NO MALFEASANCE FOUND
 AGAINST JUDGE CARGILL

Scottsboro, August 10.-(Special)-As a rumber of representative citizens in this county-friends of C. L. Cargill. late judge of probate of the county, have time and again, in justice to him. requested of your correspondent that a true version of the judges claimed indebtedness to the county be given the public, I will try and give what his home paper had to say in his defense:
 The examiner of the books and accounts of retiring officers of Jackson county made his report last winter and charged that Judge c. L. Cargll was indebted to the county in a sum more than twenty six hundred dollars.
 Inasmuch as a summary of that report was published. we deem it due to Judge Cargill to publish the following:
 The matter of said accounts was nves- tigated by. the court of county commis- sioners assisted by counsel for the court and the accountant. and also by Judge Cargill and his counsel. At the June 190G term of said court a settlement was con cluded On said settlement the court reached the conclusion that Judge Cargill was indebted to the county in the sum of only IT. as follows, towit:
 Fines assessed in county

it ems which probably had been paid but for which receipts had not been found. His counsel argued that Judge Cargill was not liable for fines not collected, especially so in cases where the surities were solvent and liable to pay the same. On decision being reached charging him with said fines his counsel, with his approval de- cided not to further contest this point since the court and counsel through th5 entire investigation had been patient, courteous and fair. In the course of the investigation the court ascertained that the judge had accounted for the money re- ceived from the hire of conviets and for that received from the redemption of lands sold for taxes. and that received from the sales of lands by the state and excluded the charges in connection with these matters as well as the greater amount of all the charges and fixed liability for only the amount aforesaid, It was developed on said investigation that when it became necessary for the county to borrow money to meet accrued inter est on the pike roads bonds Judge Cargill loaned the county his own and induced M. A. Clay to furnish the balance needed at per cent interest. In addition to this it also appeared that when he had the custody of the pike road funds, upon his own personal responsibility, he made and collected from the banks of deposit moro than $3OOO of interest and paid the same to the county without remuneration to himself.
 In its judgment rendered and entered of record at said June term the commission CTS court relieved Judge Carglll from any imputatlon of malfeasance in the ad- ministration of his office.
 The fullest investigation was invited by Judge Cargill. and the same was patiently made through almost endless details, and especially is he grateful that a conclusion was reached mutually satisfactory.

Montgomery. August Special. )--All the offers of the Alabama Division United Sons of Confederate Veterans, as well as the eommander-in-chlef of the en- tire federation, are making arrangements to make the reunion of the Alabama dlvis- ion, in connection with the reunion of the veterans at Mobile late in November a great success. Commander c. W. Duncan of the Alabama Sons, has begun an ex- tensivc correspondence with the camps and individual sons over the state and the responses indicate that things arc going to turn out well indeed.
 The Alabama division has always been active and aggressive. one of the most active of the confederation. and has taken prominent part in history, relief and monument work At this time 1t is spend- ing it's energies in securing money for a monument to the gallant John Pelham. In q few days Commander Duncan will go to Mobile to confer with Chairman Moulton of the Sons committee. and ar range the details of the reunion and the programme
 There are more than forty camps of the Sons in Alabama and the members are going to go 10 Mobile in great numbers. This much has been indicated to Com mander Duncan by the number of letters received. A sponsor will be selected, with the maids, in few days, and the matter now being under consideration.
 Commander Duncan is in full accord with the Mobile members that there should be at least three days of the re- union. He thinks that full time ought to be given for business also that there should be no neglect of the social and personal side. He believes that there should be two business sessions the first two days with joint meeting with the Veterans the second, winding up on the third with a general parade. It Is neces- sary that the Sons and Veterans have a joint session to take up many matters of joint interest.
 The people of Mobile are preparing to offer the visitors the best sort of q time There will be boat excursions and rides over the city in autos and street cars. A trip will be taken to Fort Morgan and the many sights about the city will be taken in.
 Col. Saffold Berney is the chairman of the Mobile general committee, and Col. J. L. Moulton of the Sons committee. These are men fully In touch with the people of the Gulf City as we'll as the Veterans and Sons. pr. Thomas NJ. Owen com mander-in- -chief of this city formerly com mander of the Alabama division, will be there and give the business matters his personal attention.

insurance Opinion.

The Chicago Life Insurance company has not been allo<vad to qualify in Ala bama because it's securities are not of a kind required by the state. In Alabama the laws require that companies doing business in Alabama shall have bonds of their own state, the United States well secured real estate. The following opinion asked of the attorney general was given at the request of Deputy Insur- ance Commissioner A C. Sexton:
 By Attorney General Massey Wilson: To entltle life company created by the laws Of another state to do business in Alabama, it must have on deposit with the proper officers of the state of it's creation, at least s100.000 of United States, Ala bama or bonds of the state of it's creation, or notes or bonds secured by mortgages on real estate of al least double the value of the mortgages. By the terms bonds of this state,' or the state in which the company is organized bonds issued by the state are meant. and not bonds issued by a municipal corporation of the state. Therefore, a nonresident life insurance company which has not the required sum invested in one of the four classes of securities above named, although 1t may have tile required sum invested in muni- cipal bonds of equal value, Is not author ized to do business in this state.
