THREE-CAR SCHEDULE
TO BECOME PERMANENT
After Experiment of Three Weeks,
Tri-City Company to Continue
Longview Fast Service.

Tomorrow the three-car schedule of
the Longview line will become perma-
nent. the company's test since Oct. 8
having resulted in this decision on the
part of the officials. Under the three
car schedule the cars are allowed %
minutes to make the run from one end
to the other. in order to keep up the
l5-minute trips. People along the line
are generally of the opinion that the
schedule is too fast, and il is likely to
result in accidents. The new arrange
ment is inconvenient TO passengers
who transfer on the Elm street line at
Thirtieth street, as the Elm street and
the Longview cars, which formerly
made connections. are now seven min
utes apart at the transfer point
The experiment was made with d
view TO eliminating one car, and finding
this possible by means of fast run
the company has made the three-car
schedule permanent from Nov. l. and
the changes in runs have been assign
ed accordingly.

BIG BOSTON STORE EXPANDS
Harmed & Won Maur Forced to Secure
More Floor Space to Accommodate
Increasing Trade

The growth of the business of the
Boston store. Davenport, this year. has
been such as to compel Harmed & Won
Maur to make arrangements to eXpan-
sion, and this has been effected by the
lease of the Wiese block on Harrison
street in the rear of the store. and
il will be only a short time before the
Boston store will spread out of its own
large building into this annex. And
from the rate of the growth of the
business this year it is evident that
this is only an incident in the program
of expansion which the store will have
20 adopt. The Wiese building will be
used for jobbing purposes and 10 help
house the stores reserve stock. which
has heretofore occupied the third floor
of the Boston store. With the removal
effected. the entire third floor will be
added 10 the retail department of the
store. giving additional floor space O.
S6x15O. which is eight times as much
on that floor alone, as the Boston store
had when il started az Second and
departments of the store will then be
moved 10 the third floor. and the pres
ent big cloak department will be dou-
bled in size. space 40x150 feet. max

 Leaving out of consideration such testimony as might be given by pre- sumably interested parties, like the steamship agents, 1t clearly has been shown that the arriving immigrants are not the scum" of Europe.

Fur thermore. the increase Is not as large as assumed. because, wEile In the TOUT ports of New York, Boston, PhlIade4- phia and Baltimore last year there were 6s3,0O0 arrivals. 359,O00 people depart ed in the steerage.

 Recently Rev. George E. Brewer, chaplain of the State Convict Depart ment, contributed to the Department of History and Archives in q manu- script form an interesting sketch Of Mir Crawford. It is as follows:
 Daniel Crawford was very modest man, yet such was his force of charac- ter. and he was of such fine practical mind and solid attachments, that he was known and honored not only in his County. but also in the State. He discharged the duties imposed on him in the various offices held by him so as to have the hearty approval of his con- stituents.
 He was a native of North Carolina, and came to Alabama about 1888, set ting first in Autauga. and was con- nected in the mill business below Pratt vile, with MT. John McNell, d wealthy bachelor. whose niece MT. Crawford married. He went to Goldsville, Tal- lapoosa County, about the time of the Coosa County about 1S40. and bought a good farm, putting up fine mill on Jacks Creek which ran through the farm.
 Tn 1S47 he and Captain Samuel Speigner represented the County in the House. at the first session held at Montgomery. He was nominated over Colonel William Garrett for the Senate
 in 1857, and was elected In 1865 he was a delegate to the convention to 1 form a new constitution after the war 1 He was again sent to the House in 1871.
 He was elected State Treasurer of

peace and harmony, but in mutual high regard and genuine friendship.
 Last Saturday morning it was learn ed that Frank Howell, an old and highly respected colored citizen, had died suddenly that morning at the home of his sister In this city. The news was not told alone by the col ored citizens nor was sincere expres- sions of sympathy confined to them, but every white citizen, particularly those who are old residents, were fore most in voicing their genuine regret that so good citizen as Frank Howell should have passed away.
 As the day wore on citizens coming to their work would be asked: Have you heard that Frank Howell died last night?" The reply was always one of surprise and sorrow.
 It was not long before Chief Mon nier was going around notifying the Confederate Veterans to meet at 10 o'clock Sunday morning and attend the funeral services of this good and faith full servant and white mans friend. The result was that in the funeral procession that followed his body to the grave. by far the greater portion was composed of his white friends. Congressmen, lawyers, doctors, drug gists, merchants, nverymen, and in fact all vacations of life were represented nor was the presence of ladies want ing, for at the church a number of them was assembled, testifying in the most pronounced manner the high es- teem won by this colored man, who, never being carried away by false doc trines, had always hung. unfalteringly to the white people, and never a mo- ment did he regret 1t, for never a | moment in his whole life has he felt the bitterness of want or the lack of | a friend among them On all occa- sions, picnics barbecues. political gath erings, or what not, Frank Howell was i not forgotten, and he enjoyed these attentions without ever q scintilla of silly and fallacious desire to get out of his sphere The result was liv- ing testimonial of the true solution of the race problem
