FULL REPORT ON
 SALARY INCREASE
 OF CITY OFFICERS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5.)

members of the finance committed The error in recording consisted in the fact that the date which the salaries had been fixed had been left off or was err roneously written and was probably caused by the clerk getting the dates to which the officers were elected con fused with the date to which their salaries were fixed. The error was corrected, I am informed, at the in stance of the finance committee. and thel records made to state the truth. In September, 1909, the finance committed recognizing the fact that the duties of the city officers would be largely in- creased by reason of Greater Birming-. ham, increased their salaries as shown by resolution of September IS, 1909.
 Anyone who is familiar with the SUD- Ject knows beyond question that every city officer had more than he could do in getting ready for Greater Birmng- ham and attempting to take care of the business after 1t was a reality.
 T believed at tho time the resolution of October 21, 1908, was passed, and still believe, that the council had a right to fix my salary till October l, 1909, and then adjust it. This they did and am of the opinion it was legal, consequently do not think I received an illegal increase i'll salary. sst-sf H
 q can truthfully say that for the work. done during the year 1909 and 1910 I was paid less than any other lawyers in the city doing half the work of similar inn portance. Yours truly,

 "Dear Sir-Replying to your letter of | even date I beg to state that l have no | special report to make of the facts re- lated to the transaction in question. l only know that in view of the largely increased burdens of my office, caused by the annexation of the surrounding municipalities I was allowed an increase of salary by the city.

JURY FR|GHTENS
 THE EVIL DOERS Calhoun Grand Jury Caus-
 ing Sensation LEAVE CITY Professor Saves Two Lives-Annual Meeting of the
 Chamber of Commerce
 to Be Held

Anniston. March 4-(Special. )-The city court grand jury, which is now in session at the Calhoun county courthouse, in this city. returned a partial report Saturday morning that they had found 6 ndict- ments against evildoers in Calhoun dur Ing the first week of their deliberations, which will begin after recess since Sat urday at noon. on Monday morning.
 The number of indictments reported is extraordinary for this county, and it is regarded as the outcome of the unusually forceful charge delivered by Judge Thom- as W. Coleman. Already the present jury has reported more indictments than most of the juries report in a whole session, and it is said that their deliberations are likely to extend through another week.
 The indictments reported are not against any prisoners in jail or under bond. 1t is said, and consternation has broken out among the evidoers of the county, several of whom are said to have left the city this week. Especially notice able is the slump on the tiger marts. which have been fiourishing recently.
 Professor a Hero
 
 It is said to be due to the fact that Basil Young Neale, principal of the pre- paratory department of the Alabama Presbyterian college, is student of the peripatetic school of philosophy that James Kilgore, railroader, who resides on East Seventh street, and Everett Me Carty, young man who was sleeping with him, were not burned to death early Saturday morning.
 MT. Neale was walking across the cam pus studying out an abtruse problem when he saw the blaze issuing from the roof of Mir. Kilgore's residence. He im- mediately ran to the scene and awaE- ened the inmates just in time for them to flee from the building, which was totally destroyed at a loss approximating $500. The cause of the fire is unknown. The house was owned by A. l.. Taylor and in- sured for $500 The household effects of MT. Kilgore, valued at between $4O0 an $500, were not insured. The firemen ana the students of the college turned out promptly and saved adjoining property. Annual Meeting Commercial Club

THE ROAD.

Along the road | smelt the rose.

And how II was, God only knows.
But with the scent saw again
A girls face at window pane.
Gazing through tears that fell like
rain,
It's twelve years nov. so suppose
Twelve years ago. Twas. then
thought.
Love Is a burden bitter-sweet:
And he who runs must not be
,fraught,
Free must his heart be as his feet. >
And again | heard myself repeat:
Love is burden bitter-sweet"
Yet all my aims had come to naught
| smelt the rose: | felt the rain.
Lonely stood upon the road.
or one thing only wzs fain--
To be delivered OF my load
A moment more and on | strobe
cared not whittier led the road
That led not back to her again.

WOULD Return
LONG LOST BIBLE


Acknowledgement Leinster, Of the
North Carolina National guard, re-
Iceived an appeal yesterday from
Charles Z. LaGrand. Of Salem, Mass,
asking his aid IN locating the owner
of a. pocket Bible that is now in his
possession and was picked up on the
Civil war battlefield near New Bern
at that time, and bears the inscription
Of Lieut.. Boone. Lieutenant Boone is
still living at Elon College, being a
retired Christian minister. A son. DR..
W. H. Boone. is q well-known physi-
clan 'sf this city. Lieut.. Boone was
quite young man In the army aud
is native of Chatham county. There
will doubtless be speedy steps taken
to place the lost Bible In the hands
OF this veteran and the story OF its
loss will be awaited with interest.
On the hyleaf Of the Bible was writ
ten the name OF Lieut. c. A. Boone, OF
Company ID. OF the 35th North Caro-
lima regiment, Camp Morgan Deem
Der 18th. 1t was presented to him
by Mrs. c. X. Caldwell. On several
pages OF the Bible was written the
name OF Frances AcKinly." which
leads to the suggestion Of possible
romance.
The records show that Lieut..
Charles A. Boone entered the Con-
federate service in 1861. as second
lieutenant Of Company ID. S5th n. c..
from Chatham county. He served
under Capt Hardy J. Lassiter, who
was killed In the battle Of Malvern
Hill. The next captain was Capt.
Robert Z. Petty. who in 1864 was pro-
noted to major. In 1863 Lieut. Boone
became first lieutenant OF his COM
pany.

will be glad for any one knowing any
thing about Lieut. Boone or his rela-
tires 10 Communicate with either him
