told it will not be done until grade crossings are
abolished, of which there is no sure prospect In
the near future since the road and the cities 1t

railroad officials and municipal functionarles are
too slow about getting together" of their own
accord in such a case. there ought to be some
way OF Fastening the process.

FAIR OPENS TWO
 WEEKS FROM TODAY
GROUNDS ARE IN FINE SHAPE AND ALREADY SOME OF THE HEAVIER MACHINERY EXHIBITS ARE IN PLACE.

Two weeks from today the gates of the Alabama state fair will swing open for an eight-day season. The grounds are all ready practically in shape, The big force which has been kept busy the past two weeks has painted and whitewashed and graded and graveled until the enclosure already looks as fresh and clean as pos sibe
 The exhibitors are also nearly ready to install their displays In fact, in the ma chinery hall some of the heavy work in this line has been done. Inquiries from farmers and others who have agricultural products to exhibit continue to pour steadily into the desk of General Manager Barnes, although comparatively little space is left to be allotted.
 Letters from the various free attrac- tions and the big shows on the curve tell of preliminary arrangements to come to Birmingham, and there doesn't sesm a chance that one will be missing. Cap tain Baldwin, of airship fame has Writ ten that his tanks must be prepared Tor the monster flying machine. Walter Chris tie announces he will be here with his pig racing cars on time.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
 COMES ABOUT JAN. 1
RAILROAD MEN THINK TRACK CANNOT BE COMPLETED IN TIME TO BRING TRAINS BE- FORE FIRST OF YEAR.

In spite of the numerous rumors to the contrary, it was learned yesterday that the Illinois Central will hardly halt a train beneath the shed of the new Ter minal station before the coming of the new year. Indeed the time of the coming of the new road is believed to be on the first day of next January.
 One month ago the Illinois Central and touched Bear Creek, forty-seven miles above Jasper. Since then it is estimated that perhaps dozen miles have been completed The Illinois Central, there for, will have to complete about thiroy- five miles of track before Jasper Is en- tered From Jasper the Illinois Central will come to Birmingham over the tracks of the Frisco. In addition to the thirty odd miles of track to be completed. the road will have to construct side track between here and Jasper at nearly every third mile post. Then considerable work of a miscellaneous nature will have to be completed.
 Railroad officials in Birmingham look for the Illinois Central, as stated, about January 1. It is stated too. that the Mo- bile and Ohio will hardly enter the limits of the city before that date.

M. o. LEAGUE WILL
 CONTINUE FIGHT
Another Meeting of the :. Executive Committee Will Be Held
 This Week.

she fight of the Municipal Ownership league for the control and operation of a municipal water works Tlant will be renewed in the immediate future.
 The league held a meeting last Satur- day afternoon in the office of the city engineer. City Engineer Julian Kendrick was given the assignment of conferring with Professor Kay of the University of Alabama concerning his recent survey, in which the matter of bringing water to Birmingham from the Warrior river was extensively treated. and its cost esti- mated.
 There will be another meeting of the executive committee of the league this week. Chairman B. H. Cooper was au- thority for that statement yesterday aft ernoon. It was learned, too, that the league will get itself under the direct pro lection of the city This will give the body a tangible basis from which to work, and will result in the obtaining of necessary funds. The matter of a city appropriation may be taken up. At any rate, the fight for the municipal control of the water works will be renewed in the immediate future. The leaders of tho movement are still imbued with the idea. paying too high q rate for their water, and for this reason the fight will be re- newed and pushed.

RETURN LICENSE
 TO TOBACCO MEN
Money Awaits Dealers at Probate Of fice-76o Were Issued in
 Birmingham.

Judge of Probate Samuel E. Greene has on hand warrants from the state auditor refunding the cigar and tobacco licenses which were taken out some time ago after the passage of an act by the present state legislature during it's first session.
 The license in question was imposed by inc legislature through act providing that all dealers in cigars or tobacco should take out state licenses therefor. IJp to the time of the passage of this act the tobacconists were not required to have state licenses except where eX- elusive tobacco business was carried on. Only city licenses were required.
 The law proved an extremely unpopu- lar one and at the last session of the leg islature it was repealed. For this reason warrants for the refunding of the licenses have been sent to the probate judge. There were 769 of these licenses issued here, ranging from s1 50 to SIT The state will refund two-thirds and the county one-thrd of the amount of the licenses to those who took them out The warrants may be obtained by dealers who took out licenses by calling at Probate Clerk Sam Elake's window in the probate court.
