lector With County Board.
Not including municipal taxes the
people Of Terrell county paid $685.
3G6.27 as their part of the expenses
of the state and county governments

This large amount Of money was
derived from the following sources
as shown by the annual settlement of
former tax collector S. d. Bowman
with the board of county commits
sioners at a meeting of that body
last Wednesday,:
From adyalorem property tax,
$59,953.27; from poll tax, $3.50;
from dog tax, 1872.
OF the property tax $28,9O8.19
was paid into the county treasury,
$23,243.77 into the state treasury,
and $7,803.31 into the county school
fund. The S2,539 poll tax and the

SOMETHING OF VOLUNTEERS z ' ON=W1OM- NASHVILLE DEPENDS

at this stage of the game concerning the race in the Southern league
 If the men play up to their past rec ords," said Manager Schwartz, land have an even break in luck, Nashville will be in the race from start to finish. whether 1t cops the rag eventually or not The impression that most of our men recently signed have little experience in class A ball is wrong one All of them have shown their worth at some time or other with the exception of Walter Hartwell and Red" Smith, and I feel as confident over these two as any of the others. In- dications are that we will have a team of fast, live players, and I believe we will not be weak in any department. Our catching and pitching staff is already good one and with the addition of two more good men who have been promised me I think we will be pretty strong.
 "Of course. this is no time for predict ing" added the manager. "but unless our best men fail to play up to their stand ard. and we have hard run of luck, 1 have no fear of our ability to keep the rest of them company
 Manager Schwartz thinks well of Storch. who Is 8 shoulder thro wer and very accurate when he tries to throw hurried ball from an infield position, but in tho outfeld this puts him at disad- vantage In reference to Catcher Nun sen. Schwartz says that Munsen is really a first-class catcher If his arm is in good shape. Pitcher Teddy Blair, from the o. P. league. Is not unlike Sitton in his pitching, having splendid control. Harry Cohen. first baseman. from the Mink league, is also considered a valuable ad- junct to the Volunteer forces and played some excellent ball out west last season. President Hirsig arrived in Nashville Thursday and he and Manager Schwartz have been going over the contracts and other affairs of the. team.
 !s advance dope Is worth much, Nash vile will be there with the goods this coming season and whoever gets the rag will have a fight for it.

AUBURN IS STRONG
 ON THE DIAMOND

Auburn, March 4.-(Special.)- the past few days Coach Donahue has put the Auburn baseball players through some hard practice. and the team has begun to loom up and is now rapidly rounding into shape. Mccoy, Auburn's most pop ular athlete and All-Southern first base man for the last three years, returns to first this season with Thompson, who has had much experience at G. M A, to take his place in case of sickness or emer gency. At second base Tidwell outfielder and scrub infielder here last season, and Ragsdale, former outfielder for Missis- sippi Agricultural and Mechanical, an old center fielder, are close rivals with Allen and Noble as strong substitutes. Bob Wright, who was a star G. M. A. several years, and varsity third here last year. is having trouble with his eyes and Folmar, who played excellent ball at Luverne Prep school several seasons, will make third over all other applicants. Short goes to Manning, who picks up the ball quickly and throws it with unerring accuracy. Manning was at third base for merly and proved himself the best in the entire south. In the box Auburn places Newell, the star shortstop of last season, and Fontain. who has won many laurels in the Eleventh District Agricultural school, as first choice, with Hanlin, who pitched a good game against Georgia last year, and Davenport, who showed up well against Mercer last season, as second Brewer, the old star of the past seasons will hold down behind the bat, with Car ter as close second. Pratt of Summer vile is trying for second catcher, and Country Stroup will probably hold his place in the scrub team. In the outfield several players are showing up nicely Lewallen, who has made good at left field formerly, is still at his old place, with Patrick pushing him very closely In center Ragsdale and Davenport are play ing good ball, with Major, the old foot ball star, coming in on the second nine. Griffin of the Tuscaloosa High school is trying hard for right field but Noble looms up with astonishing brightness and surpasses all other contestants for that position. Taking all in all, Auburn is very proud of her team.
