ANNIVERSARY OF
 HISTORIC CHURCH
Anniston To Celebrate the Founding of St. MichaePs
 and All Angels

Anniston, September 21.-(SpeciaO.- .duch interest is being manifested in the big anniversary celebrations of the found ing of the church of St. Michael and All Angels, Anniston's celebrated cathedral, which will be held Friday the chief fea- ture of the celebration being the rendering of the cantata, ''The Conversion of St. Paul,'' in which over 40 voices will be blended.
 The celebration will also commemorate the sgd anniversary of John ". Noble, the venerable founder of the church, who built it at a cost of sl25,05o in order that the poor of Anniston might. have a place to worship equal to any other in the city, which is known as the Brooklyn of the South on account of it's numerous mag nificent edifices. MT. Noble is one of the lastrsurvivors of the great Noble family which founded the Model City.
 Anniston has been made famous by St. Michaels', which is mentioned in several of the tour books furnished Europeans coming to the United States. It has also been written about extensively on account
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-09-28

of the fact that the melodious chimes in it's tower are said to be the largest in the world, certainly the largest in the United States.
 The general architectural design of inc
 church is after the old early English
 type, consisting of Normal skull with a Gothic interior in which the finest cedar is used, together with gold and copper fixtures that cost thousands of dollars. The great organ is also worth travelling far to hear. On the exterior brown sTAne, with marble trimmings, Is used, the prop erty consisting of the church proper, the rectory, sisters house and chapel.
 Dr. J. H. Biacklock, rector of St. AIich- aels is a graduate of London university, being an interesting and unique character. He was closely associated in his earlier days with such men as Thomas Huxlay, Matthew Arnold, Sir William Crooks, Sir Isaac Louthon Bell, Hugh Miller, Jr, etc. Miss Ermelinda Noble, a daughter of Mr. Noble's is organist. She and Dr. Black lock have worked necessarily for the church endowment, and it will be under their auspices that the anniversary cele- bration will be given next Friday.

Washington, September 27.-(SpeciaD.- Smith Wilkins, a Virginia farmer, during his periodical visits to Washington for perhaps a lifetime has fostered an amoi- tion to be a capital policeman, wear blue uniform, a brass badge and a club.
 He got his business fixed up in sucn shape that he could make the try and about a week ago came up to town and put in his application. He passed the ex- aminatins in fine shape. He was Fer feet specimen of physical manhood, had a good appearance and looked the police man in every way.
 He got an appointment at once and last Sunday reported for duty. He donned the blue uniform, let the captain pin on the gold badge and walked from precinct sta- tion No. swinging his club with the ambition of a lifetime in full course of being gratified.
 He had beeh assigned to street crosS- ing on Pennsylvania avenue just where traffic is most interesting to the man who has to keep it in order.
 Smith Wilkins hung to the job all rignt but it did not take him a year to learn that the thing looked different when he stood on the inside of the uniform look ing out and not on the outside looking in.
 The shine came off in about two min utes But Smith Wilkins did not desert. He stood by the job until the end of his trick and then he walked straight to the station.

SUNDAY Is JEWISH DAY OF ATONEMENT Marks Most Holy Service in the Jewish Re-
 ligiOn

Sunday evening at o'clock will be ushered in the Day of Atonement, the day most holy to the Jew in his entire religious calendar, and which marks the completion of the penitental period of 10 days beginning with the New Years Day.
 From that hour until o'clock the next day, the devout Israelite, even those who have been remiss in their church attendance, will observe the great white fast and give himself to prayer and divine services. Not drop of water or morsel of food will pass their lips and the people of Israel will purge their souls for their sins of the past year. The Biblical ceremonial mentioned in several instances as the Day of Awe and Day of Atonement, has been somewhat changed in the modern Judaism to emphasize repentance and personal prayer for the forgiveness of each individual shining soul.
 The celebration of the day, which is always the most largely attended serv- ice of the year, will begin with the singing of the opening anthem, Kol Nidre, at o'clock Sunday evening at the Temple EmanuEl, Rabbi Newfield officiating. The Kol Nidre hymn is possibly the most ancient church hymn known and will be rendered by a double quartet, accompanied by the organ and orchestra.
 On Monday morning at 10:S0 o'clock, the services will begin and continue until sunset. A sermon will be de- | livered at noon, young peoples serv- ice, conducted by the pupils of the synagogue, will be held at o'clock, and a memorial service in honor of the
 dead of the past year and during
 which d mention will be made of the names of all philanthropists who have died in the past F months will be the o'clock ceremony This will be fol- 1 lowed by the closing service, the Neilah, in which the main ideas of the day are especially impressed: Repent ance, forgiveness and Gods sealing the | decree of man for the ensuing year As | 9 signal of the close of the day. the 1 trumpet is blown once and the wor-
 shipper turns homeward with the as- surance that in reward for his true re- pentance his sins of the past have been I forgiven
 The music will be in charge of Mrs. William Gussen and the double quartet will be composed of Misses Olive,
 sybert, swartz and Handley and Messrs.
 OHara, Heflin, Geis and Morton
 Messrs. Calman, Gussen and K1enk will assist with orchestral instruments.

 call for broad and liberal construction. Having in view the condition with which the legislature was dealing, it. seems clear that the word "license" as used both in section 2245 of the code, and in section of the act was in- tended to be used in it's most broad and liberal sense and not in any re- strictive sense whatsoever.
 Construing section 9 of the revenue law, which is. as I have said, amenda- tory of section 2245e of the code, to- gether with the provisions of section 2244 of the code, which requires the tax commissioners to aid the revenue of ficers of the state in the collection or escaped delinquent back taxes and licenses, any other conclusion than. that the duty was imposed upon them of assisting in the collection or the. taxes imposed under section 12 of the revenue bill and that 1t was their duty to- cite delinauencies before the pro- bate judge and cause such taxes to be paid and that they were to receive the compensation fixed by section 9 of the. revenue law for such service, would lead to conclusion which would tend to destroy one of the evfdent pur- poses which was in the minds of the legislature In the passage of the act. and of the sections of the code re- ferred to.
 < am therefore of the opinion. and so advise you, that county tax. commis- sioners are entitled to their commis- sion for citing delinquent corporations under section F Of the revenue law befQCe the probate judge and causing the tax therein provided to, be paid. Yours truly, e@

COMMISSION ON
 DELINQUENT TAX

Montgomery, September 27.-(Spe- cial )-County tax commissioners or Alabama who cite delinquent corpora tions under section F of the revenue act before probate judges and who cause the tax therein provided to be paid, are entitled to a 10 per cent commission, according to an opinion of Attorney General Robert c. Brickell delivered to State Auditor C. B. Smith. Auditor Smith for several weeks has been confronted with the question ana turned it over to the attorney general for an official opinion.
 The attorney general in the unfold ing of his reasons calls attention to section 9 of the revenue act, which, ne says, is amendatory to section 224o or the code of 1907, but only to the ex- tent that the period before deiih- quency is extended by the act TOT period from January 15 to February l.F The attorney general thereupon says that the word license" as used potn in section 2245 and section was 1n- tended to be used in the most broad and liberal sense, and not in any re- strictive sense whatever.
 The ruling of the attorney general is expected to add greatly to the emol- uments of the tax commissioners office. The opinion follows:
 September 27. 1911. Hon. C.. B. Smith, State Auditor, Cap
 itol Building. F
 Dear Sir-Your letter of the 26th inst, in which you request me to ad- wise you whether county tax commis- soiners are entitled to 10 per cent com mission for citing delinquent corpora- tions under section 12 of the revenue bill who have not paid their franchise tax received. Sst, The provision of section 9 of the act approved March 31. 1911, to further provide for the revenue of the state are amendatory of section 22f5 of the code of 1907, but only to the extent that the period before delinqency is extended by the act for a period from January IS to February 1.

 ing at SjS or 9 o'clock on the night Of the wreck they took the siding in order to meet No. l. the passenger that was wrecked; they had no orders to go in then, but had to do So in order to let No pass. The first notice Of collision that lie had was when he was in the eaboose; he felt the shock and was knock ed partially down. He then went to the front and the first thing he did was to assist in getting Ed Irwin, the brakeman who was hurt in the wreck, out or ths wreckage, in which he was helped by Majors. He went to the switch. exam ined it, and then went on to Newcastle on the engine that had come down to get the coaches of No. 4; there was no lock on the switehf and the lamp was not burning when he arrived.
 On cross examination Walls story was not materially changed.
 T. V. Harrison, the engineer on the freight train which was struck, testined that when the train came to stop he got out of the engine and walked around t, knocking out the sandpipes, and that when he got back into the engineahe dld not see Nabers, who was his fireman; that if Majors had been in the engine he could have seen him; that the last time 1t saw Majors he told him he would have to stop at Cunningham to pass No. 4; that that was when he blew for the sid Ing, about three-quarters of a mile from 1t; that defendant returned to the engine in about five minutes without light; and that he left little later with light, and was apparently 90 or 70 feet away from the train when the collision oc- cured
 A strenuous effort was made to impeach the testimony of Harrison on cross-eX- animation, and he was asked numerous questions about his testimony at the pre- liminary hearing of will Teague, and of statements made to parties out of the court, all of which he answered with the statement that he did not remember; that he would not swear that he did or did not make the statements. The only one of the questions to which he did make a positive answer was denying absolutely that he said to Jack Curran that the defendant was in his hearing all of the time at Cunningham.
 Superintendent Brooks followed Harri- son on the stand, and with his testimony the examination of witnesses was brought to a close,

 In the course of his remarks Mai J. Lawler Darby spoke with great emphasis and feeling in the futility of attempting a joint organization between the United Confederate eVterans and the Grand Army. 4
 He said in part:
 "I was sitting today on the same seat with young man on street ear com ing into town" said Major Darby. He was a pleasant and bright fellow, well informed, and stands high in the com munity. He said to me: Don't you think that 1t would be better for the entire country if both the Confederate and Fed erals would dsband their several organi- zations? My answer was: That will never be done until all are dead. You might as well try to lift with your hand a mountain from the bottom of the sea, or pull down from heaven the stars of the milky way as to try to dissolve the fellowship of, the old soldiers. It stands cemented as strong, and defiant as the rock of Gibraltar

price was established at the coffee ex- change today when September coffee sold at 12.9s cents. This was the re- suit of liberal demand from shorts, Other months were several points lower. There was selling pressure ow- ing to weakness in the European mar kets.
 Sugar was on the down grade and 14,O00 bags from the new San Domingo crop for arrival between January and April brought prices much lower than the basis of 5.961s cents now quoted here The fact that Arbucle Brothers were taking orders for granulated at G.75 cents net less per cent for cash like most of the other refiners, was taken by sugar brokers to indicate lower prices for tho refined product
