SHERIFF'S ANNUAL
 COLLECTORS BOND

Sheriff R. H. Williams yesterday filed his annual collectors bond which will be submitted for approval within a day or so. The bond is given be- cause of the large sums that come into his hands as collector of taxes.
 The instrument yesterday was, per haps, the largest ever filed for a like purpose in Jefferson county. It calls for $550,000 and is signed by the sher- tiff and 32 citizens, each mentioning the amount he is willing to be respon- sible for. Several of the signers are individually worth far more than the face of the bond itself, and all others are amply able to stand for sums far in excess of the portion set opposite their names.
 The personnel of the signers is such that as constitutes most representa- tive class, there being planters, gank- CTS, merchants, manufacturers land others. The highest individual re- sponsibility is $125,0O0; the next is S50,000 and the other liabilities range from this last sum to 5000. and $5,- 900.
 Tt is a big bond and good bond" said the sheriff in speaking of the instrument, "and I am proud and grateful when I look at that list of fine and substantial names that is behind me in my collections"
