REVENUE OF STATE
RECEIPTS FOR SIX MONTHS SHOW
 INCREASE.
Earnings by Various Department of Alabama Government are Larger
 Than Ever Before
 Reported.

An increase which will approximate $25.000 or $30.000 in the net earnings of the State of Alabama for the current fiscal year over those of last year, Is estimated from the report of the State Auditor on the first six months of the year, which was announced yesterday. | Last year, the total net earnings of the State were $293,291. This year, 1t Is thought, they will reach the neigh borhood of $325,000.
 In the report, 1t is shown that in every branch of the State government from which revenue is received. there has been a wonderful increase in the l amounts of money received. In all kinds of taxes, the amounts received In the first six months of the present year show large percentage of gains as compared with those of last year. That the net earnings will not exceed the amount named is due solely to the fact, that with the increase in the wealth of the State, and in its revenue, there have been corresponding in- creases in it's expenditures. and the cost of the State Government.
 According to the Auditors report, the total receipts for the first six months of the present fiscal year, which closed April 1, were $2.911,0S2.15.. The entire receipts during the previous fiscal year were $3.353.537.S9, only $442,445.774 more than the income for half of this year.
 The disbursements thus far this year have reached $2,195.717, or $194,645 more than the $2.o0t.072 expended dur ing the first six months of last year.
 The receipts up to May 24, inclusive, reached $3.23S,315 this year as com pared with $2,8s3,167 during the same period last year. It Is expected that the net receipts this year will exceed those of last year by nearly $200,000.
 In the poll taxes. there has been an increase of $27,003.s4 over the $s0,6s5.11 reported last year, the total this year being $117.6SS.95.
 The total general tax last year was $740.ss1.6S, while for the first six months this year 1t has reached $6S0,- 0S9. 36
 Similar increases are shown in the soldier tax and the school taxes. This years record thus far for the soldier tax shows receipts to the extent of $2S4,747, as compared with the $309,2 ,2s5 received during the whole of the pre- vious year, while the six months rec ord this year in school taxes shows re- ceipts of $s52,501, as against the $92s,- 009 of last year.

The Young writers in Fiction.

H. M. Alden in Harper's for May.
 In fiction, the young writer, with spontaneous imaginative creation, whose tastes relishes the concrete worll of nature and humanity about him--all the beauty. mlrth and pathors of it-more than the images of the world conveyed through literary tokens, has from the first an advantage in that he makes upon his readers minds a wholly native impression. He makes himself known directly by showing us the lineaments of his spiritual face, the charm of feature, mood and temper which makes an impression, at our first reading, like that of first seen faces in our real human contacts. Such writers are vital personalities in our literature, They do not need to wait. They may come to us as children come. as soon as they can speak, having only to break with infancy; in their books they grow up before us. giving us plain notice of their adolescence and maturity.

 The history of the Prickett case. as told in the papers filed by the plaintiff, is to the effect that she was married to Luther Prickett in Talladega, Mo- vember 10, 1892. Shortly after the marriage the Prickett family removed to Clay County, where her husband bought piece of land for s200. To- ward the purchase price. the plaintiff declares. she contributed a mule, a SOW and hogs. which were valued at $10g.
 In 1900 the plaintiff and her husband moved to Jefferson County, where she claims, he abandoned her, She found him in Talladega County two years later, and. she says. went to him, but was refused admission to his home. She thereupon brought suit against the husband. asking that he be required to furnish her with support and main tenance, from the property, which, she asserts, she helped him buy. The suit was thrown out of the Clay County Chancery Court because of its being personal suit, in which the property under litigation was. located in another county
