About Fire Insurance Company.

Settling up a defunct insurance busi- ness Is slow work, as Capt A. c. Sexton. deputy insurance commissioner, will tes- tify to. Just back from Atlanta, he re- ports that it will take until February, maybe longer. to wind up the affairs of the Atlanta Birmingham Fire company, which went to the bad shortly after the Frisco fire, as a result of which 1t had to close up shop. AS receiver Captain Sexton has been on the go for three years or more. The only thing left. how ever, is few reinsurance cases pend ing in the federal court. which ought to be adjudicated by the second month of the new year.
 With the adjustment coming the way of the company, Captain Sexton thinks there may be in all 50 to 55 per cent div idends to apply to all claims outside of San Francisco direct Liability of tain reinsurance claims is what is talk ing up the time of the court. Captain Sexton took over the receivership of this company while deputy commissioner Of

By HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, December S.-(Speelal)- Political dope took on new interest Wednesday when the aforetime speaker of the house, Alfred M TunstalI. dropped in on the talk makers and rolled a cigar ct in an old time, business like way. Men who have a right line on things know that Colonel Tunstall knows. even though he is slow at telling what he has aceunl- ulated. His "just looking around" has not satisfied the crowds that lie Is 'Just looking around"
 Colonel Tunstall. as he is at times called, but most generally Ali, can smell out a political situation like good dog can a rabbit. He sits around and says little, but has developed the habit of getting all the other fellow has and more. His acquaintance runs largely with men and much with events, but his ability to follow out a line of thought to a conclusion has made him a good prophet of politics even of late months, when he has been most of the time on the other side
 MT. Tunstall sees no good reason to hurry into politics again. Why not wait a while Is the idea he presented Au- gust seems to him time enough for the primary. What's the use of getting heated up again so soon. He had no ob- jection, he said, to going ahead and raising a rumpus, other than 1t seemed best to wait along for short rest As for candidates, he was reticent. He did not know who was going to run for governor, but mad heard of lot of fellows with bugs of that kind develop ing. His choice was a thing of no mo- ment, thing to be determined ere long when things were better adjusted.
 In the times that were, before the fight for an amendment came to split asunder families of the state, MT. Tuns- tall was put down in the Mallory ranks. Since the landslide with Mallory on the covered-up side, it is not known what the Hale county solon has In his head. His presence gave rise to a rumor that he was feeling about to see if there could not be a settlement on Mallory after all. Anti-amendment men hooted at the idea. thodgh one of them said 1t might be so. Others thought that maybe he was put ting in word for Charles Henderson, as he was seen to do a little hob-nobbing with a Henderson partisan.
 All the time there was talk about oth- CTS. Moody stock took a boost when q bunch of fellows from Fillmore came in and talked about him. Spragins devel oped a friend who said he was in the mill sure, and there were others. It Is waiting game, with every man watching all the other fellows.

JACOBS PHARMACY

insurance under Secretary of State E. R. McDavid, who gave way to Frank N. Julian, who was elected in 1s06 and has kept 1t since, being in full touch with all that has been done. Stock in this company was held largely in Birming- ham and Atlanta.
 Taxes of the Cudahy Packing company in Alabama, so far as recording of mort gage goes, have been compromised by the state board Of the s9,OOo,000 of prop erty value of the company only about $l0.0OO Is in this state. so only upon this much of the mortgage indebtedness Is the tax laid.
 Another case is that of the Central cotton mills at Sylacauga, which is given credit in tax exemptions for a new build ing worth $500O0. This should have been taken out in 1908, as under section 2Oe6, new buildings of this class and new cotton mills are exempt from taxes for 10 years. It was overlooked in l90S.

A Disappointed Governor.

After the exercises at the Fair grounds
last Friday Gov. Prouty and some of the
members of his staff were invited to take
an automobile ride to Lake Dunmore and
as the governor was to remain in town
until the late evening train, the invita-
tion was accepted. After short stay at
the Lake the party started on the return
trip. Governor Prouty was very anxious
to leave on the 11:l5 train as he had an
appointment for the next day and there
was apparently plenty of time. When
they had covered about two miles of the
distance a tire on one of the wheels of
the machine burst and they were unable
to proceed further. A hurry call for
help was sent to this village but
there was not time to reach here before
the train left so governor and staff re-
turned to Lake Dunmore where they
spent the night, coming to Middlebury
by team Saturday morning.

Stole the Wet Evidence.

Loren Shaw and Fred Bernard, who
were arrested by Chief Butterfield on a
charge of having liquor in their posses
sion with intent to sell, at an eating es-
tablishment on the fair grounds last
week, were brought before Justice Dick
ems Monday morning for hearing.
There was about quart and a half of
the liquor which, after the raid, was
taken to Mr.. Dickens Office for safe
keeping, pending the hearing, but when
the case was taken up it was announced
that the "red eye" had mysteriously dis
appeared. Whether it was taken by
someone who was thirsty or simply for a
joke does not appear, but the evidence
was not to b found.
The respondents were found guilty
and bound ovar to the December term OF
court in $500 bonds, which was furnished
in both cases.
