cleanse the stomach and ward off the ap-
preaching attack. Attacks of bilious

RoosEvELT's PLAN FOR TAFT.
Ohio Report That President Wants
 Him as Successor in 1909.

Columbus, O., November 29.-It is said here that President Roosevelt has Will liam H. Taft in mind for vice president. The plan has been discussed by the Pres ident's friends, and in it's scope is in- tended to be a reversal of political his- tory of the last fifty years.
 The plan means a return to the former custom of electlng vice presidents to the Presidency. This involves nominating for second place on the national ticket men who are qualified for first place-men who are presidential timber. President Roose- welt thinks 1t not impossible to revert to the old custom, and he is said to entertain the ambition of dictating his successor It is said he hopes to be succeeded by the next vice president.
 Judge Taft. the Cincinnati jurist. is seldom mentioned except as a possible candidate for President In speculation, paths to the White House have been traced out for him both by way of the governorship of Ohio and the secretary ship or war. The new path, by way of the vice presidency. has been devised by MT. Roosevelt. Probably no one will consider Taft's chance of being President to be as good as if he had first become governor of Ohio. His Ohio friends hoped to have him duplicate, in part, McKineys ca reer

 THE MORTGAGE TAX
Auditor Complies the Receipts
 for Month of October
JEFF ERSON RANKS SECOND
Amount colIe ed from This County $33o. 32--Masons Preparing for Annual Session-"Senator"
 Wes5 in Trouble.

Montgomery, November 29.--(Speeial)- State officials are watching very closely the result of the treasury receipts from the collections in the several counties of the special tax on mortgages.
 The last legislature, after hard fights in both sessions, placed in the revenue code a provision for a tax of fifteen cents on every hundred dollars worth of mortga- ges filed with the probate judges. This tax Is to be collected ey the probate judges, and two thirds of the receipts are to be paid into the state treasury and one-third to go to the county treasury.
 The auditor has compiled the receipts for October from sixty-two of the sixty seven counties. and this shows a total for the state of $2,445.93.
 This was the first month of the oper- alton of the law, and taking into consider ation the fact that comparatively few mortgages are filed in the fall months, the result is very satisfactory. Very little of this amount comes from the strictly agri- cultural counties, in which many mort gages are usually filed during the months of December January, February and March. There were on-y four counties reporting more than one hundred dollars of receipts. Etowah led with STE. 12, Jeff ferson second with $33O.32, Russell third with $20454 and Colbert fourth with $10S.24 F'ifty-eight other counties report ed amounts from $6744 for Henry down to $12O for Winston, which stands at the bottom

This marble likeness of the great Ala bama Mason was recently completed by the sculptor in Birmingham, and it will be in it's place in the temple when the grand lodge meets Tuesday.
 The bust is made of Italian white mar ble, and, with pedestal, measures six feet from top to bottom. The facial likeness in stone to the great man after whom it was modelled is said to be remarkable by those who knew Mr Brundidge and have seen the sculptors finished work.
 The sculptor, l.. N. Archer of Birming- ham, and Lew Lazarus, a prominent Ma son of Birmingham, came to Montgomery to place the statue in position.

THREE MORE DEAD
 FROM THE FEVER
NO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER IN TYPHOID EPIDEMIC AT BUTLER,
 PA.-THE WORST IS YET TO COME.

Butler, Pa, November 29.-Three deaths occurred from the epidemic of typhoid fever and many cases are being reported. Dr. James Crossman broke down under the strain yesterday and today has ty- phoid fever. Those doctors and preachers who are best acquainted with the situ- ation say the worst is yet to come and there will not be sufficient money 10 last till the subsistence of the epidemic which. judging from the history or previous fever scourges, will last until spring. The ex- penses of the relief committee will amount to nearly $10O0 per week
 A general relief eommitte was selected by the meeting to have in charge all of the arrangements during the epidemic for the care of fever patients and the families needing assistance.
 Reports to the committee tonight show fifty new cases today and three deaths. As nearly the committee can estimate the number of cases since the disease first developed is 1850. Of this number at least 2S0 have died. Res9onses from neighboring cities to appeals for aid in the way of nurses and money have been prompt and liberal.
