Montgomery, May 12.-(Special.)-A for
iner county superintendent of education
in Alabama, conscious stricken over a
failure to remit all he was due the state
at the time of his retirement, sends the
amount, S. to State Superintendent of
Education H. C. Gunnels, though he says
at the time the state was due him $40
However, he cannot reconcile his feelings
to the situation and sends the money
back. He dates the letter from Birmng-
ham, but is a preacher in Oklahoma, 1t
seems, from letter-head he uses. The
money comes In a money order
What is to be done with the contri-
button? Under the law there is no one
to take it, If he had been checked short
that much by an examiner of public ac-
counts the auditor would have authority
to receipt for it and send it back to the
fund from which it was taken, but this
man left the service before there were
any examiners, so there is no set chan
nel for its distribution. Governor Conner
and Mr. Gunnels are puzzling their
brains on the subject and very likely
they will evolve a plan.

vile. o., today declared when interro-
gated, that he had inspected the throat
OF the late King Edward VII. at the

so informed his majesty saying that an
operation would be futile and prescribed
remedy that, in his Judgment, would
lengthen the life as much as possible.
In his opinion the royal physicians
described the aiment as catarrhal bron-
chitis, because the form Of cancer, which
he thinks the king suffered from, tends
to transmit itself to posterity.
DR.. Holden is possessed of cigarette
case. decorated with the royal arms. pre-
sented to him by the king In token of
his gratitude.
The physician came to Columbus three
weeks ago from GAINESVILLE. He is the
uncle Of Mrs. William B. Leeds, formerly
Of GAINESVILLE, widow of the tin plate
magnate. 1t was through her. he said,
that arrangements were made for him to
attend the king and he made a trip
to Europe for the purpose.

OF CYCLONE FUND

Meridian, Miss, May 12.--(Special.
Elk. Gov. James X. Vardaman passed
through the city this afternoon. stop
ping over between trains, having come
in from Alabama. where he had been
on a lecture tour. He was met by
q. number of friends as the news spread
that he was in the city. He was asked
II he had seen the card from Colonel
Street with reference to the cyclone
fund and the reply of w. II. King
and he stated that he had not read
either one, and tn erefore did not care
to make any comment.
Mr. Vardaman said, however, with
reference TO the cyclone fund that ev-
cry dollar of 1t had been spent for
the benefit of Meridian. That when
he came to Meridian the next day af-
ter the cyclone he found the city in
a bad plight that there were many
horses dead under the debris, and the
people feared IL they were not gotten
out Immediately that there would be
an epidemic of sickness; that he had
brought all the convicts that could
be spared from the Rankin county
farm, anu tHdl llco AabOA hhN boOi
secured wherever possible.
He found that the negroes of the
city were unwilling to work and he
instructed General Fridge to make the
negroes go to work, to have their
names taken so that they could be
well paid for the work that they did.
and that number of negroes were
nut to work in this way. He said
he believed the people or Meridian
would feel that he tried to do his duty
faithfully by them and that he had
done the best he could under~trying
circumstances; that so far as the ex-
penditures were concerned he had kept
an itenized account that this Item
lied account and all expenditures, In
GLIDING the contingent funds had been
in his office ready for the legislature
to examine two years ago, and 1t was
not his fault that the examination had
not been made.
The ex-governor was emphatic In his
declaration that he had never misused
one dollar of the states funds and that
ne had done his very best for the
people of the state at all times with
the lights before him. Governor Var
daman stated that people who made
statements that he had misused any
of the states funds injured themselves
more than they did him because they
were giving utterance to an untruth.
