TERMS DEFINED.
What Is Meant by the Initiative and
Referendum,

hCtS1 Ctt06tth
The national grange and many state
oranges are discussing the merits and
dement's of what is called the n1tl-
alive and referendum. Ohio oranges
are particularly active this winter in
this discussion. The legislature Of that
state will pass upon the question at
Its present session Oregon has had
the system In operation for five years.
Maine and Missouri have it on trial
What is this new method of dealing
with public questions on the part of
the people? By the initiative is meant
the right of the people to propose laws
to the legislature to be by it acted
upon and, If not enacted, to be re-
ferred to vote of the state at the
next following election. Take an ex-
ample: The people of Oregon, like the
people of Ohio. had for many years
demanded that the big public service
corporations pay their just share of
the taxes Finally a bill taxing these
corporations l per cent on their gross
incomes was introduced into the leg
islature of that state, only to be killed
in committee-the usual fate Of peo-
pies measure. The grangers Of Ore
gon secured 4 copy of that bill, raised
the percentage to ,. printed it on petit
lions and circulated 1t all over the
state. When 8 per cent of the voters
had signed it was filed with the sec
rotary of state and went to vote Of
the people in June, 1906. 1t was ap.
proved by a vote of ten to one and
thus became a law.
The Ohio amendment also provides
for the referendum-that is, the pow
er of the people to require that any
law passed by the legislature unsatis
factory to the people may be remand
ed to vote of the people at the fol
lowing general election if petition OF
3 per cent of the voters about 10000
is filed against the bill within ninety
days.
Note that the initiative and referen
DUN Is called into action only when
the people may see fit to use it. Sc
long as the legislature truly represents
the people there is no need for it.

Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth, be
low the reach of miners; but, accord
ing to an eminent geologist, there is
little or no ground to believe that val
liable metallic deposits lie very deep
in the earth's crust. Such deposits,
according to this authority, are made
by underground waters, and owing to
the pressure on the rocks at great
depths the waters are confined to q
shell near the surface. With few ex-
ceptions ore deposits become too lean
to repay working below 1900 feet.

 Eeighbors had been missing since Saturday noon. He had started out on a collecting tour and had visited suddenly disappeared. the last seen of him being Saturday about l2.30 o'clock A thorough search was made for the missing man but tn vain. Inasmuch , as the suggestion had been made that some day the collector who always carried a large pocketb in his rear trousers pockets would be held up and his body thrown into or under raii- road car. all cars in the North Birming- ham yards were searched. but in vain.
 Neighbors worked for the Southern at North Birmingham for about two years, and had good reputation. As far as Is stated there was nothing wrong in his accounts. While the in- dications point to the young man hav- ing committed suicide. there are many who do not believe that he took his own life. Coroner Paris empanneled a jury and will make thorough inves- tigation the jury to take more evi- dence the last of the week.
 Neighbors came here from Knoxville, Tenn. where his father has been wired to as to disposition of the body. The remains were fast decomposing when found No pains will be lost in locating a clue if murder was committed.

 Incidentally the deputies took a trip to Cottondale with them, meanwhile making a search for the beverage; they found it and also the owners. and their work being over they left the train at Cottondale, coming back at s;So with their prisoners and the spells. The negroes are now in the county Jail. Reports came here that they had been shooting up stock along the line. and that they had chased one negro to the woods. The officers in their search did not find any weapons though.

W.P.LOVE ARRESTED
GREENSBORO BANKER CHARGED
 WITH ENTERTAINMENT
Was Arrested At Lookout Inn, Near Chattanooga, Last Night, By FederaI 0fficers--Wtfe
 an State of Collapse.

Chattanooga, Tenn. July 2s-- (special) )---w. Percy Love, of Greens boro, Ala, was arrested at Lookout Inn tonight by Federal marshall on telegrams from the United states, Dis trict Attorney of Mobile, charging him with embezziennent from the First Na- tional Bank of Greensboro.
 Mir. Love was accompanied by nis wife and when the arrest was made. the couple were just in the act of en- tering the dining room, when Marshal Evans stepped up and asked Mir. Love to step aside for moment, and when the Alabama man did so. he explained the cause of the Interruption. Mir Love was silent for a moment and then without saying anything in denial of the charges. or dropping q word which would betray guilt. asked the officer if he could so on to dinner with his wife and tell her concerning his trouble after the meal. The marshal readily agreed to this. The two stood together and chatted for a moment as though they were old boyhood friends. and then Mir. Love bowed himself gracl- ously away and rejoined his wife. They went into the dining room and for nearly an hour chatted and talked together.
 w 0GA Lu1 kAGbl NaS lAI1ouG0f they came out in the lobby and strolIed around for a few minutes after which they went together on the front veranda and remained together for fifteen or twenty minutes. MT. Love then came forward and walked to where Marshal Evans was awaiting him, and said: Well, I'm ready to go.s
 Marshal Evans and Mir. Love came nr, tn hn nffr ay. skr not excite curiosity, as Mir. Love did not wear cuffs or anything else which would indicate he was under arrest Mir. Love is said to be 37 years of age, but he looks younger. He weighs about 160 pounds, has brown hair and gray eyes. His face is broad and he is rather good looking. His clothes were newly pressed and his linen immacu- lately clean. He did not appear ner- vous and when introduced to a local newspaper reporter. smiled in a pleasant way and showed a willingness to talk about anything except himself and his arrest. When the reporter asked Mir. Love to give his version of the arrest, he laughed lightly and said be would have nothing to say until he heard from his relatives in Greens boro. His connection with the Greens boro First National Bank was asked, but he laughed again and said he could not talk until morning.
 He turned the tables on the reporter and asked questions in regard to this city, intimating that he was a stranger here. All attempts to turn the con versation back to the Alabama man or his arrest proved useless. MT. Love has a pleasant face and a smile plays around the corners of his lips every time he speaks. He was not the least bit nervous tonight and as the officers said. Acted the gentleman In every respect"
 Mrs. Love remained at the Lookout. Inn, and is in state of nervous col lapse.
