REFUSED REBATE.
Dispensary Discontinued Wants the
 License Money Back.

If yoi secure license from me to sell liquor, and then are not allowed to do business by other authorities it Is not my fault" is the dictum laid down by Uncle Sam. He makes 1t very plain that after he gets his hands on money from this source he won't turn 1t loose again, and anyone in this line of business who is compelled to close his shop will not re- ceive any rebate on his federal license.
 This fact was illustrated at the internal revenue office yesterday morning when letter was received from the dispensary at Columbia. The letter stated that the dis pensary at that point had been compelled to go out of business on account of the enforcement of the temperance laws by the present legislature, and requested that they be allowed rebaTa on their license for the unexpired time. Uncle Sam couldn't see things in that light, how over and poured cold water on the re- quest. Other liquor men in the same con diton as the Columbia dispensary will be treated in the same manner.

HORSE RUNS AWAY
 WITH THE WASHING
ANIMAL ATTACHED TO ATKINS LAUNDRY WAGON GIVES ATURF EVENT WITHOUT RULE REGU- LATloNs IN WEST END.

Horses have often been known to run away to avoid washing, but 1t is a rare thing for them to run away with the wash" which is what a horse hitched to an Atkins Laundry company wagon did yesterday afternoon on Tuscaloosa avenue in West End. The horse was standing very patiently. and to all ap- pearanees unconcerned in front of. res idence which the driver had just gone into to deliver a bundle of laundry. The horses brain was planning mischief. how ever, and passing car gave him an eN- cuse for putting it into operation.
 Without warning 1t gave one long jump and then tore down the road in a race against tine endeavoring to break Dan Patch's record. Any racing judge would have ruled the race out on a foul though, for this particular horse galloped paced trotted, ran and loped, switching from one side of the road to the other and then back aagin.
 After running for nearly half a milo 1t managed to turn the wagon over and dragged it for some distance in this man. ner The burden was too heavy this way and soon brought the horse to a stand still With the exception of a broken pane of glass in the side of the wagon and a few scratches no damage was done although the runaway caused considerable excitement in that quiet suburb

CLAIM IS REFUSED.
Coroner Paris Has Monthly Tilt With
 the Board of Revenue.

Coroner Paris and the Board of Reve- nue continue to have their little falling out regularly every month by the board declining to allow certain of his claims for the expense of holding inquests. The August tilt came Thursday at the regu- lar monthly meeting of the board when the board refused 10 pay for the expense incurred by the coroner's investigation into the deaths of Clifford Wofford and Will Fox.
 Both of the cases were those of suicides -Wofford being found dead in a house on Alley A, between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets, the investigation of morphine Fox committed suicide after shooting his former wife, who was residing in a resort In the restricted dis trict
 Coroner Paris thinks the board is over stepping its authority in refusing to pay these two claims, claiming that 1t Is plain- ly stated in the statutory laws of Ala bama that the coroner shall hold an n- vestigation over the body of any dead person wherein the cause is not publicly known and In which the death Is sur rounded by shady circumstances. He states that he could have empanneled jury in either of the above cases. which would have cost the county at least s25 for each but as they stand now the actual expense of holding same was less than s6.

PIG IRON MARKET
 NOW VERY QUIET
ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO BE IN EVIDENCE LATER IN THE MONTH-PRESSUR FOR SHIP MENTS CONTINUES.

The Birmingham pig iron market is ex ceedingly quiet. but later in the month brisk buying will probably be in evidence again.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report for the current week follows:
 The market for pig iron continues firm. There has been more inquiry during tho week and business showed improvements to some extent. Actual transactions have been confined to small lots, but there have been several large inquiries out and some business of good size pending
 The strike of ore laborers at the upper lake ports has spread and makes 1t ex- tremely dull in that neighborhood. be- side cutting down the movement of ore to an amount which is estimated during July of about 2,5o0,Oo0 tons. At the pres ent time 1t Is extremely hard to say when or what will be the outcome, and while furnaces will not suffer particularly dur ing the summer or fall. if there is any continuance they will feel It very seri- ously next winter.
 Pressure for shipments on existing ord CTS continues without let up, and from this and other evidences it is believed there Is as small a stock of iron on con- sumers yards as there has been at any time this year.
 There is a fair current demand for foun- dry coke and the market is without change The production has been cut down seriously on account of the hot weather in the various fields. The bet ter brands are well sold up for ship ment during the entire year.

MILLER TALKS OF
 PRACTICAL MATTERS
Possibilities of a Greater Bir-
 mingham Immense
WANTS LIBERAL DEALING
Larger Census Figures Mean h. creased Wealth and Happiness. PessimIsts Should Be
 ReIegated.

Tt seems to me that Birmingham and the Birmingham district are on the eve of greater prosperity than was ever known in our history" remarked John H. Miller, Esq, yesterday
 'I see nothing to keep us back save the possible adverse signature of our gov ernor to the Greater Birmingham bill say possible because 1t has ben inti- mated that the chief executive may have been led to see things a little differently from the general public.
 With our vast resources and possi- bilities, under wise legislation Birming- ham can and will meet Nature half way The passage of a Greater Birmingham bill will be better for our city than d great river possibly could be. It means really, among other things, the creation of water supply adequate to all demands, the turning of natural streams, small and great, just as we want them, and a per feet application of every natural re- source.
 What we need Is liberality expansion and general public improvement, conserva- tism and yet progressive management of our public affairs. We want to relegate the pessimist to the rear, and put the optimistic idea In the lead, and the slogan should be: He who dallies Is a dastard and he who doubts Is damned
 Some time ago." remarked the speaker '1 paid a visit to the east and there con versed with many men of broad view and of financial strength. Referring to the last federal census they asked me how 1t was that the great banks of Birming- ham showed such immense deposits and such enormous business with so small a population. My answer was that munich pal lines were not business lines; that ther was Greater Birmingham, just as there was a Greater Birmingham, just as now have a real city of 100000 people
 T am sure that municipal lines should indicate this fact, and that when Bir- mingham gets it's just dues on the census table 1t will prove strong impetus to the still more rapid growth of the city The repeal of the foreign tax law was wise stroke. It meant cheap money for Birmingham. but a greater population shown by the census will make 1t cheaper still and give to Birmingham and to the Birmingham people still greater strength before the eyes of the world"

CROP PROSPECTS APPEAR EXCELLENT Observations ot Two 0bSerVant
 Men TENNESSEE VALLEY STRONG Decatur Man and Birmingham Man Both Jublant Over Outlook for
 the Farmers of the
 Valley.
TENNESSEE VALLEY STRONG

Alabama is going to make one of the largest corn crops ever made in the history of this state" remarked w. C. Preston of Decatur.
 Tn early June the whole crop propo- sition looked doubtful in Alabama" he added, "but Providence sent us rain and sunshine in proportion and all will be wei.
 Speaking of crops and crop failures" added MT. Preston, do you recall that there has not been a real cotton crop failure in Alabama since 1866? Such is a fact. Of course, we have had long and short crops. but there has been no real crop failure since that year, and even then cotton brought 50 cents per pound.
 This year the stand Is not good but the plant living is promising good re- suits. My judgment, from observation, Is that there will be a shortage of the staple but not by any means a failure of the crop. It appears that prices will fully sustain all losses by indictment weather neglect, or shortage of labor ana I see no cause for complaint. If Alabama would only quit buying meat and bread from the west and stick closely to the idea of home production of these short cotton crops would not interfere with, disturb or in any way molest the farmers of this state. It is possible to make forty or fifty bushels of corn on many Alabama acres without the use of commercial fertilizers, and with hay as a supplemental stock feeder and market product, 1t would be a hard matter to starve a genuine Alabama farmer"
 Postmaster Rivers J. Carter returned yesterday from the Tennessee valley, where he spent several days. Said he:
 q do not believe l ever saw such transformation of possibilities in the corn and cotton fields of any section of the country, as that brought forth fin the Ten nessee valley between early June and this date. Those farmers accounted themselves rulned in June, but today are jubilant over the revivlfying effects of sunshine and rain, and of an extraordinary touch of the blow and the hoe.
 "In other words, the farmers of the Tennessee valley are jubllant over the crop prospect, and as usual will reap rich reawrd for their patience and their labor.
 You may put 1t down as a certainty that there is no crop failure in the Ten nessee valley"

POLICEMEN WANT
 LARGER SALARIES
COMMITTEE PREPARES DETAILED EXPENSE ACCOUNT SHOWING EXPENSE OF FAMILY TO BE $87 PER MONTH-ASk FOR RAISE.

About sixty-flve men who comprise the local police force have struck a decidedly tough row of stumps. ghey have, through a specially appointed commit tee, figured that it costs them $S7 a month to defray the expenses of living, when they are only receiving from s65 to s75 a month
 The committee has conservatively hg- ured out the expense of living these stren- uous days, and have concluded that they are not being paid enough. A petition will consequently be presented to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen at the next meet ing of the City Council asking for an ln- crease in the salaries of the men. No specific amount of increase is specified in the petition. The amount will be left 10 the committee of the council.
 The committee which has been working on the question is composed of Officers Nix, Williams, Dixon. Burke. Newman and Brown. These officers have been call ing on the members of the finance com mittee for the past few days, and 1t Is their belief that their petition will be granted.
 They figure that the actual cost of living for a policeman with a family is $97, the detailed expense account being as follows;
 Groceries for man of family, $35; rent, $l5; market $5; milk and butter, $6; uni forms, $3. 50; coal, $3 50; shoes, $2; laundry, s2; doctor bills, g; clothing for family, SIP. This does not include incidental expenses, such as insurance and other things.
