WHEEL TAX HELD

Madison County Law Declared Unconstitutional In Test Case
Tsnnessee Valley BureaIl.' ]

HUNTSVILLE. Ala, July 26.-- Madison eounty's wheel tax by which something over $11 900 has been col lected for the general road fund this year on all manner of vehicles that make use of the public highways is not constitutional, according to the opinion of Judge O. Kyle of the circuit court in passing on the case of Madison county vs. c. l. Gwathney of Gurley. Gwath- ney resisted the tax, which amounted to trivial sum in his case, and others who were opposed to the payment of the tax joined with him and ali made of it test case.
 It was fought through the justice of the peace and inferior courts and the county won in every tilt, the opinion Of Judge Kyle being the first time that court has held against the measure. Judge Kyle says the tax is not constitu. tlonal because wagons engaged in hanl- Ing for the county are exempted from its operations.

PASTOR AT MARION
 CALLED TO GEORGIA

,.. MARION, Ala, July 26-(special.) A congregational meeting has been called by the Marion Presbyterian church next Sunday morning to con- slider the resignation of the pastor, Rev. William B. Clemmons. MT. Clem- mons came to Marion four years ago shortly after returning from overseas where he served as divisional secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A. for the Thirty-third division.
 MT. Clemmons has been prominent in in fraternal and civic affairs, serving Temple lodge No. 425 A. F. & A: M., as chaplian; Marion chapter No. IF, R. A. NJ, as high priest and later as secre' tary; Washington commandery No. ], Knights Templar, as recorder, E: ID. King lodge No. 6, Knights of Pythias, as chancellor commander and later as prelate. He was permanent clerk of both the Presbytery of Tuscaloosa and the synod of Alabama; he also served the Presbytery of Tuscaloosa as mode rator and commissioner to the general assembly.
 He was secretary of the Civitan club of, Marion, treasurer of the Perry County Tuberculosis association. He was also grand chaplain of the grand chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Ala bama and grand chaplain of the grand council of Royal and Select MasOns of Alabama.
 He has accepted a position as super intendent of home missions for the Pres bytery of Augusta in the synod of Geor- gia and will take up his duties on Au. gust 1 with headquarters in Augusta.

serting that things had reached such pass that it seemed only necessary for a man to be elected to the legisla- ture to be offered a retainer as counsel of the Alabama Power company; how the power company had attempted to corrupt and suborn the press and had succeeded in many cases, citing ex- amples of advertising contracts being offered to newspapers on a sole basis of editorial support, and how this com pany's record in Alabama was enough to influence anyone with the people's $ interest at heart not to encourage such practices by the monopolistic power groups of the nation.
 The Muscle Shoals plank was imme. diately ratified by the committee and is now part of the democratic plat form.
 These are some of the features which made the New York convention devel- opments memorable in Alabama politics. The various issues and the attitude of members of the delegation toward them promise to be heard from in future campaign. The issues will probable have distinct bearing on Senator Under. woods future influence in Alabama poli. ties. They have demonstrated who were the sincere workers in his cause in re. sponse to mandate from the people of Alabama at the polls, and have shown who were using Senator Underworld name in influence to accomplish other things hurtful to the peoples interest They have drawn more tightly than ever in Alabama the lines between progres. sive and prohibition principles and re, actiOnary and corporate influence.
 Time will tell which group is to domi- nate Alabama in ther years to come.

MORE ATTENDING
 SUMMER SCHOOL
Increase In Enrolment Fees Fails To Keep
 Back Students
(state Capital Bursau.) ]

MONTGOMERY, Ala. July 26.-At- tendance at summer schools this sum- mer is, as a whole, equal and per haps somewhat ahead of that for last year, according to Assistant State Su- perintendent of Education R: B. lid we'll. This is in spite of the fact that summer school fees have been. raised, owing to the failure of the legislature to provide adequate funds for the vari- ous state institutions of learning.
 Work at the summer scholso includes the. same characters of studies at the regular session, with additional profes- sional courses. Auburn and the uni versity will each have 40 to 50 gradu- ates, who will receive degrees, at the end of the summer school.
 The approximate enrolment for summer schools at various institutions is given by Mir. Tidwell as follows:
 University of Alabama, over 1900; Florence Normal, over 1000; Troy Normal, $50; Jacksonville Normal, $50 i; Livingston Normal, GOO; Daphne Nor nal, 150; Auburn, 600: Alabama col lege, 300; Birmingham-Southern and Howard colleges, estimated at about 600 each. A particularly noticeable in-
 
 Daphne, where, under the leadership of Supt. s. H. Murphy of Mobile, the at tendance is nearly three times that of the previous figures.
 In addition there were 250 to 300 Alabama students at Peabody, over POO at Columbia and others at Cornell, liar yard and the University of Chicago and other northern institutions, giving evi- -G kAs, kAh k~, teachers in better preparing themselves for their work.
 For negroes the figures show about 800 enrolled at the State Normal school at Montgomery, about 800 at Tuskegee, nearly 400 at Miles Memorial college at Birmingham, 1S0 at Selma university, about 150 at Stillman institute, Tus- caloosa; 75 at the Agricultural and Me- chanical Institute for Negroes at Hunts vile, and 175 at the Mobile County Training School for Negroes.
