In The neood Old DAYS. .

In former times even high born
ladies and gentlemen seem not to
have troubled even to wash their
hands with any frequency. Even the
fair and witty Margaret of Navarro on
one occasion avowed her neglect OF
elementary cleanliness in the frankest
way. Look at these lovely hands Of
mine" said she to one Of her cour-
tiers: they have not been washed
for eight days, yet I'll wager they out
shine yours" In an old French man
ual Of etiquette, "LoiX de la Galan-
terie," published in 1910, the complete
dandy is advised to take trouble to
wash his hands every day. and face al
most as often"

FAVOR MORE CONSOLIDATION
Negroes Think This Policy Is Best for
All Concerned

The consolidation of the Union Mutual
Aid association of Mobile and the Peoples
Mutual Aid association of this city two
of the largest negro insurance organiza-
tions in the south operated by negroes.
according to indications, willy pave the
way for larger cooperative concerns
among the colored people of the south.
1t is pointed out by many of the negro
leaders in Birmingham, and hinted in
advices received by others from different
portions of thestate, that negotiations are
under way whereby the Union Mutual Aid
association of Mobile, of which c. First
johnson is secretary and general man
ager. will take over one or two other
smaller concerns among the colored peo-
pie.
This consolidation scheme Is in keeping
with the policy insisted upon in the
propaganda of the National Negro Busi-
ness league, as outlined in the recent an
nual address of Booker washington be-
fore that organization in its recent ses-
sion In Philadelphia. w. b. Driver, dis
trict manager of the Mobile company and
president of the Birmingham Negro Busf-
ness league. who had much to do with
the consolidation of the two Alabama
companies, declared that the consolidation
of negro concerns wherever possible would
mean much to the negro race. and that
individuals of the race, now We're strong
enough to pool their interests.
while any big and successful concern
among our people must inevitably bear
the distinct outline of one mans life
work. he said. 1.-The fact remains thai
more can be accomplished when our peo-
pie get together. In combining their
strength, DR.. johnson and Dr. Mason
have shown 10 the negroes of the south
that there is more strength to be accom-
plished by one strong organization than
by two weak ones. The negro needs to
learn the lesson of unity. and there is
no better way to teach it than in the
union of forces of two great organizations
among us. Every policyholder in the Peo-
pies Mutual Aid association will be pro-
tected by the Union Mutual Aid associa-
ton, according to the statement made by
Driver

made to other subsidiaries in the lake
districts and in Canada.
Let those among us who approve
the dissolution of large corporations point
out what advantage consumers have
gained from the government victories in
the Standard Oil and American Tobacco
cases; let them compare living condl-
tions of the industrial workers in this
district today with what they were eight
years ago. let them explain the stationary
payrolls since 1911 as compared with the
steady increases before that time, and
let them reflect upon the years that must
elar,se before final adjudication can
be had; think of the restricted expendi.
lures required by ordinary prudence II
the meanwhile consider the possible con-
sequences of the segregation of our great
est local industry from its present owner
and ask themselves what good can come
to Birmingham or to Alabama from a
continuance of this i'll starred litigation.
We preach the need of capital for the
development of our resources, and why
should we advocate a policy of repres-
sion? The activities of the last admins
tration against large corporations did not
save it at the polls last November. then
why should false sentiment prevent
the immediate correction of an unfortu-
nate mistake of that administrations
mistake that retards our development and
menaces our present industrial position?

cOunt-Tax Assessor Smith
Owes State $30.54

Montgomery. September 3o.-fSpecial)
r. e. Blount, superintendent of education
Of Washington county, owes the state
Of Alabama s505.5O for timber sold off
sixteenth section school lands in that
| county according to report of Examiner
OF Public Accounts J. T. German, filed
irfthe office of Governor O'Neal today.
This timber, according to Examiner Cor
man, was sold in the fall of 1906. and the
money was deposited in a bank in Mobile,
in which the county schoolstax was de-
posted. The proceeds from the sale OF
the timber were later paid to teachers
Of that county in salaries.
Examiner German cited an opinion of
Attorney General Briekell to the effect
that the money from the sale of the tim
Der belonged to the state, inasmuch as
all sixteenth section lands, including tim
ber thereon. are the property of the state,
and accordingly charged Superintendent
Bount with the amount of the purchase
price. together with the accumulated in
terest, amounting TO s5oo.5o. Examiner
German reported that superintendent
Blounts books were correctly kept.
The examiner found discrepancies in
the accounts of Tax Collector W. S. Pugh
to the amount of $165.66, which was paid
when the matter was called to Mr.. Pugh' s
attention. The discrepancy was purely
a technical one.
Examiner German reported that Col
lector Pugh owes the county $5,49o.12,
which was money collected on the gem
eral fund, special fund and school fund
and not turned into the county treasurer.
The tax collector, according to Examiner
German, originally owed the county
$749e.12, $1,000 of which amount he paid
into the treasury September 13. -
Tax Assessor NJ l.. Smith was found to
owe the state $30.54, which was paid. The
discrepancy was the result of an Illegal
collection of commissions
Most of the money found TO be due the
county was the result of oversight on the
part of the officials. and was settled when
their attention was called to the dis
crepancies. The indebtedness of Collector
Pugh was the largest which was found
to be due the county.
