 But the weather was very pleasant yesterday for this time of the year. The humidity may have been very op- pressive, and the thermometer may have been high-say about 91-but as a matter of fact no one suffered from the heat yesterday afternoon or morn ing to any great extent. That Is in comparison with what they have been suffering for several days past.

 'Joker."
  An Unsuspected Provision in the Code May Compel the state to Pay Heavy Interest Contrary to an Expressed Promise.

Guardians of the States strong box" have for several months watched JeaI- ously the ebb and flow of the shekels. but they did not koow until just the other day that joker was stacked against them. Yet 1t is a joker. and 1t makes vicious lunge. It beckons thousands and thousands of dollars from the Treasury which were thought secure,
 The new phantom Is in the Code and Section 1892 of that document, fills the Attorney General with much doubting as to what the State is going to do about paying interest to the Girls In- dustrial School of Montevallo. on pro- ceeds from the sale of lands held in trust for the college.
 Whenever one reads the tiny type, "w c. C." opposite a section in the new Code, one may scratch one's head and hunt for a joker. Usually if 1t Is not a joker. it is lemon. Both are so sudden.
 Briefly told, when Uncle Sam made the grant of the mineral lands to the Girls Industrial School 1t was provid- ed that they were to be held fin trust by the State and interest at per cent. per annum should be paid on all the proceeds from the sale or lease of the lands. All well enough.

TRUSTEES TO SERVE
SCHOOL BOSSES MAY DO JURY AND
 ROAD DUTY.
Opinion of Attorney tseneral Not FinaI On Question But the lChsnces Are He Win Decide Against
 the Trustees.

Those district school trustees who, by a ruling of Attorney General Alex M Garber in April, were exempted from payment of poll taxes for the current year. may not fare so we'll aft. ar ell While no poll tax will be due from them until October 1. 1908. 1t is high ly probable that they may have to do jury duty as well as engage in road work.
 The final opinion of the Attorney General has not been made upon this point of jury and road duty, but. as the dough man told the baker, 1t Is pretty nigh made up." And when 1t is finally announced the tip is that all thosA court and county ofYicers who have insisted on the patriotic services of school trustees will be up- held Tn their procedure.
 The Attorney General has been so absorbed in other matters of State that he does not at this time commit himself on the trustee proposition. Nor will be able to hand out his ruling until he returns from his trip to Bos- ton where he is to attend the annual meeting of the Knights of Pythias Supreme Lodge.
 There are between 10000 and 12,o0O' district school trustees in Alabama who have for several years ben exempt by statute. from the payment of poll tax and from road and jury duty. The past Legislature was not. so kind to this class of public servants. however. and adopted the new Code which omit ted the exemption act.
 On the question arising in one of the counties as to the liability of the trustees to poll taxes. the matter was submitted through the Department of Education to the Attorney General. He promptly rendered an opinion which had the effect of carrying the aplication of the old exemption act up to october 1 this year. On the latter date the new Code will govern and make no distinction as to trustees, and the collectors are to collect no hack taxes, from those men who served tn the past as school trustees.
 But with performing road and jury service, however, the liability is a dif- ferent matter. Since the Code went into effect May 1 the liability, 1t Is said. began with that date. and not neces- sarIly with October l. the date appli- cable to poll tax payment since the last time that a voter could have paid his poll tax prior to october |, 1905 was october 1. 1907. On the contrary, road and jury duty are liable to Do demanded at any date.

A NetD Code " Joker"
 May Cost $IO, 900

But in 1903 at the session of our Leg islature next to the last. the Monteyal- 10 people wanted some money with which to erect badly needed dormf- tory. Friends of the institution de- vlsed a scheme for an appropriation since 1t was not possible to reach the money then in the Treasdry of Ala oama and on which only the interest was available. The Legislature was in- duced, it seems. to appropriate $50, ,00o with the agreement that the State should not be liable for any interest on the land proceeds until there should have gone into the Treasury of the State as much as $50.000. Thereafter. the only interest to be payable to the college was on the sums accommodating over and above s50.000.
 The Code Committee, reviewing the transactions. did some thinking of its own, however, and inserted section in the Code. (written by Code Com mittee. W. c. c.), calling on the State Treasurer to pay every cent of back and current interest on the land pro- ceeds of Montevailo and to pay all fn- terest in future on such money. and to do it quarterly. It seemed to sur prise State officials when they ran across the measure.
 A sum approximating $44.o00 has ac- eumulated in the Treasury to this school account and Interest has been waived on the sums collected since the act of 1903. Unless the Attorney Gen eral or some other lawyer can figure some short cut. the joker stands and the school at Montevallo stands the winner by some ss.f0o of accumulated interest.
 Attorney General Garber may be set down as working hard on the matter. He is probing to do justice to all sides. His decision will hang on whether the Code section of 1907 repeals that stip- ulation of the act of 1908 about the in- terest waiver. But his opinion Is re- served until he returns from the East. This may be ten days or more. He will decide whether the state and the trus- tees of the college acting in good faith could so contract witllNeach other as to alter the terms of the land grant of Congress.
 It can be seen, too. that the s9.4oo may not be all the consideration in- voived. It may be some time yet be- fore the fund to the credit of Monte valio rises to $50.o00. And if the Code section operates as a repeal of the loan
