MAN IS ROBBED AT
 GATE OF HIS HOME
AFTER J. F. M. HARRIS IS KNOCKED DOWN ROBBERS GO TO HIS STORE AND BREAK INTO THAT.

Tuscun1bia, December 1S-(Special. J. The people of Tuscumbia are greatly stirred up over an assault and robbery which took place Monday night between 2 and o'clock, the victim being J. r. M. Harris, prominent groceryman. MT. Harris was within a few feet of his gate when he was assaulted from be- hind with heavy iron instrument. The assault was for the purpose of robbery and the men are believed to have secured a large sum of money which MT. Harris was carrying.
 Mrs. Harris witnessed the assault and rushing out frightened the robbers away, but she was so badly scared that she was unable to give any description of them After leaving MT. Harris the men went to his store and broke in there, securing good amount of money.
 The Palace drug store and the Globe drug store were also entered, presum- ably by the same men, but little booty was secured.
 Immediately after the attack upon MT. Harris a telegram was sent to Law renceburg, Tenn, for bloodhounds and they arrived at 10 o'clock over the Louis vile and Nashville. The trail was taken up and the dogs followed it to the house of a negro, Jim Underwood, but it is not thought he was party to the crime.
 A vigorous search Is being prosecuted with the result that another negro has been arrested on suspicion. MT. Harris has recovered consciousness, but can throw no light on the subject.

Cotton Mill Men Think It Best To
 Have Partial Shutdown.

Boston, December 18.-The advis- ability of a curtailment of production by the cotton mills during January and February was discussed here today at a meeting of the Arkright club, an organization of officials of leading cot ton textile plants in New England. The sentiment of the speakers appeared to be that the mills should shut down two days a week during January and February, provided the movement is accepted generally. A committee was appointed to canvass the situation to ascertain if it is acceptable to all lead ing mill interests.
 Tn Fall River many of the print cloth mills have contracts which will keep them busy the first part of next year, but some of the manufacturers favor curtailment, and have already stopped sections of their machinery.

 Board at Huntsville.
TELEPHONE TAX IS $25O

Huntsville, December 1s.-(special.)- The city of Huntsville and the Dallas Manufacturing company have settled the controversy relating to the supply of water to be furnished the big cotton mill by the city pumping station and by the terms of the settlement the mill will get an ample supply of water at a minimum rate and the city will save something llke s41 600 in the next 15 years on its water contract.
 The city council a few months ago rescinded its contract with the Dallas Manufacturing company on the grounds that it was illegal and the company was presented with bill for water amount ing to nearly $5O.00O. The mill company secured an injunction preventing the city from interfering with it's water supply, pending an adjustment of the matter. The corporation and the city council have agreed that on payment of s25oo by the company a receipt will be given for all charges for water up to January l, 1908. and the mill agrees to have the injunction against the city dissolved and the case dismissed.
 The city council has fixed the previlege tax on telephone companies at $250 per year for local and $50 for long distance business. Mayor Smith warmly opposed this and said he thought the telephone company should grant a 10 per cent re- duction to all subscribers who pay by the 10th of each month and that in such case the tax should be reduced to s2oO for local and $1O0 for long distance bus mess. Judge Palmer of Atlanta was present in behalf of the company and stated that 1t would be impossible for the Southern Bell to give any reduction.
 Mayor Smith, as chairman of the school committee, reported to the council that an arrangement had been effected with the Spraglns board of education where by the city should pay one-third of the expenses of the city schools. The report was adopted and so far as the city and school muddle is ended.
 5 Prof. w. J. Humphrey vice principal of the city school, white, has filed quo warranto proceedings in the law and equity court attacking the legality of the Spragins school board and the validity of the bill creating the body. The Sprag- ins law is claimed to be invalid on Il counts and it is claimed that the ap- pointment of members on the board to serve for life is unconstitutional, and further that the bill is unconstitutional because of the fact that it Is a local law covering the same grounds that are cov- cred by the municipal code law of the state.
