Increased Valuation o9 Colbert Ceunfy
 Property fs Half DGilraDn DuEIars.
 Tuscumbia, Dot. 14.---(t3pociat. l--- The Tax Assessor of Colbert County has filed his book of aaasssments for 1907 with the Probate Judge. and . most excellent showing is made over the assessment for last year.
 The total assessed value Of real and personal property for 1907 ae6regases $e,esSsof1 against s5,53s.221 for 1906.
 The State tax for 1907 aggregates sss,si4.7s against s35.sss. e5 for .1soe. while the County tax shows q total for 1907 Of $s9.214. .7s against $35.131.4a. The tax rate for 1907 is s1 80. being sE cents for the State and 65 cents for the County. against S1.25 last year. when the state was 65 cents and the County 60 cents. Thefe has been no change in the State rate, but the Coun- ty rate has been increased to eS cents by sha levy of a special 5 cent per t10e valuation for the erection of d new County jail, giving the State and County the same rate of 66 cents each
 The increase in the valuation Of real and personal property for the present year over last year is nearly a half million dollars. which is considered . aattefing showing, and goes to prove that the tax payers of Colbert County are disposed to return their property at fair and equitable valuation. It is believed that the assessment of 1907 will easily reach SO per cent of the market value of the property. the basis fixed by the State Tax Commission.

FOR CRIME OF THE LONG AGO
 -e Governor Issues Pardon to George Iyerson.
 -s-- CIVIL RIGHTS ARE RESTORED Has Bssn Respected citizen of Pratt City Twenty-two Years. Was coavietes q Larceny 1. His Youth and since CsnDistins His Term
 Has Dssn h Businsss.

Governor Conner signed two paroles and . pardon yesterday, the pardon being for . man who nnished serving his sentence twenty-two years ago. but who pettttoned for the restoration Of his civil Hberties.
 This pardon was Issued for George 1verson, . highly respected citizen or Pratt City. wnere he has lived for twenty-two years, and won for htmselx the respect and confidence of those around him.
 The case is rather an unusual one. Iverson was convicted when . young man. before he attained his majority. The charge against him was receiving stolen goods in Lee county. He was convicted and sent to prison, where he completed his sentence.
 He then went to Pratt City, where he engaged in business. and soon es- tablisned himself as ono of the lead inG cftizens. Before he could claim hts civil rights, however, 1t was ne- cessary that the Governor pardon hina, and this was done yesterday.
 | Will Brown, who was convicted in Macon county of muroer in the aec- ofld degree in is0ss was paroled on recommendation os the Pardon Board;
 Irven Cook, convicted of manslaugf,- ter in the first degree in Baldwin couu- ty in 1905, was sent to the penttentiAry for i've years, was also pAfoied, pend- ing hts future good behavior. The crime of which Cook was convicted was committed at dance, when he ts nl- legged to have killed a man in q zen. eral mixup, following a free fieht be- tween some of the guests.

STRANGLING OF AUTO MEASURE Governor Declines to Ap-

The Hlackmon Automobile Bill, passed by the House and Senate, died of stranGulatfon on the Governors desk. The Governor declined to put his approval on the bill.
 The measure was drafted and intro duced by Senator F. L. Blackmon, of Calhoun County. It provided new reg .nlations for automobiiists and 1t was in line with the desire of ( great many people to provide something which would hold the autemobilists in check.
 The main feature ok the bill was q provision which declared that every automobilist should stop his machine when he saw, or ought to see, that a mule or horse in the road was fright sned. It was this provision to which automobile owners most strenuously objected.
 The bill in the Legislature, however, was favored by the representatives of rural communities. from which great complaint has come as to reckless driving and because of frightened horses. This sentiment carried the measure through both heures.
 The biff was considered one of the important measures but somehow sight was lost of 1t after 1t went to the Gov ernor's desk.
 No announcement was made as to LL1 H8bSs put the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS U0- lieved that the Governor would veto the measure he being an automobilist. Senator Blackmon some time ago wrote the Governor as to the fate of hits Dill and received in turn Q letter from Private Secretary Fort saying that the bill had not met the appoval of the Governor.
 The first section of the bill. which contains the meat in it Is as follows:
 Section 1. Be 1t enacted by tho Legislature of Alabama, That 1t shall be unlawful for any person running or operating an automobile or Jtraction engine or portable engine over or along the public highways In this State, to fail to bring such autonno bile or traction engine or portable enc zine to full stop when apprcaching any person or persons who are drfv- ing over or along such public hiGh- ways in buggies or wagons or on horseback, when he discovers or ought to have discovered that the horses or mules attached to such buggies. wag- ons. or horses or mules which are be- ing ridden or driven, are Afraid or friGfitened at the approach of S&id au- 4onIobile or traction engine or portable engine, and if necessary shall cut on
