Pension Fund Falls Short.

Pension Commissioner J. w. Lind
sey has discovered that he has been
mistaken in his calculations as to the
deficit in the pension fund.
He has concluded his part of the
work Of paying pensions, and instead
of coming out almost clear with the
$86O,OOO appropriation, he finds that
he has on hand a deficit of $19,139.
In other words it will take just that
amount to pay all the pensioners
whose applications have been approx
ed, in addition to the appropriation
made by the legislature.

BY Direct Taxation.

Some weeks ago Morgan county
held an election for bonds to build
a new court house in Madison, but
through apathy on the part of the
qualified voters of the county and the
strong stand taken by some prominent
citizens the bond issue was defeated.
The commissioners of the county
have now decided to build one by di-
rect taxation. The cost of the new
building will be $4,000. The plan has
been accepted and bids for the work
will be advertised at once.

 came Into the institute library to ask
 my advice. She said that in her home town, where some 2.O00 persons lived recently a committee of the towns people came to her to ask the use of basement of a building to be turned over to a class of rough and roWdy
 boys who frequented the streets and
 are extremely boisterous and unpleas- ant to the passerby through their loaf ing habits. Mrs. Morgan felt that If this building should be used at all 1t
 should be done in the right Eay. So she came to us to ask our advice as
 to some plan whereby we could handle this class and remedy the evil. We suggested the formation of a boys club, outlining the scope and manage

SOUTHERN WOMAN IN CHARGE

OF BRITISH 1NSTIIUIE'
 Miss Annie Kendrick Walker has the following interesting article in The Birmingham Age-Herald:
 Mrs. Mary Rankin Cranston of New York, librarian of the American Insti- tute for Social Service, who is now in charge of the British institute, having been called to England a few weeks ago, is from the South, and member of one of the most prominent Southern families. She is a sister Of MT. J- w. Rankin of Birmingham, and has many friends here and elsewhere in the South who are interested in her work.
 Mrs. Cranston is perhaps more closely in touch with social and in- dustrial progress throughout the world than any other woman in the country, and she has attracted to her methods of work not alone the phil anthropists of America, but those Of England, particularly that class of working philanthropists who go to the very heart of social problems.
 In reference to Mrs. Cranston's mis- sion abroad and her work in this country, a recent issue of The New York Globe said:
 She has received a distinct compli- ment in being called Co England to engineer the formation of the British Institute of Social Service. which will model it's work much after the plan of the American institute.
