PASTORS WANT THE
 SUNDAY LAW PASSED
Will Send Members to the Capital to Lobby
ALSO FAVOR LIQUOR LAW
Arrangements Are Made to Have pr. Josiah Strong of New York Come to Birmingham to De-
 liver Lecture.

The Pastors union met yesterday morn ing In the First Methodist church and adopted stirring resolutions on various subjects which are now before the people of the state. The ministers placed them selves firmly on the affirmative side for the bill against freight trains on Sunday, the local option bill and for prohlhi- tion of saloons and pool tables in connee- tion with state fairs.
 Introduced by the Rev. Perslnger, these resolutions were unanimously passed
 'Whereas, There is an effort being made by some of the legislators and senators of Alabama to pass a bill to prohibit the running of freight trains on Sunday in Alabama; and whereas, the governor has recommended such a bill; and whereas such a bill is very much to be desired in justice to the great army of men em- ployed on railroads, and for the good of the public; and whereas, wrong impress sions have gone out concerning the at- titude of some of the employees toward such a bill, when, as facts are, instead of opposing 1t. they only wanted an amendment to certain features and fav- ored a Sunday bill with certain llmita- tions; and whereas, combined efforts from some source are being brought to bear on the senate and house to defeat the bill; therefore, be 1t
 Resolved, by this Pastors union, That we do heartily indorse a bill, with proper limitations, prohibiting the operation of freight trains, and the keeping open of freight depots on Sunday in Alabama. and do most earnestly request the legislature to pass such a bill.
 Second, that we urge the citizens of the state to use their influence with the several representatives urging them to help pass a bill; and third, that the secretary of this meeting be requested 10 present these resolutions and the action of this body to Mir. Lusle of the sen aten

President of City Council Sees Big Opportunity for Birmingham Mer- chants In Territory Toward

B. A.. Weaver, presiednt of the city council of Columbus, Miss, and vice president of the Columbus Insurance and Banking company, was In the city yes- terday en route home. In talking of con ditions in general, he said
 My impression of Birmingham since have been here this time Is that there has been a marked Improvement in busi- ness acticity and trade. f7le city Is show ing very marked growth in every line. There is an increase in the value of property and 1t makes good investment, not only for Birmingham but for the people in other places with money to invest.
 l think that an up-to-date large hotel would be a paying investment here. Some one might buy the Morris hotel when it is sold and open there gigantic hotel. which would be a paying investment from the very start It would also be a great addition to Birmingham and this dis trict
 Birmingham Is Reaching Out.
 Birmingham is reaching out from a wholesale, manufacturing and jobbing standpoint, and with few exceptions, the prices given on all products are as low as those given by other cities that are producing points. believe that if tho merchants of Birmingham would work the trade west of here along the Southern sending out travelling men with good prices, they could pick up a great deal of business that now goes to other cities The railroad facilities here would help them.
 "In Columbus everything is prosperous. The three banks there had on deposit, according to the last statement on the first of January, about $1, 5000 Each of them, aside from declaring a 10 per cent dividend, added largely to their sur plus. The Columbus Insurance and Bank ing company is erecting six-story mod ern banking and office building There is very little local demand for money and investments are being made elsewhere. This Is due to the accumulation of money owing to the magnificent crop of cotton made in that immediate locality which Is selling at a good price.

 "The timber lands around that part of the country are enhancing In value very rapidly and the new railroads in that part of the country are bringing these lands in touch with the outside world so that the timber is marketable"

ago and went to California. If they
had stayed on their farms the rise in
the value Of farm lands would have
made them well off and they would have
saved all the loss that has come to
them. Today they are not worth as
much as they were when they left, but
they ar ashamed TO come back because
they have not made their stake. There
are hundreds of such instances. The
fact is, Jefferson county is Just as good
a place and indeed better to make
money farming or In other business as
any place on the continent. A bigger
humbug than this craze to go some

Letter to Messrs. Thompson Bros

Gentleman: You understand grinding
wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and corn.
We understand grinding whitehead and
white-zinc. The two sorts of grinding
are not much alike Very likely oats
and wheat behave very differently in
the nil, and you manage them differ
ently-we know very little about your
work; don't need to; we'd rather de-
pend on you.
But we paint your house and mill, and
buildings; perhaps you'd be glad to
know about grinding paint; for some
people mix their paint with stick in a
tub.
We use lead-and-zinc nothing else.
And our zine is as tough as your oats,
Tub mixers imagine they mix it. They
don't; they can't. Takes grinding to
mix lead-and-zinc.
They are both white; when they are
thoroughly mixed? Tub-mixers don t
know it; but tub-mixed lead-and-zinc
is streak of one alongside of streak
of the other.
We grind as you grind; and our paint
is lead-and-zinc ground together, mix
ed intimately; it is neither lead nor
zinc, but lead-and-zinc. the lead is lost /;
and the zinc is lost: each lost in the
other: both lost in the mixture Lead
chalks snd zinc peels: lead-and-zinc
ground together hang on and nrotect

We take care of your mill outside;

At Helena, Montana, recently, Sen
ator La Toilette gave a newspaper in
teryiew in which he declared for the
denomination OF Roosevelt. He said
that if the railroads thought to defeat
the policies of the president by the
nomination Of some one antagonistic
thereto, they were going at it in a
wrong way, They will force Presi-
dent Roosevelt to be a candidate if |
am correctly informed as to the actions
of Hartman and his associates, said
the senator. Abusing the president
will not help the cause Of the railroads
with the people as after all public sct.-
timent rules this nation and antaeeuiz-
ing him and questioning his motives
will result in Theodore Roosevelt r.
nouncing his declaration not TO run
again and make the race 5y wa, of
vindication. 1t can hardly he called q
third term, since during Che first three
years of his administration he was in a
sense carrying out the policies Of his
lamented predecessor and It was only
during his present term that he pro-
mulgated and caried out his own plans.
Roosevelt is entitled to another term
and the people are entitled to Rooae-

augurated must b. carried out ana he

BACTERIA KILLED
At R. F. Worden's PasieuriziDg
 Plant on Cherry Street.

President J. D. Freney and Con- missioners Hungerford and Noonan of the board of health, accompanied by Milk and Food Inspector Keeley visited the pasteurizing plant of R. F. Worden on Cherry street yester- day. They were very much pleased with the workings of the plant, but none of them is giving out any opin- ion as to whether he thinks. the plail should become general. The milk is heated to 160 degrees and left at that temperature for about ten mtn- utes after which it is cooled to a temperature of forty degrees and bot tied. It is said that there are about 5000 bacteria to each cubic centi- meter of milk and scientists claim that at least ninety per cent of the germs are killed by this process. The only drawback is that 1t is feared that bacteria which Is healthful and desirable in milk are destroyed with the others, so that in the opinion of some it is still an open question whether the system is an improve ment or not. In any case it works like charm and the committee was very much pleased with it, aud will probably make some recommendation regarding it at the next meeting of the board.
