LARGE INCREASE IN
 THE AMOUNT OF TAXES

According to the books of the county tax collector nearly twenty per cent more taxes were paid into the coffers of the state for state and county taxes In Jeffer- son county in 1904 than during the year 190s
 The receipts in this department during the tax year of 1904. ending September 30. 1905, were over $6S5,000, In 1903 the amount of money received from the same source was about $5S0,OO0. This does not include poll taxes.
 The sum collected during the past year from poll taxes was only $l2,00o. In 1903 the poll taxes paid amounted to over Sl5,000. The decrease in the number of polls paid is accounted for by the fact
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-04

that this was an off year in elections.
 The poll tax books will be open untii February l. 1906. After that date the time will have passed for paying poll taxes assessed for this year. Unless eiti- zens who are subject to poll taxes pay up by that time and procure receipts they will not be qualified to vote in the primaries and general elections to be held next year.
 It Is expected that receipts from the poll taxes will be unusually heavy this year as national. state and county elee- tons are to be held In Alabama next year.
 So far only three citizens of Jefferson county have paid their polls

MILK STILL SHOWS MUCH IMPROVEMENT Quality of Milk Sold Last Month Was Excellent 4.3 FIR CENT WAS FAT MIX Inspector Duncan Says That There Is Still Room for Consider,
 able Improvement-Talks
 of Supply.
4.3 FIR CENT WAS FAT

The milk consumed by the people of Birmingham during the month of septem- Der contained 4s per cent of fat This is Indicated by the tests made of samples procured from fifty dairymen and given careful examination by the city inspec- tor of meats and milk. F. M. Duncan. chief inspector. considers this good showing and says he Is gratified to see that the product retains it's improvement in the chief qualty. He has prepared a list, containing the names of fifty deal- CTS who handle milk, and showing the analysis of every sample taken. This will be submitted to the City Council tonight in his report, the first since he was in- ducted into office recently. In addition to the comparative statement of analysis, MT. Duncan will submit a list of twenty one dairies inspected during September. with brief comments on the condition at each one.
 Duncan Discusses Supply.
 MT. Duncan has the following to say in regard to the milk:
 While I feel that there Is an appreci- able and decided improvement both in the quality of milk that Is being supplied to the trade. and in the sanitary condition of the datriss as a whole, yet there is still room for much improvement in the gen. eral condition necessary in making our {ua ct rla+ ha nd 1t is hoped by continuous efforts to get the necessary improvements made with as much expediency as possible.
 "All of the samples of milk last month were thoroughly tested for chemical adul- iteration. with negative results The in- spector has been constantly on the watch for such practice as this.
 "Any substance added to milk, either as liquid CT salt is an adulteration and when milk has been adulterated it ceases to be milk, and is then an artificial prep aration.
 T am sure that when the public wishes to buy milk that they want milk, pure and unadulterated, and not an artificial preparation, called milk.
 Contrary to Reason.
 Tt is contrary to reason and sanity to argue that milk that has had some for eien product added to it is as good and wholesome to the human system In It's various processes of constructive metabol- ism as is pure milk, but 1t seems that some parties have sen fit to set forth this argument
 'If there are dealers doing business in the city that think that they can sell adulterated milk or do otherwise as they please, as some of them have said that they would do, I think in a very short time that they will see that it will be necessary for them to mend their ways.
 with q continuous effort to secure a more strict sanitary regulation of the dai- ries and a specific enforcement of the law in every case of the violation of the requirements I feel sure that within a very short time that there will still be shown a great improvement in the milk supply of this city.
 "One dairyman. F. Goldstein, was ar rested this month for violating the milk ordinance by selling milk in the city after his license had been revoked, and was fined $50 in police court"

 On her return today she was informed that they had been moved to a house in the vicinity of Avenue and Nine- teenth street. There, she was informed, according to the story told the police. that the goods had been attached for house rent due by Franklin.
 She and her father returned home in the afternoon. The young woman's father denied the assertion that Franklin is said fo have said to wife No that his mar riage with Miss Smith was illegal. MT. smith said the records would prove that they were legally married.

 At the. preliminary hearing shortly af- ter the killing Fitzgerald was released on bond
 The case has created considerable in- terest. owing to the prominence of both Fitzgerald and Sullivan. The young men boarded at the same place and from the evidence it appears that they had had some differences before the tragedy oc- cured.
 Miss Beulah Young one of the wit nesses in the case. testified as follows: MT. Sullivan said to me, If you leave this house with Fitzgerald I will kill you both.'"
 Tn his testimony yesterday the defen- dant stated that Sullivan was advancing on him with brass knucks when he shot"
