EVANS EN ROUTE
 ID CLAY COUNTY
State Examiner Is Pleased With Condition of Farm
 CTS Over State

Frank V. Evans, examiner of public accounts. spent the day in Birmingham yesterday, but will leave this morning for Ashland Clay county.
 "I am en route from Blount to CIay, where l am to examine the offices of the latter county" said Mir. Evans. Since my induction into the office of examiner of public accounts I have aided in exam ming Montgomery, examined unass;sred Fayette, Winston, Franklin and Blount. The methods employed by the seven ex- aminers of the state and the force and effect of these examinations does not seem to be fully understood, judging by expressions of the press. Our positions are not judicial, but clerical and inquisi- torial.
 Under the old law the examination covered only state matters, unless by spe- cial request of county authorities or pe- ton of taxpayers Under the new -aw examination is required of all accounts and acts performed in name of the coun- ty. Hence the increased number Of exam iners and increased length of time neces- sary to cover a full county examination. Our duty is to point out errors, omissions, inaccuracies and especially to require law ful authority for the expenditure or every dollar of the state and county money. We report on the legality of each account under advice and legal guidance of tne attorney general. Our reports, which are made to the governor on state affairs and to the circuit judge on county mat ters, are prima facia evidence of correct
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-09-10

ness, but are not final, as the attorney general, for the state, and the solicitor general for the county, must take up the several charges and sift or thresh them out. The mere fact that the examiner finds alleged illegal charges does not nec- essarily mean that the officials nave gone wrong.'
 Tt is fact evident that in many coun- ties of the state the assumption of au- thority for the expenditure of public moneys has cost the people thousands of dollars and I presume the object of the new law on this subject of examination Is to put check to this custom. It is going to work a hardship on some highly honorable men in office at first, but it is bound to have a salutary effect for the future.
 Most of the counties are from three to four years behind now in the examina- tion of state affairs and 1t Is going to require about two years to go back and cover these months, and I presume that after that time examination will be made every year of every office in the state. That will be better, as it will require shorter time of the examiners and the officials.
 By the way remarked MT. Evans, fin my travels through north Alabama I find the condition of the farmers most excel- lent and really the farm is the basis of all prosperity. In this section these farmers are less in debt than at any time since the war, so they tell me, and the corn crop is the best in a quarter of century and the caterpillars have hardly shaken the bushes thus far |"

that wander in grave yards at night and and of three girl ghosts that put on sheets and discover what other ghosts are about? Moreover the story reads like no fairy tal-, but is the real life tale of very human and real little sisters and brothers that out of sud- den loss and poverty win out to success and happiness.

bunch of books that will be a de- light to child just on the edge of en- tering school and taking up volumes more useful, sometimes, than interest," ing. One book of the bunch to charm the youngsters is "The Secret Garden" ," by that writer whom all children have long loved, Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur nett. One that will be lasting delight to all boys is The Ride of the Aber- nathy Boys" and this Is all truth, and the sort of adventurous truth that boys love. A third Is The Littlest Rebel" story of war time that will teach chil- dren that there were great and noble men on both sides of the great fight between brothers. Then for sheer story to make the young reader writhe with wonder as to what the next page may bring there is L. Frank Baum's The Daring Twins" Lastly to teach the value of those five servants that God gives little ones, servants as wonderful in their perfect and miraculous service as ever were genii to do Aladdin's bid- ding, there is the collection of stories gathered by Angela M. Reyes, The Five Senses.9

 A tender little tale. wi some little story.
 The Ride of the Abernathy Boys," by Miles Abernathy. Doubleday, Page &
 Co. Garden City, Long Island, New
 York. s1.20.
 There is nothing better for boys than stirring truth and wholesome adven- ture, and both of these good things are to be found in good measure, flowing over, in this book Here is told the story of how two real boys, just now entering school in their home town in Oklahoma, rode from Oklahoma to santa Fe, New Mexico, on the good nags, Sam and Geronimo, and home again. And then the more exciting story of their ride from Oklahoma to New York to see MT. Roosevelt on his return from the African hunts Temple was but years old and Louie but 10 when their father trusted them upon the long adventurous journey. Well might he trust two boys brought up, as Temple put it, not "to do just three things-not to drink whisky, nor tell lies, nor tuss." These were two little boys who remembered to say their prayers, too, even when they spent the night with makerS of "moonshine," or out In the open with but a fire to frighten away the wolves whose eyes could be seen shining in the dark out side the ring of freight.
 A great book that every boy will be the better, the wiser and the happier for reading.

What if the boy knows that the trail has been laid to accuse him of that same rob bery? What If a good sister comes suddenly to the rescue with thousands of dollars to cover the amount of the theft?
