ROREX SENDS MONEY
TAX COLLECTOR OF JACKSON SET
 TILES WITH AUDITOR.
Sharply Criticised by Examiner Sed- berry, He Remits $l1,702.35 for December Collections Without
 Any Explanation.

State Auditor J. M Carmichael yes terday received a remittance of $11,- 762.35 from Tax Collector W. D. Rorex of Jackson County, who was so warmly criticised in a report of January 26 by Capt. G. F., Sedberry, Assistant State Examiner, to Governor Jelks. The re- port alleged that Collector Rorex, when the Examiner visited Jackson County, had some $S,OO0 or more on deposit in a local bank when 1t should have been sent to the Treasurer promptly on col lection.
 The amount received yesterday is be- lieved to represent taxes and other collection by MT. Rorex for December and a portion of the current month, al- though there is no explanation that the State Auditor could find. The Col lector was simply given credit for the remittance and perhaps later statements will verify the sources from which the money came.
 One of the most unreserved criti cisms on record was that against Col lector Rorex when Captain Sedberry re- ported on the methods of that officer. It was regarded as quite a coinci- dence that MT. Rorex should be made the subject of arraignment so soon af- ter the salty reports on the books of other officers in the county. It was charged that he did not act according to law when he delayed sending in all moneys as rapidly as collected

WILL BUILD RURAL SCHOOLS.
Madison and Bullock Counties Accept
 Mfr. Hill's OfTer.

Hon. Isaac w. Hill, State Superin- tendent of Education, yesterday reeeiv- ed acceptances from the counties of Madison and Bullock of the proposition to receive aid in the erection of ruUal school houses on the plan outlined by the Department of Education a few days ago The county superintendents of these counties have put in an appli- cation for $1O0 each to the State Su- perintendent to help built school hous- es in the country.
 The $100 is one of ten like amounts that will be disbursed to the county boards of the first ten counties which pledge a sum that will be sufficient to build a modern one or two story school house according to plans fur nished by the Department of Education. The $1, 1,0O0 was some time ago given by the Peabody fund to the State Su- perintendent of Education to be dis- bursed as he saw fit for the benefit of county school improvement. He an nounced the plan of offering $10O to the counties first subscribing the nee essary money to combine with the standing contribution and pay for the buildings. The money will be paid through the county Superintendents of Education and they will collect the subscriptions or other money that may accrue by any action of the boards of trustees in this matter.
 It is believed that there will be more responses to the rural school offer in the near future.

 tigmfiam Of Account.

State Examiner John T. German yes terday made reports to the Governor on the books and accounts of officers Of Greene and Sumter counties, in which only small errors are set forth. In the accounts of w. K. Pickens, Circuit Clerk of Sumter county. 1t is alleged that the county owes to the State Treasurer a total of &97.65 of removal bills and solicitors fees which have not been collected.
 Mir. German says Mir. Pickens prom ised to collect the full amount and by the next meeting of the Board of Coun- tv Commission will be able to remit it The debt includes S30.15 for re- nloval of prisoners and $67.50 for sol tcitor's fees.
 Tn examining the books of P. B. Jar man, Probate Judge of Sumter county, Examiner German found that he owed 10 the State $2 of mortgage fees, but on the attention of the officer being called to the error he promptly remitted. It was further detected that the Probate Judge had collected in one instance only S25 of charter fees when he should have collected $50. He made the collection of the remainder of the faes and has remitted.

It was his cus- tom. according to the evidence. to go from house to house in his efforts to dispose of the goods. He said that he was a sea-going fireman by occupa- ton and had served in that capacity for number of years.
 At the trial yesterday afternoon AL len admitted that he had been peddling but asked the court to dismiss him that he might again join the navy for four years as fireman. Acting Recorder Ruth informed him that his request would be impossible to comply with, but he told the defendant that if he was not satisfied with the finding of the court he might appeal to higher tribunal
 At this juncture, Allen became excit- cd and expressed his indignation by exclaiming that he would appeal his case by committing highway robbery as soon as he has served out his time.
 Allen will have to work 156 days for the fine imposed upon him. He will be closely watched after he is released.

MT. Jackson Will Solicit Subscriptions
 For PrOteetOry.

Rev Crawford Jackson of Atlanta, Chairman of the Interstate Juvenile Committee. who Is here seeking to raise funds for a general Southern Children's Protectory, spent yesterday in calling upon a number of Montgomery's lead ing citizens with a view to securing subscriptions for the cause.
 Several persons have already volun- tarily signiied that they will give to- ward the movement. The mass meeting held at the Court Street Methodist Church Sunday night seems to have struck a popular chord and citizens appear to be interested in the work which Mir. Jackson has in charge.
 To-day I was simply paving the way for subscriptions" said MT. Jackson last night. ''and I spent the larger DOT tion of my time in calling upon mum. Der of Montgomery's most prominent citizens. Tomorrow I will probably re- ceive and solicit subscriptions.

 This was the startling utterance m the Recorders Court room yesterday afternoon of Charles E. Allen, a white nan. convicted by Acting Recorder '. |.

COSTLY DIAMOND BY MAIL.
Cullinane Stone Sent from South
Africa by the Post Before
War Peril.

Everybody likes a diamond
story, and the history of the fam
GUS Cullinane diamond is told in
the Boston Herald. Some months
ago the world was astounded by
the finding of this stone, and it has
convinced experts that the South
African mines have yet in store
many whose weight may be ex
pressed in pounds troy and not in
carats.
It is not generally known how
this stone was sent to England
just as the mail for Europe was
being closed at the Johannesberg
post Office an ordinary-looking
packet, addressed to firm in Hat
ton gardens, London, was handed
in at the window to be registered
1t weighed a little over a pound
so the charge of a penny a hall
ounce and two pence extra fol
registration was paid, and the
packet was stamped, sealed and
thrown into the bag along with
other registered parcels for the
mail boat. Nobody knew, apart
from the post Office authorities,
that the ordinary looking little
bundle had been insured fol
$2,5OO,OO0. Not one of the clerks
or officials dreamed they wers
handling what was literally worth
a kings ransom.

tian Police association, estab-
Iished in 1883, which has now
branches in connection with most
Of the police forces Of the United
Kingdom as well as in the colonies
and dependencies, and some in the
United States. Its object is the
promotion of the temporal and
spiritual welfare Of all policemen

ings and meetings for the study
of Gods Word, and the culture Of
the spiritual life, and also the el
cOuraging Of total abstinence and

was especially impressed with
the remarks of Sergt. Wheeler of
the Strand police station, London,
who said: "a policeman's daily
experience is not conducive to
high standards of moral living.
They are brought so constantly in
contact with vice and crime, and
they see so much of the artificial.
ity and sham of human nature,
that many of them are apt to lose
all confidence in purity and truth.
But a policeman can do more than
lock a man up. He can arrest q
man in his sins. Some time ago I
saw a man trying to get into a
house in the early morning-not
his own house. He was too drunk
to know the difference, and ! took
him to the lookup, but on the way
| spoke to him about the folly Of
drink, and in his cell l knelt with
him and prayed that God might
give him power over his evil hab-
its. When that man came out he
hunted me up and told me that /
had given him a new lease of life
and that he had resolved never to
touch liquor any more and to be
an upright man. Islately visited
him IN his home, and his wife told
me that the home which used to be
a little corner Of perdition be
cause of the drunken habits of the
husband was now a corner of par.
