bad with the county officials and as
result there was one socialist jus
tice of the peace who has been hold
ing forth in the Lone Grove precinct
ousted from office and criminal char
ges may be preferred against him.
Another wife beater was placed in
the county Jail on the charge of beat
ing his wife, and the third was ar

wanted for perjury, alleged to have
been committed in a recent trial be-
tween himself and the county super

from a school which be was teaching
at Fox upon complaint that his moral
| conduct was not above reproach.
There is also charge pending in
| the latter case Of sending obscene
matter to a little girl pupil, which
will be tried at the next term of the
county court.
The first case referred to was that
of J. n. Copeland a justice of the
| peace, whom it was alleged got mix
ed up in a liquor transaction with
another man that led to his undoing.
| He was given a hearing before the
Board of County Commissioners yes
| terday afternoon, and his resignation
asked for. What the county authorl-
| ties will do in the matter remains to
| be seen, but it is alleged that there
are good grounds for criminal pros
ecution in his case.
"Kumrid' P. c. Anderson was ar
rested on charge sworn out by
his wife, alleging cruel treatment,
! and the case was heard before Judge
Champion yesterday with the result
that he was remanded to Jail with

was arrested as stated above at
Duncan, and will be returned here
to answer the charges preferred
against him. The circumstances, as
related by the authorities, in refer
ence to the Fox transaction, where he
was suspended from teaching, are
somewhat revolving, and if sustained
NAV lead to further complications
with Carter.

According to Father Aguilar, the
Jalapa cathedral was crowded on the
morning of May 26 when the soldiers
entered the church and arrested the

rushed away to the interior of Mex
leo.
The bishops secretary declared he
escaped from the cathedral by a
rear entrance, and made his way to
Vera Cruz, where friends assisted
him to leave the country.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
 WILL RECEIVE PAY
 BEFORE CHRISTMAS
State Warrants Have AL ready Been Issued to the EducationalDepartment
 for This Purpose

Montgomery, December 13.-CSpecIaL) Public school teachers will be paid their salaries for November between December 15 and 20. Warrants for the amount of the salaries have been delivered to the state educational department by the state auditor and the moment collections of the state treasury are sufficient to meet the pay roll the county treasurers of school funds will be notified to pay the salaries and forward the warrants to the treasury for collection.
 George w. Ellis, chief clerk of the treasury, Wednesday afternoon said the teachers would receive their money in time for the holidays, and that the state would not be forced to borrow any money to meet the pay roll, the saI- aries being paid from tax collections The delay has been caused by the ne- cessity of placing money In New York to meet the semi-annual interest of the states bonded indebtedness, which must be paid January l, regardless of all other obligations.

ENGLISH COMMENT

London, December 13,-Among state ments regarding the peace overtures by the central powers given out today was one from Sir Gilbert Parker. which sad in part:
 Docs any reasonable minded German think that France, Russia. Italy, Eng land, and. above all. Belgium, Rumania, Servia and Montenegro, would agree to peace which did not include the res- toration,, with due compensation of these small kingdoms as they were before the war? Does anyone suppose that we in this country, who went into the war bit- terly resenting the militarism threatening the very foundations of civilization, would assent to a peace which would leave Ger many's military powers unbroken?
 This Is not the time for Germany to talk peace, unless she merely wants .o create in neutrals like the United States the impression that she, in humanita- rian spirit, desires to end the war and that it is only incorrigible, rapacious Eng land and her allies that prevent it."

 "Lemme give this nickel to that pooi man, mamma" he said, and scurried across the street, where he had spice one of Birminghams unfortunates on crutches. In a minute he returned, his pockets minus the coin they had held, but his face shining with Christmas enthusiasm.
 'T told him to buy him a wagon for Christmas" he said, and he and the happy mother walked away.
 Then came a couple, she evidently A school girl, he a high school boy. They stopped on the corner, and seemed to be waiting for a car. But it came to pass that they were turned around facing the show window, and cars might have come and gone for all they cared She was in deep admiration for the little silver vanity boxes displayed in the window. He was watching her.
 Suddenly she looked, and her eyes met his. She didn't say a word; he didn't either. But it's safe bet that one little red haired girl is going to get silver vanity for Christmas.
 Just about that time I heard coin drop in the pot of the Salvation Army lady beside me. It made a loud noise, and sounded like big coin. I inquisi- lively looked into the pot to see how much it was. Couldn't have been so very big for there were only half dozen coins in there, three dimes, a nickel and a quarter. I'd been stand ing there five or 10 minutes, and that was the first coin that had been dropped through the wire over the kettle.
 Pretty slow work, isn't it?" asked the lady with the smiling face.
 Tt looks that way" she answered, "but 1t isn't so slow. You'd be sur prised at the amount of money I find in the pot each night. Sometimes I'll go 10 or 15 minutes and not penny will be dropped; and then, maybe man will come along and drop in a quarter; there's somebody right behind that sees him, and follows his example, and so on, and for maybe 10 or 15 minutes there'll be constant stream. Strange, the way people follow after one an- other, isn't it?'
 The crowd had become especially thick, and I had the pleasure of seeing demonstrated just what she had been telling me about.

 |N|RON PRODUCTION
Maben Says Nearly 6OO,OOO Tons of Foundry Will Be Made During the
 Year 1916

The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company will produce during 1916 it's greatest output of pig iron.
 Col. J. c. Maben, president of the great iron producing company, stated last night that all records would be shattered when the 1916 totals were made. The head of the Sloss- Sheffield company will leave this afternoon for Atlanta, after passing nearly two weeks in Alabama making an inspec- ton Of the properties of the company.
 Declaring that the properties oI the company were in good condition, Col onel Maben said he had no announce ments of improvements to make be- lore leaving.
 ''The Sloss- Sheffield companys prop critics are in splendid condition now, Colonel Maben stated last night, "and no improvements are necessary. We are the biggest producers of foundry iron in the world. During 1916 we will have manufactured between 550,0OO and 600,O tons of pig iron. This ex- ceeds our greater annual production by more than 100000 tons That is pretty nice little output, suppose
 Were the directors pleased by the manner in which the 1916 appropria- tions had been spent?"
 Tt is too soon to see whether the appropriations have gotten results or not"
 Will the appropriation for 1917 be greater than that in 1916?"
 q don't see where 1t will be neces- sary to make any big improvements. We are making more foundry iron than ever before and operations are progressing satisfactorily"
 "Then could we state that there Will be no big improvements during 1917?'
 "No. We will be governed by con ditions as they arise. I cant say what we shall decide upon later, but at pres- ent we have no definite plans. The price of materials is too high to make extensive developments"

JOFFRE, OPPOSED, PLACED AT HEAD
 TECHNICAL BOARD
tcontinued from Page one)

seven ministers and two under secretaries belong to the preceding administration, so that the change is not so radical as might be expected. At the same time the appearance of M. Claveille and M Lou cheur as technical experts is welcomed.
 The most popular features of the reor- ganization are the appointments of Gen. Herbert Lyautey as minister of war and General Nivelle as successor to Joffre as commander-in-chief of the western front. All the newspapers print photographs of General Nivelle under the title of "One of the Wars Revelations"
 Long biographies are also published recalling the generals brilliant stroke in recapturing Forts Douaumont and Vaux on the verdun front. The papers also say that the fact that General Nivelle is half English, his mother having belonged to well known Kentsh military family. makes his appointment particularly ac- ceptable across the channel.
 Jules Cambon continues in his post as general secretary of the foreign office.

REJECTED BY PRESS

The German peace proposal is em- phatically rejected by the Times, which says:
 "Germany's proposal bears no relation whatever to the objects for which we are fighting. *@ She has been trying by all the means at her disposal to induce us to make the suggestion of mediation. The attempt has al- mentally and conspicuously failed. and as she does not judge that any neutral power could proffer mediation with much advantage. she falls back on this indirect offer to the belligerents as q Dis aller. It is above all things symp- tom of her conscious weakness. The allies must absolutely reject any idea of mediation in any shape and from any quarter as long as the basis proposed is the triumph of might and not right. They must refuse with equal firmness to even talk about an arr mistice until the lands which the enemy has overrun is restored and compensa- ton made They must renew the enun- citation of their peace terms, laid once for all in MT. Asquith's Guild Hall speech, and must redouble their efforts to force these terms upon Germany and her accomplices."
