LOTHIAN MAY EXTEND
 ITS SEWER SYSTEM
City and County Authorities Likely to Clash Over Certain Sani-
 itary Questions

Dothan, June 1s-(Special)-Cfty and county authorities may clash over certain sanitary questions in and near Dothan. The county board of health has notified the city. through the city health depart ment. that unless dry wells and surface closets on South St. Andrews street are done away with by the city that the county board will call upon the state health officers to take hand in the matter, and, If necessary, furnish neces- sary funds to finance the prosecutions. The county board of commissioners has notified the city, through the city en- gineering department, that unless condi- tions caused by sanitsry sewer outlets in the eastern part of the city are re- lieved, that the county board or com missioners will institute injunction pro- ceedings against the city.
 Extension of sewer systems is also being considered by the council, but lack of funds Is the main obstacle to extension. In some sections sewers may be extended by assessments against property owners on the baby bond plan, this plan having already been agreed to by some.

 If the bakers of Birmingham could learn how to make a kind of cruller or doughnut that we get down here and would put the same flavor in them there would be an enormous increase in their business and the A.

They seem to have little of something like banana in the center of them, and they are not round but look like they were baked in some kind of fiuted roll The small boy of Birmingham would eat his head off if never have learned the name for them and only know how to ask for them under the general term of pan dulce," which is Mexican for sweet bread The bakeries here get out good bread. but it is rather too hard. more like what we get at Fabacers in New Orleans than anything I ever saw: baker Is pane daro.

against the breakwater. have seen the combers coming 90 feet high in the last two days.
 There is a decidedly hopeful feeling that has developed in the past two days as to the outcome of the mediation pro- ceedings It seems that after all, the leaders of the constittuionalists are begin ming to realize that the best thing for all interests is to stop war and begin work. A great many profess to feel, how ever, that the bandit spirit runs so high in both armies that it will be most diff cult to hold marauding bands in check. The peon class seem to be fairly well sat- isfied here, for they now have work, prompt pay and fair wages. It is a sight to see Major Woolf of the public works department paying off on Sunday morn ing. It cannot be done on Saturday, be- cause the names are so long and difficult to write that the office men cannot well get them ready. About every fifth man Is named Jesus. In fact. I think that there cannot be found Mexican family of any size In this city but what there is one of them by that name.
 Sees Mexican Orphans
 I saw my first lot of orphans that were regular inmates of an asylum that they run here. They are equipped with uni forms very much like orphanages back in the states and march in order They were nearly all under 10 years of age, as it seems that when they get much above that age they can make their own way in the world. The girls had their hair cut close like the boys. They seemed to be genuine children. as they chatted and laughed as they passed along the street. There is another orphan here who has been taken care of by an army off cer. This little fellow was found half frozen with fright and his clothing cov- cred with blood as he lay between the dead bodies of his father and mother who were killed in the trouble here.
 A prominent newspaper man got the story and has the picture of the little fel- low The army officer bought him a suit of white duck, had 1t made to order. and the little boy was as proud as a peacock when his picture was made And yet it is said that the poor little fellow can be found sometimes with the tears running down his cheeks crying for the mother that can never return to tuck him into bed
 We had a great treat last evening when the office force consumed 10-pound pineapple of the best flavor that I ever tasted It was sent down to my chief, MT H. M Robinson, by the postmaster from Cordoba. We had it peeled and 1t was eaten without sugkar of any kind, which was not needed, as the pineapple was so sweet and juicy. I never saw anything like it in a pineapple before and never knew that pineapples got soft and mellow like an apple as all that I had ever eaten heretofore were hard.

BANK OF EUFAULA
 ID INCREASE STOCK
Directors Decide to Make Increase of S100,000 on
 January l, 1915

Eufaula June 1S.-(Special )-The d. rectors of the Bank of Eufaula have de- cided to increase the capital stock of the bank from s10o,OOO to s20o, 900 on January next, and have appointed the following committee to apportion the stock: W. Lawrence Wild. president of the bank: c. L. Conner, George H. Dent and c. S.. Mcdowell. Jr The increase has been under consideration for the past year as the growing business of the city has dem onstrated that Eufaula needs more bank ing capital in order to handle it properly. The increased capital of the Bank of Eu- faula, with that of the two national banks here. will give the city a total banking capital of s50000O.
 The East Alabama National bank re- gently increased it's capital from s75,o0o to $100,000 and the Commercial National bank from s200000. both of these increases being taken out of the surplus, however. This will make the second increase for the Bank of Eufaula which several years ago increased it's capital from $5o,0OO to s10o,000. It is one of the two Alabama state banks that are members of the Ma tional Reserve association, the other be- ing the Sullivan Bank and Trust com pany of Montgomery. A big block of the new stock has already been sold.
 The handsome country residence of Tom Jernison, a we'll known farmer living at Baker Hill, southwest of Eufaula, was totally destroyed by fire last night. The origin of the fire is unknown. although 1t was thought for time that 1t was struck by lightning during a storm that was raging at the time.
 The board of revenue will meet on Mon day, July 13, as a board of equalization and hear complaints against increases in tax assessments made by the tax officers of the county. At that time Tax Asses sor R. M. McEacher and Tax Commis- sioner J. Oppenheimer will have completed their books and reports and these will be in readiness for the action of the board.

And Mrs. Wilkinson remembered
that three days after the day-the 18th
of February-she would pass another
birthday, and this year would bring
round figure; she would be thirty. She
had lost her husband Eve years before,
and 1t was beginning to occur to her
that a single life had its disadvan-
tages. There was no chance for her
to marry again. because men never
came into her life. She had one child.

always getting himself and her into
trouble. But Jimmie did not I'LL the
whole of her life. She craved the So
ciety Of one OF her own generation,
and 1t is natural for the sexes to pre-
fer their opposites.
Jimmie got his mother into one scrape
that appeared to be never ending. In
moment OF weakness she had con-
sented to his having dog. A measly
creature OF yellow color came whining
about the door one day for something
to eat. and Jimmie begged so hard for
permission to keep him that his moth
er consented. That was the great mis-
take Of her life. The dog was
barker. He would bark at those he
loved by way of salute and at those
be hated by way Of antagonism.
Jimmie declared that he wouldn't
stop the dog barking for the word.
He said that the beast was splendid
protection against burglars. Perhaps
he was, for warning, but Bob-that
was the dogs name-was the most
cowardly brute in the world,

Barker, the old bachelor, hated Bob
primarily; Jimmie. his owner, second

Mr.. Barker was too much of gentle

annoyed him. Such was the status
when Jimmie asked and received
money for his annual love messages.
I'm goin','' said Jimmie to himself

a good thing for me to do"
The basic reason for this was, fear
ing that the bachelor would complain
of his dog to his mamma and he would
thereby lose him, Jimmie was inter-
ested In keeping the peace between
the two. So he spent the principal
part of the money given him for the
prettiest valentine he could find and
asked the man Of whom he bought 1t
to address it to his mother. On St
Valentines day he left 1t at the front
door, then ran around to the back of
the house and climbed trellis to his
room.

Mrs. Wilkinson could not at once be-

she had been conscious of being OBJ
served by the bachelor when she stood
at mirror near her back window
prinking and he was at his back win

"Well. Jimmie" she said, 'if had
