Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Jan. 23,
 Willett Warner and Jack Fontaine, the two alleged fakirs who presented bogus checks to two Selma merchants for goods purchased and received change Saturday, were brought back to Selma early this morning from Bir- mingham, where they were arrested yesterday.

 The alleged green goods men were brought to Selma from Birmingham on an early morning train by Policeman Moseley, who went to Birmingham as soon as the Selma Police Department was apprised of the capture of the men, Officer Moseley was accompanied by a MT. Eskridge. salesman in one of the stores worked by the mysterious stran- gers. They were arrested in Birming- ham in restaurant a few minutes af- ter they arrived there.
 Warren and Fontaine are young men of good appearance and address. prob- ably 23 or 24 years old Both are we'll dressed, and they appear to be we'll educated.

The most valuable piece of property in the city of Montgomery is the building of the First National Bank on Commerce Street. according to the as- sessment books of Montgomery County.
 There are in all probability other pieces of property which are worth more money. although the assessment of the First National Bank building is placed at $127,00o. which Is the high est assessed item on the tax books. But the bank building is assessed at it's full value or at its actual cost IS termed its books value.
 There is hardly another building in the business section of Montgomery that is not worth more than its assess ed value. But the bank building is put in as part of the capital stock of the bank. And for this circumstance it IS put down at exactly what it cost 10 construct it.
 If it had not been for this condition, the bank building would probably have been assessed at about half its value or little above half its value, as other buildings and other pieces of real estate are assessed in Montgomery County.
 Same as Other Counties.
 The County of Montgomery is not different from other counties of Ala bama, and it's property Is assessed ike the property of other counties; that is. at about half it's actual value. There are stores along Dexter Avenue assess ed $7,O00 which probably could not be bought for double the money, and it is safe to say that hardly store within two blocks of Court Square could be bought for its assessed figure with d 25 per cent increase
 It is just to say. however, that what Is true of Montgomery County proper ty in reference to assessments is true of other counties of the State. There have been some recent increase in the county's assessment but no large or sweeping raise of tax valuations. Since the new Constitution went into effect there has been a steady effort to have

 Negro Tax Payers.
 The number of negro taxpayers of Montgomery would surprise the aver age man. /And some of them have very neat pieces of property.
 The heaviest negro tax payer Of Montgomery is William Watkins who pays taxes on ss,55o. In the assess- ments the color line is not drawn and the negro has the same chance as the white man. So 1t Is safe to say that Watkins has over s15,o0o worth of property.
 Other negroes who pay taxes on con- siderable property are Charlie Sterrs. assessed at $6,l00. Rev. A. J. Stokes at s7,o0o, Frank N. Lowe. se.so0: John E. Johnson. sl.soo; John N. Brown. s7,530, and William Hill, $4.0o0. An Advertiser reporter yesterday went carefully through the books in Assessor Eubanks's office. and jotted down the assessment of the distinctive business section of Montgomery. The list compiled Included the property im- mediately around Court Square. Prop erty on Dexter Avenue as high as the postoffice. as far north as Commerce Street and as far south as Church Street is included in the list here giv- en. These figures are what the assess ment books carry. It is not to be thought that the property can be bought at the assessment figures. Some of the property. in fact a great deal of the property, could hardly be bought at any figure.
