INT TANGIBLE TAX
 WILL BE TESTED Montgomery Light and Water power Co. Refuses to Pay Tax ANOTHER HARD QUESTION Citizens Cut Into New Wards By Changing of Lines Do Not Know
 Where To Vote-Garber
 Must Decide.
ANOTHER HARD QUESTION

Montgomery, May 6.-(Special. 1.-The question of the validity of the new tax on intangible franchises will be taken up by Attorney General A. M. Garber right away, on application of Tax Collector Halle of Montgomery county The Mont gomery Light and Waterpower company, through Vice President Robert J. Chamb- CTS, local executive officer some days ago gave notice that 1t would not pay the tax preferring to test it's constitutionality. This notice will be considered by Attorney Garber and plan of action decided upon right away.
 This act is one of the revenue producers of the last session of the legislature and was passed to reach classes of holdings like corporation franchises that cannot be regarded as tangible Most of the cor porations interested have contended that it is not legal and is in fact double tax ation. MT. Chambers says that with the present list of taxes and licenses on his company 1t is paying out F per cent of it's total income for this alone.
 Vexing Question.
 The city of Anniston sends up a diff cult question for Attorney General Garber to solve. It is this: In a city where ward lines have been changed recently where does citizen who has not moved his resi- dence vote? Is it in the new ward in which he is now located, or the old, which he has been let out of? The county registrar asked Auditor Brandon about 1t and General Brandon put it up to MT. Garber. As the election for city officers is due May Il the answer to the ques- ton becomes very interesting to the peo pie.
 Minor Appointments.
 Gov. B. E. Conner has appointed these registrars: Limestone county, J. w. Jack son; Fayette, J. H. Hyde, and Bibb, L. c. Cleveland. Game and Fish Commissioner John H. Wallace, Jr., announced the ap- pointment of o. L. Mitchell game war den of Elmore county.

Salesman commits suicIde.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-05-07

When I was brought to your Sana- torium for treatment, as you will re- member, l was almost helpless. My only thought by day and by night was whiskey and cigarettes; in fact, it was a case of whiskey and cigarette mania with me, and as you will remember l was almost paralyZed. l had become so broken down in health, and my nerves were so unsteady that l could not hold cigarette, and in order to satisfy my craving for cigarettes my wife would kindly make them for me. and in making them would make sev- eral at a time and lay them on the table near the bed, where l could reach them at all times during the night. 1 would smoke as high as one or two dozen cigarettes during the night and would inhale every breath of the smoke.
 Some time after my return home I concluded to rid myself entirely of cigarettes and I ordered Home Treat ment for the cigarette habit, and judg- ing from my experience with your cigarette remedy, am satisfied that any one who wishes to do so can rid him self of tobacco in any form. He has only to makeup his mind that he real ly wants to quit and the medicine you furnish will do the rest. In my case it has rendered the odor of cigarettes and whiskey so obnoxious to me that I cannot bear the smell and when some of my friends who are addicted to the use of cigarettes and whiskey get near me with combination of whislSey and cigarettes on their breath, it nauseates me to such ar extent that l almost vomit.
 l began smoking cigarettes when I was IA years old. and in order to do so had to hide from my father. l was always ashamed to smoke them in his presence. l was 35 years old when I took the treatment with you, so you see I had stuck to cigarettes 21 years
