ASSESSMENTS SAID
 TO BE MUCH TOO HIGH
Citizens of North Birmingham Adopt Resolutions Censuring the
 Street Committee.

Some of the citizens of the North High lands are much wrought up over the inn provement assessments made against their property for work being done by order of the city council. A mass meeting was held recently at the Knights of Pythias hall on Allen street at which the follow ing resolutions were adopted:
 Whereas, The citizens whose property is affected by work done under munich pal ordinance No. 9S feel that errors have been made in the amounts assessed against their specific property.
 And whereas, Some of said citizens have complained to the mayor and board of aldermen of said municipality of such assessment and errors. and their said complaints were referred to the street committee for action.
 And whereas, Said street committee ap- pointed three meetings with said citizens and failed to keep any of said appoint ments.
 And whereas, At a mass meeting of said citizens held on October 19, a sub-com- mittee was appointed to ask that they be allowed a hearing, and that the relief to which they felt entitled, be granted.
 And whereas, Said subcommittee has filed withe the mayor and board of all dermen a petition, alleging that certain errors and injustices had been done said owners in said assessments, and asking for relief; and. said petition has been, by said board, referred to above said street committee.
 And whereas, Said street committee did appoint a meeting with said sub-commit- tee for October 26, which they also failed to keep.
 Therefore be 1t resolved by said citi- gems, That 1t is their sentiment and feel ing that the said street committee has disregarded and violated its obligation to meet them or their committee, and that said street committee has trifed with them and the business referred to 1t.
 Be it further resolved, That such vio- lation and disregard is condemned and criticised and that we protest to said mayor and board of aldermen against such traeatment
 Be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to said mayor and board of aldermen. and that the mayor be requested to have the same read to the said board at it next meeting.

A jury in the circuit court had just de- cided that a man can recover s1 as dam ages for being spanked. The preponder- ence of the evidence showed that only one lick was struck.
 Whether the plaintiff could have recov- cred a dollar for every lick was not de- termined. The plaintiff was of age so that schools boys and boys who have been refractory at home and have had the strokes of the time honored slipper or paddle administered cannot hope to get a dollar for each lick because the cir cumstances would not be the same.
 The verdict of this jury, 1t Is suggested. may prove a dangerous precedent, for if college freshmen find they can get dol- lar for each stroke of the spankings they

GAME PLENTIFUL
 IN ALABAMA NOW Hunters Getting Ready for
 Annual Sport MANY QUAIL ARE SEEN Closed Season Has Been Strictly ob- served and Huntsmen Cannot F Complain of Scarcity
 of Birds.

The quail, or as it is some times incor- rectly called, the partridge, together with the turkey, to say nothing of the cotton tail are beginning to awaken to the fact that their season of uninterrupted soil tude and felicity has come to an end.
 The sportman, with his gun and bag is already tramping unbeaten tracks, break ing through apparently inpenetrable brush, climbing lofty mountain ridges following winding streams and crawling through long prarie grasses in his ardent desire for game.
 Close at his heels is the setter or point er with ears pricked, ever alert for the signal which bids him find the desired prey of it's master.
 Game Plentiful.
 The hunting season is on, and, from all accounts, game will be plentiful. The spring of the year was especially favor able for matching, and it is understood in sporting circles that the knight Of the gun" will not have any room to com- plain of scarcity of birds. Winston county will be one of the favored hunt ing grounds this year, as reports from there bespeak large quantities or quail and doves. Walker county will also con- tribute it's share to the lovers of the sport as, independent of the quail which is known to abound all over the county, | there are also some few deer and turkey | on the mountain ridges.
 Sure Sign.
 | One of the surest signs of abundant quail, is the perpetual cry of Bob White" which has disturbed the stiffness ! of eventide and twilight during the spring 1 and summer The Bob White as 1t is | familiarIy known is the male quail and it has been noticed that their peculiar call to their mates, which has given them their name, has been heard with unusual frequency this year.
 Another point in favor of an abundance of game is the great grain crop which has been raised this year With the diversi- | fcation of crops which has become so popular in the south great deal or small grain such as sorghum, oats and | wheat aids the propagation of the birds. | It is no longer necessary for the birds to travel for miles in search of food. The Dollarhide Sportsman's club of Eutaw, which is composed of some of the most prominent men in the state, and the Ala bama Field Trial club of Huntsville, have | been unswervng in their efforts to pro- tect game during the close season, and | it is understood that the country ad- | jacent to Mobile is under special restric- | tions, the game is being protected and
 in a few years that particular part of the state is expected to afford excellent sport.
 Counties northeast and northwest Of | Montgomery, notably Green Pickens, Lee, Clay, Chambers and Shelby will also be covered as they are all considered to | abound in game

plan contemplates as great an undertake ing as has attended the expansion of the Rock Island system, and explains why the Atlantic Coast Line scooped in the Plant system and the Louisville and Nashville. It would make MT. Walters and his associates a tremendous factor in the southern railway situation. It would seem to be an easy matter to car ny out such scheme as here suggested as the Louisville and Nashville controls the Georgia, having a lease on that road. The Coast Line already controls the Charleston and Western Carolina and the Columbia Newberry and Laurens. The Louisville and Nashville controls the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis.
 '"rhe system will have more ports than has probably any other in the United States. It will reach the Atlantic ocean and the Mexican gulf at Charleston, Sa- vannah Norfolk, Brunswick, Port Tampa, New Orleans and many intermediate points.
 '"rhe Atlantic Coast Line begins at Richmond and has lines from that point to Montgomery, Port Tampa. Brunswick, Savannah and Charleston and Norfolk. R. G. Erwin of New York is president. MT. Walters, Waldo Newcomer Michael Jenkins and other Baltimore men are large stockholders.
 The Charleston and Western Carolina extends from Port Royal to Augusta thence north to Spartanburg, Greenville and Greenwood and Laurens. The Louis vile and Nashville extends through it's main line and connections from CineIn- nati to New Orleans.
 The Atlanta and West Point runs be- tween Atlanta and West Point, and with the Western of Alabama goes into Mont gomery. The Georgia runs from Augusta to Atlanta and also reaches Charleston, Savannah Macon and other cities through branches and connections"

MAN WHO WAS SPANKED
 RECOVERED $l DAMAGES

receive this form of hazing may go out of fashion at our educational institutions.
 The spanking for which the plaintiff in the case got one dollar was done with a board according to the testimony. which may also have had something to do with the jury's bringing in the verdict it did.
 Will Owens was a convict leased by the Sheffield Steel and Iron company and whae so engaged he alleges that an agent of the defendant committed an as- sault and battery upon him for which he sued to recover 5000 damages. The as- sault and battery was shown before Judge Coleman to have consisted of a spanking with a board, and the jury brought in verdict allowing the plain tiff one-five-thousandth of his claim

The St. Louis Democrat says:
 President Yoalxum says: "rhe prosper ous condition which has prevailed during the past year in the territory tributary to the Frisco lines continues, and an av- craze good crop of farm products is as- sured for the current year The outlook for an increase in coal production is also bright so that a continuation of heavy freight traffic for another year may be expected. In consequence of the consider able new mileage opened for traffic dur ing the year, the increase in fixed charges is temporarily somewhat out of propor- ton to net earnings The territory served by the new lines is not only productive but is being rapidly developed and is now raising and marketing since the close of the fiscal year its first crop. There fore, both gross and net earnings, on these new lines, were smaller than we shall havo in the future, while the full interest charges were borne thereon since taking them into the system.

Everything lovely in the West.

It is interesting to find eastern bank
ers admitting that the west is becom-
ing financially independents "Our
troubles are no longer 2our troubles, y
was the way the vice president of a
Philadelphia bank expressed It during
the brief stay of the bankers in Kan
sas City on their way home from the
San Francisco convention. While
easterners have been speculating in
watered stocks on the supposition
that in trust finance two and two
could be forced to make ten or fifteen
instead of four, western farmers have
been laying solid foundation for
prosperity by raising enormous crops.
