BINDING OF BOOKS.
Tic Transition From Primitive to
Modern Methods.

1t was only when writing was mado
upon separate pieces or sheets of Il
pliablc and perishable material that
binding proper was Invented to hold
the pieces or sheets together and give
strength to them and protection and
beauty. =!
But here we must distinguish. The
pliablc written sheet may be either
rolled or folded, each giving rise to q
form of binding peculiar to itself The
rolled sheet is bound by fastening each
sheet TO the other sideways and rolling
the whole from end to end. the last
sheet serving as IL cover to all the rest
This form of binding Is 10 doubt the
more ancient OF the two, and 1t was for
Il long time in general use. 1t was
used, for example, by the Egyptians
1t was probably invented by thcm-and
1t was used by the Greeks and by the
Romans, and great libraries of rolls
existed for some time after the Chris
tian IRA and many industries were ell
gagged In contributing TO the perfection
of the binding. II has, however, been
superseded for many centuries by the
folded form Of literature, the invention
of which is attributed to Eumencs.

indiscrlminately to Its substitute, the

The folded sheet. or section, as Il is
called, Is bound by simply sewing or
otherwise fastening the parts Of the
sheet to one another Mt the back crease
or fold, and number of sections are
bound by fastening each of them to
some common support Mt the back, so
that when all are sewed or otherwise
fastened they may yet be free to open

Referring again to the interview with Organizer Williams as to Saturday meeting of tn Chiffon County Cotton Association, attention Is called to the following resolution passed there:
 Resolved, That this Association en- dorses the action of the Southern Cot ton Association at Asheville, N. C., in fixing the minimum price of cotton at II cents.
 Resolved. further. That the members be urged, where practicable, not to sell below this figure. and, In no case, 10 take less than 10 cents for their cot ton"
 A resolutica was also passed to se- cure a man in each beat to post notices at ginneries and other public places, looking to the collection of the cents per bale, and for personal work to- wards encouragement of producers to hold cotton for II cents.
 The farmers of Chiffon have com pleted and have in operation in Clanton a ginnery whose capacity can be in- ferred from the fact that 1t has install- ed two sixty horse power engines and boilers. In process of erection is a concrete warehouse (concrete roof and alb, with a 2.500 bale capacity. Side by side with 1t is being erected fertilizer factory.
 In addition there is projected a cot ton oil mill, cotton factory, and, in time. they hope to erect an electric plant and to run electric cars from Clanton to Maplesville especially for the betterment of freight transporta- tion and rates.

MONEY FOR SOLDIERS
AUDITORS OFFICE SENDING WAR;
 RANTS TO COUNTIES.
The State Wfn Distribute More Money This Year Among Its Pension- CTS Than Ever
 Before.

The clerical force of State Auditor T. L.. Sowell yesterday completed prep aration of 15,18S old soldiers war rants for distribution in all the sixty- seven counties Nof the State. The war rants at a late hour yesterday a1ter- noon were in packages ready for to- days express.
 The warrants represent a total ex- penditure this year of s4e2,44O among the disabled veterans and widows Of old soldiers of the Confectionery who were credited to Alabama. It Is the largest annual disbursement in pen sions the State has ever known. The total derived for this purpose under the statutory tax was swelled this year by a special appropriation of the Governor amounting to $10O.6OO. This appropriation is always left to the dis- cretion of the Governor on examining the condition of the State Treasury.
 Although the aggregate of pensions this year is a record breaker, the mum Der of pensioners on the State Is small CT by 800 or, 400 than last years roll There was a heavy reduction In the County rolls because of disqualification by moving out of the State and other reasons prescribed by law.
 The warrants have been expressed to the Probate Judges who will issue them in exchange for receipts. They were sent to the nearest express office to the County seat in every County. Not every County seat has an express office although most of them have the convenience.
 The dibursement of the pension fund has been among four classes of soldiers, to wit: First class, 126 in number drawing each $60; second class. 142 in number, drawing each $50; third class, 16S in number. drawing each $40; and fourth class, 14,702, drawing each $50.

LAW IGNORED IN PERRY
EXAMINER CRITICISES PERSONS
 FOR ESCAPING TAXATION.
Books of County Officials Found to Re Correct By Judge WilkersOn Hut Valuations Are Too
 Low.

In a report submitted yesterday 10 Governor Jelks. Judge W F. Wlkin- son, Assistant Examiner of Pubic Ac- counts. called to task a coterie or m dividuals, firms and corporations Tn Perry County for carrying on business without licenses.
 The examination of the books of Perry County officers led to the report of Judge Wilkinson and his accompa- nying investigations of the license held and property valuations brought the discovery of illegitimate business III the County.
 From the best information obtain able" says Judge Wilkinson, there are dealers in cotton futures, operators or warehouses, coal dealers and one or two corporations besides others doing business subject to license in the coun- ty and who have not taken them out.
 The common remedy for preventing these license escapes Is tax comhis- sioner whose other duties are to raise undervaluations on property for taxa tion. Perry County has no tax com missioner and the chances for getting a good man for this office are said to be rather poor. This especially Tn view of the fact that two or three ap- pointees have tried to fill the require ments of the office in previous years but failed.
 The next resort after the tax com missioner is the Solicitor who could be notified to secure indictments against the non license payers.
 The words of the Examiner on this point are as follows:
 There is a considerable amount ot money due the State In Perry County from firms and individuals doing busi- ness subject to license. From the best information obtainable there are deal CTS in cotton futures, operators or warehouses, coal ,ealers and one or two corporations besides others doing business subject to license in the Coun- ty and have not taken them out. These persons and firms have never applied to the Judge of Probate for license. hence these amounts cannot De chargeo to him under the law.
 There have been two or three back tax commissioners appointed, but neither of them has ever done any thing. Such a state of affairs should not exist in any County. The State is deprived of a part of its revenue and illegitimate business is being done Without back tax commissioner, the only thing left is to call the attention of the Solicitor of that circuit to 1t, as all who do -busin ess subject to- license are liable to Indictment unless they have taken them out.
 Discussing the valuations of Perry County for taxation, Judge Wilkinson reports:
