Showers of Blessings

Over in East Tennessee, resides a

measure of blessings. He is quoted
as the bappiest man in East Tenn,

ten children, thirteen hounds, a
deaf and dumb wife and an undiscov.
cred moonshine still. This doesn't
seem hardly fair, that the good
things of life should be SO unevenly
divided. Out of the gloom of mea
ger blessings one is prone to lift up
a complaining voice and ask why
the scale of justice should swing
with such an uneven motion, to.
ward this recipient of all good
things.
One cannot fail to feel a measure
OF regret at the unexplalnable mys.
terry of it all. Certainly the sun
shines bright in one certain spot in
Tennessee at least. And in the
meantime we extend greeting and
congratulation to our Tennessee
friend on his hounds, his children,
and his wife.

TAXES ADJUSTED IN
 FRANKLIN COUNTY

Russellville, July Special. )-W R. Norris, tax commissioner of Frank lin county, has just finished adjusting number of large tax assessments this week, a number having been given in for an amount which appeared to the commissioner as being entirely too small for the value of the property. He made raises accordingly and this week the interested parties appeared and the property tax was adjusted. The mining property of the Alabama Virginia Iron company was raised from 312.500 to $25,0O0. This property includes an ore mine near Russellville, which has not been in operation for several years. Mccormack Bros, operating the Beatty iron ore mine, were raised from $3500 to $35.0OO. An unintentional error was made by the owners in giving in the property, whereby an extra cipher was left off, which should have appeared on the assessment. The Hamilton Iron Ore company's property, consisting of 200 acres of ore land on Hamilton creek was raised from the assessment of $250 to $3400. It seems that this company gave in the property at t;le actual value of the land, minerals ex- cluded.

RACES FOR TWO
 HIGH PLACES IN LEGISLATURE
By HERvEY W. LAIRD

as a campaigner, from Covington. there Is prospect of some great campaigning this good year. Joseph J. Arnold. of Calhoun, is also credited with ambitions to sit in the big chair. From a casual glance at the situation. 1t would seem that the race now is between Almon and Long, though friends of the others as- sert that they are coming into great wealth of strength when it is needed.
 State Ticket Safe
 In spite of dire predictions that some republican might be put up to beat Walter D. Seed for lieutenant governor at the November election, there is no reason to fear but that every nominee will be elected. It is even taken to be sure now that Burnett will be able to lay his opponent of many political faiths. M. w Howard, in the shade. There will be about three republicans in the house but none in the senate, and 1t will be a good old democratic crowd no matter what they say. It is a fact, however, that there is much feeling in some sec- tions about the liquor question. and in the black belt about convention repre- sentation on the voting strength plan. but 1t is not expected that either will make much trouble for long time to come.

AUBURN STUDENTS
 QUIT THEIR CAMP

Auburn, July 9.-(Special) )-Tanned and hardened after more than three weeks of "roughing it." Auburn stu dents of the civil and mining engineer ing courses have broken camp and have returned to their homes.
 Engineering camps in both courses have been maintained since commence ment and practical training has been afforded such as is offered in few en- Gineering courses outside of the larger colleges of the cast.
 The mining engineering students under Prof. R. L. Brown, undertook practical work in surface and mine surveying in the coal and iron mines of the Birmingham district the Hli- abee gold mines at Alexander City and the stone quarries at Sylacauga. Mine operations were studied closely by the young engineers in each in stance. During the few days of their stay at Alexander City a s300O clean up was made at the gold mines
 One week was spent by the class al Helena, a few miles from Birming- ham. where mine surveying was un- dertaken, the work being rendered ex- ceptionally complicated by reason of steep slopes in the mines of that vii cinity.
 The camp of the civil engineering students was stationary, located near West Point. Ga, on the Georgia Ala : bama line and on the banks of the Chattahoochee river. Plans for the es- taniishment of a permanent camp are under consideration
 About 40 Auburn students of next years senior and junior classes were In the two camps.
