MAYOR STATES HIS VIEWS ON
STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISES
COL ONEl LEVY TALKS OF
MISSISSIPPI AFFAIRS

Col. R. M. Levi. one of the most promi-
nent politicians in Mississippi, is visiting
friends in the city. He is away from
home on short vacation and has a
large number of friends in the city with
whom he spends week or ten days
every summer.
Colonel Levi managed the campaign of
Judge Critz, one of Governor vardaman's
opponents In the two races for governor
In talking about Governor vardaman
last night he said
L am certain that Governor yardaman
will run for the Senate and he will have
to defeat John Sharp Williams if he gets
the place. The entire result of the fight
between these two prominent men de-
ponds on their actions during the time
intervening between now and the opening
of the campaign.
If Mr.. Williams, who I consider one
of the brainiest men in the state or in
the south, makes as good a record In
the House in the next term as he did In
the 1ast, when he was leader of the dem
oeratic party, he is almost certain to be
elected senator.
However, if Mr. Williams makes any
mistake in the position he takes on some
OF the great questions he will hurt his
chances of being elected a great deal.
In the same manner Governor Varda-
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1905-06-04

man must depend on his record in his
present office to aid him in getting elect
ed to the Senate. It is easier to make
mistakes as governor than 1t is as rep
resentative. Up to the present time Gov
ernor Vardaman has made an excellent
chief executive. He has administered the
affairs of the state to much greater adj
vantage than many of us thought he
would, and he is making us good Of
fetal
What ever the two men may do in
the future, the race will be an interest
ing one, and one that will bring out all
the political forces of the state Both
men have powerful personal followings
and have excellent records.
Just at present the indications are
that the cotton crop will be rather short
Owing to the long continued rains the
farmers have been unable to weed out,
but few clear days will allow them to
get into the fields and make a crusade
against the weeds and grass.
THE stand of cotton now is larger than
1t was last year at this time, and the
indications are that the crop will be
equally as heavy as 1t was last year The
weeds and grass may. however, choke off
a part of the crop and cause the reduce
ton that is desired.

FoRCED-WRITES LETTERS TO
CHIEF OF POLICE AND STREET
COMM sSIoNER.

The mayor is determined to have the
new street cleaning ordinance enforced
rigidly. He addressed the following let
ter to Street Commissioner John McCar-
tin yesterday:
Commencing today instruct your men
to carry off all wooden trash boxes, bar
rels, etc, found on the streets or alleys
which do not fuhl the specifications of
new garbage ordinance.
You will also clear the sidewalks and
alleys of every box, banner, sign, boot
black stand, or any obstruction whatever
that is not authorized by special city per-
nit
Please pay special attention towards
seeing that this order is executed i'm
mediately in the fire limits. The police
department will assist you in holding 1t
in force.
To Chief of Police w. E. Wier he wrote
the following letter:
Enclosed find copy of instructions given
to John M. McCartin, street commissioner
Please throw all the authority of the
police department behind our street-clean-
ing force and see that all distractions
are removed from the sidewalks and all
leys and that they are kept off of same
in the future

In speaking of the fair yesterday Man
ager Williams said: II have never seen
people anywhere take more interest In the
success OF fair than the Birmingham
people are showing in this Everybody
seems TO be talking and working for the
fair and In my opinion this will be one
OF the greatest every held In this section
of the country. 4
THE fair provides the best means in
the world of advertising and building up
the Industrial interests Of a state or com
munity Alabama Is one of the best
states In the Union and only needs to be
advertised properly to become one of the
most prosperous and wealthy. A state
fair properly conducted would attract
more attention to the states possibilities
than any other one thing
Alabama Live Stock.
I'VE can produce as fine stock in Ala
bama as can be raised in any other sec
ton of the country. Why. do you know
that one of the finest horses at the st.
Louis exposition that carried away one
OF the choicest prizes. was sent from Bir-
mingham, was raised here and today Is
being driven about the streets of this
city? 1t Is a fact, but not generally
known. We do not properly appreciate
what can be done along these lines in
Alabama
1.-THE principal purpose of this fair is
to educate the people In these things and
stimulate them to higher ideals in their
labors II Is easier to produce fine stock
than poor. and affords much more sat-
isfactlon and profit.

liams ito establish permanent winter
quarters in Birmingham for fine horses
We will keep about 800 horses here next

b. B. Conner, president of the state rail-
road commission, and r. M. Cunningham.
lieutenant governor--two Of the most en-
thusiastic baseball fans" in Alabama
sat side by side in the grandstand at
West End park yesterday afternoon,
watched Birmingham defeat New Orleans
by a score of to 4, and let the guber-
material bee buzz harmiessly in their
ears.
The two men talked in undertones. An
expert stenographer who sat in one wing
of the grandstand fifty yards away rugged
up a wireless telephone outfit and took
down these words as they fell from the
rival candidates lips:
r. NJ. c.: Look here, Conner, I've been
wanting to see you for three weeks hear
you're going to run against me for gov
ernor. Now, old man, that isn't fair. I'm
lieutenant governor; made the race to
help Jelks out, you know. and all my
friends tell me I'm in line for the gov
ernorship l had the job cinehed to GER
tainty till you came along with yoar
railway rate reform band wagon. Now, If
you'll just be content to stay where you
are as president of the railroad commits
sion, I'll make a runaway race of this
governorship and come breeding home an
easy winner. What d'you say2'
B. B. c.: 1 am perfectly content where
| am, governor--perfectly. L have no
personal desire to be governor. Political
office as a ribbon to stick in ones coat
is nothing to me. Political office as an
opportunity for public service has It's at
fractions, | admit. / shall be a candidate
for governor only on the condition that
l feet 1t to be my duty to make the race
In the interest of the people.
r. M. c.: Precisely / understood your
position to be just that before you spoke.
1t is in keeping with your generous tenn
per, Mr.. Conner, and your exalted char
acter You have taken exactly the posi-
ton that everyone who knows you would
have expected you to take (Grasping b.
B. C.'s hand) | wish there were more
such distinguished patriots in our grand
old commonwealth
b. B. c.: There are many-indeed they
are far more numerous than some per-
sons suppose. But to return to the sub
ject what is 1t you wish me to do for
you?
r. M. c.; Stay where you areas pres-
dent of the railroad commission-and
make the railroads take to the tall tim
Der. Let me become governor, and Ill
make them do likewise. You help me to
be governor and I'll help you when you
start out to get Sanders and Tunstall's
sealps. Then We'll hold the state in the
hollows of our hands.
b. b. c. examining the palm of his
hand: 'Tis easier said than done. gov
ernor. If 'twere as easy to make the
railroads take to the tall timber as it is
to say Wen make the railroads take
to the tall timber" then Milton IL. Smith
would have been in a turpentine mill
long, long ago.
r. M, c.: 'Tis true-'tis pity-pity tits
It's true And yet. Conner, the cry will
serve its purpose and ours as we'll ITO
the hills with the railroads." A stirring
phrase, Conner, stirring phrase, and
one that starts the blood atingling. 1

Watch that paper which "pokes

closely resembling a goats beard,
the women are freaks, and some
times the entire rural community is
shown on the verge of drunkenness
Coarse sports and coarser characters
are assigned to the people living in

for they only seek rural readers to

Nurse Crops" Unnecessary.

The Department Of Agriculture
has issued a pamphlet summing up
the results of an experiment by the
Wisconsin Station, showing that the
claim that a nurse crop is necessary
for grass and clover sowing is with
out foundation. There is no need
whatever for sowing oats, barley Or
any other grain with grasses for the
purpose of yielding shade and pro-
lection. young grass and clover
plants are not injured by direct sun
light and heat more than other
plants of our fields" The expert
ments, made over series Of years,
show that grasses and clover soWn
by themselves on proDerl y prepared
soil spring up at once and make
rapid growth, bearing seed heads the
same season. The objection that
weeds will spring up, can be over
come largely by running a mower
over the field when the weeds are
about 8 inches high, setting the cutter
bar so that the tops of the weeds are
cut while the grass plants are not
hurt. Soil, however. to be planted
in this way should be fairly free from
weed seeds. It is recommended to
SOW seed early in the spring. Exper-
iments similar to the above have also
been carried out in New jersey
where the seed was, however, soWn
in the fall. In either event a very
fine tilth is essential to a good stand
