ALABAMA FOOTBALL
TEAM VERY LIGHT

University, August 19.-(Specia1.)-A
g,ance at the statistics of the varsity
football team, which has made such
creditable showing this season by winning
its first three games while it's opponents
have been unable to score, reveals some
interesting facts to the admirer OF GRID
iron sports. The most noteworthy is
that. under the new rules, light team
the university has perhaps the lightest
eleven in the Southern association this
season-can more than hold its own with
heavier aggregations provided that it has
speed, endurance and football sense.
The II men on the varsity squad aver
age 20 years and about months in age.
Their mean height is feet 10 inches, and
their total weight 257S pounds, or ISL
pounds to the man. 1t is thus seen that
the team is slender, for 1t averages two
pounds less than is normal for its height
The men average two years and half
in college and one and three-quarters sea-
sons on the team, though the IL men who
are bearing the brunt of the fighting av-
erage three years in college and two sea-
sons in the game.
The individual figures are as follows:
Countess, age 2S, height feet ~ inches.
weight 1853 pounds, years in college 8,

Liability to Taxation.
Attorney General John c. Hart will go
to Washington the latter part of Novem-
Der for the purpose of arguing before
the supreme court the states side of
the litigation In which it is sought to
establish the liability to taxation of the
greater part of the property OF the Geor-
gia Railroad and Banking company.
Under its peculiarly worded charter the
Georgia railroad is now paying taxes to
the state to the extent If only II of l
per cent Of its net income, and 1t has
insisted that it is not taxable beyond
this, no matter to what extent it accu-
mulates property.
The Georgia railroad is now worth many
millions more than its charter was IN
tended to cover, so the state claims. The
pbvsical property of the road is returned
at nearly 100000, and on the basis of
other railroad returns its franchise Is
worth at least s., 0O0, 600, but this has never
been returned, even as a matter or form,
because the road claims it is neither la
BILE to franchise tax nor tax upon It's
physical property.
The state has gotten the matter down
to a point where 1t admits that the road
has a charter exemption to the extent
of 81, 900 600 and no more. Above tnat II
holds that the road is liable for state,
county and city taxes.
On the other hand, the Georgia road
event went SO far as to let the Louisville
and Nashville, one of its lessees, build a
freight depot on it's property costing more
than half million dollars, and then
claim II was exempt from taxation under
the original charter.
Tn the lower court the decision was
partly in favor of the state and partly
against it, Now the question Is before
the supreme court of the United states.
and the argument which is to take place
next month will be preliminary to a nnal
decision.

which consequently feels sore on pressure,
or the tenderness is felt toward either
side. This tenderness is commonly asso-
ciated with an unpleasant feeling of heat
"a burning sensation'-as It is termed
by some persons. There is also 'gnaw-

other anomalous sensations complained of
after taking food, and generally within
an hour after eating.
AS might be supposed the intensity of
the symptom is proportionate to the guam
tity and quality Of the meal. When the
stomach Is empty, sensation of craving
or emptiness gives most trouble. This
often causes a false appetite, which, by
inducing the person to eat heartily ag-
gravates the sufferings. Thirst generally
causes much annoyance; heartburn; wa

are not infrequent attendants. The
