TILFORD ESTATE MUST PAY
Judge Sheridan Directs Heirs Of
New York Ftnancier to Enrich
State Treasury to Extent of $780,
97L3i-FleId Estate Is Next.

Madison.-Judge Sheridan has or
dered that the sum of S39.971.31 be
paid by the heirs of the estate of
w. II. Tilford, the New York fnan-
cier, as the inheritance tax for 12,-
600 shares in the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad, a Wisconsin cor
poration.
Attorney General Bancroft ex-
pressed satisfaction at the agreement
reached on the states claim, which
he said, was all that the state was
entitled to.
The recent settlements of inherit
lance tax claims are an indication of
how important the tax is to the state
in adding to its revenues.
Since the list of January, under the
direction of the attorney generals de-
partment settlements with four es-
tates have added about $3.50. 900 to
the states revenues, and the total
income from the inheritance tax this
year by April LIST will exceed $780,
600, Mr.. Bancroft says.
From the Kennedy estate, New
York, the state receives $4,000,
from the simmons and Jessup estates
of Keuosha sos 900 and $42, 900, re-
spectiyoly, and now from the Tilford

Mr. w l Nexsen has acquired the

In justice to the restaurant pro-

to state that, according to our best
information, the oysters that caused

We make this explanation lest un-

ful to serve only the kind that are
not only fresh but above suspicion,

also gratifying to hear that the VIC
tim of the ptomaine poisoning is
convalescent, or nearly so.

Teacher of the Old School.


MrJJ Brown, Sr, of Florence is
in town this week visiting relatives.
Mr. Brown is a type of the old-time
school-master, who taught anywhere
from 9 to IA hours a day and never
heard of phonics, calisthenics, Del
sarte and all the other fads and
"isms'' that mark the modern pro-
fessor." Undek the old field meth
ods, by the way, were produced such
intellectual giants as Calhoun, Web
ster, Clay and all the rest of that
bright galaxy of stars that irradiat-
ed the nations capital and command
ed the applause of listening Senat-
ors.
Mr. Brown has just returned from
an extended trip to Alabama and
Florida, where he fingered pleasant
ly among kindred and friends new
and old.
The Birmingham AgeHerald
makes the following note of Mr.
Browns visit to that city:
j Brown, father Of Robert A
Brown and a brother-in-law of
Mayor Culpepper Exum, is spending
the holidays in Birmingham with
relatives. He is from South Caro-
lima, where he is extensively identi-
fed with the development of that
State.
MI Brown has been much inter-
ested in the city of Birmingham and
district, a great deal of which has
been shown him during the past few
days by Mayor Exum and Robert
Brown.
81 am very much impressed with
the vitality of this city and the pros
poets for the future" he said yes
terday." Few other cities have
given me the same impression of
greatness as Birmingham. The city
is wonderful for its years, and | am
pleased to see it has eclipsed some OF
the older cities of the South. Bir-
mingham is abundantly blessed with
those elements Of nature which 60
make up a great industrial center.
And it only remains, in my judg-
ment, for man to utilize the vast
riches implanted here to make this
city equal to Pittsburg in every way.
Birmingham has been toasted by
every city in America, I believe, on
the wonderful showing made in the
census reports. If any one comes
here not only is he impressed with
the fact that Birmingham deserves
every bit of the returns, but it is
the almost unanimous opinion that
