THE AMERICAN SPIRIT OF UNREST
By Mayor George B. Mcclellan.

The country needs men Of thought
and men Of learning, and needs them
badly. The man who thinks may be
a greater patriot than the man who
does. 1t has been said that no amount
Of means and light will avail unless
accompanied by action, which is the
same as saying that the brain would
be useless without the power Of ex-
preston. We have defined action as
the two prizes Of thought. The good
old motto, ACT in haste; repent at
leisure" no longer stands at the top of

NEGOTIATING FOR
 PROMINENT SITE
A SYNDICATE BEING FORMED TO PURCHASE BANK SALOON PROF. ERTY FOR $16o, ,ooo-FIVE POINTS LOT BRINGS $25, 1000.
CULPEPPER ExUM,

Negotiations are pending for the sale of the Bank saloon property at the north west corner of First avenue and Twen- tieth street, owned by the Worthington estate, to a syndicate composed of local men. This property fronts 50 feet on Twentieth street and has depth of 100 feet. A prominent real estate firm which is getting up the syndicate has secured an option for GOO, and up to last night about seven-tenths of that amount had been subscribed, and persons interested express the belief that the entire sum necessary to close the deal will be se- cured within the next day or two.
 The Calhoun Distilling company, now occupying the Bank saloon, has a lease on the property which has three years yet to run.
 It is said that the syndicate will pur- chase the property with view of event. ually erecting steel frame office build ing on the site The price agreed upon, it is pointed out, is only shade higher per foot than was paid for the Linn building at the northeast corner of First avenue and Twentieth street. The latter prop erty is 56x10o feet and it sold for sl7S,5OO
 The Building, Land and Securities com pany, of which ex-Governor w. H. Sims is president, has purchased from the Water Works company the lot at Five Points behind Parker's drug store for s25,OOO. The area of the property is 157ia on Twentieth street, 135 feet on Mag nolia avenue, with a depth of PIP feet.
 The new owners purpose erecting handsome apartment house on the site. The sale of the lot was negotiated by Brown Bros. & Co.

CHRISTMAS BRINGS
 JOY TO PRISONERS
MAYOR WARD WILL ORDER A SCORE OF THEM TO BE RE- LEASED-oTHERs WILL BE GIVEN A DINNER.

The unfortunates in the city jail will be remembered Christmas by the city officials Some will be more fortunate than others.
 At a meeting of the finance committee of the City Council last night the follow ing inmates at the city prison were recom- mended for executive clemency: Dennis Barber, Henrietta Greer, John Cosby, Charles Young, Will Wilson, Charles Thomas, George Greer, Collins Mosley, John w. Tarkin, Bush Galloway, Percy Dent, Jim Davis, Charles Franklin, Albert Funege, Arthur Jackson, Walter Jackson, Will Lockett, Charles Tobobolas, Jim Franklin, Will Russell.
 Several of the prisoners would have heavy punshments to serve but for the recommendations of Warden Rittenberry and City Physician Hayes. These officials, in communication to the Mayor and the finance committee, asked that the pris- oners mentioned be released.
 Will Russell had the heaviest sentence imposed against him of all the men, He was fined $115 and sentenced to serve 1S0 days on the street, making a total of 40 days.
 Bush Galloway was fined $90 and 1S0 days and if the sentence was carried out he would yet owe 333 days.
 Mayor Ward announced last night that he would issue the necessary orders and have the prisoners released Sunday morn ing.

HENRY 6. WEST
 LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE
WELL-kNOWN NEWSPAPER MAN WILL BE IN RACE FOR REPRE- SENTATIVE FROM JEFFERSON IN NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY,.

Among those who will be candidates for representative from Jefferson county to
 the next general assembly is MT. Henry C. West, a well known printer and news paper man. MT. West now is and has for some time been employed in the mechan- ical department of the Birmingham News.
 He enjoys the confidence and esteem Of his craft and was recently elected a dele gate from Birmingham Typographical union No. 104 to the Birmingham Trades council. MT. West has been engaged in the newspaper and printing business for sixteen years, and while yet young man, enjoys reputation as newspaper writer of which anyone of his age could well
 be proud.
 In noticing his editorial writings the Chattanooga Times said. He Is news paper genius" The Birmingham News said: 'He Is a bright and clever young man and has many friends both in and
 out of newspaper circles. The Jasper
 Mountain Eagle said He is one of the
 most pleasing writers in the state: he
 never writes q dull item.' The Sheffield
 Reaper, in referring to one of his pub lications, said: His paper recommends
 itself to the refined and refining classes by true merit q quality that should in- sure the fullest measure of success. II Is
 useless for US to speak of his versatility and ability as a newspaper man. for we have said it several or more times be- fore a fact that impresses itself 9tpon the minds or Ills readers. 1ne FHyette : Banner. a few years ago, speaking of him as a suitable man to succeed Senator Sowell fin the district composed of Walker, Fayette and Lamar counties. said: He is life long democrat vigorous in the right and worthy of seat in the Sem ate The Washington County Times, speaking of MT Vests editorship said: "rypographcaly his paper Is up to the standard, and It's reading matter gives ev- idence of mature thought diversified Into wit wisdom. poetry and science" On the same subject the Columbus fMss.) Com mercal said: "The practiced hand of our able and fluent writer Is very much in evidence"
 MT. West will in due time state public ly his position matters of importance to be brought before the next legislature of Alabama. 'ss

been a nurse in MT. London's house. hold.
 "1'he children were unhurt. The nurse was painfully injured.
 When the carriage ran into the cleo tric light pole the shock was so ter rife that the mulatto nurse, with her precious charge in her arms, was thrown from the rear seat of the carriage and driven against the front scat and the pane of window glass in the front of the carriage. The glass broke and the nurse was most painfully if not critically in jured Her throat was cut deep by the glass, and she doubtless suffered excru- ciating pain, but in spite of 1t all she 1t safe from harm. There is no doubt in my mind that this mulatto woman consciously rlsked her own life to save that of the little child and in doing so won for herself no mean title of the true heroine. If she does not receive one of the Carnegie medals for herosm 1t will not be because she does not deserve to receive It.
 Both children luckily came out of the accident without even d scratch. They were promptly taken to the residence of MT. Ell P. Smith nearby and there put in communication with their parents.
 ''The nurse was put in our automobile and wheeled rapidly away to St. Vincent 8 hospital Her fortitude was remarkable. She got into the automobile unassisted and when 1t arrived at St. Vincent's she got out of the automobile and walked into the hospital"

 A petition from the owner of the Dice Box saloon to conduct q saloon at N. 1904 caused a lengthy discussion. Mayor Ward moved that the petition be not granted Alderman Forney offered as substitute that the petition be allowed. The motion of Alderman Forney pre- vailed, but afterwards it was agreed to postpone final action pending an inves- tgation of the saloon by the alderman of the Second ward, Aldermen O'Neill and klotZ
