THE REPORT COMES TODAY
THE FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL
HAVE SPECIAL MEETING TO-
NIGHT TO RECEIVE IT.
SMITHS OFFER TO THE CITY.

The report Of Accountant Henry l..
Smith of indianapolis. as to the con-
ditiOn of the City Treasurer's books
as result Of the recent auditing will
be received today by Councilman
Henry Deuker, chairman of the Fl
nance Committee. This committee
will meet tonight and the report read
after which action on it will be taken
Mr.. Deuker had a talk over the long
distance telephone, with Accountant
Smith yesterday afternoon, in which
Mr.. Smith stated that he had found
no serious discrepancies in the books
He also intimated that he would like
to return about the first Of the month
and put the books in the best of
shape, for the advent of City Treas
urer-elect Nimrod Johnson. For this
service he wants remuneration only
for mileage.
The auditing of the books has been
prolific of good results, and II the
lessons which it has demonstrated
are followed, the business of the city
will be on a much irmer basis than
ever before 1t has brought to light
the fact that the present system Of
bookkeeping is not adequate for the
volume of business. This fact will
lead to the recommendation Of the
Finance Committee to Council at its
last meeting under the Republican
regime Monday night. for a change in
systems 1t is thought that with a
new system that many possible temp
tatiOns will be removed.
City Treasurer Tennis stated yes
terday afternoon that his bank ac-
count balanced with the accountant S
figures Of what he should have on
hand.

YOUNG MAN KILLED
BY FALLING LOGS
Allen Mullins of McShan, Ala, Meets
Meets Tragic Death While
Hauling Logs.

Columbus, Miss, November 24.-(Spe-
cial )-Sylvanus Mullins, prominent
planter of this section, who makes his
home in this city, received a telegram
this morning from McShan, telling him
that his brother, Allen Mullins. had b:en
killed and requesting him to come at
once. Mr.. Mullin left on the noon train
to investigate the unfortunate affair.
The fact that j. d. Mullins. a brother
to Allen Mullins, mad killed a negro abou.
two weeks ago of which he was exohcr-
ated at the trial as the deed was COM
mitted in self-defense, led relatives Of
Allen Mullin to suspect that he had been
killed as revenge for the negro's having
been killed. II appears, though, that their
fears were unfounded, and the unfortlir-
ate man met his death by having fallen
from a log wagon and heavy log falling
on him and instantly killing him. He lad
gone from McShan about three miles log
ging, and while following his occupation
met his death In the manner mentioned.
This young man has numerous friends III
this section who deeply deplore his ia
slant death.

OF course it is understood in any dis

democratic convention and accepted as
law of the party, will be attended to

son in the world to doubt that fwhat-

the session, and so far can now be

HELM WILL WORK TO
EXTEND COTTON TRADE

Montgomery, November 24-(Special)--
Congressman j. Thomas Hefin, the well
known representative from the Fifth dis
trict said today that he was going to
push in the next session his movement
to have agents sent into the cotton using
sections of the world to exploit the cot
ton of the south, and to encourage the
use of the product in every way He in
troduced a resolution at the last session
for the appropriation Of $4,000 for this
purpose and secured passage to the ex-
tent of $4,000, which will employ two
men to work on this line, they having
already been selected
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Hehlin to have
the sum Increased to about 100000 and
to have the forces thus employed in
creased to six and send them to all the
countries not using our cotton as well as
TO those which are, the idea being to in
crease the use of the staple in every way.
It is thought by Mr.. Helm that there
will be little real trouble in getting this
money, as he has found that the other
members of the Congress are willing, as n
rule, to help out the movement to pro-
mote the great staple of the south.
Mr. Henin has another movement work.

Judiciary Revision.

1t is also thought that there will be
the lawmakers of the Judiciary of the
state, 1t is familiar history that the at
tempts along this line made during the
last session resulted in magnificent fail
ures. and that the nvalidity of the acts
adopted resulted almost in judicial chaos.
Several circuits established by this large
law had provisions which went down.
causing untold confusion, and in some
cases miscarriage of justice, and the
much needed consolidated court of Jeffer-
son county tumbled into the abyss along
with the rest of the discounted family.
State Senator-Elect Teasley has already
announced that he will introduce bill
to re-establish the fifteenth circuit, which
was declared Illegal along with the rest
of them. This was known as the pony
circuit, and was composed of the coun-
ties of Montgomery, Elmore Autauga and
Chiffon Judge Scott Sayre was on the
bench, and was deprived of his place by
the failure of the law to stand a test Of
the courts. All those acts which had to
do with the judiciary tumbled down be-
cause of their failure to comply with Sec
ton JOG of the constitution, which pre-
scrbes that all local laws shall be adver-
tised to the extent of all of their essential
features in all the counties affected by
them. And it is quite likely that future
attempts along this line will avoid such
weakness as will get them into trouble
with the supreme bench.

Insurance Prospects.

Life and fire insurance is likely to re-
ceive somewhat of attention from the
next assembly of solons, who sport them
selves in the Cradle of the Confederacy.
1t has developed within the past few
months that certain classes of life insur-
ance is very obnoxious to large per cent.
of the citizenship, those classes including
some of the special contract features
which are now being written. 1t Is also
thought that there will be an attempt
made to secure from the life companies
more revenue than is now received by the
state. Governor Jelks has more than once
called attention to the large amount Of
money sent out of the state for life in
surance, and it may be that men who
think as he does, that there is too much
going out and too little coming in, will
fall on to some kind of plan to change
the situation.
So far as fire insurance goes the books
of the insurance commissioner indicate
that the state as a whole contributes very
little to this class of enterprise. 1t costs
the companies about as much to do bust
ness in Alabama as they have ever been
able to get out of 1t. However, there
has been some talk of adopting plan
by which there would be systematic In
spection of all classes of risks, the idea
being that such oversight would tend TO
reduce the number of fires and at the
same time make it possible for the COM
panies to write business at lower prem
iums.
Another prospect Of more or less in
terest is the proposition of some of the
larger counties to utilize the county con-
victs on the county roads instead of
renting them to corporations or other EN-
ploying agencies. There has been a de-
cided revival in all sections of the state
of the good roads sentiments and this
has resulted in a discussion of various
and sundry plans for building up and
preserving the highways. 1t Is incidental
1y suggested by number of his friends
that the campaign made for good roads
by Capt. J. II. Bankhead in his race for
senatorial endorsement has begun al
ready to bear fruit. In some of the lower
counties 1t is expected that all the sur
plus revenue will be devoted to this
source of enterprise, and it is not at all
unlikely that some kind of a law will
be passed by which county convicts can
