 any more than he would have to pay a gambling debt. Walsh's defense was based solely on his antitrust argument and the courts decision was in his favor.

 From the Wireerass.
STATE HAD HOT SABBATH

Montgomery, June 25.-(Special.)- In re- porting on the books of the probate judge of Limestone county, George Ma lone, assistant state examiner, calls at tention of the governor to a number of failures to collect licenses in the county. Ut is clear" says Captain Sedberry, that these persons are doing business in plain violation of the revenue laws of the state I respectfully suggest that the attention of the solicitor, both state and county, be called to this matter, that steps may be taken by them to prose cute the parties named, and that they be required to pay license for doing bus mess the same as other parties'
 Of this matter the examiner says fur ther: Just why these parties have not paid license l do not know. l am in- formed by Judge Malone that they nave failed to pay and in some instances have refused to pay, even after notice, and that he does not consider it his business to try to force them to do so. I am also informed that the county has no tax con- missioner at present and there seems to be difficulty in getting a man to serve
 The following is the list of firms which the examiner thinks ought to pay licenses do not, with the amount of capital stock: Henry Warten H. B. Malone, warehouse; c. D. Glaze, E. J. Russell, A. M. Cart wright cotton buyers; J. W. Tillman &s Co, horse dealers; Athens Cotton Mill company, $10, 600; Greenbrier Ginning com pany, sS0OO Limestone Hosiery company, $15,0oO; Planters Gnnery company, $60oO; Athens Realty company.
 Sheriff E. T. Puryear is charged with $2.26 which he collected from the state when it should have been. collected of the county. It is found that because of the failure of the circuit judge to sen tence a prisoner in one case for costs the state will lose d solicitors fee of $SO.
 The other officers who were checked up, all correct, were Circuit Clerk J. D. Clem, Tax Collector J. M. Russell, Superinten- dent of Education w. H. Mcclellan; ex- Tax Assessor Perry Henderson.
 Pardon Granted.
 Ed Brown a negro convict of Talladega county, has been pardoned by the gov ernor because of his illness with tubercu- losis and on the recommendation of the physician inspector, Dr. Nat G. Clarke. He was convicted of carrying concealed weapons last April Is and sentenced to twenty days fine and Al days for costs.
 These tax collectors have made final settlement with the auditor: D. z. Good let Talladega; J. A. Woodward, Tal- ladega, and E. F. Conner, Coffee.
 c. Reynolds, who recently escaped from the Henderson Boyd Lumber company camps at Richburg, has been captured in Fl Reno, Ok. by John Osmond. He will be brought back. He killed a man in Talladega and was sentenced for ten years October 1T, 1904. He escaped in

say that l did not come down there
to take advantage of them or to bring
away any Of their hard earned money
as l am sure they were few dollars
better off by my presence. But the
deacons of the Mt. Zion Baptist
church would not let the sisters OF
the Mission Circle allow me to speak
for the second time in their church
because they said they did not know
whether they were offending their
God or not, nor would they listen to
the lecture on the first night. An ap-
peal from the people even failed to
soften their hearts after all arrange
ments had been made. The deacons
of the Mt. Zion Baptist church seemed

cious people in the city Of Buxton and
