financial Status Known.

There has been good deal of late in
some OF the papers of the state on the
alleged fact that members of the general
assembly were not appraised of the actual
financial conditions when they met here
in December, 1909, to frame the appro-
priation bill The records fail to sub
stantiate this publication. When the
committee Of the senate-appointed at the
session of 19OS-met here it was presented
with a printed statement giving the ex-
act condition of the treasury, the esti-
mated receipts, the fixed charges and all
else. The statement was printed and
ia nded to each member of the finance
committee of the senate. That commit
tee was named by a resolution OF the
senate, being offered by member who
mas never been regarded as one of the
stanch supporters Of the administration.
That committee was here some ten days.
and it went over all the figures and did
make up an appropriation bill. When the
general assembly got here 1t proceeded to
shake that recommendation into parts,
and then, in view Of the warnings Of the
chairman of the senate finance commit
tee, made the appropriations and ex-
penditures which have today forced the
condition that exists.
The state of finances at this time and
the expenditures made by the general as
sembly under Gov. Swanson will be the
subject OF bitter arraignment of the ma
chine" when the senatorial campaign
opens. This data is now being collected
and will be prepared with an analysis for
use on the hustings.

| RICHMOND, Va, February 1, 1911.
| Representatives Carter Glass and VIII
liam A. Jones. the opponents of Senators
| Martin and Swanson for seats in the
United States Senate, will conduct their
campo igns in this state the coming sum-
mer on lines which have not before been
followed when all the people Of the
state have had chance to vote for the
candidates. The conference held here
some ten days ago. and which was at
tended by some twenty-five of their
friends, resulted in determination that
the candidates would not spend any
money in the campaign.
This is understood to mean that not a
cent would be given for the organization
Of clubs or for the furthering of their
ambitions, except and beyond the amount
Of cash required for the entrance COR
primary fee, sending out literature and
in touring the state. This information
pants in the conference direct. but it is
being noised around that such was the
agreement.
Within the last day or two it has been
limited that Mr.. Glass will make another
departure, in that he will have his head
quarters at Lynchburg instead of in Rich
mond, and that Mr.. Jones will conduct
his campaign from Norfolk. There is no
question that Senators Martin and Swan
son will have their headquarters here
in Richmond as in the past

LECTURE FANS ON
 SUNDAY BEHAVIOR

Montgomery, May 3.-(Special.)- )-If the board of commissioners of Mont gomery grant the request of a local ney out to Captol Heights to witness the first Sunday baseball game will be treated to a lecture as to how they should deport themselves. According to the present schedule the first Sunday game will be played here on May II, engagement
 That will be the date for the lec- ture.
 While little has been said about the ministers request, 1t Is understood tha t he will not dolivee a harangue against the evils of the sport on the Sabbath day, but that he will confne himself strictly to the question of how the fans who witness Sunday games should bear themselves at such exhibitions. It IS understood that he will offer the ad : vice that the Sunday morning and night services should not be neglected and that riotous and wild demonstra- tions should be altogether barred.
 What action the commission will take upon the request has not been made known.
 In the meantime, however. it is quite generally conceded that court proceed ings will be started at an early mo- inent to secure an injunction from a court to prohibit the pastime on the Sababth day. The question is expected to go to the supreme court.

LETTERS TWELVE
 MONTHS LATE

The letters had been delayed 16 months in the postoffice. It appears that during the county cam paign In January, 1910, the Huntsville postoffice was flooded with political mail and MT. Overton sent sack containing S000 letters to Brownsboro to be worked out from that office. The letters were thrown into corner where they remained until found by the postoffice inspector who took charge of the office after Post- master Hunt shot himself.

Manager Is Fired

Huntsville. May (Special.)- directors of the baseball association have reached a solution of the problem that was presented to them in a petition of eight ball players who asked their re- lease as protest against J. V. Camp bell as manager by releasing Campbell and holding the players. The positoln taken by the directors indicates that they believe it easier to find a compe- tent manager than to assemble a whole team of good men before the opening game in Decatur.
 William H. Watkins, who has man. aged ball teams here during the last dozen years has been appointed tenn porary manager.

By WALTER HARPER

Leaving the mountains about four miles to the south, you drive into Moul- ton through mud and slush if it has rained the night before and cloud of dust if the weather is dry You can take your choice.
 But this Moulton valley is good for the eyes after four days wandering in the mountain wilderness of Winston county. Broad, fertile acres under good cutiva- tion stretch to the right and left and in front of you.
 Moulton is tableland valley. It Is a terrace lying between the ranges of the foothills of the Allegheny mountains and the secondary ridge that skirts the Ten nessee valley. Moulton valley extends from Summervlle in Morgan county to Russellville in Franklin county, a dis tance of more than 30 miles. It has an average width of about ten miles and is one of the most fertile regions in the state. In many places it needs drainage.
 Near the center of this valley, crossing Lawrence county from south to north, tEere occurs a slight spasm in the sur face of the landscape. The alluvial land

Mrs. Haynie Indicted

Shreveport, La. May 3.-That the. Cad do parish grand jury indicted Mrs. Leota Waynie of Greenville, Miss, on the charge of nianslaughter became known here today. The charge grew out of the killing of C. G.. Kornegay, a Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific railway rate clerk in this city last March.
 This action will prevent the bringing out at the trial of many of the features of the case, as the evidence can deal only with the events immediately preceding the crime.

breaks into a succession or bunch of hills. Among these is the town of Moulton, the county seat of Lawrence county, and one of the oldest and most interesting histori- cal places in the state.
 Mouton has never made or cared to make any records at growing. It believes in quality rather than quantity Ten years ago it had a population of 290 The present population is 354. The town took a notion to grow a little about two years ago This ambition was probably stimu lated by the building of one of the best county high schools in the state and two handsome brick churches by the Method ist and Baptist denominations.
 These buildings and institutions are a credit to the town. number of hand some new residences have been built and the general plan of the town improved. These things probably attracted some new people to join the colony and the population moved up a little.
 But Moulton was one of the important and more ago. Back in the 2O's it was one of the few prosperous centers and furnished men of brain and courage to help fight the early political and indus trial battles of the state. Moulton fur nished such men as Judge Thomas M. Peters, Matt Galloway, Governor D. P. Lewis, Pope Walker, secretary of war of the Confederacy; General P. D. Roddy Of the Confederate army; Judge W. G. Li- eon Judge William s. Mudd and others.
 Moulton was the early home of Judge H. A. Sharpe and Judge E. C. Grove of Birmingham pr. R. M. Cunningham, ex- lieutenant governor of Alabama, was born at Mount Hope a few miles from Moulton. His mother is still living at the old home.

The war was a hard blow to the section and the cloud of reconstruction left a dark blight on the hearts of the people. But the section survived as did all other sections of like environment in the south with it's broken pride and its devastated homes The large plantations have been subdivided to large extent and are now held by individual farmers.

 While in Mouton you should not neg lect the opportunity to make the acquain- tance of Probate Judge J. c. Kumpe. He is now serving his fifth term in the office. When this is completed he will have served in the office for 30 consecutive years. Possibly two other men in the state have better records. But no man in Alabama is more popular among his own people than Judge Kumpe. He was the first democrat to break the control of objectionable carpet-bag rule after the war and the people have continued to honor him in the office which he has filled to the satisfaction of all classes. He is not only efficlent but he is courte- ous and accommodating. He indulges Tn farming as a side line and Is making q marked success He has four-acre field of alfalfa that Is as fine as any l have seen in the state.
