BLACK VISITS LOWNDES

Hugo L, Black, solicitor of Jefferson county, who has charge of the cam paign against blind tigers in Mont gomery, went to Lowndes county on secret mission Saturday morning and spent sometimes at Lowndesboro. He declined to make any statement about the visit, as did William l.. Martin, attorney general, under whom he is working, but it is believed he is mak- ing an investigation to determine how Lowndesboro may be prevented from being the shipping point for liquors consigned ultimately to persons who are violating the prohibition laws here.
 William j. Toole of Montgomery who was mentioned in injunction pro- ceedings against the Louisville and Nashville railroad Thursday as one of the persons in conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws, recently was fined in Lowndes county for attempt ing to move liquors from the depot at Lowndesboro. The state charged that Toole intended to bring the liquors to Montgomery in violation of the law which restricts liquor ship ments.
 The state believes liquors consigned to fictitious persons have been deliv- cred at Lowndesboro and later trans ported overland to Montgomery and used in supplying blind tigers.

CHILDREN DROWN
 WAD|NG IN POND Livingston Is Shocked by Tragedy at Picnic of
 Women and Children

Livingston, June 2-(Special) l)-Wilburn Gait, 6-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. Sidney Gait, and a colored boy, 10 years old, were drowned at Patton's pond a few miles from Livingston about noon today.
 A large number of women and chil- dren from Livingston had gone to the pond for picnic today and no men were present. Five of the children were wading in the pond holding each other s hands. The negro boy was the oldest and was showing the others how to wade. When the five stepped over their heads and went under the screams of the ladies brought David Davis, who was working nearby and he succeeded in rescuing three of them.
 Livingston has been thrown into gloom today by the tragedy.

running behind more than s4oO,0oo. These facts are shown by figures ob- tained from the state auditors de- partment today.
 Total receipts from October 1 to June were $S,s6s, ,2sO.O2, while total disbursements were $5.955, ,50s.63, leav- ing s672,741.39 in the treasury. Total receipts from October 1, 1915, to June l. 1916, were $6,1S6,149.S0, while total disbursements were s5,9eS,s ,s12.S6. leav- ing s167,5S744 in the treasury. It will be seen that total disbursements for the two periods were practically the same, while receipts for 1916-17 were greater by more than s5OO,OO0.
 For the period between June 1 and October 1, last year, total receipts were $1,004. .525.06, while total disburse- ments were S1,592,7S191. The heavy disbursements of the remaining months will take the amount of this years collections which has not been spent, giving the state a record for the year of living within it's income. Of course, the deficit of about $2, 000,00 created in other years will re- main to be cared for, but all state officials seem to believe there will be no increase in the deficit as a re- suit of operations this year.
 Every indication now is that the state will live within it's income this year" said M. c. Allgood, state audi tor in giving out the figures Tt will be seen that total collections to date have been $500,000 more than expenses and this amount will care for the in crease in expenditures over receipts this summer"

REGISTERED" MEN :, WILL BE FEATURE OF GREAT PARADE Chairman Porter Urges Every Man to Register
 Early and March WILL FORM ESCORT
 FOR GENERAL WOOD Men-BIack and White-Will Assem- ble on Opposite Sides of West
 Park-Will Have Place
 of Honor

Many interesting features will be 1n- cluded in the parade that will be staged in Birmingham on Tuesday, Registra- tion Day, but probably no one particu- lar thing will attract as much atten- tion and intense interest from all spec tators and especially from the guest of honor Gen. Leonard Wood. as the thou sands of men between the ages of 21 and B. who will have registered and formed into a column of immense length and breadth, and will be seen in march as eastern department.
 Col T. O. Smith, grand marshal of the day, has assigned to a committee of young men of registration age the duty of assembling and organizing this body of men, white and colored, for the pa- rade. The men are requested to assem- ble every man in the city of registration tage after they have registered. which they are requested to do early at West park and Seventeenth street, north, at 12 o'clock sharp; the white men on the Seventeenth street side of the park and the colored on the Sixteenth street side.
 These men, when they go to the front will most likely be commanded by Gen. eral Wood. senior general of the United States army, who will watch them pass in review Tuesday. For this reason they are urged to march in the parade and make the very best showing possible for Birmingham.
 Quite naturally, this body of men will make more direct appeal to General Wood than any other one phase of the parade or incident of his trip to Birmingham. Being a soldier, one who has given his life to his country. it is reasonable and logical to believe that his eye will run down the line of men, taking in each and every man in his minds eye, with an idea of just what the complement of nor will mean to the United States nor will he forget what it will mean to Birmingham and to the loved ones of these men to send them to tie front.
 The men forming this section of the parade have been given the place of honor in the line of march. They are entitled to it and they will honor the occasion in numbers It is the de- sire of the chairman of the registration committee, Henry J. Porter, Jr., that every man who registers be present and march,.

construction of the state laws relat- ing to that county, Mobile will prob
 ably be given a school by the high school commission. William F. Feagin, state superintendent of education, an- ,nounced yesterday that he will make a visit to Mobile county soon and will inspect site at Wilmer which has been proposed as the location of the institution. If it is satisfactory and evidence is given that the school can be maintained, the commission will vote to place it there.
 Heretofore Mobile county has been operated under it's. own educational laws and state officials have contend- ed that it was not entitled to a high school as provided by the laws of 1907. The commission has about reached the conclusion that Mobile should not be discriminated against but should have one of the state high schools. Governor Henderson is willing to release $3000 a year for the school provided Mobile county is entitled to r..
