Much interest is being manifested in
the coming race for sheriff of Jefferson

question of the amount of salary that

sition and in all probability will make

Montgomery, January 15.-(Special.)- =
The annual report for 1912 of the state
department of education will be ready for
distribution by Thursday or Friday of
this week, according to an announce
ment of Superintendent of Education
Henry j. Willingham. The report has
been in the hands of the printer for
the past two months.
Several advance copies of the report
have been received by superintendent
Willingham, and the publication is con-
sidered the most exhaustive and volumi-
nous the educational department has ever
issued. Every phase of the educational
work in the state is set out in the re-
port and statistics showing the progress
made in tA last two years are given in
full.
1t is expected that the report will prove
particularly interesting, in view of the
recent publication of the rport of the
Russell Sage foundation, in which Ala
bama,s public school system is classified
as occupying the lowest rank in the en-
tire country.
According to Mr.. Willingham the edu-
cational report will serve to explain why
the public school system of the state is
deficient and not on a par with other
systems in the south. Superintendent Will

chief executive, contains a number of

"FORTUNE HUNTER"
GIVEN BY ELLIOTT
Lecturer Presents Condensed Version
of Popular Play at the
High School

The highly entertaining comedy, 'The
Fortune Hunter" was presented in one
act last evening at the high school by
Edward Elliott, the noted lecturer and
public entertainer. Last evenings lee
t,,re was the fourth of the Lyceum course
and was given before an enthusiastic
audience.
Mr.. Elliott's rendition of the lines of
the various characters in the play was
excellent, especially his reading OF ths
mart of Nat Duncan-> which was artisti-
eallv rendered. Mr.. Elliott took the vari-
Gus parts of 'srhe Fortune Hunter and
arranged it in concise story, told by
the characters. These characters nc
acted out. and made real living people
using no wigs, scenery nor costumes. STU
without these accessories Mr.. Elliott Was
able to visualize the play to the audi
ence in thoroughly enjoyable manner
Mr.. Elliotts pleasing rendition and pure
diction made many friends last evening
which will serve him in good stead whei
he returns again next season.

fee, for during the interim the mem
bers of the two houses have an oppor-
tunity more carefully to investigate the
needs of the state and to familiarize
themselves with the work to be ac-
complished."
MIR. Percy declared that he believed
1t would be the policy of the legisla
ture. should an extra session be called
to work for the common good rather
than for any extremely antagonistic
legislation. He intimated that he
thought the liquor question would not
be an issue.
Mr. Percy came down from Birming-
ham this morning to see Governor
O'Neal in reference to certain tax mat
ters in which the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company is involved. He
was in conference with Governor O'Neal
from / o'clock until 5 o'clock this aft
ernoon. In addition to Governor O'Neal
and Mr.. Percy there was present at the
conference Col. Jesse Sta11ings. Frank
S. White and DR.. Seay of Birming-
ham. Following the conference Gov
ernor O'Neal and others present dur
ing the meeting declared that there
was nothing to be given out for pub
lication. 1t is understood, however that
the conference was in reference to the
raise in the assessment made by the
state tax commission on the property
of the Tennessee and subsidiary COM
panies.
The tax commission raised the assess
ment of that company more than $20,-
600, 900 over the assessment made by
the tax assessor. An appeal was taken
and the matter Is now pending in
court. 1t is b Heved that there was
some talk todaxsof a compromise, but

was reached at the conference today

PANY'S ASSESSMENT
- s.I.l73,i..s ssslssli.E.H 49,

Montgomery, January 15.-(special.)-
walker Percy of Birmingham favors an
extra session of the Legislature.
He made a statement to this effect in
Montgomery this afternoon just before
leaving on the night train for the Magic
City.
According to Mr.. Percy, there is much
good that an extra session of the legis
lature could accomplish provided the ses-
sion is harmonious, and the prominent
Birmingham attorney who was one of the
leaders on the floor of the house in the
last legislature sees no reason why that
result should not be achieved.
Much time was wasted by the members
In the last legislature, said Mr.. Percy.
at took them considerable time to get
acquainted, and many of them were en-
tirely unfamiliar with legislative proce-
dure, with the practical experience they
gained during the last session they should
now be able to accomplish a great deal of
work within comparatively short time.
Moreover, they are now more familiar
with the needs Of the state. and this fact
should enable the members of the two
tion as will best serve the states in
terest."
