AnnounCeme nt.


/ wish to annouCe, through the
columns of the JOURNAL, my can
didacy for the office of County Judge
of Pierce County, to be voted upon
at the Spring election.
While large number of the peo-
pie of the county have known me
for the past twenty years, in my Of
fetal capacity as Register of Deeds,
and in my private business as Abb
stracter, yet there are, no doubt,
great many who are not aware that
for nearly seven years | was clerk
and Register in Probate for the
County Judge Of this county. Dur
ing such clerkship the office was
thoroughly reorganized in the way
of records and files. The expert
ence derived from my work in the
office and my study of probate law
and practice, will aid me very ma
terially, if elected, in conducting
the office in the best interests of
the people.
My residence being in the County
Seat, will enable all persons, hav-
ing business to transact with the
County Judge, to receive immediate
attention at any time. If elected, |
shall try to keep the Office up to a
high standard. l respectfully ask
the suffrage of the voters of Pierce
County. FRED ID. LORD.

 SIX ARE INJURED Result of Collision Early Yes-
 terday Morning BIG ENGINE IN THE DITCH Track Had to Be Built Under Southern Engine to Get It Out of Hole.

 All Recover.
BIG ENGINE IN THE DITCH

One man was killed and six were more or less seriously injured in the wreck at the East Birmingham crossing yes terday morning when Louisville ana Nashville engine struck a Southern rail- way freight train. The wreck occurred shortly after o'clock but none of the details were obtainable for an hour or two after that time.

M, Jones, Louisville and Nashville engineer, bruises and burns; Silver Harris, negro fireman for the Louisville and Nashville, bruised.
 Both the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville railroad officials state that the gate which protects the crossing was swinging across the Louisville and Nash vile track, which gives the Southern rail- way trains the right of way. The engi- neer on the Louisville and Nashville, so 1t is stated, could not see the gate or the red light on 1t, as the Southern train obstructed his view.

The Louisville and Nashville engine was small one, and was badly damaged by the accident. The Southern engine Is one of the 105-ton class, No. sos. It was knocked into a mud hole on the side of the track, and a temporary track had to be built under the engine from the Southern track down into the mud hole. The wrecker was run down on this track, lifted the monster engine on the rails and 1t was pulled on lIe iilhlli tIdch dliu to thc shopo' The work was not completed until late yesterday afternoon.
 The body of Abercrombie was sent to Villa Rica yesterday afternoon. He came to Birmingham about a year and half ago and was boarding at 2s21 Avenue F The body was taken to Lige Loy's un- dertaking establishment after 1t was taken from the wreck

Miss Bob White"

Willard Spenser's dainty comic opera Miss Bob White" returned to the Jef- ferson theatre last night without Frank Deshon. but quite as good as 1t was last season. H. Morrell Burnham proved him self to be a worthy successor to MT. De- shon, while Joseph Lighton as the Quaker l. l.. Mcclure as Artie Ire Billion. Miss Mae Phelps as Miss Bob White, and Don aid Archer as Lord Bashful were pleas antly remembered as members of last years company. In fact, the organization for this season is practically unchanged with the exception of MT. Deshon.
 The principles, with one or two exeep- tions, acquitted themselves well MISS Phelps was in excellent form and rem dered her song numbers with her acous- toned vivacity and sprightliness. MT Mcclure and MT. Burnham provoked many laughs with their comicalities, while MT. Leighton repeated his former success as Friend Samuel Rodd. The company contains several good voices, but the chorus singing was not as satis- factory as it might have been with more training and stronger voices. T. Ernest Hare possesses a magnificent baritone voice. and his song in the last act In the role of Ire Billions butler was one of the best features of the performance.
 Miss Elijah Harris became suddenly i'll during the first act and was carried from the stage. She was unable to appear dur nf ba
