SLIP, A MISTAKE
REPRESENTATIVE MANER TALKS
 OF CODE ERROR.
Provtaion in Reference to Minimum School Term Was UnintentionalIy
 Left Out by Committee and

School Term Was UnintentionalIy
 Left Out by Committee and
 OmciaIs.
 According to a statement of O. c. Maner. Representative of Montgomery County, given out yesterday. the omis- sion of the minimum school term stat ute from the new Code was accidental. At least. Representative Maner says that the omission was accidental so far as the members of the Codifcation Committee were concerned.
 The law seems to have been dropped by a mistake in the system of check ing the multitude of educational laws that make up the Alabama system. This was the explanation given by MT. Maner. State Superintendent of Edu- cation, Harry c. Gunnels, was out of the city yesterday and could not be seen to ascertain whether this was his view of the matter.
 There was not a man on the Com mission who would have done one thing to cripple the schools as this omission would" said Mir. Maner, when shown a press account of the omission. "I am surA MT. Gunnels would not have let 1t go by knowingly as he is, above all of us. interested in the pub- lie schools of the State. I see the force of the minimum term feature and am sorry it was left out. if 1t is finally
 
 It appears; from the statement of MT. Maner, that in the matter of including and excluding certain educational laws, the Codihcation Committee classified the numerous acts in force at the time and handed them over to the head of the Department of Education for checking It is the idea of the Mont gomery County member of that com mittee, that on account of the short time allotted to this task, possibly the minimum term section was left out.
 Mir. Maner declared that the raise of the retail liquor license due the State was deliberately put into law by the committee. though he expressed the belief that it was the idea not to col lect the license this year, but that 1t would become effective in 1909. An other deliberate act of the committee was to insert the section compelling g the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, to make daily reports of his office to the State Treasurer. It was said that this was requested by the Governor.

Another Banner Day.

Monday was another banner day
for business in Hartford. At am early
hour Monday morning the rumble of
tobacco wagons could be- heard COM
ing in from all directions and by sum
rise the factory lot was crowded with
wagons waiting to be unlqnded. There
were about seventy-five loads regis
tered here Monday. This included
forty loads which had been stored
here since last Monday, when the
Imperial Company suspendeh re-
ceiving, owing 10 the crowded condi-
ton of the factory. By hard work,
with a large force of hands, they I'M
loaded what tobacco was registered
last week, leaving about thiry-five
loads to be- unloaded Tuesday.
Notwithstanding the rush and
crowded condition of the factory, the
best of feeling prevailed and the farm
ers are going away well pleased with
the treatment received from Mr.. Tom
Barron and his assistant, as we'll as
the excellent prices received for
their tobacco.
Tuesday was another busy day for
the large force of hands at the to-
bacco factory. And regardless Of the
cold rain which fell at intervals the
lot at the factory was crowded with
wagons anxious to unload. There were
fifteen loads registered then, besides
the large number left over from Mon
day. Owing to the dark cloudy day
and the crowded condition of the fac
tory they were only able to unload
twenty-six leads, and at night had
still fifteen loads left over.
Mr.. Barron, the manager, as we'll
as Mr.. Tanner, the grader, urge the
people not to bring any more to-
bacco for a few days.
