 in the Union. We tried to get the Texas law for Alabama and we failed because yoar men wouldn't stand for it. And back there at one time the railroads sent their men there and said you pass this law and you will drive the rail- roads out: not single other mile will be built. Do you know what Texas said? She said, If you mean you are going to come here and control our

What was the result? More railroad building than anywhere in the United States and less complaint of the citizens about freight rates than any other State in the Union.

What we are trying to do for Alabama has been tried by dozens of States, and the only question is what will the railroads do with the people of Alabama if left to themselves. There is no Limitation on the rule of the L. and N. except Colonel Tunstali and Col rate so strong that 1t will be there for ever. Will you go back and make your own rate, or will you keep drifting? Have you tried the railroad lawyer in politics long enough? If you have. stop ft. If you have not, keep 1t up. Judge Roulhac says give it up. Every rail- road lawyer is against you. Coming out of Birmin gham the other day, there were two men across the aisle and one of them was talking about Cunnin Rham and talking for him. A farmer sitting there said. "Tll bet you've got a pass in vour pocket" The man turned red and blushed up little and sure enough when the conductor came around, the man did have pass. The man with a pass in his pocket Is a great friend of the railroads. You search today and see how you stand and what it Is for. IL can't be by accident, because he says he favors a lower rate than Georgia. He has gone further than I have gone, and yet they are for him. Be partic- uIar about your legislators.

the movement, starting with the meet ing of representative men in the omce of the Montgomery Traction Company, when it was decided to endeavor to raise subscription to buy tract or land near Montgomery. build good substantial buildings, and prepare the proper grounds for the holding of an annual fall agricultural exhibit in Montgomery.
 It had been decided. Mir. vandiver said, that the capital stock should be originally placed at $50.00o and that each share of stock should be worth $lO. He. too. expressed his firm be- lief that subscription of stock would be sound investment. He saw noth- ing but the roseate in the outlook, He had talked with such wealthy planters and stockmen as the Smiths of Au- tanga County, the McCurdy's of Lown- des County and others They had prom fsed their financial and their moral support to interest the other farmers of their counties in the movement. He had talked to the executive officers or several of the great railroad systems leading into Montgomery, and he was sure that from them the Fair would receive q libfral support.
 He reviewed the history and past successes of fairs in Montgomery and said that every effort was to be made to make this fair permanent one.
 MT. Vandiver then called on num- Der of prominent citizens. who pledged their cooperation and urged the neces- sity of holding the Fairs annually in this city. Among those who made 1 brief addresses were J. M. Thornton. of Talladega, Frank D. Kohn. Louis R. Farley. W. H. Seymour. B. s. Greil. w H. Ragland H. C. Davidson. Horace Hood, Hunter Vaughn. and F. P. Glass.
 MT. Glass said that he believed a nu- nl Vu oh hn hn raised could be secured at the meeting and he asked Mir. Vandiver to call for subscriptions.

CRIMES ON INCREASE
JUDGE WEAVER'S CHARGE TO THE
 JEFFERSON GRAND JURY.
Human Life Held Too Cheaply He De- clareS-COntractOr stricken With LOckjaw Following stepping Upon q Nail, ..-.-

Birmingham, Jan. S.-(Special)-- Judge Samuel Weaver, of the criminal court. today organized the grand jury for the January term and gave a strong charge to the inquisitorial body. He enumerated the duties or this body and asked them to consider well all mat | ters brought to their attention by the solicitor and others. In the course of the charge Judge Weaver stated that he was not unmindful Of the report of a previous jury on the lines that crime was on the increase, but he states that the phenomenal growth of this city and county had been overlooked. He am nounced that the county was three times larger in population than three years ago.
 Jefferson county is a large one. It is equal to four great counties in Geor- gia. They are Douglass, Fulton. Camp
 bell and Dekalb. The county is also
 the dumping ground for many crimi- nals that have no homes. When all
 these facts are considered, I am con strained to believe that crime is on the decrease"
 He calls for an investigation in the law regulating the operation of auto
 mobiles on the thoroughfares of the county. Among other things in the charge, Judge Weaver said:
 The next class of your duties is the investigation of crime and the present .
 ment of all persons who may be shown by the evidence to be guilty of violating the criminal law. In this connection II may not be amiss to call your attention | to the crime of unlawful homicide. The too frequent practice of taking human life on little or no provocation has en- tailed upon the people great burden and has engeEdered too often the re- mark that human life IS too cheap. The docket for the grand jury to take up is the smallest that has been walt
 ing for a grand jury in many months.
 rho grand hIvy will not be in session
 as Ions as other similar bodies in the last three years.

Sale of stamps.


 Sale of Stamps.
 As an indication of how Birmingham is growing, the sale of postage stamps and stamped newspaper wrappers TOT the month of December shows an iH- crease of sI3,340.99 over the sales or December, 1904. The sales TOT the month just closed amount to s24.so6.si, while the sales for the same month last year were s7,515.9s.
 The sale of stamps on Wednesoay' January 3 broke all previous recoros, amounting 10 s1,S30.17. The largest sale for any day previous to Wedhes- day was on Saturday, December zS' the day before Christmas Eve, when the sale amounted to s1,623.41, or s2oo. U less than on January 3. The largest sale oi stamps for aag single day year before last was on December 23, lsO4, when the sale amounted to Sl.oo'' Thus, it will be seen that the sales on last Wednesday were S5 per cent great CT than the biggest day of 1904.
 The heavy sale Wednesday was que to the thousands of statements which were sent out by Birming gham grms to Christmas customers, and to other letters whose purpose was to close up the business of the year 1905. The newspaper postage of Btrming- : ham increased s230 during the las. auarter of 1905 over the last quarter or 1904. This was due mostly to the extra number of pages carried by the newss papers of the city during the heavy run of fall advertising.
