ERRORS IN CLEBURNE
PROBATE JUDGE AND ASSESSOR
 MADE MISTAKES.
Examiner W. F. Wilkinson Files Re- ports on Two Counties-An Other Officials Made Ex-
 cellent Records.

In examining the books of the of- ficials of Cleburne county, Judge W. F. Wilkinson, Examiner of Public Ac- counts, found that Probate Judge A A. Hurst and Tax Assessor William Harper had allowed one or two over- sights in the performance of their of- ficial duties.
 In his report which was filed at the State Executive Department yesterday Judge Wilkinson drew attention to the fact that Judge Hurst had failed to collect all the money that he should have collected from the two dispensa- ries in Cleburne county. From these two dispensaries Judge Hurst at the beginning of tho year only collected license for the first quarter when un- der the law he should have collected for the entire year.
 As to Tax Assessor Harper. the Ex- aminer found that he had not sent in to the Auditor the Tax Commissioners supplement- The supplement. which was not reported, contained an assess ment of $13.000 worth of real estate, the tax on it amounting to $s5. This amount was charged against the as- sessor. In all other respects the books of the officials were reported neatly and correctly kept.
 The other officials of the county were complimented for the neat way in which they kept their books and the correct way in which they dis charged the duties of their offices. The officials so compiimented weres Circuit Clerk P. H. Groves. Sheriff L. E. Adams, and Superintendent of Educa- tion A. Fl. Glasgow.
 Judge Wilkinson has also submit ted to the Executive Department re- ports upon the books of Clay county g officials. This was the county of Pro- bate Judge Whatley who disappeared while charges were pending that he had defrauded many indigent Confed- crate soldiers out of the small pen sions which the State was paying them.
 If Judge Whatley was guilty as charged the style of performing official duties and of keeping books has great ly improved in Clay county. The ex- aminer could find nothing in the books of the county officers at which to level criticism. They were neatly and cor rectly kept and they were without ir- regularlties.
 The officials who were the subjects of this gratifying report are Superin- tendent of Education J. w. Jackson, Sheriff W. D. Mayo. Tax Assessor J. T. Burkhead. Tax Collector A. Bell Cir cult Clerk R. W. Mellon and Probate Judge S. J. Gay.

SHE WANTS A DIVORCE
CONVECTION COUNTY WOMAN
 WRITES TO GOVERNOR.
Odd Communication Says She Applies
 to Headquarters" for Quick Separation from Her Bring Spouse.

There is a woman in Covington county who wants a divorce, wants it badly and wants 1t at once. She has written the Governor of Alabama with view of securing a marked down di- vorce. guaranteed to stand wear and tear, for immediate delivery.
 Somehow the Covington county wo- man has gotten the impression that the Governors office Is headquarters for, divorces and out of tie office she may obtain any old sort of a divorce. The lady wants a cheap divorce, but she doesn't want a shoddy one. She was evidently of the impression that when her letter reached the Cover nor's office they would take down the price list of divorces and examine the stock they had on hand. Then she evil dently expected the Governor would write her that he had on hand a real nice divorce, which in consideration of the fact that 1t was out of season. he would let her have at a bargain coun- ter price.
 It is easily seen from the letter that she doesn't want any divorce that won't do the work. or any divorce that won't wear we'll. She plainly gives the impression that if she can't get a 8citoiuc, tHOTOu8u-6Oih6 uiNOfce Sue doesn't want any. She doesn't want any divorce which will allow her hus- band to have a comeback at hcr.
 The woman in her correspondence with the Governor shows a manifest unfamiliarity with spelling and Eng fish grammar, but her meaning Is suf- ficiently clear. The letter she writes although the spelling is off color and the sentences are marvelously and wondrously made. leaves no doubt as to what she Is writing about.
 The envelope was addressed to the Governor of Alabama. Inside 1t was ad- dressed ITO the judge of Montgomery Ala"
 This is the letter:
 sir. have take pleasure of address you with these few lines to Ask you what Divorce cost me at Head Quar- ters in Montgomery. Yo will please Let me Know concerning all About 1t as ] wants a Divorce at onse. The reason I write to Head Quarters I will be please to here from yo at once.
