REGISTRATION LIGHT
Only 1900 Voters in the City Have
 Qualified

Registration for the state and national elections is exceedingly light, and unless a much greater number of voters qualify between now and Saturday night than have already done so the vote in the Au- gust and November elections will be very small.
 The number of voters who had register ed up to last night did not exceed 1,3G0 for the two Birmingham beats. There are fully 5000 voters in the city, more than six times the number who had qualified.
 The registration books close next Satur- day night, and there should be no further delay on the part of democrats in quail flying for the elections.
 Of the 1900 voters who had registered up to last night only about 125 are negroes.

The above Associated Press dispatch confirms the rumors that have been in cir culation here for several days to the effect | that General Manager Metcalf would re- l sign and that his successor would be Su- perintendent Newbold of the South and | North division. with headquarters in this city.
 | While MT. Newbold's appointment has | not yet been announced. the press dispatch 1 leaves little doubt but that it will be made l within the next few days.
 MT. Newbold has been superintendent of | the South and North division of the Louis- vile and Nashville and of the Birmingham | Mineral branch of the same road since 1889, l and during that time the friendliest rela- | tions have existed between him and the
 men under his supervision. He came to Birmingham eleven years ago from the St. Louis division of the Louisville and Nash vile, where he had been assistant super
 intendent He has demonstrated by his
 management of the South and North diyis-
 ion and Birmingham Mineral branch his
 eminent fitness for the managerial position
 in large railroad interests. He has been
 with the Louisville and Nashville for long period of years, and has seen it expand and develop into one of the greatest railroad systems in the country and is familiar with it's business and its interests.
 The question of MT NewboldS s successor at this place is yet to be settled. James l..
 Welch, who has been assistant superintend-
 ent of the South and North and Birming-
 ham Mineral branch the past two years, is
 in line of promotion, and his friends here
 would like to see him get the superintend- ency. He has been in the service of the Louisville and Nashville for a long time, and is a splendid railroad man.
