RAISES IN WAGES
 ARE BEING MADE
Street Car Companies Increase Pay and Miners Go Up
 Another Notch.

Yesterday both of the electric street rail- roads of the city, the Birmingham Rail- way and Electric Company and the Bir- mingham Traction Company voluntarily gave their conductors and motormen sub stantial raise in their wages, and there was a corresponding good feeling among all of the employees, numbering several hundred.
 The wages of the men on the Electric company's lines vary according to the division on which they are running. Their best paid conductors will hereafter receive 171a cents an hour instead of 15 cents as at present. The motormen will be advanced from 12 to 15 cents. This increase applies only to those men who have been in the service of the company for one year and over. New men will get the old wages for one year. until they learn the business.
 On the Birmingham Traction Company new motormen will receive 1S cents an hour, which, after the end of six months service, will be increased 10 14 cents and after a year to 15 cents. In the same manner the conductors will get IA, 15 and 16 cents per hour, according to the length of service Heretofore the motormen on the Traction Company have been receiy- ing 13 cents and the conductors 14 cents.
 Superintendent Clark of the Traction Company has also posted a notice that ten-day vacation on full pay will be given in October to the motorman and conduc- tor who shall have made the best record before that time. A second prize will also be offered.
 As was stated in The Age-Herald last week, 1t was found on the examination of the books of the Tennessee and Sloss com panes yesterday that the miners were en- titled to another raise in wages of 21a cents per ton, making their total wages 55 cents the maximum that can be paid under the present scale. This makes a total increase of 171a cents the miners have had in thir- teen months; in other words, an increase of 46 per cent

Old Feuds Existing for Past Two Years
 Have Been Settled

Kennedy, August 1.-(Special)- old feuds of the last two years, existing be- tween some of the citizens of this section of Lamar county, have been practically set tied and peace again reigns. The great mass of the people are good Chicago plat form democrats, and are working together to the best interests of the democratic par ty. MT Tomlinsons speech here last Sat- urday did much good. A silver club has been organized in this county, and will probably send an instructed delegation to the next state convention-instructed to vote for a solid Bryan delegation to the next national democratic convention.
 The crops in this neighborhood are good and the farmers are prosperous. A. w. Roland, one of the best known farmers in this section, said yesterday that he would make a hundred bales of cotton this year on one hundred and fifty acres of land, which is a good average for a hilly coun- try. MT. Roland is, however, hard work CT and one of the most intelligent farmers in Alabama.
 By the way. MT. Roland was one of the parties arrested more than a year ago un- der the charge of whitecapping. He has since been trleu ana dcquitteu ana IL seems to have been demonstrated that the charges against him were made more out of malice on the part of some of his enemies than upon a basis of facts. as MT. Roland proved conclusively that he was not in a dozen miles of the place where the alleged white cappers were operating when several crimes were committed last year. Mr. Ro- land is active in politics, and like all active men, has made enemies. His friends are however as staunch as his enemies were vicious.

 ''The strike at Brookwood has not been adjusted. Several conferences have been held, the latest result being a demand from the committee for a scale that puts Brook wood at a disadvantage as compared with Pratt, of 15 cents per ton. I offered a scale that would make the difference s cents or cents per ton. This was re- jected by the committee, and there the matter stands. The company cannot com pete at higher figure than that and will not attempt to do SOL

Today is the last day for the contractors to bid on the paving work to be done in South Twentieth street, and in Second avenue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
