 Revenue Received

The first financial statement prepared by the Jefferson county excise commis- sion was given to the public yesterday by Chairman W. c. Agee, in which it is shown that Birmingham has been paid in revenue for whisky and beer alone $140,010. That amount is said to be in excess of the revenue secured | from the former management of .sa- looms, while in the tabulations of the commission there does not appear any fee for cigars. cigarettes or tobacco, From the latter source there is a steady income to the city running the revenue produced from the saloon to a considerable figure.
 Of the saloons licensed in this county there has been collected a grand total of $250,2 200, of which amount Birming- ham proper contributed $215 400. Of the latter figure Birmingham is entitled to 60 per cent, being $140,ot0. while the county gets 25 per cent, being s55,- S50 and the state gets 10 per cent, the same being $21,510.

 Before issuing the statement Mir. Agee said the blind tiger was dying rapidly. that the federal revenue de- partment had grasped the elusive ani- nal by the neck and that the tiger was gone where the woodbine twin eth" and that no long time would pass until the whole situation would be clear.
 In that same connection 1t was stated that the Iron City Distiling company had withdrawn the suit through one of the applicants and that no tests against the Smith bill were now pending
