uNumerous Contracts
to be let on Coal
Lands.
Work Has Been Delayed By
Difficulty in Getting in
Machinery.

Fred Latham, superintendent and
manager of the coal properties on the
east side of the Park, acquired by En-
campment and eastern parties. states
that considerable delay in the prospect
ing work has been experienced owing to
the difficulty of getting machinery in.
One hoist to be used on one OF the 300
foot contracts recently let, is now on the
grounds and the other hoist is here ready
to be taken out. A load of steel and
machinery was brought in last week by
George Post, and it is understood there
is more freight now in Laramie. Alex
Hilton is superintendiag the construc

hoisting, and in a-short time now work
will be in full swing.

he wishes to let, and if anyone wishes
to do some drill work contract can he

away. The tongue ran into the ground
throwing Mr.. Fahey out of the buggy.
In the fall Mr.. Fahey struck his head ON

Pay of Preachers

President Lyman Hood of the At lanta Theological Seminary says the average yearly salary of the preachers of Georgia is less than S300. Those who receive the smallest salaries are the ones who not only have to preach the gospel, attend the sick, marry the young and bury the dead, but who also have 10 build the fire in the church stove, raise the hymns and sometimes play the organ. The day laborer and the public school teachers are the only rivals of the preachers in scant living.
 Not a few are promised better pay, and the chief trouble seems to consist in the uncertainty and insecurity of such promises. Churches oftentimes call a pastor at, say. $S00 and at the end of the year he has received $25o, and owes perhaps his grocer.
 
 The situation is distressing, and it s partly due 10 the multiplication of sects and therefore of churches in rural districts, or at any rate in small villages, but it is also partly due to the non-fulfillment of promises made when pastor is called The country is prosperous All products, including cotton, bring a good price, and the time has come to increase the pay of preachers and to pay them in full promptly. Because they have no union" and cannot strike is no reason why they should be treated shabbily.
 The city preachers can take care of themselves and the village and country preachers should be treated justly. A reform in that direction is particularly needed in the south, and it is to be hoped the Georgia agitation of this matter will be maintained until some results flow from it.

Atlanta is Coming

Peace and joy reign in balldom, be- cause the Atlanta team is coming to this city on April to open the season, It is to play a transferred game while it watches Birminghams pennant flap in the glad springtime breezes.
 But this Is all that Atlanta grants, for it proposes to win that opening game Says the Georgian: Atlanta has her heart set upon a victory. Her fans will not be satisfied short of the triumph of the team, and the disap- pointment of this twentieth century city will be visible, audible and practl- cal if Atlanta does not win in the sea- son that is ahead of us."
 That is all right. Scores of teams are at this time of the year entertain ing similar notions, including seven in the Southern league. It is every teams privilege to win pennant this month and even in the coming month, and Atlanta is not overstepping the limit. Tn fact 1t should make baseball hay while the sun is not scorchingly hot and whitening. Early-won pen nants are not warranted to last, but there is some comfort to be found in preempting one at the outset. Atlanta is all right. Let it come over in April, and if it does not win a game 1t will at any rate have an opportunity to see real pennant flap gracefully in the April zephyrs.

For q Public Librery

The people of Birmingham of this day and generation are engaged in lay ing the foundations of a large city. They may not appreciate their task; they may not really know in all cases what they are doing, but they are as suredly forming one of the large cities of a great country. They are building better, no doubt, in many instances, than they know.
 And it Is a source of qualification that nearly every good thing has been considered and planned, the striking exception being perhaps free public library. And yet all know we cannot build a modern city without building a free public library.
 The women of Birmingham have, however, taken hold of the subject, and when they act unitedly results are sure to follow. Let us hope patience and persistence will be intermingled ln tue effort that has just been begun.

Notable Enterprise.

Columbus, Miss, although a city of only seven or eight thousand population is known in New York as one of the few enterprlsing musical cities in the south," said David A Mantagnon, who represents large high-class amusement agencies. Every great artist, vocal and instru- mental, and every first-class orchestra that makes town, counts on a booking in Columbus.
 Marion, Ala, is also another enter prising town in a musical way Leaders in Columbus and Marion think nothing of guaranteeing two or three thousand dollar attractions. The best music Is a luxury that costs a good deal of money ! and only when public spirited citizens come forward and back the financial end of concert or grand opera proposition
 can lovers of the divine art hear the best,
 "Adverting to Columbus the people of that music loving community get two ! expensive attractions to Birmingham or l Atlantas one. Within the past three l years the symphony orchestra has been heard much more frequently in Colum-
 bus than in New Orleans. This speaks
 well, indeed. for Mlsslsssslppis progress | in the matter of culture"

Sunspots At a Maximum

The sun was very spotted two years ago, and 11.13 years has been consid- cred the cycle of sunspot activity. And yet there are today on the sun or near it a well-scattered group of spots besides five isolated spots, constituting a maximum of spot display. This dis play was not billed to appear until 1916, because sun-spots in abundance appeared in 1905.
 No one knows why the spots have refused to conform to the programme of the astronomers of our little swing ing speck in space The truth is, no one knows anything about sun-spots anyway. The most learned and inde- fatigable astronomical observer does not know whether the spots are on the sun. in the sun or outside the sun. They may be prominences, and then again they may be cavities. Anyone can see a small black speck on the sun that is to say, anyone who can com mand a piece of smoked glass, and if he can get to a big telescope he can see that instead of one speck there are many spots on the sun.
 It goes without saying that no one knows what these spots mean to us in this world. They may mean much, and they may mean nothing at all. There are plenty of theories, and, of course, an army of theorists. In round pro- portions the sun spots on the sun are apparently as large as this entire world, but they are ninety-two million miles away, and it is impossible to get in touch with them even by the wire less.
 The sun is rarely without a spot or two,, and it is only when they reach maximum that the public take any interest in them. Just at present the people are studying sun-spots, and the more they study the less perhaps they know or perhaps we should say, the wilder and more improbable are their theories concerning them.

Birmingham's Progress.

People living in Birmingham may not observe it's growth and it's improvement. ," said NJ. l.. Rose of New York, who is registered at the Hotel Hillman, but oc- casionaly visitors remark 1t. Birmng- ham five years ago was pretty live town, but 1t has made great strides since then.
 T think this is the most up-to-date city in the south. It's recent growth is really amazing, and 1 can readily picture in my mind Birmingham in 1920 as a second Chicago. Real estate speculation is usu- ally like all games of chance, but money invested anyhere in the suburbs of Bir- mingham Is almost sure to prove profit able. I am not informed as to realty prices here. but 1t is safe to say that values will be anywhere from 50 to 100 per cent higher two or three years hence
 'The business of the country is wonder fully prosperous. Prophets of evil pre- dicted two years ago that prosperity had about run it's course; but 1t looks now as general trade would continue satisfactory for several years to come. The demand for agricultural and manufactured prod ucts alike is brsker now than ever. Noth- ing but @ series of bad crops can bring us to hard pan. of course, we will have tight money and Wall street furrles from time to time, but periods of depression, such as we used to have, will be farther and farther apart. At least such is the opinion of conservative business men,

Tonsorial Fashions.

Fashions in our line of work change just as they do in dress,' said Frank Houppert, the well known barber. "A few years ago every man cultivated a mustache and many middle aged men wore a full beard. Then the fashion changed, and the clean shaven face was the rule for old and young. Those who elected to wear a beard affected the Van dyke. The fashion is beginning Ito change again. The cropped mustache Is to be in vogue. I think 1t will be the style to keep the beard on the upper lip clipped to look as if it was only of about ten days growth. The short side beard is growing in favor too.
 Tn the days of our youth the hair was parted on the left side, just as we usual ly part 1t today. Afterwards 1t was the fashion to part the hair In the middle. Now men who lead in style are having the part very low on the side-just above the left ear. This may not look well, but it is going to be the rule. Long hair is going out of fashion.
 "The tonsorial styles for the United States originate in New York. What the barbers of that city do, the rest of us are very apt to do. We all take particular notice of the fellow travelling out of New York"

More Lights Needed

Birmingham's residence sections, when seen by daylight, never fail to make a favorable impression on visit ors but many of our best residential streets are without lights and the stranger who passes through them after nightfall expresses surprise that tax payers and those who rent houses do not require the city to provide are lamps.
 It is bad enough when people in a country town have to grope in dark ness. There is certainly no reason why any city of Birmingham size and spirit should be without lights. The municipal government pays for some thing like 4l0 street lights. Besides these lights the Birmingham Railway, light and Power company and certain of the railroad companies jointly pro vide about fifty. Instead of 460 street lights Birmingham should have five hundred and fifty to six hundred. Each arc light costs Birmingham S70 per annum. And when it is remembered that every light does police duty" it woNld be simple economy to illuminate

Cars. on Birminaham's Growth.

Henry R. Carse of the Hanover Ma tional bank, New York, and director or the Birmingham Realty company, Is In the city. MT. Carse's visits to this city are by no means infrequent, but he sald last night: 'I am truly astonlshed by the strides which Birmingham Slas made since I was here last. I came expecting to see growth, but the extent or that growth is far beyond my anticipations. Birmingham is fast assuming a metro- politan appearance. a fact which, sup pose Is more apparent to the visitor than it Is to residents. The nucleus of the great city of the future is already de- fined l wouldn't care to undertake to make any estimates as to the population of the city in the years to come, nor as to it's expansion along industrial, com- mercial and other lines, but can say truthfully that the grswing power of Birmingham seems to me to be almost illimitable."

Millions for Educations

The huge fund now held by the gen eral education board is attracting gen eral attention. The men who have made education a life work are not agreed about it. Many think it may prove harmful, but that is scarcely probable, because the principal is not to be disbursed. The Rockefeller gift is to become permanent fund, and only the income of that fund. about S2,500,000 a year, is to be handed out. IA sum of that proportion will not prove revolutionary in big country.
 How 1t is to be handed out Secretary Butterick recently explained: "We be- lieve," he said, "that education is best accomplished by beginning at the top and working downward. Our first pur- pose, therefore, is the endowment of colleges. Secondly, we are encourag- ing the establishment of high schools DY pIONlulnS Inoll utlOlS lilOuSn lut universities, and lastly, we are seeking to instruct the farmers in scientific az riculture, in cooperation with the de- pertinent of agriculture. We think that the farmer will learn more rapidly by practical demonstrations. Our mot to is, write the theory of scientific az riculture in the soil, rather than on the printed page
 No other official information has been given out, although it has been stated that every city of 100000 inhab- itants in the land is to be aided in se- curing a properly endowed college. The needs of this district in the direction of technical training seem to come within the scope of the Butterick pro gramme, and the nature of the situa- tion should be laid before the board.

Northington was pres ident of the Autauga Banking and Trust company. in which position he was re- markedly successful; but the call of the Chicago of the south was irresistible, and he has severed the ties of his old home to enter wider arena.
