A Card from MT. W. L. Hayes.
Camden. Ala, March 8, 1cOl

Camden Ala, March 8, 1c0l Editor The Advertiser:
 In your issue of 3rd day of March. 1904. you comment on and publish in part, the report of the examination of my office by Judge Wilkinson. I am reported as hay ing expended $19,995.71, contrary to law, between October, 1901, and February, 1904 I am preparing a report to show to whom the entire sum was paid and that 1t was paid to teachers who taught the schools and that I have their receipts on the pay roll.
 Judge Wilkinson reports that he found that I had the contracts of the teachers for all the above money, except $69 50, This contract was lost, but I have the report of the teacher for this, who taught the school. The name of a prominent educator was not carried on my books, but his name does appear in one or two places on payroll to amount of 5000. This will be explained by the trustees n whose township the matter occurred.
 When Judge Wilkinson came down hero. he brought from Montgomery, as proper balance for me to have on hand, $l21.30. This exact amount he found in the Bank of Camden here, to my credit as Super intendent In short, I will be able to clearly show where the entire sum of $19. 9.995.n went-each teacher who received 1t and exact amount received by each teacher. and that the teachers who were paid. taught the schools for the time covered by the amounts paid them. My showing will demonstrate that the public school money. every dollar, went to pay the parties entitled to same, and that there has been no corruption whatever in my office. I may not have been as eX- acting of teachers in some particulars as I should have been. or as the letter of the law requires, but there has not been any waste or m.sappropration of the public money.
 Please publish the foregoing in justice to me. Very truly,
 w l.. Hayes.-1t.

 Scottsboro. March 9.-(Speclai. )-The re- port of the grand jury which has just adjourned is rather sensational in part. as well as unique in another. The jury failed to indict James Ledbetter and An drew Holder, charged with the murder of George Pittman and on that point says: "We have been compelled to con- tinue for reasons unnecessary to set forth. and ask your honor to have them held under bond for action by the next grand jury"
 Things seem to he a llttln complicated about the County's financial matters as the following extract will show: The grand jury further find that $l ,32S.C6 was realized to the County from the sale of lands, sold and bid in by the State for taxes, while the Treasurer's books only show credit from this fund of s5e7 SI They are clearly of the opinion that tha County Is entitled to more money from this source than it has received, and rec ommend that suit be brought immediate ly for It's recovery. and they further rec ommend that an expert accountant and examiner be employed by the County to examine Into and report as requirei hv law upon the books and accounts of tba various County officers.

Anniston, March s.-(special.)-The old building which Is being torn down on Noble Street to make ready for the erec- tion of the City National Bank building ax one of the first structures built in Am niston It was erected by the Woodstock Company in 1873 for an Episcopalian house of worship and was dedicated by Bishop Wellman. It first stood where the wagon yard Is now facing Tenth Street and considerably back from the street. About eighteen or twenty years ago 1t was abandoned as a meeting house and was put on rollers and drawn by mules to where 1t, or what remains of 1t, now stands. Originally there was but one floor in the building but when 1t was moved, space permitted and another floor or second story, was put in. The lower floor was then used for an office and up- stairs as a hall or lodge room. Since the time 1t has been utilized for a number of purposes and its last earthly use was as a barber shop.

MADAM BATES
AND BOBBY BURNS.

Editor Morning News: Apropos of
st. Andrews Day, 1 remember reading
many years ago of an incident in the
life of Burns, which 1 have never seen
since in print, nor have ever met
one who had read it.
1t seems that Burns, and conf
panion where travelling through a GER
tain part of Scotland, and stopped at
an inn to spend the night. The inn
was kept by one Mrs. Bates. The
old lady was exceedingly fond of fiat
terry, and entertained q rather exalted
opinion of her personal virtues. She
was ignorant of the names of her Wis
itors, and it was just before bed time,
that some one informed her, that one
of the gentlemen, was the poet Burns.
She approached the poet, and with
earnest solicitation. asked that he
would give her "a stanza," before re-
firing What did you say your name
was?" asked Burns. Bates, Mrs.
Bates" she replied. Oh, well said
Burns how will this do?
"Old Mother Bates
Has reached at last at heavens
gates"
Burns retired, and the old lady treasur-
ed in her mind. the beautiful, "Stanza."
In the morning, as Burns. and his COM
panion were about to leave, she urged
him to finish the "StanZa."
What did l say last night?" asked
Burns.
With great delight she repeated the
lines:
"Old Mother Bates
Has reached at last at heavens
gates"
"oh. yes, said Burns. will give you
the rest of it;
But Peter met her with his club
And knocked her back to Belize
bub."
The change in the old lAdy's man.
ner is more easily imagined, than de-
scribed.
