STORY OF PLUCK IN
WINNING SUCCESS
One Man Becomes independent
on Small Salary
is A CAR CONDUCTOR
The Birmingham District Offers Elk
eeptlonaI Opportunities for the
Young Man of Energy
and Ambition.
BY WALTER HARPER.

A few Sundays ago l published an in
terview with a gentleman showing how
one man with a small family managed
to buy home, live comfortably and save
little money on a salary of $40 per
year.
Since the publication of the article my
attention has been called to a number
of instances of equal success by young
men in the Birmingham district. Indeed,
I have been cited to one man who has
become, in a small way, independent on
the moderate wage of street railway
conductor, which averages, I am told,
about s62 so per month or $3.50 per year
This man is said to be worth more than
$4,000 in cash and propertr, and has
made 1t all since he has been a conduc-
tor In this city. He still holds the same
position on one of the interurban lines
of the Birmingham Railway. Light and
Power company and is one of the COM
pany's most trusted and reliable en-
ployes.
He owns considerab BILE property in one
of the suburbs of the city besides val
liable farm in South Alabama.
He has an average family and 16 year
old daughter is now well on her way
through the preparatory schools and will
complete her education in one of the
leading colleges in the country.
This man had practically nothing. 1t is
stated when he came to Birmingham a
few years ago and secured employment
with the railway company. BY hard work
and careful economy, coupled with good
Judgment he has been able to lay aside
a small nest egg that has increased UNI
Ill today Mr. Conductor is one of the
most successful men In the suburb In
which he lives.
This man. of course, has not accu-
nulated his money and property from his
salary alone.
In the beginning he adopted the wise
rule of living within his income and lay
ing by small margin from every month 8
salary.
These small savings we're invested in
property a little at a time, in the Biz
mingham district Property values in
creased: he sold at a profit and invested
again Each month he saved a little
from his salary and added 1t to his in
vestment Appropriation.
All this time he and his family lived
comfortably but not extravagantly. He
was not a stingy man but gave a rea-
sonable amount of money to the support
of the church and other worthy social
Institutions. He is an officer in the church
IL which he belongs and responds 1iber-
ally to every call on his earthly means.
While there are but few that have
succeeded as this man | learn that quite
a number of the employees of the street
railway are following the example OF the
man described.
On small salaries many of them are

In order to reach the new terminal pas
senger station along Twenty-seventh
street. It will not be going over new
ground SO far as street car line Is
concerned. In fact one of the first street
car lines laid in Birmingham was out
sixth avenue as far as Twenty-sixth
street thence to Seventh avenue termi-
mating at the corner Of Twenty-seventh
street and Seventh avenue, which was
then the city limits. This horse car line
went to Elyton. and the heaviest traffic
1t had was hauling school children from
all over the western part of the city to
the old box-shaped Powell school. which
was then the only public school in Bir-
mingham.
AS reward for merit certain pupils
of the old Powell school were given
monthly passes on this horse car line In
those days They would ride In the aft
ernoon and on Saturdays.

ACADEMY NOTES


Matthews has always had large
representation in the academy and
IN recent conversation with
Bishop Larson, we find that the
educational life of that enterpris-
ing little ward is not tagging.
This year one of Matthews own
boys will teach their school. He
has been attending the academy
during the past two years and
made good use of his time, which
we are glad to say, is general
characteristic of the Matthew
students.
Remember Sunday night, An
gust 18Th, we hold Il meeting at
Pima, to which we invite all
friends Of education. Last year
Pima stood next to Thatcher in
her representation in school. This
was certainly good showing for
Pima as Thatcher has the advan
tage Of all outlying towns. From
what we can CLEAN from old
students and Bishop Merrill, Pima
is going to make strong effort to
MAINTAIN her standing the coming
year,
Can Bryce afford to be without
representation 10 the academy this
year? Last year Bryce was the

only ward in the valley not repre-
sented.
The academy is open to al
students of good character, Nor
| mons or non Mormons. All are
made welcome. Non-Mormons are
not required to take any work in
theology. This is optional with
them.
Prof. Clayton is working hard
in Layton, Stafford and towns up
the valley and no doubt we will
have good returns from these
towns. He informs us that Walter
Tidwell of Lone Star, intends 10
be with us again. We also hope
to see Alfred Johnson back again.
Come on, boys, and bring more
who are just as good.
We as yet have not heard what
Duncan is going to do. Do not
know whether the load stone
across the mountains will prove
too much for Charley and pull
him the other way. He managed
TO return from a recent trip. lhii
is encouraging.
Hello st. David! How is all
over there? No doubt you will
have wIde-awake delegation this
year. The Curtis family always
has a large representation; last
year four of that FIRMLY were with
US. Miss Miller, Miss Sabin and
Bert, we hope TO see you again
this year.
Don't forget that August 9th is
almost here.
Brother Baird has been very
lonesome during the summer, but
is now all smiles with the happy
anticipation of meeting the stud
ents so soon He is endeavoring
to make conditions about the cold
academy" as pleasant as possible
Remember, boys, we will have
ample grounds for sports this year,
We ought to have the best base
ball nine in the valley the coming
year.
Miss Haywood is with us and
will give lessons en- guitar, mando.
lin and violin; SO we ought to have
fine orchestra this winter. Boys
if you don't take violin lessons
this winter there isn't much snap
IN you; if you don't the principal
IS apt to, if if somebody will
get Mrs. Peterson's consent.

an injunction against the mayor and

ment of a million dollar subsidy to

Did you know, said James that
you have iathored a bill under which
any criminal or any deiendan, IN
civil suit could walk out of a state
court upon his own motion. 2
Mr. Hughes didn't know much
about the bill and was not strong on
the Federal Constitution.
Under that bill, exclaimed Mr..
James "a negro in Southern state
mi sht commit assault, and on his un.

take all suits for damages, even for
