Alexander Black, of Greenfield, who as
sisted John o. Spahr in the defense of James
Burton, convicted of murder in the Han
cock Circuit Court, came to the city yes
terday to draw his allowance from the
county Last week Attorney Black sent in
a bill for 81 800. This amount covered his
own services and those of Hough & Downey,
who took part in the defense at the re-
quest of Mr.. Black. When the attorney APP
peared before the Board of County Com
missioners yesterday he found the members
not disposed to allow his claim. They cited
the Ferriter case, in which Attorneys Grit
fiths q Potts sent in a bill for 81. 500 and
finally consented to accept $780, The board
thought this would be a reasonable allow
ance for Attorney Black, and the Green
field lawyer decided to accept it. The
board promptly drew warrant on the
treasurer fer the amount. John o. Spahr,
the attorney for the poor, received no extra
allowance for his services in defending
Burton. He was allowed personal expenses
incurred dI-ring the trial. Prosecutor Wiltsie
drew $500 for prosecuting the Burton and

Some time ago the Commercial Club wrote
to the legal departments of some of the
large cities concerning the question of ele-
waited railroad tracks. Recently reply was
received from the corporation counsel of
Chicago to the effect that the elevation
there has been entirely a matter of agree
ment between the city and the railroad
companies. Thomas J. Sutherland, assist
ant corporation counsel, thinks there is no
question of the city's full authority to
compel the elevation of the tracks and road
beds of the railway companies. This au-
thority, he held, is neither more nor less
than that of the due exercise OF the police
powers of the city, through its city council,
for the public safety.

Another Convict Horror.

According to a special report just made
to the governor of Georgia, which ap-
peared in The Age-Herald yesterday,
many convict camps in that state are
conducted in a brutal and disgraceful
mannsr. The report mentions instances
In which prisoners have been inhumanly
treated and murdered by their guards,
and it is stated that no effort is made
to keep the sexes apart.
Th= next legislature will wrestle with
the convict problem, and a bitter fight
may be expected. The lease system will
have its advocates, but there is a grow
ing sentiment i'm favor of working the
prisoners on the public roads. Every
year the question becomes more trouble
some here in the south where the black
population furnishes the greater num-
bsr of our criminals. 1t is very light
punishment to take stalwart negro
binary days work.
Convict labor would provide a state
with good roads in the course of time.
but many communities would object TO
the presence of travelling camps of MALE
factors. The prisoners would always
be attempting to escape, and they would
be a constant menace. 1t is hard to de-
eide upon the best disposition to be made
of these public enemies, but it is plain
that the state should protect them from
unnecessary hardship and cruelty.
Surely there is wisdom and humanity
enough among the lawmakers of the
south to establish and maintain just
and a decent penitentiary system.

travel and traffic, and causes the people

Birmingham is comparatively new
city, and at favorable seasons of the
year it should encourage these excursions
from distant towns and states. In this
way thousands of strangers viii be able
to gain from their own personal obssr-
Walton some impressions Of this city,
which will be both useful and profitable.
There are many Intelligent people within
a radius of 200 miles Of this city who
have only a very vague conception Of
the magnitude of its business and in
dustria1 interests. They do not under
stand the nature Of the advantages
which Birmingham can offer purchasers
and consumers.
The bsst way for merchants and eusto-
mers to come to an understanding is to
meet and get acquainted, and periodical
excursions to the cities afford the de-
sired opportunity. The idea is a good

CORN BURNED AS FUEL.
The Opinions of Minnesota Farmers Who Have
Made the Experiment.

From the ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
Island Lake, Mimi, Aug. 4.-There is
an interesting discussion going on here
among farmers as to the value Of corn
as fuel. Many of them claim that corn
is far superior to coal. Others say that
they do not like the idea of using food
such as corn for fuel Levi Gardiner, a
prominent farmer speaking on this SUBJ
ject, said:
81 have proved, after considerable ex-
perience, that corn makes better and
cheaper fuel than COAL Last fall I had
ten acres of corn. From this crop not
only had sufficient fuel for winter and
spring use, but 1 also fed two of my
horses and one COW with corn for the
same length of time" j. C. Beach, an
old SETTLER here, spoke i'm similar terms.
He said: zone winter I traded large
quantity of my corn for wood. l have
always regretted that transaction. The
wood burned up much more quickly than
the corn would have done. Corn gives
out great deal more heat PER pound
than either wood or coal does. Corn is
a clean fuel 1t burns with an intense
heat Some people don't like the idea
of burning corn. Th+y say it is meant
for food and not for fuel. But what
does that matter if it saves them money?
Corn as fuel has two disadvantages:
First, it gives out such intense heat that
it is liable to injure the stove; secAnd,
a bin full of corn always attracts rats
to a house. This first difficulty can be
removed with a suitable stout stove
The second, with few traps and cats.
At the present price of corn and coal,
| believe it pays farmer to burn corn"
One of the most thrifty and successful
farmers in this neighborhood is John
Anderson. He said: There Is no doubt
that when coal is dear and corn cheap
farmers should use corn for fuel If
the burning of corn became common 1t
| would assuredly t=nd to lower the price
of coal. use corn for cooking purposes,
| and think it is far ahead of coal. A
| farmer can grow crop Of corn on the
same land again and again, but he
| can't raise coal crop. I raise enough
| corn for feeding and fuelling purposes.
| This combination is, think, the best
| and most economical for farmers

Made in GERMANY

This combination of words Is full of
meaning and interest to every trade
hungry nation in THE world. 1t is seen
in every center of trade--in every coun-
try, and almos. in every desert of every
COUNTRY. England is today very s. rlous-
ly considering the three words, and she
begins to see that ironclads and S0-ton
guns will not aid in their education, or
change their future m-aning. Uncle sam
should also try to ascertain why SO many
commodities are nowadays stamped
with the three magic words.
And The more the case is etudl.d, the
palmer does it appear that Germany has
been long-headed in this age of great fac
TORIES and steam power and extensive
machinery. She established a generation
| ago technical schools in which every bit
| eff art and of those sciences applicable
to industrial production, and THE h.st
methods of each application, were taught.
! Every trade had at least one school in
| each locality. In Saxony there are three
industrial schools lin Prussia 26o. and
corresponding numbers in Bavaria, Ba-
den, Wirtemburg, and in the other parts
of the empire Such schools TAXI the
place of the apprenticeship system, which
became impracttcable in the divisions OF
labor chat followed the application of
st:am power to machinery. and the or
ganization of mills on a. scale formerly
unknown.
Other countries have been careless In
this respect, including our own. All 9TH
ers are a gemraition behind Germany In
the training OF slsiliful worlxn1en for serv-
Ice, as foremen and the like In this steam
ard machinery age. This is why made
in GERMANY" is everywhere seen. Ger
many's methods stand approved, and the
sooner we begin to employ them the SOON
er we win begin to approach Germany's
reward. In the modern Industrial world
we cannot reap where we have not care
fully and thoughtfully sown.

Dinqleyism in Alabama.

The Baltimore American after present
ing a glowing but not extravaganza pic
fure of iron and steed manufac curing in
the south, casually wnnders into the
realm of fiction when 1t says, '9he south
has passed through very fortunate
change of sentiment In regard to che
proper protection of these ma nufactur-
es."
If 1t means to say that Ala barna-n,ade
iron and steel needs any protection what
ever, 1t does not know those industries as
they exist today.
If Ii thinks the manufacturers of iron
and steel in ihfs state consider the duties
upon such metals essential, or in any
resnsc. desirable, then it is again at sea-

ing wages or the amount of labor it un-
derrates their intelligence

changes in sentiment" in Maryland, but
Ut knows very little about such changes
In Alabama If 1t does not know that the
people of this state believe The Dingley
Bill gives protection, so calNsd, where It
Is not needed, thereby rendering revenue
in many cass impossible, thus making 1.-The

tional as it is full of jobs and sectional

BIRMINGHAM Real Estate.

Prosperity and plenty are near at hand.
From all sections comes chorus of i'm
proving conditions and better times. Crops
are splendid in this country, but abroad
they are bad. The condition of the far
mer will be better this fall than in many
years. He is sure of higher prices for
his products.
With these promises of prosperity there
is no better investment than Blrming-
ham real estate. Property is reasonable
here. Indeed it Is cheap. The man who
buys eligible real estate at prevailing
prices is bound to realize a handsome
profit.
For several years values have been 60
ing down. But all that had been needed
to re-estabiish values has been the prom
ised return of prosperity. If 1t really be
at hand no better investment exists
than Birmingham real estate. ~.
