system projected, are among the achieve
ments that have been accomplished by
Birmingham's suburb during the year
1904.
In the early days of Jones valley, when
cotton and corn were the chief products
the level and easy titled soil attracted
many settlers to this country. After the
same manner that the section around
Hawkins springs and Jonesboro proved
tempting to the house of Jones, the plains
at the foot of Red Mountain on the site
of Woodlawn were the magnet that drew
several families of the Woods to this COM
munity. When the Alabama Great South
ern railway company extended Its lines
into Jefferson county along the site of
this early settlement a flag station was
established and as the Woods predomin-
ated at this station the place was named
Woods station.
This title was retained until the settle
ment grew to such extent that the poo
pie proposed to bind themselves together
in a cooperation This was done in 1892
when the town was incorporated under
the name of Woodlawn. In honor Of
the ancient and distinguished Wood fami-
lies, whose descendants are still potent
factors in this districts developments
and the many well kept lawns that sur
rounded the pioneer residences of this
town.
At the time of the incorporation the
town had a population of 700. In 1900 ac-
cording to the official census the popula-
ton was 2S4S. In 1908 1t was $3.50. When
the school census was taken three months
ago the population was considerably In
excess of COCO.
hOact pf It's fine
residences its public school system, Its
fire department, electric lights and water
works, splendid car service. churches, good
streets and four trunk lines running
through the city limits.
The public schools consists of four mod
ern school buildings, a teaching corps of
IS teachers and an enrolment of 800 stu
dents. During the last summer two large
handsome school buildings we're erected.
One in East Woodlawn, named in honor
of Robert Kennedy, member Of the city
council who has always taken an active
part in education and one in West Wood
lawn named in honor of j. b. Gibson. a
leading member of the board of education.
The buildings are made of brick two
stories high and have all modern conven-
fences Each building has two large halls
and five commodous recitation rooms.
The sum of $1,000 is appropriated annual
~ Dy the cltlzens 1or the maintenance
of the public schools.
The city Of Woodawn Is one example
where a town has prospered withou. the
aid of any whisky traffic. The sale of
whisky has never been permitted in the
city and no revenues have been derived
from this source still tie city govern
ment Is maintained, the schools are sup
ported and as much work and improve
ment has been recorded in Woodlawn as
in any other city of the entire country.
This is a striking example to the many
towns and cities that contend they can't
subsist without being assisted by the re-
venues derived from saloons and dispen-
saries.

Woodlawn is connected with Birming-
ham by two electric car lines, the East
Lake line with a schedule OF eight min
utes between cars and the Gate City
line with a schedule of twelve minutes
between cars. Four trunk lines run
through the city limits. The Alabama
Great Southern, The Southern, the
Central Of Georgia and the Seaboard.
The Seaboard is on contract to erect a
$1,000 depot which will possibly be started
within the next six months. The other
three lines have also agreed to build a
comm odious and modern union depot
The site has been selected and the work
of erection is expected to shortly begin.
This structure will cost between $1,000
and $1,000.
The city limits q the city are one mile

RAILROAD WARFARE
 FIN SOUTHERN ARIZONA
The Conflicting Interests of the
 Santa Fe and the Southern Pa cific are Decided in Favor of
 the Latter.

Attorney Ives, of the Arizona 6 Eastern, and Attorneys Norton and Chalmers of the Phoenix & Eastern, appeared in the district court at Flor ence, Monday, to argue a motion on a supeIsedeas bond rendered by the Phoenix & Eastern railroad company.
 Before the hearing of the motion formal decree in conformance with the order made by Judge Doan on the 7th dissolving the injunction previously granted the Phoenix & Eastern, was entered.
 This decree awards the right of way in dispute to the Arizona & Eastern and Iestrains the Phoenix & Eastern from interfering with it. AS soon as the formal decree was entered the at torneys for the Phoenix & Eastren presented a supersedeas bond and asked for an order suspending the de- cree of the court pending the determi- nation of an appeal to the supreme court of the territory.
 The court denied the application and thereupon the attorneys for the Phoenix & Eastern filed an appeal bond and carried the case up to the supreme court where, it is understood an application will be made for. an or der suspending the judgment and de- cree of the trial court. In the mean time the Phoenix & Eastern will re- main in possession of the disputed ground, so far as we know.-F florence Blade

SUCCESSFUL RUN
 OF THE BRICK PLANT
Under New Management the Problem of Quality and Quan- tity of Sand Stone Brick is
 Practically Solved at New Plant.

Yesterday completed a two weeks trial test of the plant of the Arizona Sand Stone Brick company, under the management of J. F. Kramer. During that tune the product yielded aggre- gates over 200, GOO bricks, and in quail ity they are pronounced the finest ever manufactured since the plant was established in this section, excelling anything heretofore in that line turn ed out. The quantity also reflects on the capacity of the mechanical ability that was necessary, and in this respect the stockholders were also more than gratified at the results.
 For some time this plant will be closed there being no occasion under present demands to resume. or until spring comes along, by which time the government buildings at WhippIe it is expected will be under headway on more gigantic scale than ever. Several hundreds of thousands of these excellent bricks are in the yards of the company for any local demand. The fact that the government has se- lected this particular make of an arti- cle and that all buildings in this city are constructed from the product of this company, is in itself a criterion to judge of the adaptability of the article that is made in this section.
 In addition to what has been demon strated by this enterprise, the last product is to be more favorabIy con- sidered than heretofore, for the reason that since MT. Kramer has been in charge, he has--sovled the question of manufacturing a far better article than has ever been turned out, while the capacity of the plant has been in- creased also to its maximum rating.
 The company operating this plant are to be congratulated for through its introduction the architectural beauty of the city is to be linked more than anything els3 that can be ad- vanced in the line of a building ma terial.

A SAD DEATH,
Little TOmmie Miller Passes
 Away Yesterday Morning.

Tommie, the nine year old son of Mir. and Mrs. Samuel Miller, passed away yesterday morning after a long illness. The little sufferer had battled between life and death for several days, and though it seemed at times his recovery vas assured, the malady that proved fatal baffled in the end all that tender care and skill could ac- complish. The little fellow was the hope of his fond mother and father, and was always otedient to their wish es. To his fellow playmates he was very much endeared, and in the hour of sorrow and bereavement this estima- ble family have the sympathy of all.
 His remains will be laid away this afternoon amid the scenes he was reared, and to all there IS extended an invitation to be present. Mir. and Mrs. Miller have the sympathy of the community in the sad loss they must bear.

ANOTHER PIONEER
 HAS PASSED AWAY
George ConneIl the Wealthy Cat tIeman of This County, Sue cumbs to Recent Illness in Los Angeles II He Was Good Han
 and Among the Early Pioneers.

A letter has been received in this city from Los Angeles that states that George Cornell, of Walnut Creek, has died from the result of an illness with which he has been suffering for the past few years. His death occur red suddenly.
 Not until recently was it known that the deceased was a sufferer, on the contrary the belief was that he was in the vigor of manhood, and the fact of him never having been known to be ill, comes as surprise to the many here that he has passed away.
 MT. Cornell was for over third of a century a resident of this section, and he was universally we'll known and as we'll regarded. But short time ago he returned to this section, but receiving no benefit by the change he returned to Los Angeles, where his family had remained. He followed the pursuit of live stock raising and had amassed quite fortune. His re- mains were laid away in that city last Friday.

STATEHOOD PUT BEGINS ID BO|L
IntimatiOn of Trouble
 Ahead for Arizona.
Governor BrOdie Appreciates the Situation at Washington and he Requests ArizOnans to Talk Hard Against the Merger Plan.

The Phoenix Republican of Monday morning has the following:
 "The board of supervisors of this county have received a letter from Governor Brouie, who is now in Wash ington, urging the board at the earli- est opportunity to prepare strong reso- lutions against the jointure of New Mexico and Arizona. The board will comply at the next meeting, but the members do not know how to make the protest from this county stronger than it has already been made. No doubt the governor has addressed similar letters to the boards of all the counties in the territory.
 From the above it would seem that those in position to know feel alarm ed over the situation on statehood as it is before the senate. As predicted by this paper immediately after the election, and when it was known also that the republican candidate for con- gress in Arizona was defeated, the worst rebuke ever given an ad- ministIation was that extended by Arizona. It would seem, ac- cordingly, that from the direct inti nation of Governor Brodie, who is now on the scene, that the worst is yet to come, and that there will be de. termined effort to link Arizona and New Mexico together, little sdoubt may be entertained. New Mexico de- sires such matter to Ee crystalized into an actuailty, and from now there should be a concerted movement in- augurated throughout Arizona to crush the action that is evidently talk ing root on the part of the enemies of this territory. Congress reconvenes on December 5th, week from yester- day, and in view of the warning sounded by Governor Brodie, our peo pie should move on this vital question as soon as possible.

AVERRILL'S CASE
 IN COURT TODAY
The Late Shooting Scrape st rlayer is Before a Grand Jury and the Trial Progresses.

The time of the district court yes terday was taken up in the case of ths territory versus Frank AverilI, whc on the 16th of the present month be same involved in controversy over game of cards. Later the discussion led to the killing of Tilford and the wounding of Rich by Averill. The particulars at the time were published in thls paper. The case has attracted many spectators, all the parties to the trouble being we'll known in the sec tion where the deed occurred.
 The following jurymen qualified and before them the case is being pre- sented by the respective counsel. Dis trict Attorney Clark and Joseph Nor rison represent the prosecution, while Hicks & Anderson are on the defense. The following is the jury:
 J. W. Jackson, E. M. Albretson, Pat Barrett, David H. Biles, Jas. L. Wright, Frank Reynolds, Charles A labach, Walter Codington, J. J. Davis, J. s. Atkin, Archie Middleton, Pa. Mcconnell.
 It is expected that two or three days will be required to try this case, and on behalf of Averill there are at least dozen men to testify. The prosecu- tion also has a large number of wit nesses. The parties to this sad affair are we'll known and it is to be regret ted that from such trivial cause the sacrificing of human life was neces- sary.
 For the first time in over thirty years this is the only case that has been necessary to try in a court room from Mayer, all troubles and disputes heretofore being settled without re course to this channel. Public opinior in this affair at that place is in favor of Averill, but what the character Of the testimony will be remains to be proven.
