 THESE REAL ESTATE DEALERS

Thirty-six real estate men, who claimed in the afternoon papers te { prohibition would not injure real estate values in Birmingham have no real estate licenses. Is it possible that names of men were put on that list who are not in the real estate business" If they are not, should their opinions carry weight? The following corre- spondence explains itself:
 Birmingham, Ala. October 25, 1907 Hon. George B. Ward, Mayor, City
 Dear Sir-This committees attention has been called to a card publish ed in the afternoon papers of yesterday, in which it Is stated, above the sigma lures of a number of men claiming to be real estate agents and representa- . lives of land companies doing business in the city of Birmingham that they favor prohibition.
 We desire to know if each and all of these are doing q legitimate business under the laws of the city. and if they have paid licenses which are required. and paid for by a number of members of this committee.
 Our purpose is to arrive at the exact conclusion as to whether or not we are opposed by a legitimate proposi- tion.
 Please have your clerical department examine books and to force upon them the same burden that all of the people in these lines of business are bearing. Enclosed please find the card. PROPERTY OWNERS AND GOOD GOV F.RNMENT CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.

Do you know that the Prohibition law will not stop shipments of any kind from Ohio or any other state? Don't you know that the Good Government Commit tee don't stand for anything like this?

MERGER CRUSHED BY MISSISSIPPI
 SCORE 76 TO Q

Columbus, Miss, October 25.-tSpecial.)- In the presence of over 5000 people, com ing from all sections of Mississippi and many parts of Alabama. the Agricultural and Mechanical college football team com pletely smothered the II from Mercer col lege this afternoon.
 The final score was 75 to O. Before the game the Georgians were the favorites, even by some of the strongest supporters of Mississippi, but in less than minute, when Mississippi marched through Geor- gia and scored the first touchdown with ease, t was plain that the foreigners were playing against a terrible foe. The Georgians were about eight pounds lighter to the man than their opponents. The true strength of the Missssippians was not once dreamed of by even the most sanguine of their friends The form they showed was remarkable. The game start ed by A. and M. kicking to Mercer, which was held for downs. In 40 seconds Mississippi carried the ball safely for s touchdown. This rapid work seemed to demoraize the Georgians and they played without much spirit The first half ended 30 to 0, and 40 in the second tells a par tial story of the slaughter. Furman has seven touchdowns to his credit. McInnis, MCNGOTBe, NelSOH dnu Otul were OlilSIS who deserve special mention. For the Georgians Pool was probably the star, while Hicks and Ladrum also did some very good work.

How the Clever Business Man s.
cured a Rain Shedder.

..#
The following story is told of a New
Yorker-a New York business man
to be exact and contains a suggestion
which may be Of great benefit to the
reader at some period of his career.
The writer has tried it several times
with remarkable success:
The business man in question was
caught in a rainstorm without an
umbrella, and being in too much of a
hurry to wait for it to stop raining, he
devised a brilliant and ingenious
scheme for obtaining the desired ar.
ticle-an umbrella, that is. AS soon
as he saw a person who looked as
though he might have a sufficiently
guilty conscience, the business mar
rushed upon his abruptly, exclaiming:
I'll trouble you for my umbrella!"
The other started guiltily and hasti
ly handed over the umbrella with a
few words Of apology, while the bust
ness man haughtily walked off with
his prize.
While the scheme is a good one,
some discrimination must be used in
selecting the victim. The writer dis.
claims all responsibility for its mis-.
use at the hands Of incompetent per.
sons.
