TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE
Where 4 Great Deal Of the Saving Claimed
BY the Democrats has Come from-Re.
publican officials Responsible.

Seven United States prisoners are
now confined in the county Jail for the
keeping OF which the government pays
to tine county IS cents per day for each
prisoner thereby making the jail at pres
ent not only self supporting but profit
able boarding house. This money had
always been retained by the sheriff until
Auditor Stookey requested an opinion
Of Couty Attorney Johnson which. when
given. required this money to be turned
into the county treasury thus saving
hundreds Of dollars to the county and
establishing a precedent which means
thousands of dollars.
Prior to Mr.. S,ookey's administra ration
virtually no money was turned into the
county by the auditors Office and he
sides this the county paid $l8oo year
for deputy hire. Since Mr.. Stookey took
charge the same has been self supporting
and lie has in addition thereto turned
over $1,000 TO the equity. A record book
is now kept which gives every tax payer
an opportunity to tell at a glance the rx-
act cost Of each Office during the year
and tax payers should investigate for
themselves.
Several thousand dollars has been
saved by County Attorney Johnson in
filing criminal cases before the probate
court, salaried officer. and by opinions
given by him as to fees allowed justices
aud constahles.
In 1898 democratic board Of ounty
commissioners allowed the rail road com.
pany to use wagon road. below its track
where it was dangerous to travel. The
present board directed Mr. johnson to
take this matter up with the rail road
company and he collected $Iooo from
the company to build road whsre il was
safe.
Attorney General Martin gave an
opinion to the county commissioners ,fa,
extradition charges be paid by the county
and not the state. Mr.. johnson advised
the board that such charges are mol
county but state charges and carried the
matter into the supreme court which helt
that it was q state aud not county
charge. Thus establishing preceden
which saves counties any such charges il
the future.
i These are only q few instances of saw
ing by republican officers and man,
opinions have been given by County At
torney johnson which have and will saw
thousands of dollars to the county.

Birmingham Men Return from
Savannah Meeting
SHOWN MUCH HOSPITALITY
Made Good Record Considering Their
Lack of Practice-Determin-
mined to Have a Range
Near the City.

The team of fire, consisting Of Sergeant
Wheelock. Privates Fellows, Mitchell.
Bonner and E. o. Ellis, from the Jeffer-
son Volunteers. which attended the in
terstate shoot at Savannah last week.
returned to the city yesterday morning
In great spirits from their trip. They
tell big tales Of the shooting on the Avon
dale range.
The Birmingham men were not able to
land in any of the prizes as a team, but
Sergeant Wheelock was a member of
the Alabama team which won third prize
on the next to last day. The team. how
ever. did good shooting, and their scores
show well in comparison with those OF
other teams which have had much more
practice on the ranges.
Considering that The Birmingham team
had only had two weeks practice at the
targets, their shooting was something out
of the ordinary. The average of the team
for the four days was about so per cent,
which is considered an excellent score.
Met Good Shots.
The team met some of the best shots in
the United States one of the teams hav-
ing several men who have carried Off
trophies at Sea Girt. where the crack
shots of the National guard gather yearly
to contest for handsome prizes.
The hospitality of the Savannah mill
tary companies was notable. The Biz
mingham men state the trip made them
more determined than ever to have one
of the best rifle ranges in the south built
here so that when they have an inter-
state shoot next year. the Alabama
troops will not be behind in the scores.
The team has enthused the boys who
stayed at home and all are anxious to
have the range built and fully equipped
at once.
One of the members said;
I'VE had a better time than we ex-
pected and the Savannah boys did every
thing in their power to make our stay
as pleasant as possible. We did not show
up as well on the range as some of the
other teams, but considering the amount
of practice we had our shooting was
better than We had hoped.
Percentage Over 900. /
I'VE shot against some of the best
marksmen in the United States, and
that practically means the world. When
scores. the percentage of which is over
800, are made you can Judge of the class
of shooting. We fell only a short dis
lance in percentage behind the best and
are proud of our record.
More than anything else the trip show
ed us the necessity of a rife range in
Alabama where all the troops can come
and practice If this is impossible, then
it certainly is possible for the military
companies of Birmingham to have a
range which will be as good as any in
the south, The idea to get the chief Of
police and the sheriff of the county in
terested in the range was a good one
and will aid in our securing one that
will be a credit to the city.
We have nothing but praise for the
Savannah BOYS, and hope some time to
be able to rets.rn the kindness they show
ed US

DEMAND FOR SPOT IRON
is AS URGENT AS EVER

during the past week, for the reason that
large majority of the furnaces have
sold so far ahead that they do not care
to consider further business at this time.
On the other hand buyers who have not
placed their orders are content to wait
until conditions are more clearly defined.
Spot iron of soft grades can hardly be
obtained for early delivery. The supply
is very short. There is considerable iron
being imported and sold In the east, but
there has been very little as yet shipped
to the west. We hear of No. foundry
for early delivery being sold at $22 .25,
while No. l foundry and No. soft has
been sold as high as $2S Birmingham
basis.
Pittsburg-While general buying has
has not been as conspicuous this week
as earlier in the month, we have had
a very fair run of orders and considera-
BILE forward business in sight.
We can see hardening tendency in
prices all along the line, both for this
year and next, which has in no way been
affected by the tenders of foreign iron.
In fact the trade here does not take
kindly to the character of this form of
commercial invasion, and prefer, If pos
sible, to use irons which in a measure
are known.
The coke situation seems almost as bad
as ever and several valley stacks which
started up have only been able to run
in a half-hearted sort of way.

ARCHITECTS MEET
TO REVISE LAWS
BUILDING ORDINANCES ARE NOT
SATISFACTORY AND A CONFER
ENCE WITH MAYOR DRENNEN
WILL TAKE PLACE TODAY,

the architects of Birmingham will
meet in the office of Mayor Drennen in
the city hall this afternoon at 2:aO o'clock
for the purpose of considering a revision
of tho building ordinances of the city.
The present ordinances relating TO the
erection and construction of buildings in
Birmingham are inadequate and unsatis-
factory, and some means will probably
be devised at the meeting this afternoon
looking to the erection of only substan-
tial buildings in the city Birmingham
has practically the same building or
these. it seems. are not satisfactory. and
the architects will In their meeting to-
day endeavor to remedy whatever flaws
exist.
It Is probable that a committee will be
appointed this afternoon to draft an or
certain plans of corsti uction of buildings
in Birmingham, and this committee will
refer the proposed ordinance back to a
later meeting Of the architects, and II
approved by them, 1t will be presented
to the city council for adoption.
Under the present laws there is no pro-
vision compelling builders TO erect subs
stantial structures. and many, of the
buildings recently erected or now In the
course of construction are of fiimsy and
unsubstantia1 nature.

when her husband heard her scream.
Rushing into the room he found her a

evidently protected her face with her
arms. for It is not burned except slightly
about the lips and nose Her hair is sing
ed. but not entirely burned Off
It Is not known exactly how her clothes
caught on fire. as she has been unable to
give an account of 1t. but the SUPPOSE
ton is that she turned on the gas and
let It escape for few seconds before ap-
plying a match. It is thought she waited
too long and that the gas accumulated
and then burst out IN sheet of flame
when the match WAS lighted.
Another theory IS that Mrs. Kirkley
threw the match on the floor after light
ing the gas. and thinking it was out.
stepped over it and caught her dress.
The former Is considered the most plaus-
ible, as the gas in the stove was burning
very strongly sometime after the acct
dent
As soon as possible Mrs. Kirkley was
carried to the hospital, where soothing
lotions were applied.

cred at the armory In the city hall pre-
paratory to marching to the cemetery,
Capt. Hughes 3. Kennedy, adjutaift on
the staff of Lieutenant Colonel McCon-
nell, was presented with handsome
sabre by the members of The Jefferson
Volunteers. which company he has been
commander of several times, and from
which command he resigned a short time
ago.
A. M. CARRIER, recently a candidate for
attorney general made a short speech Of
presentation. After talking for few
minutes on the memorial services and
the reasons 1t was being held. he pre-
sented the sword to Captain Kennedy
with the love and esteem of comrades
in arms and those who had served under
him In times of peace as well as in times
of war.
CROWDS ACCOMPANY SOLDIERS.
The sabre is a beautiful piece of work.
handsomely engraved and fit token of
the admiration of the volunteers for their
former commander. Quite a large crowd
was gathered on Nineteenth street,
where the presentation ceremonies were
held, and many followed the soldiers to
the cemetery, which place several hun
dred people were already gathered,
among them being members of the fam
lilies of those being honored by their
former comrades.
Nothing occurred to mar the selemnity
of the occasion. The ceremonies were
impressive and tears were seen in the
eyes of many gathered around the grave.
