County Building sIte.

At their meeting last week the COM
missioners ordered the purchase Of the
quarter block just north Of the county
jail from VIM. Mcclure for $500 includ
ing the two houses now standing there
on. The lot and house asst north Of the
court house was pat into the trade at
$3.50 by the county. This gives the
county one Of the most desirable locat-
ions for q court house in the city az we'll
as half block Of the most valuable real
estate just off of Main street. The time
will soon be ere when q new court
house will be necessity as the capacity
Of the vaults IN the old building has
been reached, and valuable records are
now being kept in constant danger of
fire. The court room has for years been
inadequate to accommodate the public
when any trial or meeting Of public In
terest has been taking place. The ground
secured is absolutely the best located
and most desirable that could be obtain
ed, and We are glad to see the commits
sioners take hold Of the matter while il
was yet possible to secure suoh q good
location. With the postoffioe, court
house aud city hall all located within Q
distance of 600 feet those having public
business to transact here will find the
most convenient arrangement of any city
in the county.

SHOWING THE PREVALENCE OF
 DREAD, TUBERCULOSIS.

City Physicsan Gs~foa GreiI, Reads
 Progress and !saSaFity of "Great
 white Plssuer at County Med-
 icsl Association Meeting.
 Just how prevalent and mortal a d. sease tuberculosis is in Montgomery is shown in statistics which Dr. Gaston J. Greii. City Physician read to the members of the County Medical Asso- citation at its meeting last night.
 Of the 704 persons who died fin Montgomery in 1906 not fewer than ninety-six died of tuberculosis. For 1907 the fatalities were of less large proportion. only eighty-ive of the sos deaths being. resultant from the dread- full maiady. In 1906 then Dr. Greil pointed out. the percentage of deaths from tuberculosis. as compared with the total. was nearly fourteen while even in 1907, when conditions had been improved, 1t was more than ten. The statistics offered by Dr. Geril were of especial interest because of the early convention of the TubercuI- osis Congress in Montgomery.
 Statistics of the results of other di- seases were also read.
 Following is a copy, of the record he read;
 Deaths in 1906. 7o4. Radical dis tinction, 257 white persons, AT negroes. Causes of deaths and numbers of deaths resultant, smallpox. 2: scarlet fever, 1: measels, 1; whooping cough 1; typh old. 24; pneumonia, 20; tubercu1- osis. s6; diptheria, 1.
 Deaths in 1907. sos. Radical distinc- ton, white persons. 2S3; negroes 51o. Causes of death and number of death s resultant, scarlet fever. 3; measles, 2; whooping cough, 8; typhiod fl; pneu- monia. a; tuberculosis, s5; diptheria, 9.

BALDWIN COLLECTOR
THIRD REPORT FILED ON TAX COL
 LECTaR COOPER.
Judge Purifoy Esxaminer of Public Ae- counts, Fixes Amount Due The
 stnte tt e3,5z0.S3--No Action

The third report of Judge John Puri- foy,s State Examiner of Public Ac- counts, on the alleged shortage of H Fl. Cooper Tax Collector of Baldwin County, was made public yesterday by Governor Conner and places the amount now due the state by this officer at s3.57o53.
 To be exact. this is, the amount found to be due as of April g., when Judge Purifoy completed his report. The report has been on file with the Governor since that date and was given out yesterday. With the mak- ing public of the report, the Governor did not announce what proceedings, if any. will be brought by the State to recover the amount due from Tax Collector Cooper. It is known, how ever, that the States accounts in this case as in others are we'll protected by ample sureties.
 The answer of Collector Cooper to the charge of this balance being with he1d from the State Auditor Is that he suffered the theft of that amount by the vaults of the office of Tax Collec- tor.
 The Tax Collector of Baldwin Coun- ty, according to report made by Judge Purifoy on March 12. owed the State s6,s11 But since that date he has re- mitted the difference between this and the balance as found to be due the State April g.
 The amount now due is divided by Judge Purifoy into the following items: General Fund. s1.298.07; pension fund s55o.o4; school fund. sl.s62.4l. and interest, $70.01.

MAY BE A CONFLICT
STATE AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
 ARE AT ODDS.
Chancellor Simpson Authorizes Sheriff T0 Hold Property Which United States Marshai May Try
 To Sefxe.

Florence. April 11--(Special )-Chan- cellor W. H. simpson, of the Lauder dale County Chancery Court, has just itate conflict next Tuesday between the sheriff of the county and the mar shal of the United States Court
 The caso is that of George W. Pruitt against the TuthiIl and Pattison Manu- featuring Company ct all. in which 30O,00 feet of logs and other property are in litigation. and which is an- other complication of the celebrated Tuthill-Pattison bankruptcy case now in the courts of many States
 Chancellor Simpson has rendered a decision overruling the demurrer of John R. Tuthill. surviving partner. and Herbert Jackson, trustee in bankrupt cy, and denying the motion to dismiss the bill for want of Jurisdiction Of this court.
 The cause has been hotly contested in the courts. it being contended by the trustee that the Chancery Court had no Jurisdiction because the property was in custodia legis, being in tho bankruptcy court for the Eastern Dis- trict of Kentucky and that the com plainant had no lien on the property attached by the State court.
 The trustee has apparently ignored the Chancery Court and has obtained from the bankruptcy court an order for the sale, of the property and has advertised it for sale next Tuesday at Shahleld.
 Now that the Chancery Court has confirmed the seizure of the logs under the attachment the sheriff will vigor- ousIy resist any interference with his possession and should the trustee un- dertake to have the Federal Court sus- tain him in his contention that that coNrt has exclusive Jurisdiction over Inc property by reason of the pend sncy of the bankruptcy proceedings an interstinE conflict may result between the sheriff and the United States Mar

WOOD (. CAMPBELL
 READY FOR PENTTENTIARY

Columbus, Ga, April 11.-(SpeciaL)- Wood c. Campbell. formerly marshal of Phenix City, and who is widely known throughout East Alabama, will leave in q day or two for the Georgia penitentiary to serve his sentence of twenty years for killing Loxla T. Ed wards. who was prominent resident of Phenix City.
 Campbell has arranged his business affairs and Is ready, to go to the pen. He was very keenly disappointed when Judge Martin declined to let him give bond so that he could personally wind up his business matters and collect his debts before he left to serve his sem tence. He had to give directions to the management of his affairs from his cell in the Muscogee County jail.
 Campbell is a good business man and has been successful in his Investments. According to, reports he has accumu- lated considerable property, although he Is by no means rich.
 It Is his hope that he will be as- signed by the Georgia Prison Commis- sion to some place where he will be able to make extra money for his fam that he leaves Columbus with no ani- mostly in his heart towards anyone. and has no feeling of bitterness for the auth critics of Muscogee County.
 Campbell received a good many att tentions from visitors during the past week, as 1t was known that he would soon leave to serve his sentence Wa men visited, the jail and held religious services, and his cell was brightened by beautiful flowers
 Campbell declares he did right in killing Edwards, and says if he had 1t to so over again he would do the same thing. He says he believed he was right at the time he fired the fatal shots and that after having reflected over the matter for several months. he believes he made no mistake.
