ton of certain sections of the city's ordi-
nance regulating plumbing.

diately before the City Council went into

a petition asking that this election be held
up was submitted. The petitioners, one of
whom was Gayle, declared that formal
charges against E,ckere would be pre-
ferred to the effect that he had shown
Partially and discrimination in carrying
out his duties.

against Mr.. Gayle as contained in the
warrant sworn out by the plumbing i'm
spector is not known as yet.

NEW TELEPHONE LINES.
Three Metallic Circuits Installed Be-
tween Chattanooga and Birmingham.

The American Telephone and Telegraph
company has opened three new metallic
circuits between Birmingham and Chat
tanooga on which the direct business
from New York to New Orleans will be
handled.
The new circuits were only recently
completed and service over them COM
nenced. In addition to handling the
through messages they will give Birming
ham and Chattanooga direct connection,
something which has not previously ex-
listed. In the past the connections had to
be made through Decatur, necessitating
longer time and more trouble.

BATTERY IS AFTER
MORE FIELD GUNS
REQUlSlTlON FOR ARTILLERY TO
BE HONORED-TO BUY HORSES
AND ORGANIZE A TRANSFER
COMPANY.

An application for four field guns to be
used by the Brandon light artillery has
been framed up, and will be submitted to
the proper state authorities in the i'm
mediate future. Those interested in the
move, including the officers of the bat
terry and influential friends, one of whom
is Auditor-elect w. w. Brandon, for
v hom the battery is named, are certain
that this requisiton for guns will be
honored.
If the guns are received the local bat
terry will be the best equipped in the
state 1t is the intention of the battery
to buy horses to handle these guns, so
that regular periodical drills can be in
dulged in. 1t is thought that the battery
has enough friends in the city to guaran-
tee the purchase of the horses by sub
scription.
The plan outlined is the formation of a
transfer company, in which the horses
of the battery will be used In this way
the animals will not only be self-support-
ing. but their services will be the means
of bringing in money TO the battery for
other purposes. According to these plans
n member of the battery will be elected
general manager of the transfer company
and his duty will be to see that the COM
pany is aggressive in its efforts to secure
business.

ness in other lines is so far in excess OF
last year it more than makes up for the
falling off in the heavier lines.
One merchant stated yesterday that the
sale of furs, for instance, was off some
on account of the warm weather. except
in the handsomer lines. These, he stated,
are selling better than they did last year,
for people wishing to give handsome furs
as presents are not hesitating on account
of the weather.
The indications are that for the next
ten days the merchants of Birmingham
will do a larger business than they have
ever done in any ten days in the history

MOVED GOODS IN TRUNKS

Charged with receiving stolen property
amounting to more than $1,000, Eli Abram-
son was arrested on a warrant in Bir-
mingham yesterday afternoon at 2:2)
o'clock. The warrant was issued by Judge
II. B. Alternately, and was sworn to by
Mrs. Abe Abramson, the defendants sis
ter-in-law. After spending several hours
in the county jail. young Abramson made
bond in the sum of $500.
If the charges preferred by Mrs. Abram-
son are true, then the young man ar
rested yesterday is perhaps the only per-
son who has moved a stock of goods from
one spot to many others, moving them in
such shrewd fashion that their where
abouts are a mystery. The charges of
Mrs. Abramson, which were narrated at
some length to Chief Wier prior to the
arrest, implicated her husband and his
brother, who was arrested here. The hus-

The merchants of Birmingham, without
exception, state that the holiday business
this year is in excess of that of last year,
which means that it is far in excess of
the holiday business of any previous year.
Last year the holiday business was esti-
mated to be more than one-third larger
than the previous year, and this year they
are estimating that the holiday trade will
be at least one-third larger than it was
last year.
The merchants have laid in an unusually
large stock of Christmas goods this year,
and they state that the sales have been
rapid and that the demand is stronger
than ever before.
The weather has been warm and this
has effected trade in certain heavy lines
