WALKER OFFICIALS
 MUCH RELIEVED

Jasper, July 2o.-tSpeeial)-Many of the Walker county officials who received notice the first of the week that Exam Iner of Public Accounts J. T. German found them due the county. and stated each specified sums of money, have since found that the attorney general and pub lie accountant were wrong.
 E. w. Long, clerk of the law and equity court, was the first to cite the law to the attorney general, who in turn acknowl- edges the erroneous opinion at first rem dered. It was found that J. T. German had overlooked an act passed by a special session of the legislature m 1907 allow Ing said clerk to appropriate the collec- lions which it was alleged he was due the county. w. R. Richardson, tax collector, cited German that he was due the state the alleged sum which he paid before the ruling was received from the states of ncials. Also the other officers, who are ailesed behind with their accounts, are negotiating now with the states officials and citing laws with reference to their right to withhold the money they are al legged to be due the state.

They all fall into silence as Chan

Like hidden tears on each small

Golden Pheasant, pursued by dogs
and hunters, flies for her life and finds
refuge in the barnyard, chantecler
loses his heart. He coniides to her
the secret OF his song. He plants his
feet In the firm earth, knowing It as
his mission to call back the day He
knows that it is his song that makes
the sun rise and battle the earth In
splendor.
The owl and the black cat meet IN
solemn conclave, plotting against the
life OF the bird who robs them OF

her vanity persuades Chantecler to at

desperate fight with the murderous

Ter is saved by the game cock cutting
his legs with his own spurs.
Humbled, bleeding, HIS voice gone,
Chantecler finds solace in the love of
the Golden Pheasant and the notes OF
the Nightingale and his song rings out
triumphant through the darkness.
The voice exclaims: There must al

And Chantecler adds, "And in the soul
