Farmer Boys Rarely Meet With Hor-
 nets And Yellow Jackets.
 Jacksonville, Ky, Graphic.
 Certain insects that in the past have been quite an annoyance seem the last year or two to be playing out. Like the Indians, it seems that their days are numbered. In talking with soma farmers a few days since we were in- formed that tobacco worms were aI- most unknown so for this season. In fact. they have not been very bad for several seasons. It is probable that In few years there will be no such thing as tobacco worm. Plans have been devised in the past for their ex- termination. and 1t seems that the plan has worked very we'll
 It is also said that wasps. yellow Jackets, hornets and humble bees are rather scarce article. We who are older remember when we were boys that these stinging insects were to be met on every hand. and the boy who went through the season without get ting stung from ten to a thousana times was, indeed, lucky chap.
 Last year we noted the fact that wasps were scarce. They are even scarcer this year than ever before. So far We have not seen an insect outside of mosquito this season that could sting person.

for execution, and have the same been executed?
 second-Have you endeavored to as- certain the names of any of the par ticipants in such lynching, and have you proceeded. under Sections 521l and 52l2 or the Code, to arrest such persons? Third-Was any deputy of yours in charge of the person lynched, and, if so' has said deputy reported to you the names or those participating in the lynching, and Is said deputy still in your employ or retained by you? Yours very truly. R. M. Cunningham. Lieutenant and Acting Governor. From Marengo County where Rufus Lesuere was lynched he received the following reply:
 Linden, Aug. 25. 1sUl. Hon. R. M. Cunningham, Montgomery. Ala:
 Dear sir-I have the honor to reply to your official inquiry of the aand inst, relative to the killing of Rufus Lesuere on August Is, and submit the following:
 First-No afidavits have been made by any one. charging any person or persons with participating in the above mentioned crime. and no arrests have been made, either with or without war rants.
 second-since the commission of said offense, I have constantly endeavored to ascertain the participants therein, but suspicion has pointed to no par ticular persons to such extent as would in my opinion, justify arrest. Third-No deputy of mine was in charge of Lesuere, and none of my off cial force was on the ground at the time, nor had I received any notihca- tion .as Sheriff or otherwise. that Le- suere had been apprehended. did not in fact. have any intimatiop of said arrest having been made until learn ed of the killing of Lesuere under the circumstances mentioned in my previ- ous report to you.
 With every assurance that I shall endeavor to execute the law as pre- scribed in the schedule of my official duties. and as called to my attention by your exceliency, I beg to remain,
 Yours respectfully.

 Bay Minette, Ala. Aug. 25, 1904. Hon. R. M. Cunningham, Lieutenant
 and Acting Governor. Montgomery,
 Ala:
 My Dear Sir-I have the honor to acknowledge receipt Of your letter of 2Srd. and in reply thereto beg to say;
 First-No one, to my knowledge, has made affidavits in case of lynching of Reuben Sims, and no warrants have been placed in my hands for execution. Second-I have endeavOred to ascer- tain names of the guilty persons. but have not been able to get any evidence, though I have reason to believe that I know some of the parties who compos- ed the mob. The people in that vi- cinity are like clans to me on the sub ject. I have not made any effort to arrest any one.

TALLADEGA RICHES
COUNTY SHOWS A CONTINUED
 LARGE INCREASE.
In Six Years Tax Assessments of Tal- Iadega County Have Increased Million and a Quarter
 Dollars.

It would appear that the counties of Alabama are trying to outdo each oth- CT in becoming rich and prosperous. Hardly Is an official report filed show ing how q South Alabama County Is thriving and prospering before the dis covery Is made in official circles that some County in North Alabama has equal claims to prosperity and rich ness.
 Only yesterday Assistant Examiner of Public Accounts W. F. Wilkinson filed with the Governor a report from Talladega County in which he declared that the value of property. according to the taxation standard. had, in six years. increased a million and quar- ter dollars. He said furthermore. that the tax assessments of 1904 would this year be over $2oo,Ooo higher than the assessments of last year. The patriotic citizens of Talladega County have q just right to feel gratifed at these statements of Judge Wilkinson which were included in his report up on the books of Tax Assessor II. A. Cook
 In speaking of Mir. Cooks books the Examiner said that he had failed To enter footings on each page of the as- sessment books as required by law. On this account each page was not bal
 
 totals were. however. found to be cor. rect.
 The Examiner found that because of the error of clerk Judge J. E Camp had failed to send to the State Auditor $500 which had been collected for li- cense. As soon as Judge Camps at tentlon was called to the error of his clerk he remitted the amount to the State Treasurer. Otherwise the books of Judge Camp were found to be neat ly and correctly kept.
 As to Superintendent of Education John c. Williams. the Examiner said: He Is a model superintendent. He praised the books and accounts of Mir. Williams.
 Judge Wilkinson also had only words of commendation for the books of Sher- If J. B. Edwards. Tax Collector ]. A Woodward and Circuit Clerk w. H.

 Avery was the murderer of City Mar shall McNelson. He was arrested d. rectly after the killing and lodged in the town calaboose. The arrest was effected by Deputies W. H. Nation and W. H, walker. Their testimony &C., companies the communication of the Sheriff. Both testified that they left the little jail directly after Avery had been locked up. The jail at that timo was surrounded by about 25O people.
 They testified that they heard pistol shot and that when they reached the taiJ the door had been broken open and Avery had been shot to death. A number of we'll known citizens of Cor
 
 testified that they did not know any members of the mob which killed Av- cry. nor did they see anybody attempt to break open the jail or do violence to Avery.
