FLORIDA MAN
 PROVES A FAKIR
Another Photo of Henry King Is Re. ceived and Officers Think the
 Prisoner the Right Man.

The scheme of a Florida fakir, giving his name as Jackson, who came very near getting a reward for the capture and killing of Henry King, the murderer of Police Officer James Mullin, was eXplod- ed yesterday morning when Chief Wier received a photograph from the chief of police of Cordelle, Ga. exactly a dupli- cate of that sent by Jackson, and un- doubtedly a picture of the King who is wanted here.
 The police are of the opinion that some unknown person got hold of a picture and fabricated the story about having to kill the negro on the train. He was in d big hurry to get the reward. evidently.
 Chief Wier will send full descriptions of the negro King, and if it develops the capture IS genuine, he will send to bring him back to justice. The killing of Off cer Mullin was brutal one, and the au- thoritics are very anxious to see the cul- prit safely back in Birmingham.

OBSENE CARDS
 STILL ON SALE
Judge Feasn Urges Chief Wier to Go Into Case and Special Man
 Is Detailed.

The quiet investigation of the report that obscene postal cards were being dis play and sold in Birmingham has, up to date, amounted to nothing.
 Chief Wer yesterday afternoon stated that he himself. in full uniform, called on the proprietor of one establishment and asked to be shown some cards. Those he saw were not improper.
 However, yesterday afternoon Judge Feagin. to whom was reported the case of young school girl receiving through the mail q card of the most vicious sort. was informed that obscene cards were still on display in Birmingham and being sold. Thereupon he called upon Chief Wier and urged him to continue the m vestigation. This the chief agreed to do' and put the case in the hands of Officer Street.

A Dealer Talks.

one of the largest dealers in Bir- mingham yesterday talked enthusias- tically of the increasing interest taken bv the people of Alabama in fine stock. He said that it is very encouraging to note the demand on the part of the farmers for better mules and horses.
 He said: "'rhere are several req sons why mules cannot be raised as successfully In Alabama as in some or the western states where the natural growth of grasses Is better adapted to the business. but the farmers of Ala bama have an opportunity to make up for all this in the production of better crops adapted to this soil and climate through the use of good stock.
 q buy most of the hay used in my stalls from Alabama producers and find that l not only save money in the item of freight, but get good qual- itv of feed and believe that it will en- courage the farmers of Alabama to produce more feed stuffs at home.
 ..'rhere is d demand in Alabama for all the hay that can be produced in the state and the farmers should help to supply this demand"
 Among the principal dealers in horses and mules in Birmingham are Fies X Sons, Maxwell X Crouch Mule company. George w. Phillips and Haynes & Donahoo. The latter firm is a new concern, having recently moved to Birmingham from Anniston and established the Terminal stock wards at Second avenue and Twenty seventh street.

Source of Dem and.

The source of demand of which Bir- mingham is the center is peculiarly diversified and on this fact is based the prospect for great development in the future The local dealers hope to supply the demand for all farm stock in the state. Mules for the mines railroad construction and other similar enterprises are already supplied to a large extent by the local dealers. The rapid increase along all these indus trial lines will. of course, enhance the importance of the trade.
 So important has become the bus- ness in Birmingham that there is growing demand for union stock yards where all the business of the dealers will be confined to a certain section, making the handling by rail- roads. dealers and the purchasers more convenient. It is also pointed out that the union stock yards would obviate many of the sanitary evils attendant upon mule and horse stalls. At pres ent the stock yards are widely scat tered over the city. It is hard to keep down much of the insanitary conditions found about such places and besides the present arrangement is very incon- Venient to prospective purchasers.
 A majority of the dealers themselves favor such an arrangement and. It IS certain that the purchasers would sane tion A movement of tn is kind. Such an arrangement is the rule in most of the western stock centers and it is very probable that something of this Kind will be done as the business increases in Rirrniupha

dealers that Birmingham people have some of the very finest carriage and saddle horses in the country and will have nothing but the very best. This rule also applies to the farmers in the Br- mingham district and in fact over the entire state.
 Whereas farmers in Alabama a few years ago bought the cheapest stock that could be had. the fancy price of seoo is often paid for a pair of good farm mules The great majority of farmers are pay ing s400 pair and are satisfied.
 Deal First Hand.
 There are several successful dealers in methods and are not only making money in the business but are doing all in their power to make Birmingham a southern stock center. To do this they are dealing fairly with the people and seeking every advantage in the way of delivering goods al the lowest possible prices. Most of the stock for the Birmingham market is selected from the western ranches direct by expert buyers and not from the deal CTS who. of course, demand middlemans profit.
 It is claimed and demonstrated by the Birmingham dealers that the coun try dealer in Alabama can buy stock in Birmingh as cheaply as from the dealers in the western markets, tn ere by saving a small margin on freight, the time lost in going west and the wear and tear of transportation.
 When these facts are tn oroughly un- derstood by the interior dealers it is believed that Birmn gham will advance rapidly along this important line.
 It is an important fact that Birming- ham dealers are shipping stock to At lanta and Montgomery well as many of the less important but large local centers in Georgia, Alabama and Mis- sissippi. Indeed. q few small sh hipments have been made to Nashville.
