LIMIT EXEMPT LAND
MEASURE BEING PREPARED
 AGAINST NEGRO SCHOOL.
Representattve-Elect Thompson of Ma- con County Opposes Extension
 of TusEkegee Property With Freedom from Taxation.

Yes, I have a legislative hobby said Hon. Ernest w, Thompson of Tus' kegee, who will represent Macon Coun- tysin the next House of Representa- tives. T shall propose measure tc limit the tax-exempted property oi Booker Washington, and feel more interest in the passage of this bill than any other matter that may come be fore the Legislature"
 MT. Thompson came to Montgomery yesterday morning, and will be in the city until the afternoon train leaves for Tuskegee today. He will be ths youngest member of the next House oi Representatives, but he will be none the Aess aggressive. As he talked oI his pet measure, 1t was plain that MT Thompson has given the subject much study and that he is interested greatly in putting a limit upon the ability of the negroes and their friends accumu- lating large tracts of lands in Macon County at the expense of the State and county governments.
 "Unless the act exempting the Tus- kegee Normal and Industrial School from taxation on its property is re- pealed," said MT. Thompson, "the school will ultimately own the major portion of the property in our county and the percentage of property left from which to draw taxes will not bear the running expenses of the county gov- ernment.
 Tt has been the custom of the school to purchase lands and hold them for investment. finally selling them to nc. gro teachers and others. During the holding period, and when they are ad- Vancing in value, the State and the county dces not get any revenue what ever from them.
 T have-no objection to the exemp- tion of reasonable amount of prop erty owned by any negro school iron, taxation. but when a school with ap~ parentiy limitless resources is acquir- ing property and lands for which it has no use. 1t seems to me that some re- striction should be placed on the States bounty
 "The property of Booker Washing toms school at Tuskesee is valued con servatively at $900,00O, and all of this property is exempted from taxation by a special act of the Legislature. This is too much of concession to the school The concession is altogether out of proportion to the beuefit the State derives from the school.
 When President Eliot of Harvard was at TuskeEee he. said that when Harvard was twenty-five years old if did not own more than twice as much property as these negroes now own! Through the generosity of their Northern benefactors. the negro school continues to acquire property without

 ture on Mission work Through out Mountain Districts
 Methodists Receive Tribute of Praise.

An important conference of the Bap- tist Corresponding Secretaries of the Mission Boards of the Southern States and the General Secretaries is in ses- | sion at the First Baptist Church of Montgomery. This conference of the Secretaries of the Baptist Mission Board Is held annually and by the de nomination is conceded one of the most i prominent of the church institutions. Dr. w B. Crumpton. General Secre- | tary of the Alabama Mission Board, To- cated at Montgomery, and Dr. Charles 4. Stakley, pastor of the First Baptist Church. are the hosts of the occasion. Two sessions of the conference were held yesterday when methods and plans for prosecuting the mission work of the church were discussed, The feature of the Conference was the open meeting last night in the auditorium of the First Baptist Church when Dr. B. D. Gray, of atlanta, secre- tary of the Home Mission BoIrd, spoke on the Baptist Situation in the South and the strength of the work" and Dr. A. Brown, of North Carolina, secretary of the mountain school work of the Baptist Mission Board, spoke ore the conditions of the people of the noun tainous districts Of the southern States, from an educational and a religious standpoint.
 Talks of IIIiterate.
 In his address, Dr. Brown confined himself to the conditions of the poor, illiterate and ignorant classes of people .of the Mountains, and Jr the phase or mossion work necessary to meet the needs of those people. Dr. Gray went further, and embraced in his address, every phase of the mission work of the Baptist church, and declared that from Maryland to Mexico there is an spti- misttc feeling concerning the mission work of the church, such as has never been before in the history of the church.
 Some of the facts and figures enum- erated by Dr. Gray concerning the per centage of membership of the differ- ent churches of the South, were inter- esting. Half the religious forces of the South are of the Baptist denomina- tion, he said, and the Methodist denomi- nation is the only church that ap- breaches the Baptist in point of num- bers.
 Dr. Gray paid a tribute to the Metho- dist denomination that was glowing, and of the zeal and courage and spirit of progression that controls the Metho- dist organization, he spoke in most eloouent terms. He said n quoting fig ures on church membership, that the Methodist and Baptist together compos- ed nineteenth of the religious element of the, South.
 Tribute to AEethOdists.
 He further stated that while the Baptist were the stronger of the two denominations in the South that the Methodist were the stronger in the North. The Baptist by reason of num- bers, have religious precedence in the South, and as body of people, from a financial standpoint, represent one- third of the wealth of the South.
