BANK OF ENLGAND RA|SESD|SCOUNT
 RATE
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The atten- ton of the financial world is focused on the Bank of England agai. today. but the third advance in the official rate on discount to per cent
 October z the rate was put at per cent after having stood at 2 1-2 per cent since the first of April. To days 5 per cent rate therefore repre- sents rise of 2 1-2 per cent, doubling the bank rate in two weeks. Such drastic action is rare except in panic times, and must be accepted as an indication of extraordinary conditions. Four and onekalf per cent was the response to the banking panic which had broken out in New York On No vember f the rate went to per cent.
 The rapid increase is the result of an acute demand for gold from New York for rescue purposes. That the present action of the Bank of England is directed in part against New York's speculative borrowers is affirmed in news adyices from London. U. s. Steel was most notably affected al. though none of the active stocks were entirely exempt from the pressure. The New York money market did not share in the sensational action of the foreign money markets, tn ecaIl loan rate holding at 1 1-2 per cent as the minimum. Bonds are easy. Total sales s2,762, 900.

O my love, my Queen of May, The light of youth is gone. Thy balmy tresses gather gray, Thy rosy lips are wan,
 Will thy true eyes alter yet.
 And their nuptial smile forget? O my love, will Time deceive, Will he wither true Love so? There is more in Love, believe, Than the silly nations know;
 More in Love. when bloom is
 dead,
 Than the rose-wreath round his
 head O my love, and if thou need Harbor when the north winds blow; If thy tender footprints bleed On the Hints among the snow;
 Love will raise a sheltered cot, Where the ice-blast enters not. O my true-love, we are wise; When snow whitens all our land. Underneath the cloudy skies We will travel hand in hand;
 Since we have not far to go To our rest beyond the snow. N Lord De Tabley.

 The writer of the American Nigga zine articles confesses that his com panion through Mexico, and his prin- cipal informant. was the fellow De Lara, whose anarchistic talk on the streets of Phoenix made him a town nuisance. Presumably De Lara was the chief interpreter through whom the magazine writer got his inter- views and information" Its lack of reliability is obvious if De Lara must be considered the authority.

IN SELMA
WORK ON THE BROAD STREET
 SWER.
Dedication of Baptist Church Will Take Place Today With Interesting Pr0gram-News of Cen-
 tPal City.

Selma, Feb. 27.-(Special )-A large of laborers began the work this morn ing of putting in nc wand larger sewer on Broad Street.
 The putting In of this sewer is prep aratory to the work of paving that street. and which will probably be started during the coming week or the following week.
 The starting of the digging for the laying of the sewer pipe was called the initial work of paving. and Mayor Atkins at o'clock this morning with a pick and shovel dug the first dirt on the work.
 This work upon the part of Mayor Atkins was witnessed by e number of citizens who at that hour congregated at the corner of Water and Broad Street where the work began.
 The work of laying the enlarged wa- ter main down Broad Street has pro- gressed rapidly since 1t was started a few days ago. A big ditch has been dug for a block and the work Of talk ing up the old water main will be started during the coming week.
 With the digging up of Broad Street for the putting down of the enlarged water main and sewer pipe the street presents very torn up appearance and caused a great deal of inconvenience to pedestrians. The work of tearing up Water Street will be started as soon as the sewer ano water pipes have been laid on Broad Street as far as the paving conta.cts for that street have been let.

RUSH TO PAY TAXES NEARLY e3,OOO TAKEN OVER THE
 COUNTER YESTERDAY. Fully One-half Of Those Eligible Have
 Paid For Privilege Of Walk ing On the
 Streets.

Nearly s3,000 was the amount of the sum taken in by the city office for street taxes yesterday. At the open ing of the office for the days work, 1t was estimated that there were more than three hundred persons in the room clamoring to pay up. Up on the office railing they climbed brandishing bills. rapping on the wood work with coins and doing their best to attract attention so they could pay up.
 Three windows were opened, so the official family could all get busy. and clerks from other departments were at times called into relieve members of the city clerks office force, who were winded from over work. Surging and chattering the crowd. principally com posed of negroes. swayed about the windows trying to pay. Hour after hour, the rush kept up until late in the day. By o'clock in the afternoon the worst was over and the bunch desir- ing to square th emselves with the city, had dwindled down to only four or five deep before the windows.
 Because of the unusual amount of work. the total number was not count ed up when the day closed. but 1t was generally conceded that close on to l. 900 people had paid in their tax money. On the total amount of street taxes paid It Is said half or the e1giples are in the list. Never has the city had such a rush of payers since the first license or tax was. inaugurated.
 Of the male citizens in the city, the eligibles for the tax are estimated at 5000 and half of these have loosened up Beginning Monday the police will get busy on the delinquents for 1t Is the policy of the municipal officers to get in all the money due the city for all sorts of taxes so there will be no further delay in floating the bonds lately authorized. The necessity for getting some of these bonds on the mark ct is more than pressing and the active work on all sids. is the result of the desire and demand that the bonds be placed so necessary work can be started.
 The wharf bonds are the first con- sideration. They are said to be the most pressing and they are the small est of the lot. Following them. or possibly when they are placed, will come the bonds for school improve ments. It having been decided that besides the enlargement of several of the. buildings that 1t is necessary to build a new girls high sch ool.
 This week the police will begin the work of looking up delinquent tax payers and the war on the slow ones

ON STATEMENTS
 OF INSURANCE COMPANIES

bert Sexton is busily engaged in filing the reports of the various insurance companies doing business in the State of Alabama. The laws of the State provide that all companies which ex- pect to do business in Alabama shall file statement of the condition of the company and pay a license fee by March I. and 1t would seem, judging by the quantity of mail which the Insurance Commissioner is receiving. that all of the companies put of the job until the last possible moment.
 MT. Sexton stated yesterday after noon that he hoped to have the reports in such shape that a statement could be made on Monday morning. as to the companies which will continue bust. ness.

THROWN FROM
 FIRE WAGON Captain Griffith Is
 Hurt. HAS A NARROW ESCAPE Chemical Horse Falls in Going to
 a Fire. The Fireman is Thrown From His Seat Onto the Tongue of the Wagon
 Between the Struggling

Captain E. J. Griffith of the fire de- partment was thrown headlong yes terday from his seat Qn the chemical wagon when one of the horses slipped at Monroe and South Court Streets, and nearly lost his life. The apparatus came out in response to . call at 3:30 o'clock p. m, for attention to a small roof fire. on house occupied by Rob- ert Gregory, 57 Carolina Street.
 The turn from Madison Avenue Into South Court Street. on the way north ward. was made before the racing horses had struck their stride; then the driver, A. F. Crusius, let the ani- mals out for the long Court Street stretch. AS the flying vehicle passed Monroe Street, an Ice wagon was seen partially blocking the way. and avoid the obstruction. 0urt Street, near Monroe Is very narrow. and the center of the roadway. to make a wa tershed. is raised. giving the surface a decided slope from the center to either side.
 In the deviation from their course. the right hand horse slipped. sliding on the paving a moment and bringing the apparatus to a sudden halt. The lurch and stop threw Captain Griffith from his place, over the dashboard. and on the wagon tongue between the animals. from which precarious posi- ton he was jolted by the struggling horses to the earth.
 In a moment he was up and out of danger, but he suffered several severe bruises, one blow. where he struck his forehead on the wagon tongue. dazing him for a moment. The horses were held by the strong harness and quieted In a moment. and after a few minor repairs the wagon went on It's way to the fire.
 In front of the horses. as the wagon came to a standstill. was @ hack, under the wheels of which the legs of the fallen horse stretched. but the hack horse had been in the business for @ very long time and did not move.

Railroads Turn Over Sum of $41,656.73. IMMEDIATELY FILE SUIT
 FOR RETURN OF MONEY The Entire Sum is Tied Up, Pend ing , Decision. The Corporations Attack the Proyision q the Alabama Code, Relative to
 the Tax, Declaring 1t Uncon- constitutional.

It was a day of land ofice business In the Probate once yesterday, when el1.S5s.73 was paid in, as the foreign franchise tax of three railroads, the Louisville and Nashville. the Central of Georgia, and the Atlantic Coast Line, and the Louisville Property Company, an adjunct of the Louisville and Nash vile.
 But there Is a string tied to the pay ment, and the other end of the string lies with the respective justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. If the court upholds Alabama's law providing for the payment of a foreign franchise tax. the State of Alabama re- tains two-thirds of the forty thousand and odd dollars; but if the Court de- Sclares the law unconstitutional. then back 1t goes to the railroad, and the same amount which was paid last year, and for the recovery Of which a suit was entered.
 The money Is paid under protest. For the statute provides, that unless the foreign franchise tax Is paid, then the business of the delinquent foreign Corporation must cease. And to act in accord with the law pending the out come of their efforts to knock out the law. the railroads pay. But the money will be held at the bank until a de- cision comes from Washington.
 Immediately following the payment of their taxes. the Louisville and erty Company. and the Central of Georgia filed suits in the City Court of Montgomery against Probate Judge Gaston for the return of the money paid. The suits are almost identical with those of last year. when an ef- fort was made to recover the 1908 taxes.
 The complainant corporations attack the provision of the Alabama code rel ative to tax on the franchise of foreign corporations, declaring it unconstitu- tional. The main point of attack Is that the complainants declare the pro- vision in violation, of the fourteenth amendment. saying that it denies the equal protection of the laws demanded by the amen 1ment. Besides this, there are many other averments in the lengthy bills of complaint by which the roads strive to knock out the Ala banna law.
 The same course was adopted last year. when suit was filed for the re- covery of the foreign franchise tax paid under protest The Louisville and Nashville Railroad. the Central of Georgia, the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line. and the Louisville Property Company entered the contest. Judge Sayre decided against them in the City Court. and, upon an appeal to the State Supreme Court, the decision was again adversed with the exception Of one dissenting opinion. And now the fight is to be waged in the Su- preme Court of the United States
 This year the same roads enter the light, and they are joined by the South ern Express Company.
 The amounts paid in yesterday were $24.027.2s by the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad. on s15.s4s,1s9 In capital
