Gray. Tt is a vast traffic producer and will always occupy a commanding posi- tion in the railroad world.
 When crops are full our lines are taxed in moving them; but frequently the harvests are small and then business, as a matter of course, falls off.
 "One reason why Birmingham is SC attractive to the railroads Is because pro- ductlon here goes without any per- ceptble variation. The price of coal, and the price of iron may move up and down but the output Is practically the same We, therefore, count on this district as a certainty. It is great mainstay and that being so the Frisco Go. is constant ly striving to improve it's facilities and give Birmingham shippers the best possi- ble service.'
 With regard to car shortage Mir Gray said that manufacturers of rolling stock was working night and day to fill their orders, but that owing to the enormous traffic in sight in every section of the country it might be difficult to get all the cars needed later in the year The present prospects, he observed, was un- precedented.

TRIP IS PROPOSED.
Sanitary Commission Will Not Inspect
 Plant This Week.

The Jefferson county sanitary com. mission has decided to wait unti1 after the Presidents visit before making the proposed trip down the Valley Creek division of the county sewer which was completed few days ago, for in- specting the purification plant Lear Bcss emer.
 It was first proposed to make the inspection tour of the sewers this week, but as number of the conimis- sioners are members of the committee on the reception and entertai ament of President Roosevelt and are engaged this week in arranging tho details of the reception, it was deemed best to postpone the trip. .
 The commission will probably go to Bessemer about November l and in- spect the sewers.

had perfect right to adopt it and force all companies to comply.
 After MT Duncan withdrew, Mir. Jemi- son took the floor. He declared that such an ordinance had never been imposed on any electric light and power company in any city the size of Birmingham, and :hat its adoption would cripple needed develop ments. It would cost half. million dol lars to make the change and this great expense In the face of a reduction of the price of electricity, he said, would take away about $40,O0O annually from the company's income, was asking too much of the company. Besides this, he said. the company had been called on to pay for much street improvement, and would be called on for greater expenditures as other streets are paved.
 Not a man has been killed oy a feed wire in the proposed underground district this year." said Mir. Jemison, aand 1 think the money can be expended in many better ways New lines are needed, whish will naturally develop new territory. We have progressive city, and I think you are fortunate in having a power com pany to keep up with you"
 Alderman Neal didn't see the neces- sity of placing an extra burden on the railway company and moved that it be excluded. His motion prevailed, and the words light, power and feed wires" were stricken from the ordinance, but not be- fore Alderman Gray had expressed him self In no uncertain terms against 1t. He said the committee was voting to leave out the very kind of wires that should be placed under ground. As. MT. Duncan had complained about the time, 1t was further amended by extending the time of going into effect to January 1, 19O7.

WIRES OF
 STREETCAR COMPANY

The underground wire ordinance has been adopted by the City Council. Before reaching that body, however. it was amended to exclude electric light, power and feed wires. The time of going into ef- feet was also changed from twelve months to January l. 1907. The subject was not discussed in council last night. the re- port of the judiciary committee being unanimously adopted.
 At committee meeting at o'clock in the afternoon, however, there was con- siderable opposition to the ordinance. J. M. Stephens, superintendent of the West ern Union, and S. A. Duncan, assistant superintendent of the Postal Telegraph company, both from Atlanta, being pres ent to argue against the passage. Robert Jemison, president of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, was also present, and made a talk which re- suited in the amendment exemptng his company.
 When the question was brought up, MT. Duncan of the Postal was the first to speak. He asked for information about thc significance of the ordinance, and said that twelve months was very short 1ime for company to complete such big undertaking. He was told that after the conduits were laid 1t would not be neccs- sary to get further permits for laying cables, the burden of his talk being that it took a long time to get big cables made to order. MT. Duncan held that the ordi- nance should be amended so as to make 1t subject to the signatures of the com panies it involved before put on final passage. City Attorney Smith said 1t was a police ordinance. and that the council

All Worthy Men Meet Opposition.

It is no discredit to Il man to
have opposition, says an OK
change. Many men hes itate to
adopt any course that will call
forth the opposition of any person
because they do not want en-
emies. The world is full of en-.
vious people. Some people hate
a man because he is successful
in business, or occupies a promin-
ent position in the social circles
Of the community. People have
no animosiUy toward the quiet,
unassuming man who offends no
one or gets in ones way. 1t is the
man with push and energy who
is fearless in the discharge OF his
obligations in any station of life
who has enemies, but blessed be
he for he is usually the man with
principle, The poorest excuse
of a man is he who is generally
beloved and has no enemies"
To say that of u man is simply to
declare in genteel terms he has
no backbone" whatever; that
he is so lacking in moral courage
that he would never dare say his
soul was his own. Such men
consider themselves extremely
popular, but their popularity is
only a bubble-nothing more.
That class of men are afraid to
have any other than the puny
emotions and true friendship is too
rugged for them. They have no
enemies, but it is just as true they
have no friends. It is the man
who has "iron" in his soul, who
knows not the meaning of fear or
failure, who has high ambitions
and achieves them in spite Of
ambition--it is such as he who
will have staunch friends, and
bitter enemies, too. But his
comfort will be that his enemies
are not good men.
