the race is thing of the past
 For pure fun, nothing can surpass the observation of yacht racing for cup. You get up early In the morning and re- turn late in the afternoon. Whether you buy ticket and are packed with few hundred other fortunates or own a fine steam yacht yourself, is all one. In either case you travel eagerly out into the ocean, near Sandy Hook, where you stop and roll, enjoying the sensations in spired in the human mind by such activ- ity. You look at long line of boats per forming the same motions, and try to read their names. In the distance, almost invisible are two white streaks known to be Shamrock and Reliance. One Is a little to the windward. Half the party think it is the defender. The other half believes it is the challenger. About one man out of three knows whether the course is an equilateral triangle. paral- telegram. or the panrasnorium.
 "Rumors pass around from time to time about the relative performances of the boats Everybody eats lunch who Is not seasick The whole long performance is amusing. because it is something to do, and you are not compelled to do it. In- deed you have to pay to do 1t.

PLUS EMBRACES SISTERS.
An Affectonate Greeting Takes Place
 In the Vatican.

Rome, September 1.-The three sisters of Pope Plus x, who lived with him at Venice, arrived in Rome today after a separation of about six weeks. A special carriage was provided for them by the railroad company so that they travelled in a much different way from that to which they had been accustomed in the past They were received immediately by Plus. The sisters tried to kneel. but were prevented from doing so by their brother, who took them in his arms and embraced them.
 One sister, in tone of disappointment. said, How well you look. brother. You have not needed us after all'
 The pontiff replied, T am always your Beppi, but l am doing very well here. :"
 An hour was spent in chatting. The three sisters are now staying in a convent until an apartment at the San Angelo Bridge is ready for occupancy.

Mrs. Perry Decides
 To Close Sans SOuCi.

Much regret Is being expressed at the decision of Mrs. William Hayne Perry to close Sans Souci. the we'll known school in South Carolina, and very fine old place. It has long been considered one of the most beautiful estates In South Carolina and is really noted throughout the south.
 Mrs. Perry's reasons for closing Sans Souci Is that the duties entailed in such a school carried such great responsibils- ties that she preferred 70 be relieved of them It is understood that eventually she will make some disposition of the entire place. Mrs. Perry's husband, the late Congressman Perry, left 1t to her to dispose of entirely at her discretion.
 Sans Souci was converted Into q school a few years ago and ranked with the most elegant institutions In the south. Girls from all over the south attended Sans Souci and the prospects for the coming session were brighter than usual.
 Mrs. w. c. Jemison, who represented Sans Souci in Alabama, had secured large number of young women from this state, her canvass being unusually sue cessful.
 The decision to close Sans Souci was as great a surprise to her as it was to the public.
 Mrs. Perry as the daughter of Con gressman John Hollis Bankhead, of Ala bama, has numbers of friends through out the state. She recently entertained large houseparty at Sans Souci and 1t was announced that she had planned a reunion of the alumnae for next June when brilliant houseparty would be given at Sans Souci.
