man, OF natural strength and without any
dangerous organic weakness. should come
out OF the hardest fight with nothing
worse than cuts and bruises and gem
eral soreness.
In this case there have been 30 many
stories out about tho cause OF Tcnny's
death. and what should or should not
have been done. that It is hard 10 arrive
at any conclusion as to the blame In the
matter. The autopsy developed the fact
that Harry had an athletic heart. but
that 1t was not the cause OF his death.
Hemorrhage OF the brain. caused by
blow or fall. was the cause the DOCTORS
gave.
The doctors are right, ! guess: but Just
the same nobody with an athletic heart"
has any business In n prize fight. In
this instance the doctors say 1t did not
cause his death. but from the terrible
grueiling he got and fast pace of the
fight: 1t Is wonder that It didn't.
Roche has been given a good deal of
blame. all OF 1t, perhaps. not deserved.
OF course, after Tenny was dead 1t was
very easy to cay that Roche should have
stopped IT, but just the same there would
have been an awful roar from more than
half the house II he had sent the boy
TO his corner as long MS the worst fan In
the house thought that he had chance
TO win. q
Tennv was counted out. 1t is true. but
Roche argues that he had his legs gath
cred up under him. and he wanted to
give the boy every chance that was
coming to him. Everybody that has seen
fights has seen scrappers In as hard
shape as Tenny looked to be In that
round come through the round all right.

later
,renny was fine little fellow. and was
very popular here. His death has caused
all the greater turmoil on that account

Notice that Jack O'Brien is getting a
lot Of space In the eastern papers ngur-
Ing out how he can beat Jeffries or
course he has to have lot OF space,
as this takes lot OF figuring. Jack has
it all figured out this way:
Fitz. in his last fight with JEFF had his
face all cut up and his eyes closed in
seven rounds. Jack Is twice as fast as
Fitz. he says. and can therefore close up
both of the big fellows lockers In half the
time or at least, as quickly. ,.
& man lighting without the use OF his
eyes isn't much good. and then all Jack
would have to do would be to set himself
and soak the big guy six or seven hard
ones on the Jaw. and-Hail the new

Dundee Is the only port in the Brit.

One Thousand Houses Needed.

While Jefferson county built 1000 houses a year the supply of roofs and shelter was reasonably sufficient, but as soon as the pace of construction fell off a house famine began to be felt. It was apparent on October l, and on April 1 it promises to become acute.
 The decrease in construction was due to the sharp advances in lumber, and, in fact, in all other building ma terials, and in labor also The cost of building was advanced at least 20 per cent, and in some cases even 50 per cent. would not cover the in creased expense. This led many to postpone plans, and the result is a scarcity of houses In every part of Jones Valley.
 No doubt efforts will be made to meet the demand on April 1, but the chances largely are that IL Will at that time outrun the supply unless, indeed, we have winter favorable to the carrying on of building plans. An open winter would handsomely in crease the number of houses between the present time and April 1, which is now Moving Day.
 As things stand this valley needs to- day one thousand more houses. It needs one thousand comfortable homes so that the shacks and crowded tene' ments can be, to some extent at least depopulated Everything that has a 1 roof is occupied today, and many of 1 the places are not fit habitations for human beings. An addition of one 1 thousand houses is needed to relieve present congestion and to provide against an increase of it on Moving Day.

Neglected Suggestions.

"A few days ago l read in the lobby column a complaint by citizen about the names on street cars" said resident in the suburbs, "and I wish to say that heartily agree with him.
 q would like to know whether the Bir mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany ever consider the convenience of the public or whether it only thinks of col lecting fares
 "EVen in the day time 1t Is no easy matter to distinguish one car from an other, the names are so small and so badly set out. I stand at the Woodward corner every evening to catch my car and 1t Is no uncommon thing for me to be asked by twenty people What car is that coming up nowT
 q have known people to take the wrong car, and one night last winter 1 saw a lady get off at Sloss furnace on the East Lake line when she thought she was on the North Birmingham car In the rush to get home people are liable to make these mistakes if there be not sufficient means of distinguishing between cSe line and another
 "I also noticed that two law suits were filed by young ladies who stated they had been carried past their station at night If the device the citizen men toned had been in use that could not have occurred thereby saving the pas sengers the annoyance and inconvenience they complained of and the company the expense, at least. of defending these law suits.
 "The lobby column of The Age-Herald contains some of the most practical sug- gestions to be found. They should be adopted. I read in paper some time ago that one of the most successful business enterprises in this country had 'sug- geston box in which the employees deposit ed any suggestion that occurred to them whereby the business could be improved or grievances remedied. Your lobby col umn Is suggestion box, and much profit could be derived from perusal of its contents"

THE WEEKLY PAPER.
the Florence Herald.

From the Florence Herald.
 The weekly country paper has as definite an excuse for being in the world as can be furnished by the city dailies Such publication is not only business guide, but 1t is a pulpit of morals; 1t is kind of public rostrum where the af- fairs of the state are considered; 1t is a social friend, a promoter of friendship and good will. Edited by a broad and just man, such a publication so treats the different sects that they realize their brotherhood and become in reality what they are pictured in print. The town weekly dare not be Presbyterian, Metllo- dist or Baptist, but 1t must select the val uable in each church. and thus it he- comes the harmonizer of discord. It binds those whom theology would often sepa- rate. Even the so-called small matters bf a village or incorporate town are small only to those whose hearts are too full of personal interest. It is very important if some school boy reads good essay or speaks we'll a piece, or sings well a song or stands high in the class room, that mention should be made publicly of such success, for more young minds are injured by the want of cheering words than are made vain with an excess of such praise.

Staie Fair Preparations.

Because there is not the accustomed amount of "grand-stand" or grandilo- quent statement and promise on the part of the managers of the State Fair, let no one think it is to be of modest proportions It is to be fine and large throughout. It will em- brace attractions that are rarely brought into the south.
 There will be entertainment for ev- cry person, no matter what his taste and natural inelinations may be. The exhibits in the big buildings and in the stock pens will rival the racing events, fine as they are to be. A mod ern dirigible airship will for the first time sail in, and even against Ala bana winds, and Vulcan is to preside over the entire show. .-----.
 Low railroad rates will enable the people to gather here, to meet the army of Home-Comers, and altogether it is reasonably certain that the state will next week be treated to a rare series of holidays.

Cuba's Developing Problem.

A Cuban policy will be developed from a great variety of sources and interests before an election is held, or any other controlling step is taken. It seems to be conceded that an cleo tion will not be held before June of next year, and 1t may be postponed much longer.
 At present Provisional Governor Taft Is engaged in avoiding military campaign, and he is displaying great tact in the work. He Is winning the confidence of both moderates and lib erals. This is the true policy, even if all branches of the government have to emulate daily Great Britain's ex- ample when she first occupied Egypt. She went there to restore peace and to bring order out of chaos; and she is still engaged in the task, and will continue to be perhaps while she has strength to occupy anything beyond her own little home islands.
 The great obstacle in the way is the

Perry's Tobacco Crop.

About three years ago Congressman Underwood induced the government to make a soil survey of Perry coun- ty. That survey demonstrated that the red soils of that county were ad- mirably adapted to the production of high-grade tobacco, and the govern ment conducted for year or two at least a farm for the purpose of induc- ing the Perry farmers to engage in to- bacco culture. The growers in that county have just sold solid car of tobacco filler to Tallahassee firm at 15 cents a pound The tobacco grown in Perry is fully as good as that grown in Florida, where 1t commands 50 cents a pound. When Perrys' pro- duction rises to a point that will at tract competing buyers, it's tobacco will command full price.
 But even at 15 cents it is better

Aver, who is one of the growers in Perry, declares that this years tobacco crop in Perry is the best crop that has ever been raised there. It shows beyond reasonable doubt that a first-class Cuban filler can be produced in Perry county, and that the Perry farmers. cannot grow more profitable crop.

Southern Opportunities.

An article in the October number of Bob Taylor's Magazine is, to say the least, urgent and inspiring. It calls upon southern cities to get ready for the opening of the Panama canal. Says the writer of the article: Are you studying your contiguous re- sources, and have you any kind of or ganization busy laying grounds to make the most of it? Are you going to be satisfied to do the commoner work and furnish a little of the raw materials, and do the digging and the cutting, and sit and see the profitable and richer part of it all sweep by your town on the railroads, manufactured elsewhere? Your cotton mill will manufacture a $50 bale of cotton into $500 worth of low-grade goods, while

Shows and Plays.

If anything were needed to illustrate the loose and careless use of words by people generally the substitution of the word show for the word play would suply the example," said literary cit izen yesterday.
 If l were to speak of a circus or some spectacular representation l would use the word show but when I speak of a theatrical performance. whether it he a tragedy or a comedy. or fnelo-drama, I always use the word play There is just as much difference between play and a show as there is between song and a sermon What would be thought of the person who would go into bookstore and ask for Shakespeare's shows?
 "A show appeals to the ignorant and stupid, who feast their eyes upon the gorgeous or gaudy with equal compla- cency; the play demands an intellectual attention and understanding which is con- spicuously absent in most audiences.
 Another msused word is opera house. Every little two by four village has its opera house, which the casual visitor might reasonably mistake for a car barn. Call things by their proper names and let us know what we mean when we talk. I'll bet there are more 'palatiaf res idences in Birmingham than in Calcutta, known as the city of palaces. There was coliseum in the city once which eventually became storehouse for old furniture, and Casino which sunk into a livery stable. All these things are mis- nomers and show we don't know, the meaning of our own language

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
'. M. c. A. Work.

Sunday afternoons at the Young Mems Christian association are always planned to give the greatest possible pleasure as well as uplft to it's members and guests, ' said careful observer.
 Tn the upbuilding of the better life an effort is made to throw off all formality, and to bring men together in a social at mosphere in which they may feel perfect ly at home.
 "The association is first of all a Chris tian institution. It has for an emblem the triangle of the body mind and spirit; and the angle of the body and mind are made to support the base which is the spirit. In the end the effort is always to use the gymnasium and educational departments as an end to the strengthening of the inner life.
 "The plan which has been formed for the writer seems to me to be an excel lent one. For a few minutes every Sun day afternoon an address on some help ful subject will be delivered by an able speaker and this is to be followed by social half hour with music and refresh ment, thus giving an opportunity for all to become acquainted.
 Prom 5:15 to o'clock Bible study classes in the life of Christ will be held. These classes have been a feature of the association work for the past three years, as the members become intensely interest ed and receive much benefit from the study. The work is based on daily read ing of tho Bible with review on Sun day.
 .The Rev. Hoyt Dobbs, who will speak today on The Successful Christian Life is an eloquent, helpful and interesting speaker, one who knows the benefits of the Christian life and is eager to show them to his fellows"

manifest unftness of the Cubans for self-government. General Andrade, late speaker of the Cuban house of representatives, said just before MT. Taft declared himself provisional gov ernor:
 ''If the Americans wish to take our gov ernment and give 1t to the rebels, they may do so, but not with our consent. We shall never consent to the holding of new elections. It would not only be a great injustice, but if the rebels won Cuba would have the worst elements in control. and if the government won we would have another revolution on our hands,"
 This certainly makes clear the situa- tion. But time will develop Cuban policy, and the longer the time taken the better will perhaps be the out come It will not be strange indeed if a fear springs up in the republican party lest the addition of Cuba and Porto Rico to the solid south would make this section strong again in pol itics and in national control. There are some signs of 1t already, for the New England papers are unit in op- position to annexation, and they are a vehement unit. The fear is foolish one, but it will have its weight along side the sugar and tobacco interests and the thousand and one other things that will be felt in the forthcoming and probably long-drawn-out Cuban problem.

Hill Ores and the South.

The transfer of the Hill ore lands to that huge corporation an estimated supply of 1 1,500 million tons of iron ore. a good deal of 1t being of high grade. Cur own Tennessee company is the next largest holder of iron ore in this country. It's deposits being estimated up to 1000 million tons. The iron ore consumption of the present year will be just about 37 million tons, and the consumption will have to go beyond 50 million tons year before the sup ply in this country will be seriously threatened.
 But the independent companies in the north will soon be face to face with either an ore famine or with high royalties. This may drive some of them to the south, or to Cuba, or to Colorado, although no place has in ad- dition to ores a fuel supply and trans portation facilities except this dis trict. "The south,' says the Manufac- turers Record, 'is, indeed, fortunate that it's iron ores have not been ex- hausted during the period of low prices in the past, but that they have been reserved until the time when the world has come to a full realization of the tremenaous importance to every business interest of iron and steel. It Is not only of sectional and national importance, but of international inn portance, that this section, and Ala bama especially, is a stronghold for 1his industry, possessing as it does such a vast supply of cheaply-mined ores so close to coking coal More rapidly propably than even he fore saw is coming true the prediction of the late Abram S. Hewitt, that Ala bama will dominate the basic-steel in- dustry of the world There must be some good iron properties in the south not yet well known or exploited, and every state should have a geolog- ical survey which will thoroughly in- vestigate every iron-ore region, for iron is indeed king"

the Massachusetts mill will make it into $5,O00 worth. Your iron works will turn ton of pig iron into S1,O00 worth of plowshares, while the Yan- kee works will turn it into $10,000 worth of cutlery. Are you looking in- to the causes of this? Have you a Board of Trade, or a Chamber of Com merce, or a Boosters Club?"
 This is a timely talk in right spir- it to all southern towns. The canal will open to us a vast possible trade in South America and in the Far East. It will bring the Pacific ocean to our doors. and this will take place in sev- en or eight years. Are we getting ready for the great southern opportu- nlty? Are we preparing to furnish even coarse cotton goods and blow shares?
 To no part of the south does this question come home closer than to this district The Warrior will be fully opened, and even Village creek should be canalized in eight years. Our products can therefore be fioated with but one transfer to the vast pop ulations of the Pacific-to China and Japan, and even to India. Are we getting ready for the commercial pos abilities of the Panama canal? To use the words of the writer in Bob Taylor's' Magazine, Let's nail the question squarely down" to this dis trict.
