Birmingham's new industries are nov en for a powder mill and also for $60 coo fertilizer factory; work on the new steel ! plant is progressing nicely and rumor has 1t four more of equal size will fol- : low in the wake. The half million dol lar cotton mill is moving along nicely ! with just as many hands at work as can be prefitably handled. Besides these in dustriss more than 100 dwellings are in course of construction and repairing and the paint brushes are moving side by side in every quarter of the city. The various parks have all been put in at tractive condition and are the rendezvous of number of pleasure seekers every day. in the week. The erection of two
 handsome five-story business houses in

 everything will be as bright and clean as a new dollar, Several miles of side walks have been paved and bricked; new sewers put in and other necessary work } done for the health and convenience of . the citizens. The electric car lines and dummies are all enjoying good patron < age and even the hack drivers are smil- 7 ing through their hats. The health of the city is good, the picnic and com . mencement season is upon us and re- ; 1igious services are held from two to four times per day in several sections of the city. Birmingham is cutting a wide

#HAT SAY THE CITIZENS 2 Shall Birmingham Have the En- ..:s Campment?   THE TIME IS FAST FLYING thRlf.t4ef.= And the Opportunity Is Gradually Slipping
 Away-0ny Few More Dollars Are
 Needed What Will You Give?
IE TIME IS FAST FLYING

Does Birmingham want the encamp- ment of one or both regiments, is the question that is to be decided today. To get them both our citizens must sub- scribe more hberally than they have done 50 far Let those who get the direct benefit give the largest amounts, yet all should give something, from $1 up as each person is benefited. This must be so, for $25, GOO put in circulation in two weeks helps everybody. The committee appointed by the Commercial club re- quest those subscribed, who have not paid to remit today without fail to Gen. Louis Clark, trustee of the military fund, and any other public-spirited citizen, whether subscriber or not should send si1fs ssFlratsver he can afford for the com mon good of our city, as the question will doubtless be decided today and 1t would not, reflect credit upon Birmingham when only about $500 more than has al- ready been subscribed would give East Lake both encampments.

GE0RGlA'S GOVERNOR
Visits the Birmingham Mining Camps for the Purpose of Investigating the
 Alabama Convict System. G1o-91-r- .nil9 "a :.

Cow Atkins n, Of G orgia, accompanied by part of his staff and Hon. H. Hall, chairman of the convict committee of the Georgia legislature, ard the chief man. ager of tine Georgia convicts, reached the city yesterday in a special car. They were 'sr route to the convict camps near Birmingham to investigate the Alabama system. The party stopped in the city only long, enough to have their car at- tached to a special train on the Mineral line to carry them to the mines, where they were met by Capt. Barker ard Dr. Blake, of the board of convict inspectors, who extended all the courtesies desired in showing and explaining the workings in the 1ninu test details. Gov. Atkiknson expressed .himsc1f as highly pleased with the Alabama system. which he said was superior to that of Georgia and other states he had visited.
 The convict lease system which has been in vogue in Georgia for several years will expire next year and the au- thorities Are Investigating for the pur- pose of making a complete change in the handling of the oonvicts. which has not been satisfactory under the present plan ard has caused the. state no little trouble and expense.
 'Gow. Atkinson said that he would also visit Speignor at an early date.
