ALMOST A MEAL FAMINE,
Local Food Conditions Affected By
 Scarcity of Cars.

It seems that the shortage in cars not only intensifies the coal famine in New York and other cities, but affects local food conditions as well. The majority of people may be surprised to learn that Bir- mingham is on the verge of meal famine but such is the case, and this Is said to be caused by the inability of the railroads to deliver corn to the mills throughout the country.
 It was stated by wholesale grocery merchant yesterday that very few of the local merchants had more than dozen bushels of meal in their houses and hard ly knew when thir stock would be re- plenished. There is not only a scarcity of meal caused by the car shortage, but this scarcity of cars and locomotives is seri- ously effecting the supply of hay and other feed stuff
 Most of the hay and grain consumed in Birmingham comes from the middle west and Is often delayed by the insufficient motive power of the railroads. There was a car of hay received a day or two ago by feed merchant, and 1t was astonish- ing to see the rush that was made to bid on 1t, for it was bought by bidding. There seemed to be no fixed price and the price paid was three times that usually asked for the same stuff.

NEGROES TO RESCUE
 OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFER TO PASS ON APPLICATIONS OF MEMBERS OF RACE FOR AP- CONTINENTS TO SAVE HIM EM. BARRAsSMENT.

Washington, January 2i = President Roosevelt today received a cali from Will liam Pledger, a well-kno@n negro politi- clan of Georgia, and Bishop Walters, a prominent coored churchman, who de- sired to discuss with him the general sub ject of the appointment of negroes to fed eral offices. The former is acting presi- dent of the Africo-American council, the leading negro political organization of the country, and Bishop Walters Is chairman of the executive committee of the council
 They told the President they feared he was being embarrassed by many pending claims from negroes for political prefer ment, and indicated their intention after consultation with colored men through out the country to call a meeting of the executive committee OF the Africo-Amer- ican council, to be held in this city for the purpose of devisng some means of re futlng the claims of colored men so as to relieve the President of the consideration of the cases of those who are entitled fairly to such consideration.
 The executive committee consists of three members of each state
 It is proposed to suggest to the execu- tive committee the creation of a central committee of prominent colored men, the committee to pass finally upon the claims of negro applicants for federal appoint ments before they are presented to the President
 It Is pointed out that this or some simi- lar plant would relieve the President from much annoyance and the promoters of the idea hope to see 1t carried into ef- feet. The President did not indicate to his callers what his views respecting their plans were.

Trouble seems to be brewing in the ranks of the Jefferson Volunteers.

 First Lieutenant Robert Gregory Is president of the courtmartial and Second Lieutenant Hugh Miller is judge advo- cate. During the past few months there has been difficulty in getting the mem- bers to attend the drills.
 It is more than probable that there will be some extensive walking matches among the members on next Tuesday It has been stated by a member of the company that a number of the men who are frequently absent from muster will be arrested Tuesday if they fail to at tend muster to morrow night. and be mAde to walk a post for different lengths 1 s2zns. according to the gravity of the o6GDA
