They were Brought to Letohatchie Last
 Night.


 The remains of Mir Leon Grant. for merly of Montgomery, were brought to Letohatchie on the northbound Louis vile and Nashville train last night. They will be laid to rest at that place today.
 MT. Grant died in the Texas and Pa cific passenger depot in New Orleans Saturday morning. He was en route to Birmingham to join his relatives from Eagle Pass, Texas, where he had been for the benefit of his health. At the depot he was seized with his last illness. He entered a cab and asked to be driven to a hospital. but before the cab had gone block he grew so i'll that he asked to be returned to the depot. He died in few minutes.
 His remains were carried to the morgue. A sum of money and num- Der of letters were found on him which established his identity.
 His relatives in Alabama were in- formed of the affair and of the pres ence of the body at the morgue through the interest of two news agents, Arthur Illus kamp and F. B. Gaulene. They read Sunday morning a brief news item in one of the New Orleans papers of the death of MT. Grant. Having known of him when he was telegraph operator they went to the morgue, identified the body and then sent telegram to Mont gomery to locate his realtives.
 MT. Grant is well known in Middle Alabama and had a number of relatives living in this section of the State.

CAPITAL BREWERY IS TO MAKH
 EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
Will Double Capacity of Plants Bsf< ting Works, Build New Brew House and New Storage
 Cellars.

The Capital Brewing and Ice Com- pany will in the near future put in over $50,000 improvements at its brew ing plant in North Montgomery.
 Work on a portion of the improve ments will begin this week. The bot- ting works at the brewery will be doubled in its capacity and the latest and most modern machinery will be in- stalled. It is estimated that this im- provement will call for an expenditure of $20,000.
 In the near future new brew house will be built. On this the company will spend a large amount both in its con- struction and in the installation or new machinery, for only the latest peer making machinery will be used. More" over, additional cellars will be con- structed for the storing of the peer. The old cellars, those now In use, VIII be used as a wash house. The new cellars will be of brick and built 10 endure many years. The construction of the new brewing house and the new cellars with the buying and the install lation of new machinery will cost, It is estimated, upwards of $30.0OO.
 "The first years business of the com- panv was very gratifying" said Secre- tary and Treasurer A. B. Meyer. we have had a good years business and we are going to spend more than the profits of the year in improving our plant. a thing which should indicate that we appreciate the patronage OF Montgomery and of Alabama

DEATH OF A STRANGER.
T. l.. Dekle Died Yesterday at a Local HOfel.

Hotel.
 The body of Mir, 1. l.. Dekle, Metter. Ga, who died at the Clifton Hotel 216 Bibb Street, yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock has been prepared for burial and is awaiting fin South Court Street undertaking establishment the dispo- sition orders of his relatives in Geor- gia.
 The man was a stranger in Mont gomery, having arrived here a few days ago on his way to Southern Cali fornia, where he was going in search of health. He became i'll, however. and stopped in Montgomery to regain his strength before taking, up again his long journey. He had suffered for years with asthma and chronic bron- chitis and was in a serious condition before he started to California to re- gain his lost health. He grew worse each day after arriving in Montgom cry until death relieved his sufferings yesterday. Coroner W. H. Tice was notified of the death and took charge of the body. From papers in posses sion of the dead man, he learned that he had two brothers, John M. Dekle of Metter. Ga, and c M. Dek1e of Ozell. Ga, and to the brother at Metter, Ga. he telegraphed the news of the death and asked for a reply as to the dispo- sal of the body. Up to last night he had received no reply but is expecting it at any time. In the effects of Mir. Dekle was also found a letter signed by the Mayor of the town of Metter saying to all concerned that the man was a sufferer from asthma and was deserving of charity. He appeared to be 45 or 50 years old and was a bach elor. A small amount of money was found in his effects but otherwise than the information contained in the pa pers found in his room, nothing is known of him or his family. If noth- ing Is heard from his relatives, the body will be buried here at the ex- pense of the County.

NOVEMBER WEATHER
IT WAS ALMOST IDEAL IN THIS
 SECTION.
Weather Bureau Records Show That it Was the Most Pleasant Enjoyed
 For Thirty Years.

The weather in this section for the month just closing goes on record as nearly, if not quite the most pleasant of any November In the last thirty years.
 The temperature has not only been almost ideal, with warm, sunshiney days, and several keen. frosty. and bracing mornings. but there has been comparatively little rainfall.
 The weather conditions in this sec tion are. as a rule, very pleasant from the middle of September to the middle of December. but the present November has so excelled in pleasant weather for all outdoor work and sport, that it Is worthy of special mention. In fact, 1t is only necessary to compare the amount of fuel used here this month with that generally used during November to show, conclusively, how moderate the weather here has been.
 So far, during this month. the tenn perature has reached or exceeded so de- grees on twenty-two days; it reached or exceeded 70 degrees on twelve days and there was but one day when it went as low as 32 degrees. and then 1t barely reached that mark.
 The following, from the local records of the Weather Bureau, is interesting In connection with above
 No of days

through the American customs, were conducted in an open manner, not only could we arrive at fair estimate Of the percentage of the trade falling to the share of the United States, but we could make such a close estimate Of the number, quality, and value of the diamonds. when received in London. and the number, quality and value Of those exported from London to Amsterdam, Antwerp, and Paris, and from all those marts 10 the United States. as would enable our customs officers to put g. stop to all or nearly all the surrepti- tious introduction of these gems into the United States. Surreptitious trade is now greatly favored by the secrecy
 with which the trade Is conducted, the
 values being declared in South Africa and concealed in Europe, and the whole
 business being carried on independent of European official record.
 Nearly one-half the cut diamonds im- ported into the United States come from the Netherlands. The latest official re- port at hand covering the diamond in- dustry of Amsterdam, the seat of the Dutch industry, Is from the United States Consul David Eckstein, written in 1884, and published In the Consular Reports on Labor in Foreign Coun- tries" in 1885. Our imports of dia- monds from Amsterdam in 1884 were
 valued at only $186,647, against $9,1S4,-
 090 in 1908.
 In his report Consul Eckstein says: There are in Amsterdam more and larger establishments than in the rest of the world combined for the manipu- lations and processes of cleaning. cut ting and polishing rough stones.' from which the brilliant is turned out. The number of diamond workers in Amster- dam Is estimated at from 1000 to, $500, and their weekly wages as follows: Cleaners, $2S; cutters, S16: polishers, SPA. Besides the diamond workers,
 women and girls in large numbers are employed In the industry who earn from s6 to $S per week."
 The mean between Consul Eckstein' S estimates of the number of diamond workers in Amsterdam Is 4,700. Allow ing an equal number of workers for
 the rest of the world, we have a total
 of these highly paid foreign artisans
 of 9,400. Estimating our imports of
 cut diamonds ($15,575, ,000) as three
 fourth of the worlds cut diamond out
 put, we have 1000 or over as the num-
 Der of diamond workers required to
 supply our wants in this regard. The
 transference of such an industry from
 Amsterdam, London, Antwerp and Pa
 ris to American cities is highly desir-
 able, and that we are reaching this
 condition in our diamond industry as
 speedily as is consistent with safety is
 shown by the fact that our imports of
 rough diamonds in 1903 were valued at
 $10,933,198, against $6,154,SS3 in 1902
 and $2,517,759 in 1898.

Paris. Nov. 2S.-The Chamber of Deputies today began the debate on Finance Minister Bouvier's bill estab- fishing an income tax.
 The measure. which makes sweeping changes in the fiscal system and Is due largely to the growing strength of the socialists but has the approval of the government. expresses the present taxes on doors, windows and other evidences of personal property amounting to the total of $40,000.0 900
 The new plan vontemplates raising $26,5OO, 900 by taxing individual in- comes and $12,0OO,0O0 by taxing rem tals of real estate. The tax on in. comes Is graduated incomes under $500 being exempted. Over $500 tho rate gradually increases. the highest rate being about two per cent of in- comes over $4,OOO. The tax applies to foreigners having furnished resi- dence In France or receiving revenues from French investments. Strong op- position to the measure is developing on the ground that 1t will drive out capital M.
