"The Wolf"

One of the most striking features of "The Wolf" Eugene Walters great play, which will be presented at the Jefferson theatre Thursday, matinee and night is said to be the finale of the third act. which is played on dark stage, with the moon hiding behind dense clouds. The fight between the two principal char acters Is not clearly seen by the audi ence. but the exchange of defiance, the scuffle with the sound of a falling body at last, are heard. and until the winner in the fight reveals his face by the glare of match with which he is calmly light ing cigarette, the audience is in doubt as to the outcome.

 The amount of money secured by them was SIS. 80. while there were also number of valuable papers. Both of the men are described by Harason as being excep- tionany well dressed one being dressed in gray. and the other in dark blue serge suit. Both were over six feet in height. The one in gray had jet black hair and gray eyes with black beard showing under the skin. The other was of ruddy com- plexion with tow colored hair. They drove large white horse to the trap.

 Office of the Church.
 Ut isn't the work of the church to make laws. It is the work of the church to make Christian men who shall be right eous citizens and make righteous laws. Dr. Denney, sane and prominent teacher of our ministry today, has suggested that our Lord mourned over wasted ideals when He said, The kingdom of God suf- fereth violence and the violent take 1t by force I know. and all the pastors know, that we cant bring in the Kingdom of God with any swordt any law, any bat tie with tyrants. The kingdom of God Is not politics It is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. But the duty of citizen Is not opposed to this, or else America will never be made Chris tian. The problem of American citizen- ship is to saturate our laws and our courts and our police system with the love of Christ.
 "Poltics is no place for the church or for the pastor so far as he represents the church. But to the critics of the min istry fling back the sheer about political parsons. The ministers of Alabama are in this fight, and are taking risks, but trust and believe that they are In it as citizens only We know there are things the law cannot do. As pastors we make an appeal to the hearts and minds of men by the cross of Christ As citizens the men whom the church trains will each for himself further civic and political righteousness and the rescue of the op- pressed Being citizens we must take the sword"

TO RESPECT BOARD
BOARD OF REVENUE HAS POWER
 OF COURT.
In the Future, Disguntied and Dis- satisffed Persons, Must be Care
 ful How They Talk at the Meetfngn.

Of late there have been variou, gentlemen, mostly road contractors who have taken occasion to vent theii ire upon the Board of Revenue. at the meetings of that body. There. have been lively sessions at times, when these wrathful folks inveighed at the Board of Revenue of Montgomery county, and all things thereto.
 But it won't happen any more, un- less the contractors and others with a greivance desire to go to Jail. or pay fine. For County Attorney Watts. has dug into the code--it seems that there Is little of everything fin the code--and brought to light a sec. tion which yeats the Board of Revenue with the dignity of court The President of the Board has power 10 assess fine. or to impose a jail sem renee upon any person who Is so i'm discreet as to undertake a contempt of court
 The revelation of the Code was made at the meeting of the Board yesterday. And the Board jumped at IL, and now say 1t Is rigfdly in force.
 And now 1t may behoove the hoi- headed. who think they possess a agrievance against the Board and its doings. to keep cool. and. if he has any swearing to do. to do 1t gently TOT there Is little consideration of a ane or jail sentence as an alterpa- tive. "' "''e- H"

NOTHING FOR CO0SA
SURVEY OF RIVER sTRvrkpN
 FROM BILL.
Senators Bankhead and Johnston Cou,d Not Save the Project When the Measure Was Up For
 Consideration.

Washington, D. C.. Feb. 27-(Spe- ctal)--After an animated debate. the Senate today knocked out the proyis- ion In the rivers and harbors bill for survey of the Coosa River.
 This amendment was added to the House bill by the Senate Committee on Commerce. and quite a surprise was caused when it was decided to elimin- ate the item.
 Senators Bankhead and Johnston spoke on the question and did their ut- most to save the paragraph. but with out avail.
 Some of the Alabama members of the House think that this item will be re- stored when the bill gets into confer- ence.
 The language of the Senate commit tees amendment which was stricken out is as follows: "Coosa River with a view to storage reservoirs at, near or above the sites of locks and dams numbered twelve, fourteen and fifteen, by cooperation with. the Alabama Power Company or any other corpora tion duly organized, under the State Jaws of Alabama in the development The report to state what proportion of the cost above should be borne by the United tSates." - President Roosevelt has steadily op- posed these power plant measures and has vetoed two within the past year.
 The Mussell Shoals project is not in this bill as it was Incorporated fin separate measure by Representative Richardson. It has not been acted upon this session.

State Commissioners Hold Session a
 Lafayette.

Lafayette.
 Lafayette, Feb. 27-(Special.)-- Nessrs. Mitchell and Powell, of the State Tax Commission. were here this week and appeared before the County Commissioners in opposition to the re- duction of the valuation of the lands of this County by the Tax Assessor. The Commissioners had cited the Tax Collector to appear and show cause why he should not reduce the valua- tion of the lands assessed for tax, on the ground that they are valued much higher than is the case in any of the surrounding counties
 The State Tax Commissioners in- formed the County Commissi opers that they would not stand for any reduc- tion. and stated to the Collector that he would be liable to impeachment If he made the reduction. As a matter of fact the lands of this County are assessed at very much higher val uation than similar lands in the other counties, and by reason of that fact the people are paying more than their share of the taxes. ...
 About fifteen merchants of Lanette were summoned this week to appear before the Probate Judge here and show cause why they should not take out State and County license to sell cider. This was done at the instance of the newly appointed Back Tax Com missioner for this County. Joe Carlisle. They had been advised that the kinds

SPECIAL SPRING TERM
 OF THE CIRCUIT COURT

Judge W. w. Pearson. of the Cir cult Court, has Issued call for a spe- cial spring term of the court in Mont gomery, to begin Monday, April 26, to continue for two weeks.
