MIR. CONAN WRONG.
COTTON wAREHOUsEMEN NOT
 SUBJECT TO TAX.
City Attorney Holds That Only Bales Stored are to bs Paid for and
 Matter is Closed.

Conclusions, reached some five weeks ago by Mayor Teague and City Attorney O. P. Mcintyre. regarding the position taken by City License Inspector J. G.. Cowan, on the cotton warehouse H. ceflse tax. were given out yesterday from the office of the Mayor.
 By the opinion of the City Attorney. which guides the Mayor me cotton warehousemer of Montgomery are not required to pay the license tax of one and half cents per bale on stored cotton belonging to them.
 It will be remembered that Inspec- tor Cowan felt convinced that the cotton warehousemen were due the tax to the city on their own cotton. He wrote letters to the warehousemen requesting them to report this cotton and pay the tax. but. on their failure to report or pay after due notice. he subsequently reported the entire mat ter to Mayor Teague. MT. Teague, In turn, referred the matter to the City Attorney for an opinion.
 MT. Mcintyre says that the ordinance places tax of one and a half cents on leach bale of cotton stored on the account of another person. other than the warehouseman, and that if the title of the cotton passed to the warehouse prior to the time 1t was delivered at the warehouse. 1t was not subject to license tax.
 The decision, therefore, puts an end to the matter and places 1t where 1t was before the license inspector stir red up the question. The warehouse men will not have to pay the tax on personal cotton.

 TWO CONNECTS.
Jim Morgan of Lee and Jim Pitts of Macon are Given Their Free
 dom by Executive.

A pardon and parole were issued by Governor JelkS yesterday acting upon recommendations made by the Board of Trustees.
 The pardon was issued to Jim Nor gan of Lee county, who is serving a two years sentence on conviction of assault with intent to murder. while the parole was ordered in the case of Jim Pitts of Macon county. who is also serving two years, for having committed bigamy
 In assigning his reasons for Nor gan pardon, Governor Jelks said:
 This man was convicted of the crime of assault with Intent to mur- der. Eight members of the jury cer- tify that if they had known at the time of the trial what they knew when they signed this statement, they would have brought in a verdict of not gull ty. Many citizens of the county. and 1 good citizens, particularly of the neighborhood in which the offense was committed, do not believe that Morgan was guilty of any offense at all. The Board of Pardons expresses very grave doubt of his guilt. It is or dered that a pardon issue to him" Morgan was convicted and sentenced in the spring time of this year Him Pitts, the other beneficiary of | the Governors order yesterday. is a Macon county negro, who was con- victed in the fall term of 1905. In signing his parole. the Governor said:
 This man pleaded guilty to the crime of bigamy. He was certainly technically guilty of the offense, as he pleaded guilty to It. He married second time, evidently because he thought he had a divorce from his first wife. He is an ignorant negro. The trial judge and solicitor recom- mend his pardon on the ground that he did not believe he was committing any offense against the law.
 "The county officers join in the ap- plicatfon for clemency. It IS ordered that parole Issue to him. dependent upon his future law-abiding conduct. and on the further condition that ne taLa care of his legal wife and chill drau
