CENSUSF0R
 EACH COUNTY Returns Have All Been
 Reported PER CAPITA IS ABOUT $2.4S Total School Enumerations For
 the State 687,392
1 The Decrease From That of Two Years Aga Is I5,442-AvaiIabIe Fund |.
 Larger Than Last Year.

The census of the last county having come in to the Department of Educa- tion yesterday, the total number of children of school age in Alabama be- came known as sS7.392. This Is but little in excess of the estimate which than week ago.
 Nor do the final figures materially disturb the estimate of the school per capita this year which must swing around SPAS. This would be an in. crease of forty-one cents over that of last year when the basis of distri- buting the States educational fund was only $2.07.
 This leap in the per capita is due to the increase of the fund available over that of the. year 1907-08 and to the substantial decline in the census as compared with that of the same year. which was 7o2.S34. The falling off in school children is to the accurate enumeration which has been done in several of the counties, 8 reform move started under the administration of Hon. Harry c. Gunnels. State Superin- tendent of Education. whose ideas were embodied in law of the last Legislature providing :. definite source of pay for tho census takers and i'm posing a severe penalty on any enum~ orator who should make a false or fraudulent enumeration knowingly.
 The estimate or the per capita at $2.4S is drawn from the yet unverified figures af the State Auditor indicating the total fund for the public schools to be used during 1s0s-09. This was tentatively reported to the Department of Education several days ago as $1,- 707.636. 80. This is the net education al fund from all sources after deduct ing the appropriation to the Normal schools of the State.
 The census by counties Is as follows: Autauga, 6.334 Baldwin, 5,707 Bar bour, 11,372; Bibb, 6.791; Blount 7,21S: Bullock. 1o.750; Butler. 1o.704: Cal houn. 13.ss6; Chambers. 12.2s0: Chero- kee. s.145: Chiffon, 7.077. choctaw. 7.- o12: Clarke. s.94s; Clay. 6,656; Cle- burne. 4.326; Coffee. 9.o59: Colbert.

we're omitted, but anyway, they did
not appear in the clipping from the
Newberry paper as he had written
them. With the quotation marks in

Upon hearing the statement OF the
senator from Clarendon, Senator
Smith asked leave to withdraw the
resolution and this was done without
objection.
The question now appears to be a
closed issue. However, Senator Sink

MORSE RAN AWAY.
Big Trust Magnate Now a Fugi.
tive From Justice.
Wrecked Big New York Bank Of
Which He Was President, and Sail
ed For Liverpool.
Which He Wa

A dispatch from New York says
that Charles w. Morse, less than
five months ago worth s2O,O00,0G0,
head of the Coastwise ship. and the
ice trusts, capitalized at S127,000,-
600, and in control of a chain of
banks, capitolized at 100000,
is a fugitive from justice, having
sailed from New York for Liverpool.
When this came to light Receiver
Hanna the official of the federal
government, who has charge of in
vestigation that the grand jury is
making into the bank juggling which
led to the failure of the Bank of
North America, has attached his
Fifth avenue mansion for S243,321.-
25 due by Morse to the bank on
promisory notes long over due.
Twice Morse has been before the
grand jury where he was subjected to
grillinG examinations. 1t Is known
that II iictment has been determined
upon ~ the jurors, but it is stated
by District Attorney Jerome that he
knows of no reason why Morse
should fee, fearing criminal prose-
cution.
Mrs. Morse, who was dragged
through the scandals attendant upon
the Dodge-Morse divorce case that
| landed Abe Hummel on Blackwell's
island, is living alone in the mansion
at No. 1928 Fifth Avenue. This stands
in the name of Morse, and is said to
be worth S750,0O0. 1t is already
mortgaged for large amount and
has been attached in suit by r. a.
C. Smith for s155,753.36 in claim
for a conditional sale of five hun
dred shares Of National Bank of
North America stock and also libell-
ed by the federal government for
S243,321.25.
In the wreck that followed the
driving out of Morse from his pres
idencies and directorates in banks he
controlled, his reputation by the
management of the re-organized
ship trust, the dropping out of sight
Eof values of the ice trust stock and
the wreck of banks that has follow
ed the revelation Of banking meth
ods that have been criticised, Morse's
fortune is believed to have been
swept away in three months.
Reports of Morse's loses followed
each other in rapid succession. One
Of these was that the creditor banks
might unite in making him an In
voluntary bankrupt, thus asorbing
the remnants of his fortune. Deputy
sheriffs were kept busy serving cop
les of the attachment in the suit
brought by Charles A. Hanna, re-
ceiver for the National Bank of North
America, in New York, against Morse
to recover S243,321.
Copies Of the attachment have been
served on officers Of the IA banks IN
which Morse was supposed to have
accounts. A deputy sheriff has
seized 6,409 shares Of stock Of the
Furnace Valley Copper, said to be
owned by Morse. Another levied on
stock in the Kingsland Copper Com
pany, said to have been owned by
Morse. A deputy sheriff also has
served copy Of the attachment OF
X. A. Wilson, in charge of the Morse
resident in 5th avenue.

FATAL TARGET SHOOTING.
Young White Man Accidentally Kills
Young CoIored Man.

Will Harper, colored, was accident
ally shot and killed near Troy In
Abbeville County on Tuesday OF last
week by Lewis Robinson, young
white man. Harper and Robinson
were in the woods together cutting
wood, and that Robinson had carried
his single-barrel shotgun with aim.
While in the woods the two began
shooting at targets, and afterwards
shooting at a piece of timber, which
first one and then the other would
throw into the air. Harper had shot
once, then Robinson tried his luck.
His first shot went wild, and in re-
loading his gun and getting ready
for the second shot it was accident
ally discharged, the entire load OF
shot striking Harper in the neck,
killing him instantly.

SIX MILL TAX.
Likely to be Levied for State Pur-
poses This Year.
This Would Be an Increase of a Mill
and Half Over the Tax Of Last

Year.
The appropriation bill which was
presented to the House Friday by the
ways and means will carry the levy
to five and one-half mills, and per-
haps to six mills. The levy for 1907
is four and one-half mills, which was
not sufficient to raise the appropria-
tions.
The bill as reported will carry
$4,000 for the new auditorium
building desired by the University of
South Carolina; also S43,744 for
support and other items, which will
bring the appropriation for the Uni
versity to sS3,569.64, as against
S64,038.93 last year.
For Winthrop College, the sum of
$64,435.22 is given for support, and
$4,000 additional for septic tanks,
raising the total amount to S78,059.-
80 as against $74,563.70 last year.
This sum does not include the S24,-
900 voted for q new dormitory, nor
the $12,5OO for practice school, al
ready appropriated.
For the Citadel, the sum Of $780,
900 to repair the recently purchased
police station Is included, together
with the $500 due as second pay
ment on the purchase, making the
total appropriation, $62,750. as
against S35,75O last year.
For the Industrial school at Flor
ence the sum of $4,000 is given.
For continuing the improvement of
the State House grounds the sum of
$4,000 is given, the commission
having asked for $4,000.
The appropriation for the depart
ment of immigration is as follows:
Salary of commissioner, $1,000;
clerk $1,000; expenses, $4,000; stem
ographer, $500; handbook, $4,000.
Total, $4,000, as against $4,000
last year.
There are no other important
changes in any of the other State
officers except that Of Attorney Gen
eral. The salary of the assistant
Attorney General Is raised from ST.
500 to $500, the contingent fund is
raised from $500 to $500, the litiga-
ton fund is placed at 1000, and
the stenographer is given $500, max
ing a total OF ,s6,725, as against So
OTIS last year.
The sum of $1,000 given last year
for any prosecutions of State Off
cials, and $1,000 for prosecuting
the Southern Railway merger suit
are not included this year.
Attorney General Lyon asked for
$4,000 to prosecute the merger suit
and requested that he either be CIV
en- a sufficient amount or be not re-
quired to prosecute the case at all.
The amount asked Is not given.
For water supply the amount is
fixed at $4,000, as against $4,000
last year, and this will likely be in
creased on the floor. For interest on
State debt the sum Of S3OO,O00 is
allowed. The amount for pensions is
fixed at S250,OO0, the same as last
year, and all other items are prac-
tically unchanged, except those not
ed above. There are no increases IN
salaries except small ones already
mentioned.
The committee on ways and means
has spent great deal of time on the
bill, having several meetings day.
and Chairman Banks and Secretary
Aull have been about the busiest men
in the General Assembly for the last
two weeks.
