Rev. J. d. Smith, who for the
past FIVE years has had the pastoral
care of the Baptist church and con-
gregation has rendered his resigna-
ton to take effect the first Sunday
in January 1908. Rev. Smith has
won a place in the hearts of not
only the members of his congrega-
tion, but of the people of town as
we'll. During his five years stay
here he has established a reputa-
ton as a profound and original
thinker and an eloquent and grace
full speaker. His departure from
our midst will be deeply regretted.

USE OF FALSE TEETH.
TWO Millions Manufactured Annually
In the United States.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Probably not less than 100000 arti-
fetal teeth are manufactured in this
country each year. and still the output
goes on increasing. Never before was
such great care manifested for teeth as
has been exhibited during the past five
years. In this respect Americans lead
the world, not even the fastidlous French
excelling the people of the United States
in their solieitude for the preservation
of natural teeth and in their application
of the arts of dental science when sub
stitutes have to be provided for natures
molars.
Englishmen are VIGOROUSLY careless
about their teeth, although in late years
great progress has been made In this
matter.
A prominent dentist of New York de-
clares that nearly every patient with a
mouthful of decayed teeth is foreigner.
They let things drift he says. land
come only when pain drives them here.
Americans, and especially southerners.
hasten to their dentist Immediately they
detect even the slightest signs of coming
trouble. and the result is that there are
by far more saved teeth in this country
than in any other. EnglIshmen and
Irishmen are remarkably apathetic
about their molars, and will go about for
years with hopelessy decayed teeth"

CAR TRANSFERS
TO BE ADJUSTED
PRESIDENT JEMIsoN SAYS THAT
WITHIN A FEW MONTHS THE
TRANSFER SYSTEM WILL BE
SATISFACTORY TO PATRONS.

President Robert Jemison. of the Biz
mingham Railway Light and Power
company said yesterday that as soon as
the company finished its new track work
in the city, which would be within the
next few months. It would readjust the
transfer system. Asked If he were ready
to make public any details of the
changes or readjustment that would be
made, the president said he was not, for
the reason that no details had yet been
considered. 1.-The public may be assured
of one thing. however" remarked Mr..
Jemison. and that is. the company will
make such changes as will satisfy every
body-I mean, every reasonable person.
The transfer system was inaugurated
on the 22d of last September. according
to general agreement made with the
city council. Mr.. Jemison said that as
the novelty had not worn off 1t was
impossible to say just what effect trans
fers would have on the revenues of the
company. The system, he said, was yet
In crude state. Hundreds of patrons
We're still ignorant Of the rules regulat-
ing transfers. They expected too much
for their money. And many patrons
abuse would be overcome in time Mr.
Jemison thought, and by next spring
there would be little room for complaint,
either on the part of the company or the
patrons of the line.

VIII Fight Order Of Police Com
mission
HAVE EMPLOYED COUNSEL
Claim That They Cannot be Removed
in Any Event Until January

License.

The bootblacks of Birmingham are de-
termined to fight tho oider of Chairman
Rudolph of the police commission NOV
ing them from their places in the alleys
and making them tear down the stands
which they have erected at costs vary
ing from $25 to $780, They have dubbed
together and employed Attorney A. o.
Lane to protect their interests and they
believe that 1t will be impossible for the
chief of police to move them until the
flrst of the year.
All the stands have licenses until the
first of the year and they claim these
will protect them. They are to consult
with their attorney today and a decision
will then be reached as to what future
course they will persue in the matter
The proprietor of one of the best stands
In the city said yesterday afternoon that
they did not see why they should be
moved when the fruit stands are allowed
to take up more of the pavements than
they take up of the alleys. He pointed
to the fact that there are posts In all
the alleys and that the stands do not
protrude beyond these posts. He said
they do not block the alleys any more
than these posts do. and that their stands
are therefore no more in the way than the
fruit stands.

RAISING MONEY
FOR The CHURCH
THIRD PRESBYTERIAN coNGRE.
CATION sUBscRIBEs OVER
5000 TOWARD LIQUIDATION OF
DEBT ON NEW EDIFlcE.

The Third Presbyterian church at the
corner of Avenue G and Twenty-second
street was attended by a large congrega-
ton yesterday morning and a feature ci
the service was an appeal by the pastor,
the Rev. ]. A. Bryan, for money to pay
off the debt on the building. The amount
due was s435O and toward the liquida ton
of this debt cash subscriptions amounting
to $1215 were made.
Mr.. Bryan was grateful for the contri-
buttons and said he hoped the amount
would be increased during the present
week.
The congregation of the Third church Is
made up of earnest workers and 1t is be-
lleved that they will soon see their new
house of worship clear of all incumber-
ances. The interior is yet to be finished
and after the present debt is paid money
will be needed for plastering.

Athletic Club TO Give Two
Performances
HAS MANY NEW STUNTS
1.-The Boy in tn Pink Pajamas Still Re-
mains a Mystery-A Novel
Feature Is the Bottle
\ Brigade.

, Two performances of the Birmingham
Athletic clubs fourth annual Society Cir
Gus Will be given today. the first at 2:s0
o'clock and Nthe second at BIS o'clock,
both at the Jefferson theatre. A large
number of tickets have been sold and 1t
is an assured fact that large audiences
will be present at both performances.
The proceeds from the circus will go
to the building fund of the Birmingham
Athletic association to be used in erecting
the new club house at the corner of
Twentieth street and Fifth avenue, just
next to the new building of the Southern
club.
The secrecy which has surrounded the
personality of the boy in the Pink
Jajamas" has added much to the interest
taken In the circus and many will be
present to satisfy their Curiosity on this
point. There will be quite a number of
Pajama Boys and the act will be an ORR
ginal and novel exhibition.
A novelty dance originated and taught
by Professor Weisner, will be another of
the features of the bill. 1t is something
different from anything ever put on by
the club In its circus and will make one
of the novelties of the bill. There are
about twenty in the dance.
Dedman, Blackman and Chalifoux, in a
musical comedy, will Introduce the battle
brigade, which differs from anything of
its kind on the stage in that each per-
former has bottle and there are about
rs performers. Musical bottles are familiar
to all who attend vaudeville shows, but
usually these are only two or three per-
formers and each has from to Is bot
ties to play.
The "spielers' and refreshment boys
will be out in larger numbers than ever
before and their work will be one of the
most attractive parts. L. Steinert, a
clarinet soloist who has been with several
of the largest bands in the country, will
be introduced to the Birmingham public
at the circus He has played in the large
bands since 1896, having been with Innes'
band. the Chicago Marine band, Castle
Square Opera company and this year he
was with LLberati.
The sparring contest will probably be
very interesting. 1t will be between Ken
dali and Lum. the latter having the best
of it in weight by nearly 100 pounds. Ken
dali hopes to equal things by his superior
ability to move around on his feet and his
science, he having taken boxing lessons
for a number of years.
In the acrobatic and gymnastic work
the team this year will be better than
that of last year. 1t includes Sam House,
Harry Miles, Ed Miles, Ed Spencer, Joe
Spencer, Hill Ferguson, Ed Chairsell
Ed Warren and others.
The Roman ladders have proven so pop
ular in the past that they will be put on
again this year.
