HORSE SHOWS TO BE
 FEATURE OF FAIR
MANAGER WILLIAMS IN PENNIES SEE MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR SHOWS TO BE GIVEN AT FAIR NEXT MONTH.

Secretary and General Manager R. M. Williams of the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit association left last night for Tennessee where he goes to incite addi- tional interest in the horse show which will be given the first six nights of the fair.
 Birmingham has secured a place on tho southern horse show circuit, which con- trols the high class horses in the great est horse racing section of the country This circuit starts next week at Colum- bia, Tenn, and then in regular order pro- ceeds to Chattanooga, Athens, Atlanta, Selma, Birmingham and Macon
 Many stables of noted show horses will go all the way down the circuit. The horse show will be an open air affair at every place except Atlanta. In Birming- ham an attractive programme has been arranged. From to 10 classes will show every night. The social feature will be pronounced.
 One Of the features of the horse show just added by Secretary Williams will be the stables of Barney Demorest, of Kittanning, Pa.

CITY COUNCIL AFTER
 POLICE COMMISSION
Mayor Ward Authorized to Advertise the Three Bills Drawn to AboI-
 ish Commission.

At last nights meeting of the City Council the Mayor was authorized in the adopted report of the finance committee to advertise the three acts drown by the city attorney for repeating the acts that established the present police commission.
 This precaution is taken in the effort to get through at the coming extra ses- sion of the legislature bills that will abol- ish the present police commission, take 1t out of legislative authority and make the commission responsible to the city government.
 The fact that the recommendation of the france committee was unanimously adopted by the City Council is interpreted to mean that the Mayor and Aldermen of Birmingham are unanimously in favor of abolishing the police commission as it now exists.

 Birmingham, Ala, September 8, 1905. Dear Sir: The continued growth of business in this section, and in the Bir- mingham district particularly, has in1- pressed upon the directors the irnpor- ta1ce of putting this bank in position to offer greater facilities to customers and at their last meeting they decided by unanimous vote to recommend to the stockholders that the capital stock be increased as early as practicable in the sum of $5000O0, making the total capital $1O00000. They have therefore called special meeting Of stockholders to con- vene at their banking house in the city of Birmingham on Tuesday, October 10 1905, at F o'clock noon, to vote upon a proposition to increase the capital stock in the amount named, the new stock to be offered at par to present shareholders in proportion to their present holdings. For use in case you cannot attend the meeting in person, we enclose proxy and subscription blanks, which you are re- quested to sign and return to us. Should you prefer not to sign the proxy fin blank, we would suggest that you desig- nate as your attorney either John c. Henley or George M Morrow, who are both eligible to act. Yours very truly,
