President Motion RepIles.

The following letter has been written in reply by President Notion:
 Birmingham, Ala, July IS, 1905. Hessrs. Hinds Peevey and E. T. Shaw,
 City
 Gentlemen: Replying to your letter of this date beg to say that it never oc- cured to me that any one would suppose that either of you would devote your valuable time in soliciting new members for the Commercial club except to pro- mote the interest of the club. and thereby increase the struggle and possibilities of this organization to advance every inter r- est in Birmingham. The fact is that the club has made a mistake in not having a membership committee before. This has been manifested by the number of new members already secured by your com mittee. It Is as such the duty of one business man as another to unite and to- gether do all that is possible to build up the city in all lines. Many good men are too modest to solicit membership in any organization of men, whether social or business, and it is altogether proper for some one to see such men and ex- tend an invitation Others not so modest, are busily engaged and a reminder to join the club and contribute their part towards united efforts to build Birming- nam is all that Is necessary.
 My only object Is offering a prize to the captain of the successful team was to get up a little rivalry which I thought might make each member of the commit tee more active in extending invitations. We-~want 1000 members in the club and then we will be in a position to accom- plsh much
 l respectfully withdraw my proposition. Yours truly, T. H. MOTION.

]. B. C0BBS FALLS
 FROM STREET CAR
IS PAINFULLY BRUISED ABOUT THE HEAD AND FACE, BUT RE- PORTED TO BE RESTING WELL FEW HOURS LATER.

J. B. Cobbs, president of the Citizens Savings bank, fell or was thrown from North Highlands car while in motion at the corner of Nineteenth street and Eighth avenue last night at o'clock, and was painfully bruised about the head and face.
 An ugly gash was cut ac.'oss his temple, but 1t is not thought 10 be of serious nature. though the blood flowed freely for awhile. MT. Cobbs vas unconscious for some minutes after the accident.
 Passengers who were on the car state that MT. Cobbs stepped from the rear platform just before the car stopped. and was thrown forcibly to the ground. Some say that his umbrella which he carried in his hand got caught between his legs as he stepped off and caused him to fall. The umbrella was bent, indicating that this theory was correct.
 Shaw & Sons ambulance was called at once but before 1t arrived MT. Cobbs was carried to his home about a block away, where his bruises were dressed.
 He was reported to be resting comfort ably at a late hour last night.

WALDROP HEARS
 FROM NEW ORLEANS
SECRETARY WRITES FAvoRABLY OF CRESCENT CITY ORDINANCE REQUIRING STREET CARS TO SPRINKLE TRACKS.

William J. Waldrop. chairman of committee appointed by the East Lake council to push the matter of request ing the Birmingham Railway, Light ana Power company to sprinkle the tracks on the East Lake line. is in receipt or a letter from the secretary to the mayor of New Orleans.
 The letter, which gives the opinion or Mayor Behrman of New Orleans that tracks can be sprlnlSled without deiay to traffic or heavy expense, follows:
 'sNew orleans. La, July N- .Hon-W. J. Waldrop. Birmingham, Ala. ::
 Dear Sir-Replying to your laVor ol recent date, in re: spfinkling Of street ear tracks here. am directed by the mayor to say that the city council or New orleans few years ago adopted an ordinance requiring the street car comma nies to sprinkle their tracks ana one foot on each side of the tracks in manner sufficient to cover the dust.
 '.The ordinance was attacked in the courts and finally sustained It's opera ton has proved most benehcient, pelhs . nrofection not only to the passengers and to the residents along the line, but also we should judge, to the cars and motors be contributing to their Deing kept cfean. l..
 ''The service of the sprinkiing cars m no way interferes with the regular pas seneer service, in view of the fact that the sprinkler, not being required to stop for passengers. can proceed right SLOW. and can always keep well in advance or the cars behind them.
 ''As far as this city is concerned the ordinance is properly enforced and has proved of great benefit Yours very truly, w;
 "secretary to the Mayor"
 It is probable that as a result or the encouraging letter from the Crescent City an effort will be made to have tracks of the local system sprinkled. The East Lake board of aldermen would nave included all the lines in their re- quest, but they did not consider that they had authority on any but the East fake line. The woodlawn council has sisnifed it's intention of cooperating with East Lake, and Mayor Ward has also stated that he would be glad 10 assist in the movement. The advantages of the custom of sprinkling the tracks as given in the letter from New or- leans are the findings of three years practical test of the plan

 The taking of the school census re- quires a large amount of work, as the name of every child of school age and the name of their parents must be noted

 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"I had eczema on my hands for ten years. At first it would break out only in winter. Then it finally came to stay. 1 had three good doctors to do all they could, but none of them did any good l then used one box of Cuti- cura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and was com pletely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before had used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. together with the Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time l had used the third bottle, l was entirely well had good appetite and was feshier than 1 ever was. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to fool with nothing else, but to get Cuticura and get well quicker than all the doc tors in the State can cure you.

 The Letter.
 Birmingham Ala, July IS, 190o MT. T. H. Motion, the Commercial club,
 Birmingham, Ala
 Dear sir: Your favor of late date with reference to the work of the clubs mem bership committee received. We note with pleasure the substantial manner in which you have shown your interest and appreciation 1t is in accordance with your well-known generosity. But we would greatly prefer your withdrawing this prize feature of the canvass for the following reasons:
 l. The personnel of your committee IS unanimous in the desire to demonstrate to the club and the general public that whatever good may accrue from this can- vass their labor has been discharged from no other incentive than that prompted by the cause of an unselfish public service
 9 We believe that our efforts for new members will be largely nullifed by a prize being offered in that our solicita- tions to the public will be construed as a personal gain. Many citizens whom we hope to gain are at present strangers to us, or, at most, mere aoquaitances, and as you can see are under no obligations to us to advance any personal interest of ours
 3. Nor are we willing to be put in the attitude of obligating ourselves in per- sonel relations in the discharge of a pure ly public duty.
 Thanking you in advance for your con- sideration of this communication. and hoping that you will see the situation as we see it, we remain, Yours very truly, HINDS PEEVEY. E 1T SHAW

anee people will request of the Council but 1t is rumored that they will ask for the election of some man outside the de- pertinent. One rumor has it that ex- Chief of Police C. W. Austin may be recommended for the position.
 While the action of the insurance agents changes the situation to some extent, it Is the opinion of many that the Council will name MT. Mullins suc- cessor at the meeting tonight. Mir. Null lin will ask that his resignation take effect August 1, and it may be deemed necessary that the Council take some action in the matter at once.
 The public mind seems to be settled upon William P. Walton as the most probable successor to Chief Mulln. It Is understood that the insurance men have no particular objection to him. and 1t is possible that he will be their final choice.
