The geological vanguard of the stato fair has arrived. sam Strauss has 1t on Dexter Avenue at the cor ner of Lawrence Street. No admission charges will be made. because the "turkie' is a little too big to handle comfortably. It Is announced. however. that whoever has the nerve to carve his initials on the back of the animal or fish or whatever a 'turkle'' ia. may do so for the nominal sum of the price of six drinks for the crowd.
 Turtles have come and turtles have gone. but this is the biggest turtle that Montgomery has seen in many many months The local express com pany are sure of the fact. off the tur- tie cost eight dolllrs of real m ,nsv and three beer checks each to the helpers on the wagon for It's del. ,try.

Tax Assessor of Bount County. snd "a member of the comniittes resigned ft the meeting. giving as a reason for his resignation his intention of being a candi- date for State Auditor.
 One of the interested spectators to the meeting was Brooks Smith.

N. O. AiIsood of Biount. and Brooks Smith of Hale. Possibly there will be other candidates. The last race for au- ditor was one of the most interesting con- tests pulled off during the campaign.
 Mir. Allgood for number of years has been Blount countys Tax Assessor. He is popular in that section of the State and is well known throughout the State.
 Mir. Smith for nearly ten years has been in the Auditors office. Few men in the history of the State have been so famii- far with the taxation and financial affairs of Alabama.

TEMPLES TO UNITE
BIC sHRINERs MEETING WILL RE HELD HERE.
Mobile and Nfontgomery, Temples Are Expected to Combine in Largest Gathering. of the Kind in
 AlnhAn,m.


 The biggest Shriners meeting ever held in Alabama is planned for next month in october by local shriners. The two big temples at Birmingham and Montgpfgery are expected to unite in a meeting at Montgomery at which no less than seventy-five neorhytes will be rushed over the hot sands.
 The Montgomery Shriners are a part of the Birmingham Temple and this temple in membership has shown in re- cent years one of the largest increases ever noted in the South. The Mobile temple is also strong and thriving. For a joint meeting and installation both Shriner Temples have been urged to come to Montgomery. Inasmuch as there will be reduced rates on the rail- roads during the State Fair 1t is ex- held during the State Fair.
 No less than 800 Shriners are ex- pected to come to Montgomery to at tend the meeting. The local Shriners who have been at work, arranging the preliminary plars are confident that it will be the most notable gathering of Shriners that has been seen in the South. The 5hriners have another reason for desiring the meeting to be held during the State Fair. They want to get some of the big animals which will be on exhibition at the Fair to form a part of the parade. The last initiation in Montgomery was made notable by reason of the fact that a circus was wintering at Vandiver Park and the camels and elephants formed an unusual feature of the really notable parade.

The Big Turtle Has Come
 And 1t Brings on Turtle Talk

noon, and since his discovery on the sidewalk has attracted a great deal of attention. What will be done with the steaks snd the soup of MT. Turtle has not yet been announced. but 1t is sa fe to say that The geological depart ment of the state fair will not see anything other than the shell
 Now what do you know about tur- tle7
 Do you know that the big thing crawis upon the beach and digs A hole in the sand during the quiet hours ot the night and deposits therein 300 eggs? Do yon know that the not sand hatches these eggs and the little turtles streak over the beach to the water as fast as they can skee-dad- dle It's a fact
 Now a shark has way of telling just when the little turtles will make streak for the water and he waits just outside for the procession. The little turtles come and the big shark swallows them in precisely the way that the Kitty does the few remain ing chips that a foolish youth has left from an all night session. The big shark eats about 200 little turtles and the little sharks eat nearly all the rest. Of course if the little turtles chance. and 1t Is fact that of the BOO eggs and 800 little turtles about three escape to become big turtles.
 And then after a thousand years the big turtle gets caught and Mont- gomery has a new something to look at. and a select few have a good din- ner or several good dinners as they arc favored.

CAPT. WILEY TALKS
THANKS FOR HONOR
 CONFERRED.
The New short Term Congressman DtNcusse. The National situation And Predicts BFyan's Election
 fin November.

Captain o. c. Wiley. of Troy who was given the unanimous nomination for the unexpired term of his brother. Congressman A. A. Wiley. by the Democrats of the Second District was in the city yesterday and voiced his gratitude for the honor that would be 'conferred upon him. He expressed confidence too, that the Novemoer elections would result in the triumphant selection of William Jsn- nings Bryan.
 Captain wiley's term will extend from his election on November next to March 4th. of next year at which time Hon. S. H. Dent will take his seat for the long term. Captain Wiley was accompan nied by J. J. Speight who was private secretary to Congressman A. A. Wiley and who will serve in like capacity to Captain Wiley during his term at Washington.
 Tn discussing the flattering vote given him. Captain Wiley yesterday said:
 'T am most grateful to the good people of the Second District and properly sensible of the high honor they have conferred upon me. I shall serve them during the short term of my incumbency to the best of my ability"
 speaking or the pEeSloSutial cam paign Mir Wiley said:
 '"rhe election of the peerless Ameri- can Is, in my opinion, assured. be- lieve that Bryan. without doubt, will be the choice of the American elec- torate at the polls on November 3. The Democrats everywhere are united. The harmony of the New York conven- ton is a most potent token of the unity existing in the party. The Democratic platform in It's every feat ure merits the earnest consideration of all good men. The Republican can didate, nominated by the use of politi- cal patronage. is the simple jumping jack of Roosevelt. The Republican platform is weak, vague and evasive. requiring constant amendment by the candidate from time to time as he finds 1t lacking in harmony with public sen timent. The people are snarting from the effects of three successive admin istrations of public misrule and gover- mental abuse believe that they will decree a change"
 Captain Wiley and Mir. Speight left Wednesday afternoon for Union Springs.

PER CAPITA
 INCREASING May Reach $40 as
 Minimum EDUCATION FUND IS HIGHER Eetimated Figures of the State Auditor Are SI,707,663.80 Yer Capits as Computed Is Biased on an Estimated Census of es7,o7A
 Which Is only Ap-
 proximate. @
EDUCATION FUND IS HIGHER

On an estimate of the State Auditor furnished the Department of Education yesterday. 1t now appears that the school per capita for next year will be at least $40. This Is more well come news to the various counties of the State than the early estimate that the per capita would swing between S2.15 and $2.20.
 It Is not impossible that the per capita will exceed $40. This amount is estimated because the aggregate school census of the State is as yet only approximately determined.
 The reason that the per capita now visible is higher than the early pre- ffctions Is that the latter were based on the same funds for apportionment that were based for the scholastic year ie07-0g. Now that the Auditor certi. fes to Superintendent H. C.. Gunneis that khe total educational fund for the common schools would for the year 19os-os exceed that of the current year by more than two hundred thousand dollars, it was easN to see that the per capita would soar much higher than e2.20.
 The least fund for next years tlsos. o9) apportionment will be S1.707.636.80. There are hopes that this sum will be increased on the vef.;ication of the Auditor
 If this estimated total available fund be divided by es7.o74. or the estimated number Of children of school age in Ala bama. the per capital will be seen to land somewhere about $z.fS. The State school census as estimated. how ever. uses the first figures for the city of Montgomery while a new census Is being taken here by reason of inac- euracies in the enumeration. in July. The estimate also includes the 1908 census of one small city whose report has so far been delayed.
 The exact excess of tee available fund for 1eos-0e over that of 1907-08 Is s213.010.43. according to the Audi tors figures yet to be verified. This indicates that the education fund de- rived from the three mill tax Is an increase of about 20 per cent over that of the year previous. being due. of course. to the material advances Tn property valuations for this year just closing. ~ zes
 The general education fund for i9es- es was increased by $50.000 on account of the special school appropriation act of March s1. 1907, giving $300.000 for the first year and $350.00O for the com ing year and thereafter.
 The total to be used by the Alabama normal schools the coming year is S979,500. ssf 5a z -a

THREATEN "TRVINTTEs." 1"

Baltimore. Md. Sept l6-A mob of about 80 men descended at an early hour on the camping ground of the ''Irvini. tes" religious sect which is holding a convention at Brooklyn, Arundel County. and set hs-e to two large tents used for meeting purposes.
 The tents were destroyed and a house in which was stored quantity of provisions was partly burned. The two guards at the place retreated to the house occupied by the sect and rsIscd the alarm.
 The first members to appear were menaced with pistols but when the religionists came out In large forces the mob disappeared.
 The principal cause of the trouble. it Is thought was the vigorous preach ing of the "Irvinites." in which they denounced the people of the town generally.
