by the Commission that its. first work would be done in Barbour County and that It's sittings would begin on March 2s. The Commission will probably hold sessions both at Clayton and at Eufaula. Both of these Barbour Coun- ty cities have court houses and offices of the county officials are maintained at both places.
 J. B. Powell. associate members Of the commission. and W. R. Lloyd. secre- tary of the commission. will leave for EufauIa with the books of the com mission. They will prepare aversthRg for the coming of the commission and for the prompt beginning of it's work
 The future of the commission Is not mapped out beyond the sittings lore oasted for Barbour and Bullock coun- ties. It Is perhaps a significant fact that Barbour County, in which the commission will begin its work. is said to have one of the lowest assessments in the State.
 Barbour County, moreover, is one Of the very few of the sixty-seven coun- tiesa of Alabama which instead of show ing an increase shows a decrease in tax values. Barbour County like all Black Belt counties. has suffered acute ly in an industrial way from the lack of labor and much of the land of that county, on this account, has been lying out At any rate the assessment val ues in that county have decreased TOT several years, instead of increasing
 It is an interesting fact, too, that Governor Conner Is the largest lana owner in Barbour County. He owns more acres than any other man in the county. At one time it was said that his plantation at Conner, was the larg- est plantation in the South.
 The commissions entry into Barbour County, where 1t is charged farming lands are assessed cheaper than any where else in the South. formally inau- gurates the labors of the State Tax Commission.
 1t is a matter of some surprise that the State tax commission and the pos- abilities of the law governing 1t, have aroused more interest throughout the State than any of the railroad legisla- ton. or all of it. for that matter. The commission and its workings will be considered one of the most important, if not the most important. accomplish ment of the present administration.
 The commission is composed of Judge J, J. Mitchell, of Lauderdale; Colonel Harvey E. Jones, of Mobile, and j. B.. Powell, of Butler. The commission has superior powers to those of county assessment boards and Is authorized under the law to adjust and revise all assessments.
 The commission has been in session several days at the Capitol in preliml- nary preparation for its work. The books have been gotten into shape and the laws compiled.
 Before It's work has been completed the commission will visit every county in the State.

NEGRO DISCHARGED
GIVEN FREEDOM AFTER HE
 PLEADS GUILTY.
Charged With Retailing Liquor With cut Government License But Judge Jones Let's Him Go
 Because of Good Reputa-

Out of three cases set for trial yes terday in the United States Court, two were continued for the term and Jim Burnett, the negro defendant in the other. pleaded guilty to retailing liquor without license.
 Burnett is a hard working, faithful Greenyille negro, and bears a good reputation among the white people of that community Tn view of the ne- gro's good character. coupled with the fact that he has settled his delinquin- cies with the government Judge Jones did not infiict punishment on the negro but gave him his freedom.
 In commenting on the case, Judge Jones told Burnett he had learned from reliable sources that he was the sort of negro whom white men could trust to be left in charge of their families, and this Judge Jones regarded as a good trait.
 The cases continued were against Steven Johnson and West Hannah, charged with retailing liquor without license.
 C. F.. Hamilton. a. well known attor- ney of Greenville, was admitted to practice in the United States Court on presentation by Assistant District Att torney Thigpen.
 After session extending over ten weeks, the United States Court will probably adjourn today after conclud- ing the call. Judge Jones said yester- day he thought the days business could be completed in time to allow the out of town jurors to leave the city on af- ternoon trains.
 This has been one of the longest ses- sions ever held by the Federal Court and large number of cases have been disposed of, both civil and criminal.
 Cases charging retailing liquor with out license against Houston Sims and Wyatt Charlton are the only ones on today's call.

MIME. sEMRRICH COMING.
World-Famous Prima Donna to Visit
 Montgomery.

WOrId-FamOus Prima DOmma 10 NAsAt
 Montgomery.
 Mime. Sembrich, who is to be heard here April g. comes at time when her marvellous powers are at their richest and highest development. It is interesting to note the opinion that H. E. Krebiel, the brilliant New York critic held when he first heard the prima donna several years ago. MT. Krebiel wrote in The Times as fol- lows:
 Madame Sembrich is a lovely sing er-lovely of person, of address, of voice; and her artistic requirements, in the limited field in which Donizet- tis opera called them into actvty at least are of the highest rank. Her style is exquisite. and Is plainly the outgrowth of a thoroughly musical nature. It unites some of the highest elements of art. Such reposefulness of manner, such smoothness and fla cility in execution, such perfect bal ance of tone, and refinement of ex- precision can be only found in one richly endowed with deep musical feeling and ripe artistic intelligence"

 Citx AIlIk Ordinance.


 EJ. Hughes, a we'll known dairyman of Montgomery. was arrested by Pa trolmen Evans and Loe shortly before noon yesterday on a warrant preferred by City Physician Gaston Greil charg- ing the dairyman with selling milk which was not up to the standard re- quired by the city.

 The milk sold by MT. Hughes, 1t is claimed. had only 2.6 per cent of butter fat, whereas the city ordinance which MT Hughes is charged with violating requires no less than S.5 per cent but ter fat.
 MT Hughes made a nominal bond for his appearance before the Recorder this afternoon.

MAURETANIA'S TURN NEXT
Sister ship to Busitanin VIII start
ON It's Maiden Voyage
Tonight.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Advices from Eng
land as to the departure of the huge new
Cunard steamer Mauretania from Liver
pool this evening on its maiden trans
Atlantic passage, say that the event will
be attended with an interest fully as keen
as that which marked the Lusitanias 5 first
departure for America The Mauretania's s
recent trials establish the conviction that
It viii surpass the Lusitania's achieve
ments. Notwithstanding the official an
nouncement that it will not be pushed.
Tho rival shipbullding interests on the
Tyne and on the Clyde are intensely in
terested on this point of speed, for the
English builders hope to see the product
of the Scotch yards outpaced by Tyne
side vessel.
The Mauretania will carry about 1000
record number for a west
ward passage in id-November-but even
then all its berths will not be filled.
The amount OF gold It will bring here
adds yet more interest to the voyage. The
amount is yet uncertain, but it will prob
ably be about s1s,OOOOOO, mainly in gold
bars.
The Cunard company has insured the
for nearly $5,OOO,OOO.
