BONDED INDEBTEDNESS
 IS TO BE WIPED OUT
On January 1 Birmingham Realty Go. Retires Last of It's $1,100,o0o
 Issue.

On the first day of January, 1906, tho Birmingham Realty company will wipe out It's bonded indebtedness by retiring $222000 of per cent thirty-year bonds. the last of an issue of $l 10O.O00 which was fioated when the company was organ ized five years ago to take over the hold ings and obligations of the historic Ely ton company and Elyton Land company
 The retirement of such a large amount of bonds in five years after their issue Is regarded as q master stroke of finan- ciering, but 1t Is only part of the won derful record of the Birmingham Realty company under the management of Pres- dent A. l.. Fulenwider and his board of directors. Within that time the company has reducedits preferred stock from $70O,- 900 to s425,000 and has expended half million in the improvement of its property. contributing generously all the while to every movement for the good of Birming- ham.
 The company will begin the new year free of debt and with a handsome sur plus in the treasury, and 1t will be in posi- ton to develop It's holdings on still more extensive scale and to take a larger part in tho up-building of Birmingham.
 A citizens not connected with the com pany remarked:
 Birmingham has reason to be proud of the Realty company which has done so much for the city. The ability which has marked every step of the management Is an inspiration to the other companies and corporations of the district President Fulenwider modestly disclaims any credit for the splendid record, attributing 1t all to the great development of Birmingham, but those who know the history of the company will not fall to accord him tho laures which he has so worthily won."

FIRE ENGINE HOUSE
 ON LINDEN STREET
Site Has Been Chosen By the City Wagons Have Not
 Come.

Fire engine house No will be erected on Linden street between Highland ave- nue and Niazuma street. The city has purchased lot fronting 45 feet on Linden street and running back 2GO feet for s25OO, and work on the new engine house will be begun at once. It will be known as the Linden street station. The property was purchased from the Birmingham Realty company.
 The purchase was the result of the re- cent search made by Mayor Ward and d number of councilmen for a suitable To- cation for the new hose wagon which has already been purchased for the High lands. The residents of Highland ave nue did not want the engine house on that thoroughfare and their objection caused delay. Other wards were clam- ering for the station and the Fourth ward representative in the council went so far as to say that the people in his communi- ty would erect the station at their own expense If the people of the Sixth ward did not want 1t. This statement resulted in committee making the selection of the Linden street site, which is said to be an ideal place for an engine house.
 Although Chief Walton received a let ter from the manufacturers of the two new wagons several weeks ago saying they would be shipped October Sl, nothing has been heard of them. Five thousand feet of hose has already arrived. one sta- ton Is practically completed and work on the other will be started at once, but no wagons are in sight.

ter roads would benefit country and city alike, and enhance the value of all farm and town property. and pay the state handsomely now and in the future. The policy to have the state control its conyicts Is a wise and humane one, and should be followed until every con- vict is at least fed, clothed and guarded by the state and not by private parties Immigration carefully safeguarded should be encouraged till every county i'll our state is thickly settled. Care should be exercised to see that anarchistic and degenerate scum of foreign nations is not indiscriminately dumped upon us.
 A municipal code is great need in Alabama. My experience with municipal affairs for the past ten years makes me known what such code should be, and will be valuable in its preparation. If elected I shall give my best efforts to having such a law enacted-one that will be fair and just alike to the smallest and largest municipalities in Alabama
 The office of lieutenant governor is next to the highest in the gift of the people. Any man should be proud to hold it. If elected, I pledge the people of Alabama to perform the duties of the office in such a way as to win their approval and con firm their confidence in me.

One of the exhibits in an English
anatomical museum is collection OF
three lungs preserved in alcohol. On
one hand is an exhibit almost pure
white, while the third is jet black, the
one between being a dirty gray.
The first was taken from an Eskimo
who all his life had inhaled the pure all
of his northern home. The black was
taken from miner who had spent
years in the production of coal. The
third was from the body of London
man, and the tint was produced by the
inhalation Of the SCOT carried in the
air.
1t is certain fact that the lungs of
the miner were In a more healthy state
than those of the city dweller, since
the grit In his tissues was pure coal
dust, while the discoloration of the other
was due not alone to SCOT, but to the
dust of city's streets composed of a
thousand and one deleterious elements.
