With the largest distribution in the old world will be in the German Tm- plre. Austria and Switzerland will not DC overlooked. The other half will be sent 10 the German settlements in the United States
 Birmingham and the Birmingham dis trict are especially and fully described, showing the first house, an old wooden shack, used as a blacksmth's shop, down to the present day with its ten and fif- teen-story skyscrapers. The illustrations are. in themselves. one of the most in- terestlng features in the paper, as from them 1t Is easy to learn what a thriving and prosperous city Is Birmingham. No person, seeing the pictures of the fine public buildings, churches. hotels and court houses and the great industrial plants can fall to understand the signih- canoe. The statistics of industries in the vicinity of Birmingham show the growth and development daily going on. But it is not Birmingham alone that re- ceives attention. The state of Alabama and it's natural resources, especially it's agricultural and pastoral advantages, are pointed out
 The photographer has been called in to Illustrate the pages with scenes to use the phrase taken from life. He shows the country and the country home of the in- dustrious farmer.

 Three thousand copies of the Courier will be sent to the reading rooms and agricultural societies In Germany, Aus tria and Switzerland.

Committee to Meet.

The new Jefferson county democratic executive committee elected at the recent primary. will meet tomorrow morning at the county court house to organize and hear the petition for contest filed by Judge J. P Stiles, the defeated candidate for sheriff of Jefferson county
 The meeting will be called to order by the retiring chairman, B. A. Thompson, who will also preside during the pre- liminary organization.
 Chairman Thompson is not running for reelection to the chairmanship. J. A. Ard, chairman of the subcommittee and manager of the recent campaign In the county is a candidate and will probably be elected as he has no opposition up to this time.
 Immediately after the organization of the new committee the Stiles contest will be taken up and If the committee goes into all the cases of fraudulent vot- ing that have been charged by Judge Stiles several days will be consumed in the hearing It Is understood that Col onel Higdon in reply will introduce evil dence of other irregularities not men toned in Judge Stiles petition Before entering into the consideration of the contest a motion to dismiss the petition filed by Colonel Higdon will be heard. This motion makes the claim that the Stiles petition was not legally filed with the officer designated by the state law and is therefore invalid.
