Mississippi Democrats have at
last come to the parting Of the
ways with the tricksters, bosses
and Office grabber clans. The
blow the voters of the state struck
with their ballots on the Dist, sent
terror to their hearts. The en-
dorsing of the convention by the
electing of the delegates put out,
Money, Longlno and Henry, who
denounced the action of the exc
cutive committee and the defeat
ing of Senator Sullivan who, with
McLaurin, endorsed it, showed
the state was tired of the dictatlon
of such men and opposed to the
committees order. This silent
hand-writings on Democraeys wall
should be enough to require the
resignation of the present execu-
tive committee without further
proceedings on the part of the
States Democracy.

So, 365.77. The report shows the
affairs of this staunch old Asso-
citation to be in truly gratifying
condition, and presages many
years more of usefulness.
The above report comes from a
little city on the Illinois Central
Railroad in North Mississippi,
whose population is not over 5000
people. From the day this asso-
citation was formed, some 10 years
ago until the present moment, it
has been q success, and those who
put money in for investment as
we'll as those who borrowed to
erect a home have been benefited.
Its benefit to the little city can
hardly he estimated when one
considers the number beautiful
homes it has erected, the business
1t has started and the money it has
saved in rents. Water Valley,
owing to the Central shops being
located there, can be termed a city
OF wage-earners, and this Building
& Loan Association has been the
means of starting many a man to
saving, that today has not only a
cozy little home paid for money
in the bank.
Unlike the foreign building and
loans that do business in our city
and others in the State, with their
magnificent and costly Offices and
high sal.riod officers and directors,
thus association has no costly
buildings and does not pay out
over $50 monthly to all its officers,
but allows every shareholder to !
leap his share of the monthly |
profits that accrue: on his stock. |
The result of such a policy is that
it pay out in from ito 1-2 years.
Such association Greenville needs
for the rents of houses today in the
city are out of proportion to their
cost. 1t would also enable many
D merchant or salesman who eOHld
not afford to take money enough
out of his business to build a home
by paying for it monthly.

AN OLD EDITOR
Found $1,000 Worth of Food.

w. S. Gilman, editor of the Capitol II
South McAlester, l. T., said: Yes, Il Is
true when I got hold of Grape-Nuts food,
it was worth more than 5000 doctor bill
to me- for it made me a well man. have
gained 25 pounds in weight, my strength
has returned tenfold, my brain power has
been given back to me- and that is an alb
solute essential for I am an editor and
have been for thirty-five years.
my pen shall always be ready to speak
a good word for this powerful nutritive
food. l had of course often read the adj
vertisements regarding Grape-Nuts, but
never thought to apply the food to my own
use, until, in my extremity and sickness,
the thought came to me that it might fit
my case. The statements in regard to food
are absolutely correct, as l have proven
in my own case. One very fortunate thing
about the food is that while it is the most
scientifically made and highly nourishing
concentrated food have ever known, it has
SO delicious taste that it wins and holds
friends"

SUPPLY Or COAL
FOR NEW ORLEANS
Nearly Two Hundred Thousand
Tons of Coal Contracted for
Shipment to That City,

Contracts have been made for one hum
bred and fifty thousand tons of coal from
the Birmingham District for New Orleans
consumption to be shipped from the Jeffer-
son and Walker County mines over the
Southern Railway to Greenville and thence
via the barge line down the Mississippi
river.
The contracting firm is B. D. Wood &
Son. Mr. Elmer E. Wood of the firm was
in Birmingham yesterday. The coal con-
tracted for IS furnished by the Virginia
and Alabama, the Sloss Company, the
Southern Coal Company through the Ala
bama Block Coal Company.
Besides this sale the Pittsburg coal peo-
pie who have been supplying the New Or
leans market have found themselves short
in fulfilling their contracts and yesterday
thy came into the Birmingha market and
contracted for sufficient District coal to
fill out their booked orders. They took
twenty thousand tons from the Tennessee
Company to be shipped by rail and twenty
thousand tons from the Alabama Block to
be barged from Greenville, Miss.
New Orleans and it's territory is a mar
ket for million and half tons of coal an
nually. Up to last year all this supply
was barged down from Pittsburg. This
year the Birmingham coal fields will fur
nish 10000 tons of the total consumption
of the New Orleans market. Next year
indications point to the doubling of this
amount.
In speaking of the New Orleans market
last evening Mr.. !ood said: There was
at first a prejudice against Alabama coal.
That Is rapidly passing. Today we are
furnishing the Southern Pacific and the
Texas Pacific Railroads their complete sup
ply out of New Orleans Likewise many
of the New Orleans consumers are using

TO BUILD CITY HALL
MAIN QUESTION
To Come Before the City Council
Tonight.
THE MAYOR ON GITYS CREDIT
Says There Will be No Trouble About
Money-Council Unanimously in
Favor of Great Enterprise
Three School Buildings

The City Council will meet tonight in reg
ular session, and it now seems almost GER
tain that an ordinance will be passed au-
thorizing the building of new city hall
and three public school buildings
1t is said that not an Alderman on the
board is opposed to the erection of a new
city ham, and the only difference of opin-
ion is as to the method of building 1t and
the kind of building needed.
Alderman Altman is in favor of erecting
large building with stores underneath and
offices in the upper stories for rent. By this
method he wants to make the building pay
rent and save the city the payment of a
large amount of annual interest.
Mayor Drennen feels certain that the new
city building will be under course of erec-
ton within a short time, and has issued
orders to Market Clerk Curran not to rent
any stalls after October 1 While discussing
the matter Mayor Bremen said:
AS to the money necessary to do the
work I anticipate no trouble whatever.
When the city can at present get money at
per cent on its credit alone, with $50, 900
additional income added to its credit, there
will certainly be no difficulties in the way
of us getting much money as is required
to build handsome city hall. The judiciary
committee will be asked tomorrow night
to make report on the matter, and 1 can
see no reason why the ordinance should not
be put right through"
The Mayor left town yesterday afternoon
for Blount Springs, where he spent the
night.
There are several matters to come up to-
night, but the city hall discussion is the
main topic of discussion, and this will prob
ably be the chief question passed upon.
Street Commissioner McCartin and City
Engineer Hendricks have returned from
Milwaukee, where they attended the meet
ing of the League of Municipal Improve
ments. They said some matters of great
interest were discussed and they discov-
cred that Birmingham was not very far
behind the leading municipalities in the
matter of Improvements. Mr.. McCartin
said that ii majority of the cities were ex-
periencing trouble in the matter of remov-
ing garbage. He said there were few of the
cities which had perfected crema tories, and
the dumping of garbage was a perplexing
question.

FOLLOWED BY PIOUS FATHER
Ollie Brake and Miss Matte Shaw of

Where They Were Arrested
Occupying Same Room

broken hearted wife, a home wrecked
be taken back under the fostering care of
her father, is the sequel to the sad
capade of Ollie Brake and Miss Matte
Shaw of Warrior.
Mr.. Brake is a married man and left
his wife and child to elope with the 10
year-old daughter of Reverend Shaw, who
is one of his neighbors in Warrior, small
town twenty-three miles north of Birming-
ham,
Miss Shaw was missed from home Mon
day, and her father, who had seen her
frequently with Brake, suspected some
thing was wrong. The man had been seen
driving out of the town in double turn
out during the day, and the minister, fear
ing that elopment had been planned with
his young daughter Immediately telegraph
ed the police authorities OF Birmingham to
look out for the couple in case they came
to this city.
Police Captain Weir received the mes
sage Monday night and Informed his
men to keep a watch for the runaway cou-
pie. About o'clock yesterday morning
in company with Sergeant Oldham, Cap
tain Weir located Brake and Miss Shaw at
one of the local hotels. They had regis
tered as nan and wife under an assumed
name and were occupying the same room
when notified by the officers that they were
wanted at the police station They were
placed under arrest and the father was
Immediately notified. He came the first
train and promptly had warrant issued
for both Brake and his daughter, charg-
ing them with living in adultery.
The couple were arraigned before Justice
Benners and placed under bond of $500
which both succeeded in making. 1t was
an affecting scene when the old minister
first met his daughter after her departure
from home. She sat with dropping eyes
and after fully realizing her terrible plight
consented to return home and promised to
be a more dutiful daughter. The Reverend
Shaw left for home, accompanied by the
girl, on "a late train yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Brake made bond and left the court

is yet unknown.

THE NORRIS HOTEL
AND Mr.. SCALLY
The ui|ding Will be Completely
Renovated and There viii
be Structural Changes.

NJ J. Scally the new Lessee of the Morris
Hotel has arrived in the city, and will soon
take charge of this popular stopping place.
Though the changes will be gradual, Mr.
Scally expects by the end of twelve months
to have the Morris present an entirely diff
ferent interior appearance. He is accom-
panied by two experienced elevator men
who will make a thorough examination of
the elevators now used in the building Mr..
Scally says the entire machinery of these
elevators i'll be changed, and If necessary
new ones will be purchased
The hotel will be renovated throughout,
new carpets will be laid, the paint brush
will be applied literally inside and out, and
the ground floor of the building will be
differently arranged 1t is the intention of
the new proprietor to run the present lob
by entirely through the building, so that
an entrance can be made in Morris avenue.
Mr.. Scally states that this will be a great
convenience to the travelling public. These
changes will be made gradually SO that it
will in no way interfere with the business
of the hotel.
Mr. Scally has already made many ac-
quaintances in Birmingham, and as he
comes recommended by the press in high
est terms his popularity will no doubt
grow He is a man of striking appearance
and his manner of conversation is decid-
eddy pleasing. He said last night that he
has come to Birmingham to live, and
wants to be one of its people. AS to the
employees of the hotel, Mr.. Scally said he
would make no changes as long as the
men desired to stay with him and their
services were satisfactory.
The Morris has been leased by Mr. Scally
for five years with the privilege of renew
ing at the expiration of that time. He says
ii it becomes necessary to accommodate the
patronage, the owners of the property have
consented to add another story to the
present building.
Mr.. Scally comes from New Orleans
where he has been connected with the
Cosmopolitan Hotel of that city. He hao
had considerable experience with hotels in
the East and is well known to the travelling
public throughout the United States.
