FEW KICKS ARE MADE
ON TAX ASSESSMENTS
Gadsden Soon to Have a New Apart

Walk to Birmingham.

Gadsden, August 2l.-Cspeeial.)-The
board of county commissioners have ex-
perienced very little trouble this year,
by the tax assessments made by the as
SCISSOR of this year, Notwithstanding that
the assessments show greater increase
than has ever been known. Only one ap-
peal was made from the valuation made
by the assessor and this was denied by
the commissioners. The work of going
over the books was finished today and the
total valuations will be announced in a
few days.
Agents for one of the largest depart
ment store corporations in the south are
negotiating for site upon which they
will erect a modern building at once. The
building will be ready for occupancy not
later than January of next year. The
parties interested have been looking over
the field for sometime and they are sat
isfied that their venture will be a sue
cess. Thousands of dollars are spent in
Birmingham and other nearby cities
which should be spent at home and such
an enterprise as proposed would be well
coined.

T. ]. Hurley, who has been running for
sheriff of this county, subject to the ac-
ton of the democratic primary on the
9th of this month, has withdrawn from
the race. This leaves only three candi-
dates in the field, but the race. as before,
lies between Long and Higgins. 1t has
been reported here that Shepherd would
probably come out of the race, but so far
no announcement has been made to that
effect, and his name is being printed on
the county ticket. Hurley gives as his
reasons for Withdrawing from the fight
that in the matter of appointment of man
ayers in the different precincts he got no
representation or that he failed to get
the representation that he was entitled
to- He also states thai the race seems
to have narrowed down to two men, and
that charges have been made that money
is being used by both sides. Hurley cam
not indorse these methods, and says that
If he had money to spend, he would not
use it in that way.
