people in the movement to take up this feature of the taxing question in order that the summer session of the legis- lature may give authority to the people to vote on the amendment. If it is car ried the school friends will get busy and try to carry every county. with not so low a limit as mill as is now the figure. Many states have this feature, and the Alabama school men think it the best way to get all the people interested. The fact that Georgia raises far more than the state appropriation this way has SC the other states to watching out for better things.
 In a few weeks the campaign for coun- ty tax will be taken up again. and the thirty counties left without it will be made the ground for hard work. The belief is that few of them if any will turn it down at last.
 Boy Is ParoIed.
 Willie Freeman, boy of P, has been paroled out of the Mobile jail in order that his mother may bind him out to d man who Is willing to take and keep him until he is of age. Solicitor Webb writes the governor that the boy, who is of under size, was not sent to the peni- tentary because of his age, but to the jail instead. because too young, and says also that he believes he should be re- leased to his mother to be thus bound out.

Morrow WithdraWs.

James E. Morrow has withdrawn from the race for mayor of New Decatur. This leaves Capt. Samuel Blackwell, the pres ent mayor, without opposition for re- election.
 The election takes place on May ', and it is now almost certain that Mayor Blackwell will not be opposed for election of mayor of New Decatur for a third ten. It is now too late for another candidate for mayor to have his name printed on the ticket and it seems that Captain Blackwells election will be unan- imous.
 There will be quite a lively contest for the marshalship of New Decatur from the fact that there are five active candi-, daCes in the field.
