The senate has finally passed the bill defining the powers and duties of the state tax commission and revenue and levy bill and sent them to the house which may be taken as indica- tive that this general power given the tax commission may suffice at this time as concerning the question of mine taxation and that no special bill will be passed.

at once you are going to have fine time in
knowing him. You will at once recognize the
hero Of the tale as Bob Taylor, who was Gov

Senator from that State.
Navbe it isn't true story, for no claims are
made for it whatever; but you will feel that 1t
could have been true. 1t makes clear how such
= Governor would be worshiped by his people.
He had great commonsense; but his finest asset
was his kindness. II is the strangcst thing
when proofs are so common that nothing IN
this world pays such big dividends as simple
kindliness, that more people do not profit by it.
Maybe it is because it takes wisdom to be
kind. because good-naturcd yielding IS some
times anything but kind. The element Of JUS
tice comes in as well. When kindness IS
Guided By wisdom it pays better in money and
IN human satisfaction than anything else. And
his story about Fiddng Bob Taylor proves 1t
in a way that will interest you profoundly.

200 Montenegrm Bomb
Throuers Go to Death

Cettinje, April 3.-Great Tara
bosch fort, which for months has held
the allies off Scutari, practically is in
the hands of the Montenegrins, thanks
to the sacrifice of 200 bomb throwers,
every one of whom lost his life in a
last desperate effort to clear a way
to the town, for the possession Of
which Montenegro is ready to give up
everything.
These bomb throwers were all
picked men, chosen from several bat
talions. Clambering up the mountain
side, under a murderous fire from the
Turkish guns, they cut the wire en-
tanglements, and, getting to close
quarters, threw bombs among the
Turks, thus opening the way for the
storming party.
Not one of the bomb throwers re
turned, but they had accomplished
their object, and the Montenegro IN

Euangelistic Serulces
At Baptist Churches

The union evangelistic service at
the First Baptist church at 10 o'clock
this morning was we'll attended.
The services were conducted by
Rev. F. D. King, who used Suffering
With Christ" as theme, emphasizing
the real necessity of such suffering,
where the greatest results are expect
ed, in a religious campaign.
At the close of the sermon Mr.. King
called on all those present who want
ed to feel an agony of sorrow for the
lost to indicate that desire by bowling
their heads. This appeal met with
practically a unanimous response.
The general service IN the church
was proceeded by a workers confer
ence of half hour, under the leader
ship of Rev. Raleigh Wright, who
since DR.. Bruner left, has had charge
of the general direction of the cam
paign.
The service Wednesday night at
the First Baptist church was as usual,
under the leadership of Rev. F. D.
King, who, it is said, preached with
great fervor on the power and duty
of service in the christian life. He
said that if every christian would live
life of real service the conquest of
the world for Christ would speedily
come. There isn't the power in the
lives of christians that there ought
to be-" said he.

fantry, following close upon them,
charged the trenches.
The Turks covered their ground, and
a desperate, bloody, hand-to-hand fight
ensued, lasting an hour and ending in
a victory for the Montenegrins.
Tier after tier of entrenchments had
to be taken, but the troops of the
southern division, under General Mar
tinovitch, to whom the task had been
assigned, over came all obstacles.
The tactics followed, particularly in
regard to the use of bomb throwers,
were similar to those adopted in the
capture of Adrianople. But in the ad-
vance on Adrianople the soldiers who
cut and divided the wire entangle-
ments surrounding the forts were
clad in cuirasses and provided with
shields. At Tarabosch the rough
mountainside made it necessary fol
the Montenegrins to dispense with al
impediments.

lands owned by the Hemphill estate

on January 25, this year, set out IA
