RESULT IF NED BRACES WORK IndianaPrOduce House Interested mobilization of Strawberries SEND MAN ID INVESTIGATE Plan Is to Buy Large Tract of Land and Give 1t to Farmers Who
 Will Raise the. Luclous
 Berry.
SEND MAN ID INVESTIGATE

One of the good things resulting from the trip of Ned Brace" over the state writing up cities and towns in the Age Herald came to light yesterday. Some time ago he visited York and devoted con- siderable space to a gentleman there who realized s3OO0 annually on his strawberry crop. This article will probably mean many thousands of dollars to York and vicinity.
 MT. T. " Boardman of Birmingham, who was travelling in that section recent ly became engaged in conversation with a travelling man while on the train. Dur ing the conversation the travelling man mentioned the fact that he was the agent for large Indianapolis produce house and that he had just come from Florida where the company owned several thou sand acres planted In cabbage.
 Mr. Boardman showed him the Med Brace" article on strawberries in and around York and called his attention to this one mans large crop. The travelling man replied that his house made a spe- cialty of strawberries and that he was then en route to Mississippi to purchase a quantity.
 The traveling man asked MT. Board- man to send his house number of the papers containing the article, which was done when MT. Boardman returned to Birmingham. He received a letter from the travelling man dated Meridian, Miss, which stated the house had Acknowledged receipt of the papers and had sent man South to purchase large tracts of land to be devoted to the cultivation of strawberries. He said the plan of the house was to get several hundred acres and divide it into 20-acre lots. These would be given to men, provided they cul- tivated strawberries, and the house would agree to purchase the entire output at standard wholesale prices.

Birmingham Railway, Light &
 Power Co.'s Proposition
ELEVATED TRACKS NEEDED
How the East Lake Line Could Come ,Across the L. & N. and Southern at Sioss Furnaces With
 out Interruption.

The increased railroad traffic across First avenue at the Sloss furnace makes it desirable that trestle should be built over the tracks for the East Lake trolley cars. The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company has asked the three railroad companies whose trains ply back and forth on the tracks-the Louisville and Nashville, the Southern and the Alabama Great Scuthern-for confer ence for the purpose of discussing the feasibility of constructing such a trestle. The companies have not as yet had time to respond to the request but iteis probable that representatives of the railroads will meet the street car officials within the next few weeks.
 As an engineering proposition the build nor would the work be very expensive. While no plans have been drawn, the Idea of the Railway, Light and Power Com pany officials Is that the trestle should cover three blocks, from Twenty-seventh street to Thirteeth street, and that its highest point of elevation should be about g feet. This would give a grade of as cent of about per cent, or per cent less than the grade up Pearson Hill on South Twentieth street.
 Thus the construction of a trestle would seem to be entirely practicable, and there Is no question about the fact that 8 trestle would greatly facilitate the movement of the trolley cars along that part of the line, to say nothing of mini mizing the danger to the lives of passen- gers. The Railway, Light and Power Company uses extreme caution in cross ing the tracks, but there is nothing like bridging them.
 The trestle could be built, 1t Is thought, for $20,000.

Summer Homes In the Mountains.

Undoubtedly the most invigoratlng and healthful region in which to spend the heated term is among the resorts along the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in the Mountains of the Vir- ginias. These resorts vary in attitude from 1900 to 250o feet. and are celebrated for grand and picturesque surroundings, variety of mineral waters. and an exhil- erating climate with mildly warm days and cool, refreshing nights, producing an energy and buoyancy which bespeaks health and promotes enjoyment. There are over 300 Summer Homes in the moun- tains and on the Seashore reached by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, varying in rates and character to suit those of very moderate means, who seek rest only and those also who desire gaiety and social life. For booklet descriptive of these resorts and giving directory of managers and proprietors, apply at the city ticket offices of the Louisville and Nashville and Queen and Crescent routes or address.

LOCAL OFFICERS JOYOUS.
Members of the Third Regiment Glad Harmony Will Once Again Rule.

The local officers of the Third Regi- ment are delighted at the turn the affairs of the regiment have taken. While they regret that the ticket which they have agreed to support does not have on 1t the name of a local officer, they are pleased that the regiment will become settled once again anl no more strife will excite them.
 The only statement any of the officers will make is that the ticket nominated q few days ago and submitted to Governor Jelks will be supported by each and every man, and It's election is assured. This they say means harmony, and all they want is what is expressed by that one word.
 In voicing the sentiment of many Colone, Higdon said
 There is no doubt but that the ticket named will be carried. It gave us all pleasure for the Governor to call the election. The officers of this battalion regret that no major was given them, but will support the ticket named just the same. All I or any of the local officers have ever fought for was harmony, and new that we are to have it we are over- joyed."

ID HAVE FINGER
 IN POLITICAL PIE Board of Trade Will Take Part
 in City Affairs COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED Which Will Have Charge of This End of the Boards Work-WilI
 Have Candidates for
 Aldermen.
COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED

From present indications it looks as if the Board of Trade intends having very large finger in the political pie which is to be cut in about a year. The mer- chants who compose the board feel that they are getting less recognition from the city than any other class and they are determined to get legislation passed which they intend will benefit them and the city at the same time.
 The appointment of a committee of five yesterday by MT. Colman Blach, presi- dent of the board. is the second step. The first was the motion Wednesday to have such a committee appointed. Active work Is to be commenced at once and President Blach has picked men whom he believes will take great interest in the matter
 The committee Is composed of MT. Ferd Marx, MT. T. V. Boardman. MT. J. A. VanHoose, MT. J. H. Roll and MT. J. M Dewberry. The committee will have a meeting soon and elect chairman.
 The object of the Boaro of Trade is to have several candidates in the next election for aldermen and to unite with other bodies in the city and elect them. These men will be in thorough sympathy with the wants of the Board of Trade and will support them in every way pos sible.
 The club also proposes to take part In the election of the mayor and other city officials It is probable they will support some man for mayor. The lines along which the work is to be carried on have not been laid down but the committee will meet soon and outline a plan of action.
 The Board of Trade will meet not only with the support of all It's members, but 1t is said nearly every merchant in the city will aid them.

.Recoyd of CoHrtS.

Tn the Circuit Court Thomas R. La vine has filed suit for S500O damages against George E. Gowin, charging false arrest and prosecution. The suit is the result of Lavine being arrested in Mont gomery some time ago, horse stealing being charged. His trial took place a few days ago and he was acquitted.
 It was charged that Gowin. who con- ducts a stable in Bessemer, allowed La vine to take a horse out for raffle. La vine left Bessemer with the animal and was arrested. In his defense of the suit he claimed no limitations were made as to where the horse should be taken for the tickets to be sold.
 In the same court the case of Pearl OBryan, administratrix of the ectate of the deceased J. o. Bryan, against the Southern Railway Company for $10,O0C damages, is on trial. She claims the de- ceased was working as an engineer on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad when his engine and a Southern Railway engine collided at North Birmingham. on March 2, 1897. MT. Bryan was scalded to death in the accident.
 In the City Court the case of Johnson vs. the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company is on trial, and will probably not reach the jury until this afternoon.

 IN CIRCULATION
WORKING SEVERAL DIFFERENT ENDS TO GET TRAIN FROM SEL- MA-cHAIRMAN BoARDMAN FIX PLAINS THE ADVANTAGES.

The movement to get a through train from Selma to Birmingham via Akron is being carried on in several ways. Yes terday MT. T. " Boardman, chairman of the committee, started petition among the merchants of Birmingham and today 1t will be sent to all the wholesale deal- CTS on Morris avenue
 Another petition is headed by the pro- prietors of several of the hotels. This will be rent to all the retail dealers. the bank CTS and others. The petition is as fol- lows
 We, the undersigned, do hereby peti- ticn the Southern Railroad Company for a through passenger train service from Selma by way of Marion, Greensboro and ArlSon in to Birmingham, so that the people living along this route may reach and return from Birmingham without a change or stopover.
 Tn presenting this petition to you 1t is our belief it will be a great benefit to Birmingham and vicinity, as well as to all the towns and villages along this route between Selma and Arkon, thereby put ting Birmingham in close communication with one of the most thickly settled and most prosperous portion of country in this state.
 Tt has been a long-felt want, and will greatly promote the interests of Birming- ham as a commercial and financial cen ter, and also the interests of the farmers and merchants Of that section as shippers of fruits produce and dairy products, with which that section abounds."
 Mir. Boardman said last night that re- gently he travelled over this section of the country and that 1t contained as fine orchards and truck and dairy farms as are to be found anywhere. He says there is no outlet for the products and that if this train could be run into Birmng- ham the section through which it comes would be greatly benefited by being able to send its products to Birmingham and through Birmingham reach the northern markets.
