Tuberculosis Meeting.


 The interest which has been aroused by the anti-tuberculosis meeting Is far greater than had been expected when 1t was called by the leaders of the State Medical Society. If was pointed out by the speakers on Tuesday evening that she ravages of the great white plague must be fought by the people as a whole and they seem willing to accept the re- sponsibility.
 Strange as 1t may seem the first man outside the medical profession to discuss this disease in a public way is the domi- rant cause of the meeting being called to fight it. That man is Eli P. Smith of Birmingham. who made some reputation in his studies of the disease and his ex- perience in fighting 1t. He came to the State Medical association meeting in April with a paper on the subject and then urged the calling of a meeting such as was held last week. In fact. made the suggestion out of which grew the ses- sion. The physicians have gladly vel comed the laymen Into the fight and have not only given them hearty recep- ton. but provided places for them to work, indicating that they have received them into the very inner circle of con fidence and withheld nothing of their help and support from them.

When asked if he was going to make the race for the democratic nomination for governor next year he smiled and said that was too hard a question just now. He was too busy with other matters to talk along this line.
 William II. Sanford of Troy, who will be in the race for lieutenant governor, was here during the week but was not allowed to talk politics. the teachers having him in tow and requiring his time and voice wholly in favor of education. Lieuten- ant Governor Cunningham was also in the city Tuesday, giving that much Of his time to the anti-tuberculosis conven- tion He seemed happy and said that so far as he could determine he was making fine race for the governor ship.

Friend of Auburn.


 It was a source of great regret that no one came over during the week from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Au- burn, though all knew that the com mencement season was on and explained the absence of President Thach or any of his professors. Very many of the alumni of the Tech were here, however, and they did not let the interests of the school suffer. Though away in person, the Tech was discussed generally, a text being generally the rather remarkable position of Rev. Dr. John W. Stagg, of Birmingham. on the negro question, in a negative way and the announcement that Carnegie had proposed to give money for q library positively.
 The Stagg speech has been handled from both views and has been taken to show not the position of the Presbyterian church on the subject, but the individual idea of the reverend gentleman himself. So contrary to the position of many of I Is ecclesiastical associates Is the view Of Dr, Stagg that the negro, will not bear education and should be sent back to / frica, that it is quite likely that he will be answered by af least one man who has been long identified with the work in the state.

Two Lumps of Clay.

Search was made in the woods for the murdered negro's body. The grave was found almost by accident. Baldwin did his work carefully, but he made one slight mistake, which proved his undoing. This consisted in overlooking and leav- ing outside on the leaves two small Jumps of red clay. The searching party decided to dig at that spot. Sheriff Oxford ar rived on the scene while t.cy were dig ging So carefully had the negro re- placed the earth, layer for layer, in the same order as the soil around 1t, that the sheriff remarked that they were vast ing their time digging into the ground at that point In a short time the body was reached, however.
 Baldwin did not bury Scott's hat. 1t being left out in some way but took the precaution of carrying it to a distant part of the woods. -Ie used a shovel in preparing the grave. having previously placed 1t at a convenient spot where he could easily get it. without being seen.

BURIED VICTIM IN WOODS

Columbus, Ga, June 11.-(Special )--Iil1e a dime novel reads the story of the crime arrests, escape and recapture of Hop Baldwin, a yonng negro of Terrell county, Georgia. who was captured in Columbus during the past week by the local police, attired in womar's clothing, and who has since been carried back to Dawson by Sheriff J. H. Oxford
 Hop Baldwin was charged by Louis Scott another Terrell county negro. with stealing some money from him and was arrested. He was assessed bond, which he gave. He and Scott then buried the hatchet and apparently became good friends, although the court case was still pending
 On December last. some little time af- ter the prosecution was inaugurated Baldwin went to Scott and told him that his employer told him to go over into the woods to cut up some wood for him. Baldwin said he would go along and carry him to where his employer was waiting for him. Baldwin was armed with a shotgun. When he had lured the other negro into the depths of the woods he deliberately shot him. blowing the greater part of his head off

Buried His Victim.

Baldwin dug a grave for the dead negro on the spot and in doing so showed much cunning in his careful efforts to hide the existence of the grave. All the red clay was piled in a heap on one side of the grave and when tke murdered mans body was placed In the clay was carefully scraped up off the leaves and packed in the excavation, and then the top soil was thrown in loosely over that, and the whole covered with leaves and pine straw.
 Baldwin said that Scott had gone to Bronwood. On December 15 he exhibited two letters which he said he had Just received from Scott at Bronwood Ga. In one of the letters the offer was made to compromise the case against Baldwin for certain sum. A day or two later a hat was discovered out in the woods Lewis Scott's employer identified it as being that of the missing negro. Bald wins bondsmen became suspicious and surrendered him to the sheriff. The ne- gro protested his innocence

Educational Interest,

There can be no sort of doubt that the work of the teachers who gathered here during the week was far more advanced than ever before in the history of the state. Retiring President of t.e State Association H. J. Willingham pointed out several features that indicated to his mind that such was the case. In the first place the interest in the meeting on the part of the local citizens of every class was remarkable. They did not let the teachers do all of the entertaining or make up the audiences, but turned out from every walk of life to hear what there was to hear and to get some new ideas of the advancement that Is being made in the schools of the common wealth.
 And those who went to the sessions were given value received in information and ideas concerning the enterprise of education, some of the most noted men of the country contributing to the fund. The time was given largely to the rural schools, but no neglect was allowed of the higher interests in pedagogic way. A meeting was held to promote a girls dormitory at the Florence Normal, bet ter things were worked out for the girls at Montevallo, and the university was drawn closer to the hearts of the whole people by discussion of the affairs of tile grand old school and attendance of its officers

Montgomery June 11.-(Special)- 1.-The week which closed last night has been one In which the best interests of Ala bama have had fair show, and during which things that tend for the good of all the people had seven days of real advancement. Beginning with Tuesday night there was a gathering of the best medical talent of the commonwealth in meeting, attended also by leading and influential laymen, looking to organized means for the fighting of tuberculosis. Wednesday morning saw the opening and It lasted three days-of one of the most important sessions of the Alabama Educational association, and everywhere over the state there have been meet. ings, incident to the commencement sea- son. that have had the betterment of the state, in an educational way, for the chief aim.
 In other words, the things that are of greatest value seem to have had the call, though there have been more poli- ticians stirring than has been the case in the same length of time for many months. This letter, having to do with Montgomery, the state capital, can only discuss what is contained in that boun- dary, though the other meetings are of value, touching as they do the vital af- fairs of the whole citizenship.

Another Light on 1t

The growth of Birmingham and the prosperity which it's people are enjoy ing are reflected in a great many ways. Every line of business gives proof of it. Take real estate, for instance The sales of the Birmingham Realty Company for the quarter ended March 31 were, in round numbers, S120,00O. Of this amount about 80 per cent represented purchases of lots by persons who will build on them, the prices of such lots ranging from S1200 to upward of $S000.
 Other real estate companies and agents have done approximately as well, per- haps, and the aggregate of all the sales of residence property for the first quarter of this year must be very large.
 The salient fact in connection with this showing is that the people of Birmng- ham, great and small, are prosperous, and are very sensibly buying homes while the sun shines so brightly.
 The probability is that Birmingham will have a cloudless sky for years to come. The recognition of the Birming- ham district by the industrial world and the experts of the United States govern ment as the center of the manufacture of basic open-hearth steel assures the future of the Magnet City, beyond a doubt. Whether great combinations of

Realities

MT. S. F. King, president of the South
 fn Pipe and Foundry Company, North Birmingham, and MT. John P. King. sec retary of the same company, have pur- chased lots in Norwood and will build homes on them. Norwood, on account of it's accessibility and manifold attrac- tions, is the ideal residence location for officials and heads of departments in the industries of North Birmingham.
 Messrs. Joe and Lee Slaughter have purchased in Norwood and will build residences immediately. "The Placid Place is glad to have these clever gen. tlemen and their families.
 Eight modern residences are now in the course of erection in Norwood and plans are being drawn for twelve more.
 The lawns of Norwood, clothed in ten der vernal green, are we'll worth seeing.
 Norwood is now the Mecca of discrim- mating sightseers every pleasant Sunday afternoon. The ride out there and the beautiful sights are invigorating.

A Remarkable Record

A great many worthy people hesitate to buy and build on the fixed payment plans because they fear they might not be able to keep up the payments and would lose what they had paid In for the property.
 This Is a mistaken idea. In five years the Birmingham Realty Company has had to take back but one house and lot. And the company as is well known, has done a heavy business along the line of promotion of home building. The expe- rience of another large owner of property Is equally as interesting. He has sold 300 lots to home-builders of moderate or small means, and only one of these pur- chasers has had to let go Probably not one in thirty of home-builders lon the plan'' falls down.
 There is more than the acquisition of the home in this plan. It encourages self-denial and promotes those qualities of thrift which make the good and use ful citizen. And then when st is all done-al1 paid for-there is the glorious privilege of saying, "1 own my home. My wife and children have place they can call their own, place of permanent

abode, around which the tendrils of their hearts may entwine." Is not the mere suggestion inspiring?
 The Week
 The activity in the real estate market is well maintained. Inquiries for resi- dence property are growing in volume and lead the call for all other kinds. People are buying early in order to be sure that their houses will be ready when leases expire on October 1. This is the part of sagacity, for later in the season architects and contractors will be so busy they will hesitate to make guar antees as to completion of work. Among the transfers of the week are these:
 Mrs. Fannie Johnston to Mrs Kate Rittenberry, northwest corner of Second avenue and Fourteenth street, 1OOx140. Consideration, $16,000. Trade through J. D. Crosthwaite
 Robert Baugh to Mrs. Laura L. McCon- nell, 5Ox150 feet on the west side of Eigh- teenth street. fifty feet south of Fourth avenue. Consideration, $15,OO0.
 C.. E. Bowman to Birmingham Ware house and Transfer Company, 1oOx14o feet on Avenue B. between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets Consideration. 5000 The warehouse of the George Harris Transfer Company stands on this property.

industrial corporations are effected or not, capital will flow into Birmingham in steady stream and industries will null tiply and diversity, doubling the popua- tion within the course of very few years.
 That is the reason why those who are buying lots for homes now are wise. The opportunity to make selections is larger now than it will be even a few months hence, and prices are much lower than they will ever be again in the history of the city,
