SAYS LONDON IS RIGHT.

Mir J. B. Cobbs-I think MT. London is right in the statement he has made. He Is a business man; he has investigated the subject and he has shown splendid nerve in telling the conditions as he found them. l endorse his views very heartily. 1t is now time when business men must see that offices are filled with men whose sole object is not personal gain. Like most other business men I do not like to become mixed in political affairs, but l know that my own efforts will be benefited. as will those of all business men. if I will with them put my shoulder to the wheel and fight for honesty and purity of ballot and purpose

Interviews With Mayor Drennen, Van Hoose Ullman and Other Repre- sentative Citizens-Expres,

The card of Mir Alex T. London, the prominent lawyer, which appeared in the Age-Herald of Saturday, and MT. Lon don's address at Temple Emanuel Sun day night, have been more earnestly dis cussed, 1t Is believed than any recent utterances relating to local conditions.
 In his card to the Age-Herald Mir. Lon don sought to impress upon the public that the county had ample means, If they were but rightly used. to put our schools in high state of efficiency and maintain them. MT. London discussed several important things in the economy of Jefferson that needed reforming, and among other pregnant remarks in his card was this: Tt is generally believed, though I do not assert it as a fact, be- cause have not the figures before me, that four of the officials of this county receive in the aggregate annually, in sal aries and fees, fifty thousand dollars; more than three times what the pubic schools receive.
 In business and social circles MT. Lon don's agitation has been strongly com mended

MAYOR DRENNEN's VIEWS

Dr. Wyatt Heflin-I most heartily en- dorse the views of MT. London. I think they are very pertinent at this time.
The age-herald., 1902-03-04

Mayor w. M. Drennen-Referring to that part of the card of Mir London which has reference to fee systems, will say the city of Birmingham employees are paid salaries tipulated-amounts named by the Board of Aldermen. Sev- eral years ago some officials received small salaries with fees attached. After some time this system was abolished. But during the hard times of the panic when MT. VanHoose was Mayor several of ficers were again so placed as part of their compensation came as fees. 1 am not positive to whom they were but after trial 1t was found they made more than they had formerly made while time: l were good So the fee system was agaii abolished. Since which time city official have been paid stipulated salaries. 1 an not thoroughly enough familiar with tn affairs of the county and the fee sys tenn in vogue with county officials to sa, intelligently whether it would be bette to abolish the fee system or not. As fai as what is said about the purity of bal lots, I heartily endorse what is stated I have always favored fair elections fol all city county and state officers.

CITY OF CRIME.

Samuel Ullman-I heartily endorse all that MT. Alex T. London said in his card in The Age-Herald of last Saturday and in his address at Temple Emanuel Sunday night, and in so doing l would call upon our best element not only to think well on the situation as viewed by this prom inent citizen but to support him in his effort to create a better citizenship and to help the public schools.
 The movement that MT. London has started should certainly arouse public interest We must have active and en- thusiastic work In the direction pointed out by MT. London
 MT London sees that our politicians have lost sight of the disproportion of county funds and school appropriations He sees that our politicians care little for education.
 Accepting the statements as outlined by MT. Londons card as correct, 1t be- hooves the best citizens of Birmingham to wake up and set to work to purify the political machinery of Jefferson county.
 Birmingham Is advertised all over the country as city of crime. This com munity will grow from bad to worse i'll this matter of crime unless our good peo- pie become aroused and organize to rem edy the evils discussed by MT. London.

A GREAT SERVICE.

Emil Lesser-I think MT. London has done a great public service. Every right minded citizen agrees with him, I am sure, but 1t takes man of MT. Londons s ability, pluck and standing in the commu nity to lead in the agitation for a better condition of affairs touching county pol tiles and our Birmingham schools. If MT. London will only continue the aglta- ton for reform 1t will be a blessed thing for Birmingham.

Petition for Pardon Of ]. W. Clark, Con
victed of Felony.
To Governor A. Il. Longino !:

To Governor A. I'll. LOngino:
At the Nav term 1898. of the circuit
court of the first judicial district of the
county of Perry, J. w. Clark was tried
and convicted on charge OF robbery,
and was sentenced to serve ten years in
the state penitentiary, to which he was
carried few days thereafter, and that
he has been in the said penitentiary
continually since that time.
AT the time Of said conviction saiS
Clark was only twenty-three years old,
in good health, but that soon after his
confinement in the penitentiary his
health gave way and has since that time
continually TO the present time been
very bad and that he is not able to do
much work; and that heis also'ruptured
and in the year 1900 he had very hard
spell of typhoid pneumonia, from which
he has never sufficiently recovered to be
able to do manual labor, and he has
very little hopes of ever regaining his
health while he is confined.
During all the time he has been serv
ing under said sentence, he has never
caused any trouble to the persons having
charge of him. but on the other hand he
has always been obedient, in the com
pliance with the commands and require
ments of those in whose charge he has
been.
We, therefore, believing that the ends
of justice have been fully met in his
case, and owing to the impaired condi-
ton of his health, together with the fact
that he has never given any trouble,
respectfully petition that he be granted
a full pardon.
Very respectfully yours,
(Signatures.)

THE AFTERNOON NEWSPAPERS.
Louisville Post.


The afternoon newspaper is the
paper the people read. 1t goes to
the home to be read around the
fireside by every member OF the
family.
Each season marks the growth
of the afternoon newspaper. In
Louisville, as in Cincinnati, Ih-
dianapolis, Columbus, Chicago,
st Louis and Nashville, the after
noon newspapers have the cir
culation and the advertising, and
spend the money.
This is especially true at st.
Louis and indianapolis, where the
local advertisers have simply
taken possession of the afternoon
newspapers, which, not once a
week, but two or three times a
week, appear with seventy five,
eighty five, min ty or one hundred
columns of advertising.
This is in accordance with the
laws of commercial development.
The man of business, with d great
plant and a large stock, cannot
afford to have dull days any more
than he can afford to have dull
seasons. He must make each day
count, and he must push his bust
ness if he does DIT wish to have
hi, business push him. So TO get
in touch with the buying public,
to let the shoppers of the CITY and
state know what be has for sale,
he must more and more use the
columns of the afternoon news,
papers. Thus it is that not here
alone, but all over the country, the
J afternoon newspaper goes for
. ward. while the morning compila-
+, ton stands still or goes back.

Body in a We'll.

The Brownsville special of oath
inst, says: Late this afternoon
dead body was found in a well on
the Bullifin field just south of the
depot. Col. ]. w. Brown, while
walking over this field, espied a
figure in the we'll, which is on the
division line. Close examination
failed to reveal It's identity; the
body was badly decayed and only
fragments OF flesh and cloth re-
manned. The crowd of people who
went to the scene we're undecided if
the body was that of a man or wo-
man. There were indications that
the body had been burned. No
house is in the grove, which had
been used by negroes as a picnic
ground. Indications, however, point
to the victim being white. The
well was used last summer. 1t is
sixty feet deep. Rising water SEEM

raw of artists seldom seen under the
management of one man, will ap-
pear at the Walkers Opera house,
Wednesday, April 2. In the selec-

their ovations in the principal
amusement temples OF Europe, as
we'll as corps of we'll known
American minstrel performers,
whose appearance on this occasion
is sufficient guarantee OF the high
character and wholesomeness OF the
entertainment. We mention among
the principals, Sam Horner, Dla--
mond Bros, e. w. Chapman, Jas.
Nugent, Sam Drane, Lew Diamond
and Gus Sun, assisted by singers,
dancers, musicians and supernumer-
aries. Special scenery, something
seldom carried by minstrel show,
and mechanical effects are used by
this company in conjunction with
the big song and dance and the
finale. In coupling the company
for the road Mr.. Sun has gone to an
enormous expense, the special Pull

THE CONCERT.

The Dixie Bellies Concert Compa-
ny were welcomed by a very small
audience at the opera house last
Tuesday night. However, quite a
number of local musicians were
there and those who appreciate
good talent. From an artists point
of view. it was prominently the
best of Manager Woosley's book
ings for the season, not even eX-
cepting the Taylor lecture. The
first part of the program was good
good enough, indeed, though differ
ing from the bill, but not half so
interesting DIS part two. Miss Dob
son, the pianist, was pleasing in
her selections, especially attractive
in her standings. LISTS Hunga-
rian Rhapsody was the favorite
piano number. There was consid-
cradle interest manifested over the
first appearances of Miss Mitchell
and Miss Taylor, but there was no
general bathurst of enthusiasm un-
til these ladies appeared in the sec
ond part.
Miss Mitchell's reading was from
the pen of John Trotwood Moore,
"Ole Mistis, - story of the darkey
boy and his association with the
famous Tennessee thoroughbred
race horse. This little lady is I'M
doubtedly master of her work. Her
manner is easy and natural, and
she draws with little difficulty upon
an abundant reserve force. The
story has within it the sensational
phases of a horse race, at the same
time carrying theme of human in
terest, and the incidents are pre-
scented with almost living reali-
ty. You can fairly see "Ole Mistis"
as she hugs the side of Lorraine,
and the sparkle of the little dar-
keys eyes upon her back, who is
following his masters instructions.
One mile, two, and the post is
cleared for the third. On goes Lo-
raine, "Ole Mistis" is a little be-
hind. Shall he give her rein? Not
yet! The last quarter is reached
and the boy raises the whip. II
will not hit ole Mistis'" and away
he filings the whip. But bending
over the horses neck, she catches
the inspiration of his words, and
forth sue darts like an arrow.
Again she is beside Lorraine and in
another instant she has won the
race. The story ends with the pa
thet1c death of the rider. After
this Miss Mitchell is no stranger to
the audience.
But another revelation was vet
to come. We hardly suspect there
was the anticipation of the marvel
Gus skill, depth and breadth of feel
ing which characterized Miss Tay-
lor's performance on the violin. 1t
was certainly a genuine treat.
The Gypsy Fantasia, by Sara
safe, was her last number, and
there is no doubt that the young la
dy assembled to the height of the
scale of artists in the estimation of
her auditors. We have heard Ysaye,
Remenj1 and many other great ar
fists, and must say, at least, we
don't know why we haven't heard
of MISS Taylor before.
The performance was closed with
"When Josia Plays the Fiddle" by
the entire company.
