BOOKS OF CRENSHAW
RUTLEDGE REPORTS
 TO THE GOVERNOR.
County Officials Made Some Errors, But All Indebtedness Was Set
 tied Promptly-Circuit Clerk Was Accurate.

The report of Assistant Examiner of Public Accounts J. T. Rutledge filed yesterday in the office of the Governor, showed that each of the county officials of Crenshaw County, with the exception of Circuit Clerk J. N. Pollard, was in- debted to the State small amounts be- cause of errors. Each of the amounts has been paid and the Crenshaw officials now have clean sheets.
 As soon as the attention of the county officers was called to the errors they sent the money to the State Treasurer and it was received there before the re- ports were filed
 The Assistant Examiner found that the land redemption account of Probate Judge John F. Walker had no errors in them, nor were there any mistakes in hts license books. He found. however. that in 1901 Judge Walker failed to collect corporation tax of $25 which was due. The Examiner, therefore, charged that up against the Judge with interest amounting to $2S. For the years of 1922 and 1903 the license for this corporation had not been collected, amounting to $23 for the two years.
 It was found that Sheriff S. D. May had in the cases of eight prisoners made errors in feed bills in all amounting to 10S days. The total amount for these 105 days, $S1 .5O was charged to the Sher- if and paid by him.
 The accounts of Tax Assessor James J. Walker for the year 1902 were examined and found to be correct, except in one instance. A tax raise of $40 was entered on the Auditors abstract. but it did not appear on the Assessors book, The raise was. however, added to the Collector s abstract. and the State lost nothing
 The books of J. NJ. Horn, Tax Col lector, were examined for the years 1901 and 1902. The Examiner found that Tax Collector Horn had collected for 1901 es- capped taxes amounting to $26.60, for which no mention was made in the re- port sent the Auditor. He was charged with that amount. The Examiner found that an item of $SS. had been allowed as credit while the item did not ap- pear on the minutes of the Commission CTS Court. The Examiner was inform ed that the item had been accidentally omitted. The Examiner reported that Collector Horn owed the State $11 .O2 for the year 1902, being due total of $37 .S2 The books of Circuit Clerk J. N. Pol lard were reported neatly and correctly kept. He did not owe the State. nor did the State owe him.

Here is a List of Prize Win
 nerS. Mrs Lamar Was Second in List of Popular Persons-Will Have Choice of Advertiser
 Free Trips.

The contest is over and Norman Drum fs the winner. Herewith is presented the successful persons in The Advertiser Free Vacation Trip Contest.
 At o'clock last night, promptly on tlnlE one of the most exciting. unique and Interesting popularity contests ever be- fore conducted in the Southern States was finished.
 It has been said many times that news paper popularity contests do not bring out the persons who are really most popular but are largely dependent upon who can gather up the most votes by a house to house canvass. regardless of acquaint- anees, but this contest has been conducted upon etirely original ideas, and required xhe candidate to receive votes only from those who felt willing to pay their sub Ecriptions, thereby putting both the voter and the candidate to test of friendship.
 No doubt there will be many surprised persons at the result of the finish. This surprise will be among the winners as well as voters. Mrs. Lamar and Norman Drum have been running close for the past several days. but by some tall sprint ing MT. Drum led the race by a small margin over his competitor, having a trifie over 200 votes to spare at the finish.
 J. B. Slaughter made a gallant race and held his position in third place for a long time. Master George Franklin Smith was hustling close to third in the race and no doubt caused MT. Slaughter some uneasi- ness. J. E. Finley and G. w. Long had a host of friends from Brewton and Uniontown who came to the front for their respective candidates on the last day.
 Miss Roy Cadden succeeded in finishing at the head of the second division, while w. D. Kendrick lost his balance yester- day and dropped from the first to the second division very hard. Rev. W. A. Talliaferro, by a spurt. relegated J. E.

AT THE CASINO THEATRE.
Harrison-Adams Company to Remain Another Week.

Another Week.
 Patrons of the Pickett Springs Theatre will no doubt be glad to know that the Harrison-Adams Company, which pleased large audiences the past week, has been held over for another week and will pre- sent three more plays, changing tn pro- gram entirely on Wednesday and Friday nights with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinee.
 The plays to be produced this week are entirely and distinctly different from those given by this company last week. inasmuch as the are dramas, and the very best kind of dramas, too. These will give the company chance to show just how clever and versatile Its members are, and will give Miss Edytha Ketchum, the pretty and accomplished leading woman, a chance for emotional work.
 The opening play for Monday and Tues day nights is Hal Reid's beautiful story of Virginia, entitled Roanoke. In this play Miss Ketchum will assume the sweet and sympathetic part of blind girl, Earl P. Adams will appear as a greedy, grasp ing old miser, and Henry Harrison, the clever young comedian will portray an old Southern black mammy, Aunt Dinah. The remaining parts in the cast, which Is long one. will all be well taken.
 Wednesdays matinee will probably be the largest or the season, TOT the play to be presented then will be a revival and correct dramatization of Mrs. Henry Woods's favorite and famous novel, East Lynne" with Miss Ketchum as Lady Isabel' and Mir. Jack Ferguson as Archibald Carlye.' East Lynne" will also be played Wednesday and Thursday nights.
 For Friday and Saturday nights. a scenic production of "The Moonshiners' will be given. This will close the park season for this summer.

Roosevelt last month. Sir Thomas Lipton took stroll through the capitol ot Wash ington. The guide made no exception in to him, as do guides to all other sight seers. the relative positions of the statues of Columbus and Washington Columbus is represented as holding a sphere and and Washington short distance away with outstretched hand. Then the guide said what other guides have said and will continue to say: Wouldn't think that they were the original ball players of America"
 Lipton looked and thought moment Then he said: Columbus should be the patron saint of American baseball In arguing for the spherical shape of the earth, he proved himself the greatest of ball cranks."
