FIRE At SIMPSON.

Yesterday afternoon at o'clock a
fire started in the saloon of Peter Go
gotz and soon gained great force, as a
strong west wind was blowing. At
once the building adjoining caught fire
and other structures, until five were
in flames. The houses were occupied
by Polish tenants and there was great
confusion and excitement in the effort
to save their effects. Some twelve or
fifteen families suffered loss. The
buildings consumed were owned by the
following: Philip Gogotz, Timothy
Hawran, Barney F'eslinsky, Fritz Mar
chuck. A bucket brigade was formed
and pumps used, but the heat was so
intense that efforts to save the build

Thomas L. Quick was held in 5000

his appearance at court on a charge Of
defrauding w. E. Purvis. of Franklin
avenue, out OF n s27 board bill. Quick
admitted owing the bill. but denied
having any disposition to defraud.
Inasmuch as it appeared from the
evidence that Quick had removed the
greater part Of his effects from Pur-
Wis house while the latter was absent
from the city. the alderman concluded
that sufficient intention to defraud had
been shown to warrant him in letting
a jury consider the case.

COLONEL SECOND REGIMENT
The Election Takes Place Tomorrow and
the Compass Points to Maj.
e. L. Higdon.

The election of a colonel of the Sec
ond regiment, Alabama State troops, to
succeed Col Louis v. Clark, recently APP
pointed brigadier- general commanding
of the state military forces, takes place
tomorrow. The vacancy will be filled by
a vote of the commissioned officers.
There are two candidates for the honor,
Maj. E. L. Higdon, of Birmingham, and
Lieut.. Col. H. B. Foster, of Tuscaloosa.
The State Herald was reliably informed
yesterday that Maj. Higdon has six ma
jority of the commissioned officers who
pledged themselves in writing to cast
their votes for him, and as military honor
is too high and sacred for one who wears
the garb of soldier to falter In his prom
Uses, especially over his own signature,
the report to the effect that Col. Foster
has developed into a possible successful
competitor for the place. sounds rather
fishy. Col Foster Is a worthy and eff1-
cient officer, but it has been conceded for
several days that Col. 1igdon has a suffi-
cient number of pledged votes to elect
him. Hence no publicity was made of
the matter awaiting the casting of the
vote. But now that the rumor has been
published that Col. Foster will probably
be elected, the election promises to re-
solve itself into quite different atti-
tude, and POSSIBLY reach very peculiar
phase.
1t is to be hoped that the election will
not resolve itself into such a condition
as to strain the good feeling now exist
ing, which will be the case unless some
commissioned officer has either written
too much or pledged his vote too quick
ly. AS the matter stands, in black and
white, before the vote is taken to sup
port it, Maj. Higdon is not only in the
lead, but virtually elected.

WHERE is THE FIRM :?
A Stranger Goes On to Atlanta Rather
Than Take the Trouble to Hunt
Up a Firm.

A gentleman from neighboring city
arrived in Birmingham yesterday and as
he took his seat in a barber chair casual
ly remarked to the tonsorial artist:
ut does look like city the size of Bir-
mingham ought to keep anything a fell
low wants in the hardware line"
THAT is certainly So" put in the polite
hair dresser, land what is it you want ?"
"Well, 1 am on my way to Atlanta to
buy a set of dental tools.'
Dental tools? Why, my dear sir, there
is firm in the city, I understand that
handles dental tools as a specialty-any-
thing you want"
II would like for you to call police
man and locate that firm. I have never
seen, heard or read of it, and you are
the first man have met who ever claim
ed to know there is such concern in the
city. 1t would save me my expenses to
Atlanta, and have no doubt l could buy
them here just as cheap"
The barber ratched his head to re-
member where the firm was located as
the stranger put on his coat and bid him
adieu, saying as he left 1t was cheaper
to go abroad than to waste a week to
locate any business that is hid to the
public.
The above nara tive is literally true,
and the newspa per man who was leisurely
enjoying a shave could but think how
much money floats to other markets
simply because Birmingham dealers do
not put their business before the public.
The time has passed when the busy
world will run you down to trade with
you when others are extending "a kind
invitation, showing thereby that they
appreciate your trade.

To the Social Editor:-You seem to
think that superlative adjectives are nee
essary to the equipment of a society
writer. Not so.eeThe best newspapers
have relegated superlative adjectives to
the lum ber-room of their vocabularies.
They state things in simple and con-
else manner and allow the reader to draw
his own conclusions. The staten mt
stands for itself.s The brides costume is
not described as being costly and elabor-
ate, but the material is described and
the intelligent reader knows whether it
is cheap or expensive Shakespeare does
not make his characters say in so many
words whether they are good or bad, but
he let's the reader draw his own conclu-
sions from their words and actions. In
the best society a good deal is understood
much is taken for granted-a hint is
sufficient. Elaborate description and
minute analysis is not necessary. SUI
perlative adjectives are superfluous.
