The foregoing table shows that the street tax collections have been steadily decreasing since 1898. From ST, 23s in that year they have dropped to s6062 in 1904 a decline of almost 65 per cent. The small amount collected in 1904 is, says MT. Gambill, to the industrial depression in the district last year The figures would indicate. however. that the decline in street tax collections had set in before 1904

NEGROES ENDORSE CARTER

J. Rivers Carter, Capt James w. Lee and Alonzo Green are. through their re- sItctive friends, doing all that each of them can do to capture the RI mingham iiGastershp.
 MT. Carter's supporters say that the recommendation given their man by J. O.. Thompson. the Presidents referee in Ala bama, supplemented as it is by a strong endorsement from various interests, will result in MT. Carters appointment.
 Captain Lees friends insist that Lee is easily the choice of the rank and file of the republican party and Of the busi- ness and professional men of Birming- ham, and that in spite of MT. Thompson's 8 preference for Carter. the President will when he understands the situation, ap- point Captain Lee. They say that Captain Lees demonstrated executive ability, wide personal popularity and successful business career will outweigh the claims made by any other candidate for the appointment. Throughout the day, letters were written, petitions signed and dis patches sent to the President and the 1-OSlI deItl di III 1dpiditi i<SC . Oc- half,
 Point to Maryland Case.
 Shrewd observers pointed out yesterday that if the President could turn down the republican organization in a state like Maryland, he can afford to act similarly in Alabama. In this connection 1t will be remembered that Mr. Roosevelt rejected the recommendations of Maryland repub- iican leaders and appointed as postmaster at Baltimore a man whose claims were strikingly similar to those put forward by Captain Lee in Birmingham.
 carters Friends Confident.
 MT. Carter's friends say that th.-e s now no probability that their candidate will lose They admit that Captain Lee, who Is a business man, has a stronger endorsement from the business, com- mercial and industrial interests than has MT. Carter, but they say that MT. Carter has a strong following, that the repup- lican organization is behind him and that he is the logical man for the place. They pointed out yesterday that the Citi- zens' Colored club of Birmingham, com posed of 100 negroes, have endorsed MT Carter.

 Negro Endorsement Discussed.
 The endorsement given MT.

He said that fifty members were present, that the subject of the postmastership was discussed and that although Captain Lee had his friends among the negroes, yet when the vote came they all voted for MT.

JOHN C. KIMBALL
 WOUNDED IN FIGHT
c. R. VEITcH CUTS MIR. klMBALL WITH KNIFE-lNJURY NOT SERI. oUS-AFFRAY IN MORRIS AVE. NUE BUSINESS HOUSE.

John c. Kimball, secretary of the w. L. Murdock Brokerage company and Carlos R. Veitch, employed by the II. E. Shropshire company, had personal dif- ficulty yesterday afternoon in the store of Collins 6 Go. on Morris avenue, and the former was painfully cut in the back by the latter.
 The fight was the result of some teas- ing on the part of MT. Kimball in regard to money matter, and 1t caused MT Veiteh to say something about W. L. Murdock. Mr. Kimball resented the re- mark and struck Veitch in the mouth, and the two clinched. In the fight Veitch cut Kimball in the back, making flesh wound about six inches long.
 Veitch was arrested by Policeman Hury and released on a bond of s1O0. Mir. Kimball is at the private infirmry of Dr. Brown. Mr. veitch stated that he used ms Knife because he understood that MT Kimball was an athelete, while he him. self was in rather poor condition. -~~~~~-~~>~-~-~~>~~~~-~
 attended the meeting and had influenced negroes to support his candidacy In com menting on this report Dr. Mason said:
 MT. Carter had an engagement to see me at my office last (Tuesday) night-the night Of the meeting. He came before the meeting was called to order. As the members of the club entered my office l introduced some of them to MT. Car ter, and he chatted with them MT. Carter left my office before the meeting was called to order"
 Says It's the Old Clique.
 In some circles yesterday it was said that the Carter candidacy represents the clique that has run the postoffice for eight years, and that the appointment oS MT. Carter would tend to perpetuate in power what is referred to as "the Hughes crowd" The fact that J. T. Blakemore, the assistant postmaster un- der Dr. Hughes, has withdrawn in favor of MT. Carter indicates. 1t is said, that ie Carter gets the place all the Hughes people will be retained
 The anti-Carter people say that the time has come for a new deal, and they are taking steps to inform the President thoroughly of existing conditions.
 In spite of all this MT. Carters friends are complacent. MT. Carters petition went to Washington last night.
 Alonzo Green wishes it distinctly un- derstood that he is still in the race His friends say he has a good chance to get the job. They say that the contest be- tween Carter and Lee will become so hot before the week is out that the Presi- dent will appoint MT. Green as a com promise.

Why not follow these natural laws--lay away

Quite true-you can get these things ater--the
squirrel for instance can't But you cannot get them
at so low price as now-because we are special
pricing winter hosiery and underwear and are doing
everything in our power TO encourage buying.
Why Because we bought too many OF these

should be in use Our judgment Of the quality and
value Of what we bought has been amply justified,
but our judgment as TO the quantity needed was at
