ADVANCE IN RATES
BIRMINGHAM COAL SHIPPERS ARE
 STIRRED UP
Claim That If This is Done Alabama Dealers Will Not be Able to Com pete with Pennsyl-
 v1nln

Birmingham, April 15. Especial. )- If there is to be any advance in freight rates on coal from the Birmingham district to New Orleans and the Louisiana section of the country, as intimated in articles printed in the New Orleans papers. freight or coal men in this district have not been advised
 The rate at present is $1. 25 per ton on coal from Birmingham to New Or leans and this gives opportunity to compete with coal from Illinois and even Pennsylvania notwithstanding the latter coal Is handled by all-wa- ter route to New Orleans. An ad- vance in the freight rates of even twenty-five cents per ton would play havoc with the great trade that is beino worked up between Birmingham and New Orleans, in fact would almost wipe out the business entirely during the summer.
 Some good contracts are secured annually by Alabama coal producers in New Orleans. An advance of twenty-five cents per ton would bring up the freight charges to that on H. linois coal. though the latter is ham dler almost as far again as the Ala balna coal. The contracts held by Albama producers for coal shipped into New Orleans call for a large quantity of coal annually and those questioned about the proposed advance in freight rates were interested no little

ELKS' HOME IS SOLD
SELMA CLUB HOUSE PURCHASED

 News.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma April Is.
 The beautiful home of Selma Lodge, No. 167, B. P O. Elks, at the foot of lAndArdale Street on the Alabama River. was sold at auction in front of the courthouse of Dallas County at noon today. The sale was made to satisfy mortgages which were held by the Selma National Bank and the Peoples Bank and Trust Company of this city Tor the bonds which the lodge issued to build the home.
 The. Elks' Home is one of the most perfect homes of it's kind in the United States. It will prove an ideal location for club, and it was for this purpose that it was bid In by a number of the business people of the city. Originally tt is said the home cost the Selma Eiks t35.000 It is elegantly furnished and fitted up throughout.
 One of the great sources of attrac- lion about the home in the past has been the three wide verandas which face the Alabama River at whose very edge the building was erected. The building proper is two stories high with a basement, which practically makes 1t three-story building. The Foundation for the building cost be- tween $6.o00 and s7.000 alone.
 After the terms of the sale were read to a large crowd which had gathered fin front of the court house at noon, the sale was started. It was soon known that the bidding would be spir- tied. for it had been known for some time that the Harmony Club wanted the EIks' Home. A number of the business men of the city, it was also learned af- terwards, had banded themselves to- gether for the purpose of bidding In the building.
 The first bid made on the Home was by P. J. Loughlin, who started 1t or at $18.500. From that moment the bidding was spirited and lasted for an hour before it was finally knocked down to W. J. Conniff, agent for the Selma Realty Company. The price for which the Home was knocked down to Mir. Conniff was $29,050. This Is con sidered very reasonable price.
 After the Home had been knocked down to MT. Conniff, he went to the

Heavy Fine Imposed.

Judge Samuel l.. Weaver lectured a negro in the Criminal Court today for carrying concealed weapons-fned him $250 and sentenced him to serve three months at hard labor. This is one of the heaviest fines and longest sentences ever imposed for a similar offense and puts Judge Weaver on re- cord as being willing and ready to stop the practice of promiscuous pistol "toting."
 The man who fell victim to the court today was William Cornelius, who Is said to have been trying his hand in the wood near Ketona when spotted by a commissariat. One of the bullets Is said to have struck the store and bare ly missed one of the customers.
 T am tired of this thing of carry ing pistols said Judge Weaver and I propose to put stop to 1t. There Is no use putting nominal fine upon the average negro and In future when 1t is shown that a man carries a gun propose to stick 1t to him so hard that he will never carry another weapon" |"

WRECK AT PATAULA
| FREIGHT TRAIN OF CENTRAL DROPS THROUGH TRESTLE
Giles Watson, Negro Brakeman, is Killed and Fifteen Cars are Burned--AlI Trains are
 Delayed.

Eaufaula. April Is. Especial. )- Through freight train No. S4 with Engineer Ben Cox at the throttle. which passed through here last night was wrecked while crossing the Pataula trestle twelve miles from the city. As a result nine loaded cars of freight were burned and negro
 Upon approaching the trestle Engin- ger Cox discovered that it was on fire but the grade was so steep and the train was moving at such a rapid rate of speed, he saw 1t w0RM be impossi- ble to come to a stop and so decided to pull his engine wide open with the hope of Jumping over 1t.
 This he succeeded in doing with the engine and tender and thereby saved his life and that of the fireman.
 The burning trestle was too far gone to bear the pressure of the long string of loaded freight cars and immediately after the passing over of the engine and tender there was a mighty crash and fully half of the long line of cars sank in broken mass to the ground perhaps twenty feet below. The mass was soon in a blaze and nine cars of freight went up in smoke.
 As soor as the news reached here a wrecking crew was dispatched and No. 6, tn East bound passenger tram which reached here on schedule time proceeded to the scene of the wreck and remained to render what assis- tance was possible.
 A telegraph station was establish ed at the scene of the wreck and a temporary office was maintained there to expedite business as soon as the road can be cleared. The amount of damage cannot be estimated up to this hour but the loss will be heavy.
 The trestle crosses the Pataula creek, which Is fully eighty-five feet wide and the entire swamp. making the whole length fully three quarters of mile. It lies in 8 vallay with a heavy down grade approaching from both directions, and 1t Is always with difficulty that trains can be controlled uron approaching 1t from either di- rection.
 Citizens have been going over to view the scene throughout the day and say that it Is among the worst that has eyer occurred in this section.
 The body of Watson, the negro brakeman. was brought to Eufaula for interment He had been employed by the railroad twent~ years.
