The meeting of the listers of Ben
nington county here with State Tax
Commissioner Charles A. Plumley is
educational gathering that ought to
result in improved service. In most
towns listers are changed frequently
and it is almost certain that once in
two years the legislature viii evise
the tax laws to greater or less de-
gree. The consequence is that many
good citizens VINO wished to do their
duty in years past, have not had the
information needed to 20 at the work
properly. Perhaps the most important
change this year is the Introduction Of
q limited offset arrangement, but with
it goes the provision that the offset
must be proved TO the board of listers.
1t is also provided Offsets are not
allowed against debts owing where the
interest rate is five per cent or less.
The five per cent exemption law of
l9l2 was an effort to encourage the
loaning OF money in Vermont and the
new tax law does not permit advant-
age to be taken of this five per cent
exemption and Of the Offset law also
Neither does 1t permit an offset to Q
person who has, moaey in the bank ex.
cept for the balance by which his
debts exceed his bank account. ~

An Ideal Remedy
for Nursing Mothers
compound of Simple Laxative Herbs
Safe for Baby and
Mother.

Constipation is condition that af-
fects the old, young and middle-aged,
and most people at one time or an
other need help in regulating the &C
tion of the bowels. Harsh cathartics
and purgatives should not be employed
to relieve constipation, as their effect
is only temporary while they shock
the system unnecessarily.
A remedy that can be used with per-
feet safety for the tiniest babe and
that is equally effective for the strong
est constitution is found in the COM
bination of simple laxative herbs
known as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin
and sold in drug stores everywhere for
fifty cents bottle. This is an ideal
household remedy and should be in
every family medicine chest.

and business men OF Albany received
formal notice that the mail matter ed.
dressed to them had been rifled, and re-
quested that Information be furnished az

been distracted.

definitely known until the big task Of

that one letter contained a check foi
$4,000 in favor Of local bank. and THAI
several other good sized checks were left
behind by the thieves
The scene of the robbery is near ths
bridge crossed by the Southern railway

is that il was perpetrated by the sama
persons who held up an express nessen-
ger at Chattanooga earlier in the week
and secured $4,000. The train that car

is INDEPENDENT

To place its tonnage on the market, the
Alabama company is Independent mas
much as it owns and operates three coal
mines, four ore Mines a stone quarry,
three batteries of coke ovens and two
furnaces. The capitalization of the COM
pany is $7100,000, but its properties and
equipment exceed this figure in value
The principal holdings of the company
are in Alabama, although some of the
land is located in Georgia. The three
coal mines that the Alabama company
operates are situated at Lewisburg,
Brookwood and Searles. From them, $500
tons of coal daily is mined Batteries of
coke ovens, totalling 915, are operated
near the extensive outputs of coal.
The only lengthy stretch of railroad
that belongs to the company runs from
East Birmingham to the mines and coke
ovens at Lewisburg
Fifteen hundred tons OF ore is mined
daily. From the two red ore mines at
Alfalfa and Hammond a total tonnage of
1000 tons is gained while the two brown
ore mines, at Ironaton and Hematite Ga,
afford 800 tons of ore Of the brown va
riety.
From the vast amount of raw materials
that the mines have provided, pig iron
is made at the two furnaces at Ironaton
and Gadsden. The coke ovens produce
100000 tons annually, and the company
consumes most of this supply in operat-
ing. However, the ovens at Brookwood
produce a high grade foundry coke and
some of this is offered for sale.
DEVELOPMENT is RAPID

Great strides have been made by the

has been rapid during the past three
years, and it seems assured that the
company will expand. The holdings of
the company are such that growth will
not be retarded by lack of raw materials.
In reserve, the Alabama company has
thousands of acres of coal and ore lands.
In all, it owns 33,1S5 acres of coal lands
and 10,164 acres of brown and red ore re-
serves. The stone quarry at Rock Springs
has abundant store of flux. Limestone
quarries owned by the company provide
this commodity.
Since the reorganization of the Ala
bama Consolidated Coal and Iron COM
pany in 1918 there has been period OF
incessant improvements. In addition to
rebuilding all the plants owned by the
company, new mines have been opened
at Brookwood and Searles. The ore
mines at Alfalfa and Hammond have
been modernzed with electrical equip
ment, as has the coal mine at Lewisburg.
At the head of the Alabama company
is J. w. Niddendorf of Baltimore, but

FEUD|STS ENGAGE
IN PITCHED FIGHT
One Man Is Fatally and
Two Others Painfully
Wounded as Result
of Trouble

Dothan, November Especially west
ley Lindsey was fatally wounded, Cub
Kirtsey and Green Wingate painfully
wounded when the three are said to have
gone to Josiah Buffers home and from
the gate opened fire upon him with pis-
tolls.
Butler stood in his front door and re-
turned the fire with a rifle. Practically
every bullet he fired took effect. Butler
was not hurt.
The battle occurred Friday afternoon
late four miles south of Gordon in re-
mote part of this county. Butler came
to Dothan this afternoon and surren-
dered to Sheriff John A. May. He brought
the first report of the shooting received
here
The trouble, according to Buffers state
ment, grew out of a land feud three
years old Butler had purchased land
which Lindsey and his llnsmen did not
wish him to have, and had made many
efforts to make him leave the community.
The three men appeared at Butler 3
home Friday morning and cursed and
threatened him in an effort to make him
leave. They told Mrs. Butler that they
would be back during the day. Late in
the afternoon they returned and the fight
followed.
Butler told newspaper men who called
upon him in the sheriffs office this after
noon. This trouble has been brewing
three years and the moment had come
when 1 had to shoot or be shot"
