GOVERNOR TO MAKE MANY RE-
QUESTS OF NEXT LEGISLATURE
Gov. Wilson has so many import
ant things to communicate to the
next Legislature, that he will probably
make an early start on his message
and will spend most of his spare time
this fall on the document. The Gov
ernor has been accommodating data
and memoranda for the last two years
to be used in connection with his re-
concentrations to the Legislature.
I WINTER SENDS MEN TO JAIL
According to Deputy Jailer John Mon
roe, of the jefferson County Jail, the
chilling winds of winter send many
men to his hotel. There is a certain
class of persons which can't keep out
of Jail unless you lock the gates on
the inside, said Mr.. Monroe The jail
er's books show that during the win
ter months there are about 100 more
prisoners than at other times. The
tonic effects of regular house, I'M
troubled sleep and reasonable exer-
else makes the jail a goodly habitat
to many.
TEACHERS GET PAY:-Auditor
James and Treasurer Farley have
| nnada orrauoapaantc 20 cand out navt
week the checks for payment of the
salaries of county teachers amount
ing to 100000. This will be the first
installment Of school money for the
present school year and the teachers
will be glad to learn there will be
no delay in receiving their salaries.
All this amount is not now In the
treasury but the Sheriffs are paying
up promptly and the money will be
on hand. One thing that handicaps
the administration is that tax payers
have found out that the penalty goes
on a month later than it did two
years ago, and are taking advantage
Of the fact, thus making it hard for
the Sheriffs to bring In enough mon
ey to meet the first payment of the
school money.
SLAYER SILENT:-Morris Wilcox
sen, who late Wednesday shot and
killed Jno. w. Montgomery of Glasgow,
Republican candidate for the legisla-
ture and one of the most
prominent men in this section Of the
State, maintains an air of silence In
the jail there The families Of both
men attribute the tradgedy TO lnsani-
ity, the men having been lifelong
friends.
