The County Jail.

Laying aside all joking" said Superin-
tendent Dixon of the First Presbyterian
Sunday school, the county Jail ought
to be moved 1t should be erected out
side of the city limits, and l can think of
no better site than ON the North Bes-
semer car line between this city and
Bessemer.
1T would then cease to be such mean
ance to health and an oyesore to the
beauty of the city, and at the same time
be nearer to Ensley and Bessmer, where
a great per cent OF the negroes and GRIM
inals congregate. People talk and talk,
but it is fast becoming time to act"
Now if | had anything to do with
the county jail" said DR.. j. II. Mccoy,
that court house would be built on the
old site ten stories high or more and the
two top floors would be used as the coun-
ty Jail.
MANY advantages recommend this plan.
In the first place, escapes would be
practically impossbility. The prisoners
would hardly jump down from that height
and they could take their airing on the
roof Pure air with big open windows,
through which it could enter, no bars or
wicket of anything to interfere with
cleanliness, are we'll worth the cost, 1
am pleased to note that Tuscaloosa is fol-
lowing this plan on a smaller scale"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-01-15

liam J. Oliver and his associates is
matter of pride to the south, but all in
the south will regret to hear that Mr..
Oliver proposes to employ American
negroes at Panama. Mr.. Oliver says
he has used all kinds of labor, and he
has found negro labor as satisfactory
as any. He evidently means American
negro labor. But the south has not
enough labor to do its own work, and
the withdrawal from the south of 3d.
600 negroes would be materially felt,
and for the good of the mainland Mr..
Oliver should look elsewhere. This he
can readily do, and this. maybe, he
will do when he fully considers the
labor deficiencies of the south alike on
the farms and in its industrial plants.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
New Year In Greece.

Sunday was the Greek New Year" said
J. Pantaza, a member of the Birming-
ham Greek colony, yesterday. "and there
are many Greeks who would have given
much to be In their native land to tan
part in the festivities
"The celebration of New Year in Greece
is probably different from that of any
other nation It is a day when all the
laws are lenient, and one of the most
important features is the fact that no law
against gaming of any kind applies on
New Year. On that day you will find
games Of cards in progress in every coffee
house and restaurant in Athens. Usually
the play is for small sums, and its OBJ
ject is simply TO try your luck and see
how fortune Is going to favor you dur
ing the next year. If man loses, the
year will not be successful for him, and
or the other hand if he wins, the ap-
preaching year has something good in
store for him.
THE gambling is not demorallzing, for
families visit each other and play small
games with coins or with the cards, and
the whole thing is simply to try their
luck.
I'VE try to enter into the spirit Of the
day here in Birmingham, but it is not
like being in Greece"

Bring Out the Buntino

ne cotton growers and handlers are
coming many thousand strong to Bir-
mingham to discuss all the features
and problems of the great industry of
this section of the country. Governor
Hayward will be here to. discuss immi-
grafton and the labor problem: Gov
ernor-elect Hoke Smith will discuss
The price of the staple, and Governor
Conner is listed to discuss the crop in
general. Many other good speakers
and thoughtful men will be present,
and every session of the convention
will be interesting. All addresses are
to be terse and to the point and no
ones speech is to exceed "thirty to
forty minutes"
Beyond all question vast numbers of
representative people will be here by
Thursday, the opening day of the asso-
cations meeting. Birmingham should
be put in holiday attire. 1t should be
decorated. The weather promises to
be mild, and will probably be fair. The
streets will therefore be full of people,
and they should be rendered attractive.
The Age Herald appeals to all to get
ready for the convention, which is near
at hand. Brush up the city. Put the
word welcome" everywhere, if not in
actual letters, then in acts and arts of
decoration. Delegates will begin to
arrive today, and they will continue to
come until this city is full from stem
to stern, so to speak.

LADY AND THE SADDLER.
A Pretty Little Romance That Came of
Hospital Visiting

Phe Countess of Kinnoul, who has de-
voted much of her leisure to hospital Wis
iting, has had one or two strange ex-
periences She used to go regularly to
st. Georges hospital says the Grand
Magazine, and on one oecasion-she was
then not more than IS years old-made
the acquaintance of a youth saddler
by trade, who was suffering from hip
disease. Gradually he recovered and was
at last able to leave the hospital, though
still lame.
Between the young man and his kind
visitor correspondence sprang up He
always addressed her as Dear Mollie,2
and concluded his letters with all my
hearts love, yours respectful
At length the lady became engaged to
be married, and duly informed her hum
BILE admirer of the fact. Receiving no an
swer from him, she sent him ticket for
the wedding. Still no reply Again she
wrote to him and at last received from
him this answer, without either beginning
or end, of an orthodox kind:
Il can never write to you again as I
don't know how to begin"
once more the young lady took I'm her
pen. She reminded this timorous corre-
spondent that her name was still Mollfe.
and urged him to come to her wedding
He came, he saw he cried-a little. and
wheh 1t was over Lady Kinnoul received
from him the following letter descriptive
of his sensations
There was l among those lords and
ladies, and none so beautiful as Her what
needed no jewels
he gone to Canada now' says Lady
