DRENNEN QUITS THE TRUSTEE BUSINESS  Washes His Hands of Booker
 Washington's School QUESTION OF EQUALITY Former Mayor Couldn't Stand for sar- atoea lncident--story of How MT.
 Drennen Was Appointed
 Tuskeaee Trustee.
QUESTION OF EQUALITY

W. Melville Drennen, the former mayor of Birmingham and prominent figure in the political life of Alabama. has. In iotter addressed to Booker T. Washing ton, resigned his position as trustee of the Tuslegee Normal and Industrial school.
 Here is a copy of the letter sent by MT. Drennen to Principal Washington
 Birmingham. August IS. 1905. Prof. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee.-
 T regret exceedingly that I cannot con sistently serve longer as one of the trus- tees of TuslSegee Normal and Industrial school, and 1 now tender my resignation. Yours truly,
 "WALTER MELVILLE DRENNEN."
 Though Mir. Drennen has not yet taken occasion to supplement his brief letter of resignation with q statement setting out the reasons for ths action on his part. it is well understood that his letter was precipitated by reason of the fact that the principal of the negro school at Tuskegee had recently accepted attention from northern white people which tended to sanction and encourage the Idea of social equality between the two races.
 Mr. Drennen was appointed trustee of Tuskegee last spring, soon after his re- turn from Washington, where, with other citizens of Birmingham he had gone to Invite the President to visit this city on his southern trip this fall. On the way to Washington MT. Drennen had occasion to travel on the same train that carried Booker Washington thither. and the two men met informally on the train and exchanged conventional greetings When MT. Drennen came back to Birmingham. he made public an interview in which he said that he had gone to Washington feeling that President Roosevelt was un- conth and irrational. and returned home satisfied that no finer gentleman ever slept in the White House.
 Shortly after the publication of tqhe in- tervfew in praise of the President, MT. Drennen was elected a trustee of the negro school at Tuskegee.
 Other Alabama men on the board of trustees are: W. W. Campbell and T. E. Dryer. both of whom live in the town of rnskegee. MT Campbell is @ son of the late c. ". Campbell. who was for many years a trustee of the negro school.

SWITCHMAN HURT
 BY FREIGHT ENGINE
LOCOMOTIVE LEFT THE TRACK AT TENTH AVENUE AND TWENTY THIRD sTREET-J. N. HAWKINS WAS INJURED.

A freight engine of the Seaboard left the track yesterday afternoon at s.25 o'clock on tho Belt road at Tenth avenue and Twenty-third street Switchman J. N. Hankins, who at the time of the accident, was riding on the front of the engine, was the only person injured. He was taken to the Hillman hospital in Green & Co.'s ambulance. At late hour last night it was reported that his in- juries were not serious.
 No bones were broken, but Mir. Han kins received several severe sprains and bruises. It was thought at first that he was injured internally. but the physi- clans at the hospital found that such was not the case.
 No cause for the derailment can be assigned unless 1t was the result of spreading rails. The engine left the track almost at right angles with 1t. The front wheels of freight car being pulled by the engine were carried off. but the car was not damaged. The engine and tender left the track entirely.

UNDERWOOD WILL WORK
 FOR FEDERAL BUILDING

serves to receive million dollar ap- proprlation for federal building. but I realize that it will be inexpedient to apply for so large an appropriation until after the census of 1910. In other words, we must wait five years before we can get what we really deserve. This Is due to the fact that the census of 1900. upon which appropriations are based. gives to Birmingham a population of only ss,ooo. whereas in reality there is a population within the natural if not the corporate limits of tho city of 125,00o
 'I believe that before 1910 all the su- burbs of Birmingham will be consoli- dated with the present city into Greater Birmingham, and that i've years hence we can go before Congress and ask for an appropriation based upon a great pop ulation. When we do that we may req sonably expect to get an appropriation of s1,0O0.O0
 Tn the meantime our people must bs satisfied with q temporary enlargement of the federal building
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-08-20

Oscar ". Underwood. the representative in Congress from this district. talked in- terestingly yesterday of the probable im- provements in the federal building in Birmingham.
 At the last session of Congress" said Mir. Underwood. "a bill appropriating s25,- 900 for an annex in the rear of the Bir- mingham federal building passed the House of Representatives but was killed in the Senate. It gave me satisfaction and pleasure to introduce that bill, for I knew that the constantly increasing business in the district required that we enlarge the federal building here. l re- gret that the bill failed of passage in the Senate.
 At the earliest practicable moment af- ter Congress convenes, shall Introduce a similar bill, and I am confident 1t will be passed and signed by the president. This bill will provide for an enlargement of the federal building to meet the tenn porary needs of the city and district

the ordinanceg It Is grave question and should have the serious oonsidera- tion of the court before 1t is passed upon.
 In his closing argument on behalf of the city, Ed Smith. city attorney held that the charter did not confine itself to an ordinance prohibiting the admixture with milk of of a deleterious substance. Conceding for the sake of argument, MT. Smith said, that the question was equally balanced as to whether boracic acid adulterated milk, that experts differed and that learned physicians differed as to whether 1t was an adulteration of milk to put boracic acid in it, the charter fur ther granted the power of preventing the sale of impure foods. MT. Smith here read Websters definition of the word i'm pure," and eontended that 1t showed that any mixture of any foreign substance with milk rendered 1t impure, and tfes1sore the city ordinance was valid. The powers con- ferred upon the municipal authorities, by virtue of the charter. showed that the ordinance was fully within the scope of its powers.
 City Has Power.
 Besides, MT. Smith argued. there was another provision in the charter over looked by the gentleman for the defense, 1t being that comforting upon the mayor and aldermen the power to pass ordi- nances to protect the health and morals of the citizen, and 1t would be permitting the practice of bad morals by the dairymen to kI as contained foreign substances and which was Impure under Webster's definition of that word.
 MT. Smith stated that the ordinance fur ther specified that the health of the com munity should be protected, and this ordinance should be upheld and the de- fendants convicted. The ordinance was aimed to protect the health of the citizen and tho evidence given by all witnesses for the defendant showed that boracic acid in rosik was injurious to the health. There was a vast difference. Mir. Smith said between giving the benefit of the doubt as to facts to the defendants and giving them the benefit of the doubt as to the lew. The law was clear that milk containing boracic acid is impure milk, he said, and in order to be impure it was not necessary for 1t to be adulterated. It was the sworn duty of the court to en- force the law, and there could be no doubt as to what the law was, although there might be a doubt as to facts.
 At the conclusion of MT. Whites argu- ment. Judge Feagin rendered his decision as given above.

 Local real estate has been in a steady demand for the past week and the prices have been firm. which tho facts go to- gether to make good market.
 "While no large detals have been transacted the number of smaller ones have been very large. The activity in ths business portion shows a considerable decrease, this however being the result of the small supply. Taking the market as q whole I think that 1t is very prom ising"

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

One of the most active weeks in the local real estate market for the last three or four months ended yesterday. The market opened Monday with an unusual number. of sales. considering ths fact that 1t was the first day of the week and throughout the entire week the mar ket continued very active.
 The demand for property all over the city has been active but large pro- portion of the inquiries have had to go unified on account of the shortage of the supply. Business property, as has been the case for several months, has been especially in demand but little is put on the market.
 The activity of the market during the past week has been mostly in tho small deals, these being almost entirely in the residence portions of the city.
 The prices have been firm and they show considerable advance in the past few months. The advance Is confined to no special section of the city, but all local real estate is growing more valuable as the year advances.

ADVANTAGES OF FRUIT CULTURE
A Paper by Parker Earle, of Roswell,
Read at Farmers Congress at
Amarillo, Tex. Aug. II.

There are two vast districts of ag-
ricultural country in the United
States, which God never clothed with
forests. Each of them is big enough
for a group of European kingdoms.
The first is the far stretching prairie
region of the Mississippi Valley
States. 1t is the great corn-field and
wheat-field of the. American continent
This region regulates the cereal food
supply of the world. 1t is a country
of wonderful richness of soil, and is
for the growth of the leading staples
of the farm. This immense territory
is but moderately lifted above the sea
the average altitude being some six
or seven hundred feet. 1t has a hui
mid climate which favors the growth
of all kinds of vegetation, and espec-
tally of the lower microscopic forms,
as the mildews, rusts, rots, SHUTS,
scabs and blights, which are known
as diseases of the vegetable world, be
cause they prey upon and destroy the
useful plants and crops which man
produces.
This humidity of climate which pre-
walls over the central States makes
the growing of all farm crops easy;
but also fosters every kind of vege-
table pestilence which worries and
exasperates the life of the farmer IN
all that most notable farm region of
the world. This same climate which
makes agriculture so easy, and yet 50
hard, is also the parent of most of
the diseases which af1ict the people
who live in it. Malaria turks in all
those rich moist fields, while fevers,
catarrhs, rheumatisms, and tubercu-
losis are forever lowering in that con-
stantly moisture laden atmosphere.
The second great treeless region of
his continent, which the Creator left
unsheltered from sunshine and storm
is that immense territory of dry plains
which he lifted up some three to five
thousand feet above the level of the
ocean away above the attitudes Of
hloiSIuIe, anu CoHeTeu Win d
climate that is predominantly, dry;
where all vegetation makes smaller
growth N needs artificial moisture
to make good crops and where the
multitude of germs and microbes and
parasitic fungi which constitute
the incurable evils of agriculture, have
almost no existence at all.
This second grand division of the
treeless plains region of this CONT
nent embraces perhaps, as much ter
ritory as the first. The entire Rocky
Mountain system is its western bor
der and wind break. To the rich zone
of cornfields it presents a striking and
wonderful contrast. Both have soils
