ers, of WATERFOWL, who is temporar-
lily assigned 10 this department. is
sued an order yesterday directing

nunciation of the increase in assess

was appointed TO investigate charges
made against him in relation to his
fiery speeches. The committee found
him 'guilty and recommended his
pulsion. which was ordered on March
i last by the supreme Regent.
Wilcox denies the power of the
regent to eXpel him on the commit
tees report. and he got an Injunction
ana an order restraining the publica-
lion Of his expulsion in the official
bulletin OF the Royal Arcanum.
Justice Rogers has struck ont the
prohibition.

is HALF MAD
WHEN RESCUED
Another Victim of Courieres
Mine Disaster Alive BeriOn
Lost rs Days.

LENS. France. April 5-One more
victim of the terrible Courrieres mine
disaster has come forth from the mine
alive. He is Auguste Berton. thirty
five years Old. and he was brought IN
by "A rescue party in pit No. ! Of the
Sallaumines vein after suffering the
most ~eXcruciating fortunes for twenty
five days.
Wandering alone among hundreds Of
dead companions and facing horrors.
lie at one time gave up hope and tried
suicide by opening his veins.
While he subsisted on scraps of food
lie found, he suffered much from cold
and was forced TO take garments and
shoes from the dead to keep himself
warm.
The man lost all track of time, he
computing that he had been entombed
only eight days. He had very little
sleep.
The condition Of Berton is pitiful in
the extreme. He is on the verge Of
madness as Il result Of his terrible ex-
perience. The greatest care is being
used in giving him food.
One of the salvage corps was work
ing in "A distant bore when he felt What
he thought was II dead mans hand
touch his shoulder. A voice whispered.
Il am saved" and the workman called
to his fellows. They carried the man
out. He was covered from head TO foot
with Il thick layer Of dust. His beard
was matted with it. After IL stimulant
he recovered and in the hospital re.
counted the story of his experience.
Il was working with my cousin lie
said, when the explosion occurred.
My cousin ran away, and | never saw
him again. There were others, but
they, too. ran away and were lost TO
me. | met several men as | tried to

~ after the explosion. all frightened
and running in every direction. When
| became hungry | found the lunch
bundles that lay beside some of the
dead men. They kept me alive"
The physicians believe that Berton
became delirious for Il time and that
the rigors of starvation brought him
again into sanity.
The news of his rescue spread rapid
ly. and in IL few minutes the pit mouth
was surrounded by throngs. mostly
women, who fought boldly against the
gendarmes and detied them TO use

Taxes Collected Illegally.

Quite a surprise has been sprung on the
county officials of Lauderdale county by
Allison A. Williams, young attorney
of this city, who has discovered what
might be termed an unconscious hold up
game" on their part against the tax
payers of the county.
Prior to 1903 there a law on the
statute books of Alabama to tax all
moneyed capital, that is. all mortgages.
notes, bonds, solvent credits and money
boarded up. The Legislature of 1903 passed
a law requiring a tax of 10 cents on the
500 on all mortgages filed or record. In
a recent decision of the supreme court 1t
declared that the new act repealed the
old law. The court said: 1T will not be
doubted that the legislature in the exer-
else of its authority or power to classify
the subjects of taxation may exempt all
moneyed capital; that is. money lent, SOL
vent credit and other credits of value,
from an ad Valorum tax. These subjects
may be we'll classified as one, but it
would be an arbitrary and unjust CLASH

County Convict Fees.

One of the interesting features of the
report for four years, made this week by
AttorneyGeneral Massey Wilson. is the
largo number of sentences to hard labor
for the counties, and fines. For the vari-
Gus judicial subdivisions of the 1884 con-
victions for the two years ending Septem-
Der 80, 1904 only 1914 went to the peniten-
tiary or to service for the state. OF the
total 1928 were sentenced to labor for the
counties, 15S to Jail and 1927 dismissed
upon payment of fines.
1t will thus be seen that there was an
evident disposition on the part of county
officers to send prisoners for short terms
whenever possible, in order that the coun-
ties might get the results of their labor
rather than the state. This same thing
is evidenced by the large number of con-
Victions which are settled by the pay
ment of fines and serving of jail sem
fences.
This condition of affairs has been re-
ferred to frequently of late by the officers
of the state convict department and the
governor. 1t is pretty well understood
that a bill will be presented to the next
session of the legislature eliminating en-
tirely the county convict system and
placing the work of convicts altogether
under the supervision of the state.
Provision will be made for the payment
of fees and costs which now accrue to
the county officers so that there will be
no difficulty i'm their securing all that IS
coming to Them The fact that the state
has been able to secure a minimum of
returns with the minimum of death rate
has aroused a feeling that these wards Of
the commonwealth should be placed en-
tirely in control of the capital govern
ment.

Thorsbv. December 22.-(Special0-The

Miss Johnsons primary grades were es-
pecialy interesting in all numbers. The
intermediate department, under Miss Left

Miss Nash, the principal, maintained the
best of discipline. besides through the
efforts of her pupils showing training

HANGED by tableaux lights.

Work for Farmers.

There will be opposition to the excess
money received from the tax going to
the agricultural schools in the way out
lined above. 1t is learned that there will
be an attempt made to use this in the
department of agriculture for the seeur-
ing of experts and such other men as
will be able to give the fl, mers expert
mental knowledge of the science of agri-
culture. Along this line one of the CAPT.
tol officials said: II would certainly OPP
pose any measure to give this $4,000 to
the agricultural schools. The place to put
it is in experimental work that will give
the farmers that information which they
need to make the best of their work.
1t is well known to be the intention Of
the incoming commissioner of agriculture
to secure if possible way of giving the
farmers every information possible to
help him along. He is in favor of some
sort of plan for crop reporting that will
not only keep the public posted, but help
the tillers of the soil keep right side up.
1t has not yet been brought out just what
this plan will be, but there are many that
believe that the $4,000 above mentioned
will be enough to go long way in this
direction.
