NJ. 80. WAS KNOWN
In The AGREEMENT
When Tennessee Company Sold
Birmingham Southern.
THE OLD TALK NOW REVIVED
Understanding Was That the Mobile &
Ohio Should Have Track Privi-
leges Over Joint Property
L. & N. and Southern
THE OLD TALK NOW REVIVED

An Associated Press report from Louis
Vile WAS published in yesterdays Age
Herald to the effect that the presidents OF
the Southern. the Louisville and Nashville
and the Mobile and Ohio railroads had been
consulting in that city to the terms on
which the latter road should be permitted
to use the tracks of the Birmingham South
ern railroad, now the property of the first
two roads.
This report revived the old talk of the
Mobile and Ohio getting into Birmingham.
which has kept the railroad world guessing
for years past. So long, in fact, that 1t is
still received with doubt.
However it is stated as a positive fact
that one Of the agreements which the Ten
nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company
made with the Southern and the Louisville
and Nashville when these two roads bought
the Birmingham Southern from the Ten
nessee company was that they should per-
NIT the Mobile and Ohio and some other
roads to use the Birmingham Southern
tracks in getting their terminal facilities
into Birmingham. Il this is the case, it IS
only a matter of time when the arrange
ments shall have been completed. and the
Mobile and Chic will be running into Biz
minglram.
1t is thought possible that this road will
make traffic arrane eanents with the South
ern or the Louisville and Nashville, or the
Alabama Great Southern from Blocton 10
BesseIner, and in that neighhorhood connect
with the Birmingham Southern. The rental
for such a privilege, it is said would per-
haps be less than the interest OH bonds nee
essary to build track of its own between
Blocton and Bessemer.

Figures In Habeas Corpus Proceed
ings

The habeas corpus proceedings for the
possession of a 6-year-old child which was
brought by Sheriff w. e. Haynes of
Lowndes county against the Combs family
of Gate City did not come up yesterday
before Judge Coleman in the circuit court,
the matter having been amicably settled
by the surrender of the child to Sheriff
Haynes. VINO was a cousin of it's mother,
who died about a week ago 1t was claimed
by the Combs family that the mother con-
signed the little one to their keeping on her
deathbed. When demand was made upon
them for the child they at first refused to
give her up, but after a writ of habeas
corpus was sued out against them they de-
cided to turn the child over to her relative.
Sheriff Haynes left for his home yester-
day afternoon with the little orphan, who
will find a good home with the kind-hearted
man.

BRADSTREET'S REPORT
On the Birmingham District for the
Past Week

The following is the report of the Brad
street agency for tne Birmingham district
during the asst week:
Iron stocks continue depleted, and the
only serious feature that confronts pro-
ducers is the lack OF furnace capacity.
Orders have already been booked a good
advances for the output of iron until the
end of the year. Tersely summing up the
situation, conditions are the most propi-
tious yet reached.
General rains, while having some effect
on retail trade, have been of vast benefit
to agriculture, and consequently the crop
outlook is much improved.
Building is exceptionally active for sum-
mer, and would be more so were it not for
holding off ON account Of high prices. Con-
dticns among wholesalers are very salts

FAIR ASSUMES
DEFINITE SHAPE
Lawyers Say the Governor Can
Make Appropriation
OUT OF CONTINGENT FUND
Committee Will At Once Begin Solicit
ing ---Subscriptions for Stock
Meeting of Leading Farmers
Will Be Held Here

The state fair movement wfrich has been
taken up by the Commercial Club and the
Board of Trade is assuming definite shape.
and from present indications will be fairly
launched within the next ten days
Yesterday two of the leading attorneys
of the city rendered an opinion upon the
right of the governor to make an appropria-
ton for the fair, out of the contingent
fund at his hand, and both held that such
an appropriation would be proper under the
law. 1t will be remembered that several
days ago u committee waited ON the COVER
nor in regard to an appropriation and that
he was favoaaRe to the movement, the
only question being raised was his right
to make the appropriation.
asnni..t,es restis Encouraged
The opinion of these two attorneys has
greatly encouraged the committees which
have met with much encouragement in
other quarters and has warranted them in
authorizing J. A. Rountree to invite fifty
of the leading farmers of the state to as
semble in Birmingham at the Commercial
Club rooms on August to take preliminary
steps to promote organization.
The several subcommittee will start out
this morning to solicit subscriptions of
stock and it is confidently expected that
fully $4,000 of the necessary amount will
be in sight before the meeting next week.
With appropriations from the state,
county and city the fair will be placed on
an absolutely safe footing, and there is lit
tie reason to believe that the appropria-
lions will not be made.

trict; and merchants are up in open rebel
lion One of the largest owners of business
property has done little more than restore
the rents to the figures they were reduced
from year ago in view of the duh trade
then existing. This is notable probably
solitary exception to the demands for big
increases.
In the residential districts houses that
now bring $l5 month are held for $40 after
the first of October. A $50 house of today
will be $50 or $35 house after the last day
of September.

whirrawed by Rental Agents

ed through several years OF business de-
preston.
Whirxawed by Rental Agents
1t was charged that tho merchants are
being whip-sawed by certain rental agents,
who claim to have prospective tenants at
big advances. in an effort to force the pres
ent occupants of business property to sign
up new leases. 1t was suggested that the
merchants whose leases expire in october
have the situation in their own hands. and
if there could be some concert of action
among them that "extortion" could be pre-
vented.
While the discussion was confined prin-
cipelly to business property, the advance in
rents for residences was also brought up
and severely condemned as being detri-
mental to the city in many ways. Some
interesting statistics were used to show
that at present rentals the landlords were
receiving a liberal percentage on their in
vestments.
In view of. the fact that only a limited
number of persons had been notified of the
meeting. 1t was decided to call a general
meeting of all interested merchants and
renters for Monday night, when some plan
of action will be adopted.
There is Widespread Objection
There is undoubtedly widespread obiec-
ton to and resentment against the pro-
posed Increases in rents in Birmingham
Virtually every person whose rent lease
will expire the coming autumn has re-
ceived notice of a raise in rent. The in
creases range from ten to one hundred per
cent and in many cases bitter objection
is made
One merchant in First avenue, who has
been paying 500 for modest quarters, re-
ceived notice of an increase of $40 a
month, of 40 per cent. He refused outright
to ray it, and began to perfect arrange
ments for removing his business to Besse-
mer. Some arrangement was agreed upon
and the merchant remains. 1t is alleged
that his sales do not exceed SIS, 900 a year.
man doing business in a building in
Nineteenth street is paying $50. Word has
been sent to him that after October l the
rent will be $1z5. Another business man in
the same street has been served with notice
that his rent will be- doubled.
In Second avenue % merchant paying a
rent of $50 a month is asked to pay 500. In
Twentieth street a $40 rental has been
raised to SO.
And so goes the story of the business dis
