Col. H. R. Shorter, Deputy Jnsur- ance Commissioner of Alabama. has re. turned from New York. where he went for the purpose of investigating the condition of the Mutual Reserve lnsur- ance Company. Deputy shorter aiso took a look-in on the affairs of the Equitable Society.
 Deputy Shorter says he did not un- dertake to assist in the purgfng of the Equitable bunch, but held brief in- terview with President Paul Morton, who sought to quiet the anxiety Of the policy holders in Alabama.
 A lengthy report on the condition of the Mutual Reserve Company will be made to Commissioner McDavid In the next day or two by Colonel shorter. This promises to be of special interest to policy holders in this State and a large number of prospective policy. holders who have frequently applied to the ofilce of the Commissioner here for important Information. The report will consist in 2 great measure of answers to long, list of interrogatorfes which were propounded to the head of the company. Incidentally. answers to a number of insurance fundamentals, be. ing definitions of insurance terms and expOsitions of the workings of big com panies.
 It is expected that the report will be put in pamphlet form and issued over the State. Colonel Shorter says that he visited the of1ce of Commissioner Hendricks. at Albany. N Y, but found that he was absent and did not have another opportunity for an interview.

MONEY SAVED HIM.

There Is something incongruous, to say the least of 1t, about the case or Johan Hoch, the murderer of wives. had murdered one or more of his wives, and as far as can be seen he had a fair trial and was justly convicted. He desired to appeal his case, but had not enough money to pay the costs of securing the appeal He was to have been hanged last Friday. and up to the hour when he might have been hanged, if the sheriff had seen proper to exe- cute the sentence at the earliest time allowed by law, the case appeared hopeless, but he delayed and that saved the criminal. Almost with the rope around his neck the money was pro- vided and he was granted reprieve. We believe the smallest amount that would save him was five hundred dol lars. --'
 Here comes up a question of ethics. it seems to us. If the man is really guilty is it right for his execution to be stopped with a few hundred dollars? ! ne IS really lHuoCeHI WoulU IL HdNo been right from any point of view to allow him to be hanged merely because he lacked a little money? Looking at it either way. justice was delayed by the use of money or an innocent man would have been hanged because he hadn't money to purchase his life. No one can foretell what will be the re- suit of the appeal. He may finally es- cape, or he may again be sentenced and eventually hung, but there is no doubt that his life has been saved by money.

A Word to Panicky People.

The one case of yellow gever in Mont- gomery means absolutely nothing, SO a we'll known man, and a man who has been through two epidemics in Mont gomery. Recent discoveries have proven beyond a doubt that yellow fever is caused by mosquito bites. The one case of fever in Montgomery was brought to the city from Louisiana and was not brought by mosquitoes. The case is now behind screens in the emer- gency hospital. There is absolutely no chance for mosquitoes to be inoculated from the case in question. According ly there is no chance for spread of the disease. If panicky people would ments l have no idea that Montgomery will be more than temporarily affected by the case. If they start sprint out of the city 1t will seriously impair the on the high road to success. Don't let the one case worry you"

Violating Sunday Law.

The Birmingham Age-Herald of yes terday had the following:
 Some of the saloon Keepers of Bir- mingham are in danger of losing their licenses if they continue to violate the Sunday law, or to aid others in doing so.' said Judge Feagin yesterday in connection with the trials of several in his court on that charge.
 "A saloon keeper who is caught vio- lating the city ordinance twice places himself in position to have his license revoked, and several of them have al- ready been caught once. The next time their license will be taken away from them.
 Some of the saloon men are resort ing to various methods to dispose of their wet goods OH Sunday. For in- stance. they will let a negro have few dozen bottles of beer, probably a cask of beer and several pint bottles of whiskey to be sold on Sunday; The and sells 1t to his friends on Sunday. Not only Is he violating the law. but matter is one to which the better class of saloon men do not lend themselves and they should aid in preventing the others from doing so."

Imuroyemeuts at Jail,

T am gratified to see that the Board of Revenue of Montgomery County has at last realized the vital necessity of impr oving the Montgomery County jail," said well known man yester
 day. The jail has been one of the few eyesores of Montgomery. It has not only been an eyesore but disgrace to the county and think no one realized 1t and deplored 1t more than the Sher- if. MT. Waller, Jailer McLemore and his deputies have done all in their pow CT to make the jail as bearable as pos sible. But the task was beyond hu- man agencies, The jail building wouldn't allow 1t. But with the im- provements contemplated, I believe that there will be no further trouble and I know there are not two more relieved men in Montgomery than the sheriff and the tailer."

Government to Cooperate with Citi-
zens in Promoting the Culture.
In the Netherlands a committee has
been formed for the promotion of the
culture of cotton in the Dutch colonies,
according to a report from United
States Consul Pitcairn. The Dutch
government is reported to have prom
ised its support and assistance. A re-
port recently published by the commit
tee had annexed to it as exhibits copies
Of letters from Surinam containing in
formation on the result of culture, by
way of experiment. of sea island and
upland cotton. Samples accompanying
such letters furnished proof of the
possibility of successful culture
Experiments in the culture of cotton
have been made on the island of Java
also, two different species having been
planted Of which one is domestic and
the other was imported from the Unit
ed States in 1861. The latter is said
to have a longer staple than the for
mer. The exports of cotton from the
Dutch East Indies in the year 1902
amounted to $500 tons, of which al
most one-half was of Jayanese growth.
The administration of the residency
of Samarang, the chief center Of the
cotton culture, is promoting and pro-
tecting the interests Of the cotton
planters in every respect. The gov
eminent has placed at the disposal Of
the said administration the sum of ST.
41G, to be used as loans and advance
ments to the native population for i'm
provements and extension of the cot
ton culture.
Another report has been received
from Paramaribo, in which it is said
that extensive experiments are also
being made in that district.
The Dutch committee, the expert
ments having now sufficiently adj
vanced intends to establish a perma-
nent business office.

Wishing to get even with him she
consulted him about drafting her will.
AS she was a very wealthy old lady
without near relatives, she had many
charitable associations to benefit, and

much patience, skill and time. Among
the provisions she made generous
beuuest to this lawyer and nominated
him executor.

smallest sum he could have properly
charged would have been $500.
The old lady marched home with
her will. set herself to work, copied It
out carefully word for word, leaving
