EARL SHREWSBURY

After the death of William st. Lo his
wife married George Talbot, I1arl of
Shrewsbury. who was as much enamored
of her as any of the three husbands who
had preceded him. As in her previous
marriages, she schemed very cleverly to
Set the lions share Of the property into
her hands and controlling influence over
his affairs. But in some scheming she
overreached herself. Not long after her
marriage with the earl, Mary Queen of
SCOTS threw herself upon the protection
of Elizabeth, her cousin and sister
Queen"
As soon as Mary's coming to England
was made certain the Countess OF Shrews-
bury began to seek for her husband the
dangerous honor OF custodian to the per-
son of the Scottish Queen. In this she
succeeded. Elizabeth placed her charge
In the Keeping OF the earl and eonntess and
their castle was turned, in a manner. into
a prison to hold the royal guest 1t was
not long before trouble began in the
family of the Countess of Shrewsbury
Whether Mary Stuart ased her fascination
to excite the earls compassion and allevi-
ate her captivity is not certain but not
unlikely.
1t Is certain that for once the countess
found her rival il not her match. She
could not conceal her discomfort with the
affairs of her household, and when one
day Queen Elizabeth inquired how her
prisoner Jared she made the answer: She
cannot fare III while sne is with my
husband, and | begin to grow jealous.

Queen Mary herself writes to ore of her
friends in France: u have twice informed
you minutely of the scandaious reports
which have been circulated concerning my

These have originated with no one but his
good lady herself. If the Queen of Eng

need of the city of Birmingham for in
not be fairer statement than the very
admirable statement of George Ward,
which was published last Sunday. Unless
there is Increased revenue for the city
of Birmingham It means that the city
will be unable to meet its current obliga-
tions next year At the present rate of
expenditure the banks cannot undertake
to finance the city through another year
unless some assurance is given that there
will be permanent reform. The condi-
tion of the city is not due to the fact
that the administration Is extravagant or
inefficient
Regardless of what may be said of
commission government and the present
board, the government of the city of Bir-
mingham today is in the hands of honest
men. tremendous applause) We all
know that they are honest and we know
that when a dollar of the eity's money
is spent a dollars value Is given. The
city ought not to ne conducted on cheap
er scale. The city of Birmingham is not
doing too much for its people IS mat
ter of fact, the city of Birmingham and
the county of jefferson are not doing
enough for their people. according to the
standards of modern government. Public
charities should be cared for out of the
public treasury and when this is done
the burden of carrying them falls upon
the whole people and not upon a few
public-spirited citizens who are called
upon to contribute to any and every
thing.

TO THE COUNTESS

IL was not long after this that Eliza
beth compelled the earl to relinquish his
charge, but not before he and his countess
had fallen into such a disagreement as
was never wholly removed, although at
last a peace was patched up between
them. The earl died some time before
his wife, who spent her last days in
chickering's and contentious with different
members of her family, and in building
and repairing the castles in her possession
AN ambition which seemed to crafty the
ambition of her restless old age.
The following letter was written to her
by the earl in the days of their early
welded life before she had begun to ee
Jealous of Queen Mary, at this time even
when she was planning to get the oiilce
of custodian to the Queen for her nus

Nearly every section of the state is In
the same condition of this section. The
people of the state of Alabama have said
that the people of this county could have
the right to place the public officials on

ing to return to Montgomery, but If l

Too Much From Licenses

There is but one way to run the city
government more efficiently. and that is
by raising revenue on property taxation.
Too much money is raised from license
tax in this city. The tax should be upon
the property owner and not upon the man
who runs a business.
Il am unalterably opposed to dividing
this county or making of it separate
taxing district. l think that legislation
should be passed that would allow the
city to fix its rate of taxation at 1l5 per
cent The constitution should be amend
ed accordingly. If the legislature passes
such an amendment have no doubt that
the banks of the city would be willing
