TALK ABOUT THE
CITY BUILDING
Plans Being Considered for New Gas
Company.
Bl-PR0DUCT PLANT IN IT
Parties Owning Property Near Here
Want to Improve 1t.
WORK ON THE NEW CITY CHARTER
Will Begin at Once Expansion of the
e City Limits Will be One of the
Questions Considered-Two
Legislative Bodies.

There may be something said at the next
meeting of the city council which will open
the eyes of the old gas company.
1t is possible that the special committee
will not have it's report ready by that time,
and if not. the matter will be postponed
two weeks longer.
When the report is In shape it will mean
that the old gas company will have
competitor. Parties are now figuring ON the
scheme and have been for week. Several
gentlemen are expected here in few days
to consult with the committee.
The plans so far outlined are similar
to those of Messrs. London and Haas. A
company which desires to make it's prop
erty in the vicinity of Birmingham more
valuable is considering the feasibility Of
building bi-product plant. The company
has excellent facilities for such a venture
and in this connection would like to pipe
its gas product into the city. Enough gas
to supply the citizens could be easily re-
fined at little additional cost. The outcome
of the deal will be known as soon as the
representatives of the capitalists arrive and
make more thorough investigation.
The New City Charter
Mayor Evans and City Attorney Lowe
will begin work at once on the new city
charter. 1t will take them a month to get
it completed and report 1t back to the coun-
Gil.
In an interview Mayor Evans expressed
the opinion that the application of the pro-
visions of the Birmingham amendment
was one of the things needing a new city
charter.
In this new charter will also be taken up
the enlargement of the city limits, a ques-
ton which has been agitating the public
mind for some time.
Oneother problem is to abolish the leg1s-
lative vote of the mayor and give him the
power of veto.
Then the question of establishing two
municipal legislative bodies will be enter
ed into The present idea is to establish
board of aldermen and a common council
The matter of extending the powers of the
board of aldermen over the conduct of the
police department will be a measure con-
sidered Among others will be the inferior
criminal court and the public schools.

lgnatfuS DOnnelly, OF Minnesota, DdNis, VI
Texas, and Manning, of Alabama. Man
ming so swept the convention that he was
requested to make a number of speeches
throughout the west for $500 per speech.
He accepted about all the invitations re-
ceived of this nature He was looked upon
as a national leader, along with Taube-
neck, Weaver, Watson, Polk and Others
In the Legislature
In 1894 he was elected a member of the
Alabama legislature from Clay county, and
made some reputation as an orator and
party leader. Soon after the adjournment
of the legislature his active young brain
concocted another bleeding" scheme. He
originated the idea of a Southern Ballots
Rights League, which was supposed to cor
rect the so-called ballot stuf11ing in the
south, and at the meeting of this league
in New Orleans he was chosen president
and secretary and treasurer of the concern,
which operated to the benefit of his
finances to some extent. While discussing
the merits of his new born babe, Manning
attracted considerable attention throughout
the north and east, and was invited to
make addresses at such notable
events as the Republican club dinner of
New York city and the Union League club
of Philadelphia, the richest club in the
United States.
Before McKinleys nomination in 1896,
Manning posed as a populist, but merely to
advocate fusion between the populists and
republicans Failing in this, he turned his
Influence to the republican ticket, with the
promise of rich reward, but the Vaughn
Youngblood element from Alabama made
it too hot for him, and he withdrew from
the Washington scene. 1t is said that he
is still given free access to the white house,
and is a personal friend to the president
and prominent republican leaders.
In Alabama, the "evangel' has kept
rather quiet His head bobbed up in the
recent local fight in Tallapoosa county
when he stumped the county for the indie
pendent candidate for probate judge, but
that candidate got left, poorer, but wiser
man. Manning says he has nothing to re-
gret for his course in Alabama politics. He
submits that the opposition he worked up
forced the state to push it's best men for
ward as leaders, exposed conditions exist
| ing because of political lethargy, and
| brought about general sentiment in favor
| of a better administration of affairs in Ala
bama.
81 may have been rather harsh at times"
said Manning "but it often required radical
men and. extreme methods to work up and
arouse the people If 1 took the part of an
agitator for this purpose, my opponents
will concede that 1 shook their foundation
and assailed the breastworks, and If they
fortify themselves by pursuing the course
which meets the applause Of the people, it
meets my applause 1 attacked politicians
TO give emphasis to the fact that something
was wrong, and that people at home should
right that wrong"
The "evangel' is laying low in politics
now waiting for something to happen'
when he will likely again bob up
