  PEOPLE LEAVE HOMES Farmers at Least Three Weeks Late With Crops-Accounts of Late Tax Collector Spivey <Are
 Found to Be Correct
PEOPLE LEAVE HOMES

Huntsville, March 29-(Special) )-Fhis section had nearly IS hours of'rain Thurs day, and toward afternoon small streams had become muddy rivers. Several DOT tions of the city-were flooded, particularly the northern and western portions. On Dallas avenue and Meridian street water rose in many homes and large number of people had to leave their houses for a few hours.
 Water covered Meridian street and East Clinton street to depth of several inches and also covered portions of the southern railroad The spring branch bottom was flooded for miles down stream. This was the worst flood that has been seen here in several years.
 Farmers Far Behind
 Farmers in this section are fully three weeks late with their crops and the heavy rains of Thursday will add several days to the delay. There will be no time for planting anything much beside cotton and corn when the rainy season ends.
 Spiyey's Accounts Correct
 The books, accounts and vouchers of the late W. T. Spivey, tax collector of Madison county, have been examined by M. F. Wilkinson, state examiner or puo- lie accounts, who has reported to Gov ernor ONeal that the accounts are all correct. The examiner found money on deposit to the credit of the dead assessor to meet all claims of the state. R. NJ. Spivey, son of the dead assessor, has been appointed to the vacancy and will take office as soon as his bond of $0,oo which has already been forwarded, is ap- proved and returned.

SUFFRAGETTES q
 MAY USE BOYCOTT

London, March 29.--At meeting of suffrsgettes tonight in protest against what the speakers described as their ''base betrayal by the house of com mons" Mrs Despard, who was sen tenced to prison in 1909 and once was arrested for picketing Premier As- quith's house, said the time had come for the militant suffragettes to adopt more effective methods to gain their desires. She urged, in effect, a boy colt. She said the women should not buy hats, which would hurt the trades men worse than window smashing, de- clared they should not go to seaside resorts represented in parliament by men of anti-suffragist tendencies and should not subscribe funds to churches or institutions. or invest their money in England.

May Mean New Jail


 The report submitted to the governor by Dr. Oates relative to his examination of the county jail and the city prison in this city, may be the means of Culman securing both a new jail and a place in which to keep the eity's prisoners. Dr. oates report has been the source of much comment among the people of this city since it appeared in the daily papers. and it is hoped that the report will have some effect in improving the conditions of both the prisons
 Dr. Oates report of the county jail of its inadequacy for the accommodation of the county prisoners is also true. While so far as it is possible to do the sher- if is keeping the jail in as sanitary condition as 1t is possible for him to do under conditions, but owing to the fact that the jail is by no means a modern building and withal too small, the sher- if is doing the best he can to keep the place in a sanitary condition
