excursions, they have under considera.

take the boat at Newport for the trip to

Box Canyon will be completed by that

materially to the pleasure OF the trip.
With trip arranged like this many
tourists will be attracted to this section.

Why Taxes Are Higher

There having been numerous INQUIRIES
concerning the increase of taxes over
last wear, a letter to County Treasurer
Adams e.icited the following intorma.
ton:
The total tax levy covering property
in the city OF Newport ,s as follows;
State and county consolidated .26 mills
School district No. ll5. ii .O5 mills
City of Newport. 49,. 81 mills
This is an increase of 2-5 mills over
the tax levy for the year 1908, and is
principally caused by the county school
tax, which ls provided in the school law
OF 1909. There is also slight addi-
tlonal special school tax for District No.
ll5, and fractional increased tax for
the city OF Newport
This condition exists all over the
county, but for the reason that it is
principally caused by the school tax,
which each district is getting the benefit
OF, few people, after they fully under
stand it, are inclined to complain. In
fact, this school tax was absolutely COM
pulaory, for the reason that the receipts
in practically all of the school districts
throughout the county-and throughout
the state, for that matter-had not been
sufficient in past years to pay for the
actual maintenance of the schools, and
the result was that all the districts we're
80 deeply indebted that it was necessary
that some means be provided for the
establishment of their credit. Yours
very truly,

discussion

financial situation Of the town and the
best means of taking care of the situa
ton. The conclusions Of the committee

substance were az follows:
The total liabilities Of the town at the
beginning of the year 1909 and including
All outstanding warrants unpaid for lack
Of funds, the towns share of the cost of
street grading and its liability on con-
tract for crosswalks, foot up to the sum
ct $4322. 81. Estimated running ex-
pense for the year, $474l So. Estimated

Changes In the States Mining Laws

The explosion at the Yolande mines last week Is another warning to this district to adopt better methods for safeguarding it's miners. Between the placing of res cue and training station here by the gen Operators association to secure from the forthcoming legislature more stringent mining laws there is hope that the best bear in this district.
 The proposed laws of the Operators association aim to throw around the miner every possible safeguard in the respect of the firing of shots and the ventilation of the mine against the ac- cumulation of gases. It is further pro- posed to have an official inspector for ev- cry 2,5Ooooo tons of coal mined in this district. This would call for six in spectorS, all of whom would be required to pass examinations as to their prac- tical experience as miners. The chief in- spector is to have on his staff at least one mining engineer who Is an expert in the draining and ventilation of mines.
 The proposed law should be closely scrutinized, both here and at Montgom- cry, and as soon as the operators have passed upon 1t it should be published in full so that every man in the district will have an opportunity to study it and to criticize it. In a deluge of criticism weak spots may be detected.

Plain Duty of Qualified Electors

Just as England expected every man to do his duty at Trafalgar so Alabama asks every qualified elector to go to the polls on Tuesday, next. In this matter the excellent advice of H. S. D. Nal lory addressed to his friends in Talladega county should be needed 'The only way" he said, to ward off the danger of republican misrule in the state was for every man who voted in the primary to stand true to his pledges and vote for the nominees of the democratic party, as his pledge required him to do when he participated in the primary MT. Nal lory went on to say to the prohibitionists that their only hopes of accomplishing the punishment of whisky and the en- forcement of regulating laws was within the party and by loyal adherence to 1t. He said that so far as a disappointment was concerned he had as much ground for feeling disappointed as any man in the state but that he was far from sulk- ing and stood earnestly for the election of the nominees of his party, and was working night and day to that end. Drop all the bitterness of the last cleo tion, obliterate any sulkiness over the result and unite with me in putting in power the servants of the white mans party in Alabama he said.
 This excellent advice should be heard and needed in all parts of the state. Ii comes from a patriot who sees the situa- tion clearly and who is ready to act UT to his vision. Alabama expects every qualified elector to do his duty on elec- ton day

PoRTUGAL,s PRESIDENT

From the Boston Transcript.
 The most interesting man in Portugal at the present moment Is the new pre- mier, Senhor Braga, who may be said, without exaggeration, to be the father, not only of this revolution, but that of Brazil, having by his teachings as pro- lessor of history and philosophy prepared the ground for both movements. He Is a quiet, pleasant, and extremely modest, gray-haired man of 67, whose unassum- ing manners may be inferred from the facts that on the night after being elect ed the first president of the Portuguese republic, he returned home as usual in a second-class compartment to the un- pretentious little house which he occupies in the suburbs. quietly receiving the con- gratulations of his richest and humblest friends, and deprecatingly acknowledging the frantic ovations of his fellow-pas- sengers.
 Discussing him with a distinguished Portuguese gentleman, who sat on the same bench with Braga in their college days, a newspaper correspondent re- marked, He is quite poor man. is he not?"
 "Braga," was the reply, Hives in an intellectual atmosphere. He has no wants, and, therefore, Is the richest of men. No one is better fitted to occupy the position he now holds, for his we'll known probity commands universal con- fidence."

piesome passenger. A certain individual was accustomed to get on the train at d little station in Kentucky, with the idea or riding about ninety cents worth" This person would present hundred dollar bill and the conductor, not be- ing able to make the change, he would ride free. One day this man boarded the train as usual and when the conductor came around stuck out his hundred-dolar bill. I'll give you the change later," said the conductor, putting the bill in his pocket. He wired ahead to the sta- ton where the man was to get off and told the station agent by all means to have change for $100 in nickles, dimes and pennies on hand by the time the train arrived. The station agent sus- pected what was the matter and bor- rowed that sum from a bank When the train arrived, the conductor dis mounted with his passenger, led him around to the ticket office, took ninety cents out of the money that was piled up there in sacks and said, Here's your change" The station agent and the crestfallen passenger were counting money long after the train had gone. One item was POGO pennies.
