j. b. Gray of the stock exchange firm of
Fuller & Gray, where the governor is
alleged to have speculated with some
of his campaign contributions, will be
witness tomorrow. Thus far coun-
sci have been unable to locate him. His
partner Arthur L. Fuller, who was on
the stand today, said Mr.. Gray had been
making no efforts to evade service.
Fuller and his employees gave testi-
mony today tending to show that Col
well had purchased 900 shares of Big
Four stock through Fuller & Gray, for
which was paid $4,000 in cash
Melville b. Fuller, a brother of the

TAKE INVENTORY Of
COMPANY GOODS
Judge Grubb Issues Order
in Case of the Colorado
Loan Company

That the affairs of the Coloraln Lean
company are in fairly good shape and
that efforts are being made for an early
resumption of business is the opinion of
those who are in touch with the situa-
tion. An order requesting that the goods,
wares and merchandise now held for
transportation by the Harris Transfer
and Warehouse company, the Southern
Express company and other carriers be
turned over to A. Y. Abbott, receiver for
the bankrupt concern was issued by
Judge Grubb yesterday. who also ordered
that a complete inventory be made when
such merchandise is received.
Later reports from New York deny
that Joseph Rich is not able to account
for all moneys received in the regular
transaction of business and the state
ment is made that the local branch has
paid over to its creditors over $4,000 in
the last 80 days. M. M. Ulman, attor-
ney for the bankrupt concern, states the
New York reports are incorrect and that
when the final settlement is made every
dollar will be accounted for.
Attorney HickolS of New York is in
the city in the interest of the New York
creditors. who threw the company into
bankruptcy, but has not as yet made any
move that would change the situation.
Mr. Ulman is of the opinion that an
early settlement will be made and he is
working to that end.

stunned him and he fell and as he re-
covered his sense his assailant was on
top of him going through his pockets.

of the neighbors to the scene and the
robber ran off through the woods. Mr.
Watley was unable to tell whether it was
a negro or white man.
He missed between s25 and $50 from his
pocket

COUNTY SCHOOLS TO BE RUN
IN SYSTEMATIC MANNER

Montgomery. September 29.--tspeciai.l
More than 40 counties in Alabama will
on October / begin conducting their edu-
cational system in a business and sys-
tematic manner. according to an an
nonucement made today by Superinten-
dent of Education Henry J. Willingham.
These counties will have superintendents
who win devote their entire time to their
duties, and who will receive a regular
salary instead of fees. Each superinten-
dent of education will keep records and
viii make monthly reports to the county
board of education.
The departure from the old fee system
is considered one of the most progressive
steps which Alabama has taken, accord
ing to Superintendent Willingham. This
departure was brought about by the en-
actment of a law by the Legislature OF
1911 giving county boards of education
authority to employ superintendents on a
salary basis, thereby requiring them to
give their entire time to their work. The
new law becomes effective October l.,
having been passed so it would not in
terfere with the terms of any superin-
tendent in office at the time of its adop-
tion.
Under the salary system, the superin-
tendent is required to make systematic
inspections of the work in his county, to
make monthly visits to the schools under
his supervision, and to file monthly re-
ports with the county board.
"It-means that the county schools will
be in the hands of a business organiza-
tion in the future" said Superintendent
Willingham. Heretofore, county super
intendents have been paid fees. They
could give their entire time to the schools
at no time at all. They received their
money anyway.
Now they must keep records They
must use system. Reports will show
what's what, who's who-and why. If
a superintendent work is effective, re-
ports will show. If it is not, reports will
show. The new system means that Ala
bamas county and rural schools will
be in the hands of experienced men who
will give their time to the work. Fees
have been paid heretofore Superintend-
ents could work when they wanted to
and quit when they wanted to. They got
their money anyway
