Russian Public Houses

A remarkable scene was witnessed a
few years ago, when the car of Russia
ordered that the private manufacture
Of vodka (the national drink should
cease, and that the business should be
taken over by the state and conducted
ON temperance lines. The new state
monopoly was inaugurated in a re-
markable way. Priests attended at all
the drinking shops by official com.
mand, and conducted special services.
The public houses were dedicated to
God, and prayers offered that under the
new regime drunkenness might be
abolished and the spiritual welfare Of
the people improved.

Care of the Hair

It is now generally agreed that many Of
the shampoos in use are injurious to the

DECLARATION is UNFADED.
Original Draft Of Jefferson's Mani
festo Of Independence Yet
Perfectly Legible.

Although the official copy Of the Dec
laration of independence was recently
deposited In Q steel safe, to prevent 1t
fading away completely, Jefferson s
original draft of that great manifesto
may still be seen in the library of the
state department in Washington. The
ink on this paper seems peculiarly
strong, states Youths Companion.
The erasures and interlineations tes-
tify to the care with which Jefferson
worked out the eloquent sentences,
Wherever change was made by either
Of his principal collaborators-Benja-
min Franklin and John Adams-he took
pains to note it by inserting in the mar
gin: Or Franklin's handwriting" or
"Mr. Adams handwriting, in order that
the exact limits of his own authorship
might never be disputed.
This is one of the papers of the old
congress of the confederation. 1t was
put into the custody of the state depart
ment when that executive branch was
organized. Some visitors doubted that
this famous paper was really in Jeffer-
sons handwriting To satisfy them the
department officers had framed by its
side, from their Jefferson papers, the
slip on which he wrote out directions for
his burial.
Aside from furnishing evidence of the
genuineness of the handwriting, these
directions are appropriate there, because
they give Jefferson's own estimate of
the importance of the Declaration. He
described the simpl' monument which
was to stand over his remains. and then
wrote for it this inscription. specifying

Jefferson's first title to fame remains
preeminent Few documents were ever
penned which had so great an effect on
history. The principles of freedom
which it contains have not faded from
the minds of men, even though the ink
Jefferson used has begun to lose its
brililance. He lived long enough to
know that the world agreed with his
estimate of the immortal declaration,
for he did not die till July 4, 1926, the
fftieth anniversary of its adoption.

WAY TO INCREASE THE VULCAN FUND Bank head -Hobson Joint Debate in Birmingham Suggested INVITATIONS TO DEBATERS Many People Here Are Eager to Listen to Colonel Bankhead and Captain
 Hobson-Would Fill
 Any Theatre.
INVITATIONS TO DEBATERS

It has been suggested that in view of the great interest shown here In the Bankhead- Hobson contest in the Sixth congressional district that the two can didates be invited to come to Birmingham , and give a joint debate for the benefit of the Vulcan fund. It has also been sug- gested that the price of admission be 90 cents. Such contest in this city would fill any public gathering place to over flowing and would realize at least s75O for the fund which means so much to Br- mingham and the surrounding mineral district.
 Both Congressman Bankhead and Cap tain Hobson have scores of friends in Birmingham who have moved here from the Sixth district, and they are exceed ingly anxious for an opportunity of hear ing the two candidates present their argu- ments on the stump.
 While such an arrangement would be unique, to say the least friends of the two men say they can see no just req son why the debaters should not accept the invitation. Of course no one here could vote for either candidate, but nearly ev- cry man in Birmingham has a friend or two in the Sixth district and the im- pression left here might be felt elsewhere l Everybody in Birmingham is interested in the joint debating tour between the veteran congressman and the naval hero, and the exhibition would be great draw ing card as we'll as source of profit to the people of the state by virtue of the ! advertisement at the worlds fair. Both of these speakers claim to have the inter- est of Alabama at heart as well as that of the Sixth district. A well-known public man said yesterday that as they were sim cere in their concern for the state, Bank head and Hobson could have no good ex- cuse for not coming to Birmingham and letting the people of this section hear what they have to say.
 At any rate, the invitation will be ex- tended to the debaters today
 While this idea has its humorous side i it also has a serious one, and the accept ance of such an invitation by the can- gressman or the former naval officer would be an evident act of generosity towards the state and the city of Birming- ham.
 In the meantime the public anxiously awaits a decision.
 Colonel Bankhead and Captain Hobson had joint debate at Oakman yesterday and will have a joint debate at C5rdova today

THOMPSON TO OPPOSE THOMPSON POLITICALLY
If Republicans Nominate Candidate for Congress in Fifth, Collector Thomp-
 son Will Oppose Brother.

The fifth congressional district republi can convention will be held in Tuskegee next Tuesday and some interesting situ- ations are likely to develop. It has been definitely decided to nominate a candidate for congress to oppose Charles W. Thomp- son, the democratic incumbent. The con vention will also select delegates to the national convention and will endorse President Rosevelts administration and the appointment of the Alabama referees.
 J. O. Thompson, the collector of internal revenues for the state of Alabama will be selected as one of the delegates to the national convention.
 Several names have been mentioned as congressional possibilities, among them being B. w. Walker, formerly of Mont gomery:. Joseph c. Manning of Talla- poosa and James Judkins of Wetumpka.
 An interesting situation develops in the probable opposition of J. o. Thompson to his brother C. w Thompson, the congress- man. The former is one of the leaders of the republican party in Alabama and the latter is a democratic congr ressinan. If a man is nominated by the republicans he will undoubtedly be strongly supported by j. O. Thompson. This politicei fight between brothers will be among the few instances of its kind in the history of Ala bama politics.

FARMERS TO GIVE
 HOMES TO NEGROES
JUDGE FEAGlN RECEIVES LET TIERS FROM MEN WHO HAD READ OF HIS EFFORTS TO RE- FORM coLoRED BOYS.

The good effects of Judge Feagin's poll cy of sending little negro boys to the country and having them kept away from the evils of the city life are to be seen. The efforts of the judge are being appre- ciated outside of the city, and he Is re- eeiving letters from farmers asking that boys be sent out to them to do farm work.
 Yesterday Judge Feagin received let ter from farmer at Newton, Ala, s. Cal- laway Jones, asking that boy over T years old be sent him. He said that he had read in the Age-H Herald that Judge Feagin was trying to send negro boys to the country and to get them good homes, and that he was able to furnish a home for a good boy.
 Mir Jones stated that the negro would be free from the temptations of drinking and gambling Judge Feagin said that he would send a boy, but that he had not decided which one to send.
 The judge is anxious to send about a dozen boys to the country. and any farm CTS who will write and asK TOT one will be accommodated at once. There are a dozen or more little negroes in jail who would make useful hands on farm. and would probably be pretty good boys if they were away from their present sur roundinRs

MORE DEMAND FOR
 SOUTHERN PIG IRON
INQUIRIES COMING IN FREELY. GOOD SALES ARE MADE AT $9.25 TO $9.5o--STEADY IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED.

The local iron market is showing de- cided Improvement this week. Inquiries are coming freely and some very good sales have been reported the price rang ing from s925 to S9.5O for No. 2 foundry.
 Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati cir cular of yesterdays date says
 On several occasions during the past few years an improvement in the pig iron market has been started by tho United States Steel corporation, and 1t appears probable that it's recent heavy purchase of Bessemer pig Is the turning point.
 There is much better feeling this week, inquiries are more numerous and quite q heavy tonnage of orders has been placed. Prices, however. have changed but little. Furnaces whose order books are fairly well filled are holding firm, while others are still pressing sales.
 There Is continued difficulty in trans- portation of coke, and a number of fur naces have been greatly embarrassed by scant supply. Numerous orders have been placed by foundries who fear coal miners strike and wish to make extra provision.
