of the south.

We learn with regret that Hon. H. G.
Schroeder is confined to his home by
illness. While the Review has differed
with Mr.. Schroeder at times, it has
always respected him as an honest,
honorable and capable man. He large
ly directed the expenditure OF vast
sums for this county and we are con-
WINGED and always have been, that he
did this without slightest faint Of
graft or Of hope of personal benefit.
He is in many ways model citizen,
man without fear and without re-
proach. The Review hopes, most sim
cerely, that he may regain his health,
and would assure him, if assurance be
needed, that he holds a high place in
the esteem and confidence and affec-
ton of his fellows in Crawford coun-
ty without regard to party, creed or
nationality.

serious consideration and that where
it is apparent that the majority OF the
property owners are opposed, the
council should hesitate long time
before voting heavy expense upon
those who cannot afford it.
Other remonstrances will come from
business men who are opposed to the
narrowing of our business streets and
the patching of our cement walks,
which are already more than sufficient
for pedestrians. We have seen on
Main street just what a patched and
extended walk looks like and we want
no more Of the same.
Still other objections will be urged
against the resolution providing solely
for bitulithic paving instead OF allow
ing bids and consequent competition
among the promoters of paving OF dit
ferent kinds. Bitulithic paving has
proven a success in some places and
a failure in others. The record is not
all one way. From st. LOUIS, IRON
Muscatine, from Hutchinson, kans.,
come very unfavorable reports; from
Iowa City, where the pavement was
laid on an old concrete roadbed, and
from Perry and Grinnell, where the
paving has been in but a short time,
the reports are good.
Even if all that is claimed for this
paving is true, it can do no harm for
the council to take other methods into
consideration, and it was precisely to
meet this situation that the new law
was framed
In a matter of this importance the
council will do we'll to go slowly and
to give every interest the fairest kind
of hearing.

One thing about the paving PROPOSE
ton which is not generally understood
is that property cannot be taxed in eX-
cess of one-fourth of it's assessed
value. There are, for instance, three
lots on one of the streets which it is
proposed to pave, which are assessed
against these lots, and the balance OF
the paving, which will cost between
$500 and $1,000, must be paid by the
tax payers as whole. There are
more of these cases that might be
supposed, for taxation purposes, each
lot stands on its own bottom. Where
a man owns several lots, the lot on
which his house stands might he
assessed for much more than enough
to stand the paving tax, while the
vacant lots would not be. In this case
the excess on the one lot could not be
used 70 cover the deficit on the other
lots and thus the city would be called
upon to make good, even though the
property as a whole might have been
worth enough to pay the bill. In other
words, the lot, not the owner, is the
tax unit, and a paving tax can only be
levied against any single lot to the
extent of one-fourth of its value.
Further, the tax must be based on
the last assessment. Thus for in
stance, the property owned by Mrs.
Daz on the west side of Main street,
with $50 foot frontage, cannot be
assessed on its present value with the
new building added, but on it's value
at the last assessment. We venture
that at this rate the property could
not be compelled to pay one-half the
cost of paving and the balance would
be upon the City.
We mention these matters simply
as they are worthy of consideration
before, not after, the paving question
is irrevocably decided. The citizens
as a whole are entitled to know just
what increase of taxes the paving will
mean.

as it is today. There will be special
chapters devoted to the ck1Tch history
of the county, the schools, and space
will be given to all lodges and organi-
cations which will make report to the
writer of the book.
The manuscript of the book is
about two-thirds completed and it will
soon be in the hands of the pub
fishers. All those interested in hay
ing their lodges represented should
send information to Mr.. Meyers at
once. There is no charge for this, all
that is asked is the outline of the his
tory of the organization. A very val
liable chapter will be one written by
Mr.. Lees, Assistant State Geologist.
Mr.. Lees made a geological survey of
Crawford county last summer and this
will be the first authentic report that
has been published. Mr.. Lees has, as
far as possible, avoided technical
terms, and the chapter not only con-
tains much new and valuable scien-
tific information, but is distinctly read
able. 1t will be richly illustrated with
fine plates of the geological formation
and pictures of fossil remains found
in the county.
Many Fine illustrations.
The historical volume will be rich
ly illustrated, Portraits OF such
pioneers as Norris McHenry, A. D.
Mallory, Judge Bassett, Thos. Dobson,
A. f. Bond, B. F. Wicks and others
will be found. There will be many
pictures of historic value: Denison in
1870, the old court house, Fort Purdy,
old schools, some of the Old-time
dwellings, Sam the first horse to
carry mail to the settlers, and other
valuable pictures. Fires, floods and
other incidents will be illustrated.
There will be birdseye views of the
various towns, pretty country scenes,
public buildings, street scenes, groups
of old settlers and a splendid pano
ramic view of Denison, which will give
| the best view OF the city ever pub
| iished. One of the unique illustra
| tons will be an old map of the cOun-
" published in 1863.
AS an example OF the illustrations,
the town of Manila will be repre-
scented by street scenes, pictures of all
churches, school building, railroad
yards and countryside view. The il
Illustrations of other towns will be on
a similar scale.

cofferdam Around Maine Completed.

Now that the cofferdam around the
wreck of the Maine is about complet-
ed, it should not take long to pump out
the elliptical basin which has been
formed, and expose the wreck of the
ship. The first care will be to make
a thorough search for bodies. After
that will come the investigation of
the hull to determine the real charac-
ter of the explosion which sent the
ship to the bottom. Fears have been
expressed as to the stability of the

GOLFERS HONOR
 EXPERT INGLIS

Montgomery, May 24.-(Special. .)-Es- teem in which John M. Inglis. golf ex pert at the Montgomery Country club ganization has been voiced by the board of directors of the club in a decision which has been reached to build a handsome worlhouse immediately ad. joining the clubhouse on the outskirts of the city. The new structure will cost about 5000 and will be fitted out with all of the appurtenances for the construction and repair of golf sticks and with private racks for each of the players.
 An interesting story is told In con- nection with the determination to build the structure.
 A few weeks ago MT. Inglis received an offer from one of the largest and richest country clubs in the south not so far from Montgomery--in which exceptional Inducements were held out to the popular Scotchman to make their city his home. The question was taken under advisement and in the interim the board of directors of the Mont fer. Knowing that all of Mir. Inglis' work was of an unselfish nature, how ever, the board offered the new struc- ture, which the superintendent of the Country club links had long wanted, as an inducement for him to stay in the city.
 The offer was enough. MT. Inglis wired his thanks to the rival club, and returned to his home to receive the telephonic congratulations of every member of the Montgomery organiza- ton.

HAROLD CALLS ALUMNI
 OF AUBURN TO MEETING

the programme of exercises be full of interest and education to all visitors. but there are numerous matters of vital importance to the alumni which require the consideration of all the alumni of the institution. In these day of business strife, men are too prone to forget the source of their education: in short, the very institution which equipped them for the successful careers they now enjoy.
 '1n common gratitude I feel that every alumnus should try his best to attend commencement and thereby attempt to solve with his fellows the many prob lems that are before the college and which will concern it in the future. This is the purpose of the Alumni association and I sincerely hope that the necessity of every man possible returning for com mencement will be appreciated this year.
 "The 1911 commencement will be a good one. Three prominent speakers on the programme are: Bishop E. R. Hendricks, Kansas City, Mo-, baccalaureate sermon; Hon. J. c. Hemphill, Richmond, Va, commencement address, and Dr. l.. w. Payne, class of 1892 alumni oration. The alumni banquet will be held Monday night, June 5, and the business meet ing of the Alumni association after the alumni address, Tuesday morning. You are cordially invited to be present at commencement. It is especially hoped that you will be present Monday night and Tuesday morning.
 'The indications are that this com mencement will witness the coming home of more alumni than any previous one. The past year has been the most suc- cessful one in the history of the college. The achievements of Auburn men are a continuous advertisement for the college and it has won the recognition of men of influence in all the business world. Upon the alumni rests the responsibility in part for the continued growth of the institution. Yours very truly,

Fifteen Pretty Graduates Presented With Diplomas
 at Eufaula School

Eufaula, May 24.-(Special 1.-The social side of the city is given over entirely to the Alabama Brenau conservatory exer- cises, which are drawing great throngs of citizens and visitors every morning and evening.
 The college chapel was full of life yes- terday when the regular class-day exer- cises were held and the building and grounds were fairly thronged long before the appointed hour
 The seniors in robes and caps, 15 in number, marched into the chapel and were seated on the rostrum when the fol- lowing programme was carried out:
 Reading of the Last Will and Testa- ment of the Glass;" by Miss Ethel Wood; 'The Class Prophecy" by Miss Maud Green; "The Class Poem," by Miss Mary B. Harrison; Glass History" by Miss Ethel Overby, who is also the class pres- ident. During the exercises Miss Mary B. Harrison also read the class song, composed and written by her. which was quite appropriate and fitting.
 Three hundred dollars, a sum secured by the seniors toward the purchase of g large pipe organ, which will soon be in stalled in the building as a memento oi the graduates of 1911, was also wllled tc the college.
 Little Miss Edith Wilkinson, 3-year-old daughter of President and Mrs. T. G Wilkinson, was the class mascott and pre- sented unique appearance as she led the march, waving gracefully the class banner.
 Last night the pupils presented a three act drama, entitled "The Big Four" at the Chautauaua theatre, where large and delighted audience assembled to wit ness the performance. The leading roles were sustained by Miss Ethel Oyerby, Miss Ora Williams, Miss Marion Gay and Miss Jaunita Lattimer, and the col lege Mandolin club furnished most pleas ing instrumental numbers. The play was gotten up under the auspices of Mrs. Rachael Landis Reins, principal of the expression school, and the performance was so excellent in every detail that many regard it as being lifted beyond the realms of amateur.
 The graduating exercises and an ad- dress by Rev F. c. Bell of Dothan, to- gether with the awarding of diplomas, will conclude the series of entertainments and close the school for the term. The commencement has been pronounced one of the most interesting and brilliant in the annals of the city.
