 It is enough to abssh honest old Tallapoosa and modest old Dallas county. It takes the palm. Montgom- cry county. if 1t shows a net loss of Mittie Mays and Romping Ralphs as some look for, even proud Montgom- cry will have to drop back and as- sume a recun&ent posture In the cen- sus game.

The cen sus takers of Lowndes seem to have gone out in the highways and the by- ways and counted them one by one all those white and negro children be- tween the ages of seven and twenty one.
 Yet there is no motive for Lowndes officials to have overdone this reduc- ton business. It is one of the inkiest of the black belt counties. The ma jority of the black belt countess are reporting shortages in school children this year. It points to but one fact, and that is. the enumeration of the past must have slurred badly over the

Frenzied with rage at disparaging remarks made by each other during the course of a trial in the Recorders court yesterday afternoon in which both were witnesses, two women, at the conclusion of the trial rushed to- gether and were only separated by the strenuous exertion of three of ficers.
 The incident occurred in the court room. and Mrs. J. Jones whose husband is a paperhanger of this city, was fined $ and costs by Judge Baber for contempt of court. She was the ag- gressor, the woman who excited her anger being the sister of Jacob Gold berg, who had been tried just previous ly on the charge of disorderly con duct.
 Pandemonium reigned for several minutes in the court room after the clash between the women but quiet was finally obtained and the routine work of the court resumed.
 Of considerable interest was the case which led to the trouble. Jacob Gold berg. a foreigner whose nationality was not determined. was arrested at about o'clock Thursday night on the charge Of disorderly conduct by off cers George Canty and Sykes. 1t was alleged by Mrs. Jones that he had en- tered her house. 64 Hannon Street, where his young brother was paying visit to her daughter. and after indulg- ing in a tirade against the youngster had knocked him down several times and finally dragged him out of the house.
 In the trial yesterday afternoon. Goldberg positively denied that he had entered the house of Mrs. Jones, stat ing that he had gone only to the gate. From that locality. he said, he had called his brother to him. and he ad- mitted that subsequently, there had been trouble between them. His parents, he declared. objected greatly to the calls of his brother upon Miss Jones. His testimony was corroborated by several witnesses, among them his sis- ter. who, she claimed was only short distance in his rear when he approach ed the house of Mrs. Jones.
