Ensley. April 17.-(special.)-" "Ensley should make a united effort for the secur- ing of more large and small manufactur- ing plans" said prominent business man today
 q suppose that Ensley will naturally get it's share of the large things coming to the Birmingham district, but we should not be entirely satisfied with those things that just naturally gravitate to this see- ton. We should go out after industries that might possibly be induced to locate witt us with the proper inducements and by having been shown the advantages Of the district
 ''The best method of doing this work is through some well organized board of trade or commercial organization. At one time Ensley had well organized board of trade, which was very effective, but the people got so busy with the rapid growth of the town that they became in different to the value of the organization.
 While Ensley is prospecting as never before, and the prospects for the future are exceptionally fine, am of the opinion that an organization of the business and professional men of the city and section would be of very great value. Much more effective work can be done through organ ization and union of interests and influ- ence than by individual effort. and the

to my attention then is matter that the board of assessment, as an original proposition, should consider, it Is too late for this year. However, I am inclined to believe if the question Is a close one your commission could more nearly thrash it out than the board of assessment. You have ample time for hearings. You have a strong lawyer on your board and you have the right, under section POPS of the code. to call on the attorney general just as has the governor or any other state officer named in the section. Lest the section of the code should not be con venient to you I herewith furnish that part that bears immediately on the ques- ticn:
 o2O2S-(Attorney GeneraD His Duties.-He shall keep his office at the seat of gov ernment and perform the following duties viz:
 l. He must give his opinion in writing, or otherwise, on any question of law connected with the interests of the state, or with the duties of any of the departments, when required by the gov ernor. secretary of state. auditor, treas E urer, superintendent of education, com missioner of agriculture, examiner of public accounts, president of the con- vict bureau, state health officer, or rail- road commissioners, in writing to do so 1; and he shall also give his opinion to 
 the chairman of the judiciary commit tee of either house, when required, upon any matter under the consideration of the committee"
 You will see that you can call on the attorney general at any time just as the governor can do. You have the same right to have his assistance. All the other officers in the capitol are dependent on him for legal advice. With the legal help the board would have in MT. Sanders, to- eether with the assistance of the attor- ney general, the board will be able to determine whether the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company operate railroad within the meaning of the statute If they do operate such a rail road you will be called upon to approve or disapprove it's tariffs as Is your duty as to other roads. In case you do so de- termine that will make the line subject to an assessment by the board of assess ment for another year. suggest that in this latter event your commission fle your conclusions with the auditor as he and not the governor, is the custodian of matter intended for the determinations of the board of assessment Very truly vonrs W. D. JELKS,

FIRST SUIT BROUGHT.
Administratrx Seeks Damages for the
 Death of w. F. Morse.

Centrevlle. April 7.-(Special )The ad- mnistratrix of W. F. Morse, deceased, has brought a suit in the circuit court of Bibb county, claiming $30,0O0 damages for the death of w. r Morse, who was killed by an explosion in a mine in this county about the first of March this year. This is the first suit brought as the re- suit of the unfortunate explosion al the mines of the Little Cahaba Coal com pany at Piper, in which some dozen per- sons were killed and score or more were badly injured. It Is probable that large number of suits for damages will be brought in few days on account of said explosion.

 Car Plant Desired.
 q understand that the Southern rail- way will build q car plant somewhere in the south and is now looking for a suit able location. l understand that several towns in Alabama and Georgia are bid ding for the location and are offering Inducements. It is said that Ensley will make an effort to secure the platn, and it seems to me that right here is where we need the commercial organization. The Mayor or one or two influential citizens can represent the town and show these people the advantages of the district. but it would not be as effective as an or ganization of all the business and pro- fessional interests of the town. I believe that Ensley could get almost anything it went after if we go at it in the proper way, putting the prestige and influence of the whole town behind every propo- sition that is made"

From here he went to Vinemont and Holmes Gap, two villages north of here. to settle a long standing dispute over the location of the railroad depot. It appears that an agreement was reached that the present depot should be changed to midway between the two towns.

 Plated Sad Irons BIG SALE OF REAL ESTATE Southern Railway to lnaugurate Differ ent Schedule and Route-Connect-

BIG SALE OF REAL ESTATE

North Birmingham. April l7.-(Special) Thomas Peryis, formerly of Selma, has secured a fine tract of land on Twenty seventh avenue between Twentythird and Twenty-fourth streets, and is beginning the erection of a plant for the manufac- ture of nickle-plated sad iron. The tract embraces one-half of a block in the center of the town with a 400 foot front age on the Belt railroad.
 It is understod that the new manufac- tory will be fully equipped for carrying out all the details of the industry, such as molding and pattern making. It will give employment to a considerable force of men when completed. which 1t is ex- pected will be within the next few months.
 Real estate continues quite active. In addition to the sale of q number of res idence lots, deal of considerable impor- tanee was carried through today. This was the transfer of ten acres of land on the southern boundary of the town near the new pipe works by J. J, Kimbrough to James Hood. The consideration was $6ooo. The new owner will subdivide the plot into lots and open it up for the home seeker
 Railway circles show a tendency to keep up with the other developments of the town It is now almost q certainty that the Southern railway will soon in- augurate a new schedule on their road. which will give North Birmingham direct connection with Selma. Meridian and other southern points The company will use the spur recently built around by Ensley and Bessemer and abandon the tracks of fthe Alabama Great Southern to Mobile junction, which was the route formerly employed for getting out of the district
 The commodous freight depot of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company is now finished, and it is thought that it will give the people an excellent freight service.
