ing demonstration, parades and mass meetings designed to show that the repre- sentatives of labor, without regard to the facts, demand the acquittal of Messrs Haywood and Mover Such meetings can, of course, be designed only to coerce court or Jury In rendering verdict and they, therefore, deserve all the condemna- tlon which you in your letter say should, be awarded to those who enveador im- properly to influence of course of justice.
 Undesirable Type.
 "You would of course be entirely with in your rights If you merely announced that you thought Messrs. Mover and Haywood were desirable citizens though in such case I should take frank issue with you and should say that wholly without regard to whether or not they are guilty of the crime for which they are now being tried, they represent as thoroughly undesirable a type of citizen ship as can be found in ths country; type which in the letter to which you so unreasonably take exception, I should not to be confined to any one class but to exist among some representatives of great capitalists as well as among some representatives of wage eafrers.
 "In that letter I condemned both types. Certain representa- dyes of tho great cap italists in turn condemned me fer in- cluding MT. Hartman in my condeTra- tion of Mover and Haywood; certain rep resentatives of labor in their turn con- demned me because l included Messrs. Mover and Haywood as undesirable clti- zens, together with MT. Hartman. I am as profoundly indffsrert to rhe condem- nation In one case as ir the other. chal- lenge as right to support of all gcod Americans, whether wage earners or cap italists, whatever their occupation CT creed, or in whatever portion Of the ronctry they live when ] condemn b";n .hs 'yp-a of bad e'ti.ensf.o vhici have held r, to repro5ation. seems to me mark of utter insincerity to fail thus to condemn both, and to apologize for either, robs the man thus apologizing of all rights to condemn any wrong doing in any man. rich or poor, in public CT in private life.
 Square Deal.
 You say you ask for square deal for Mover and Haywood. So do I. When say square dear I mean square deal to every one: it is equally violation Of the policy of the square deal for cap italist to protest against denunciation of a capitalist who is guilty of wrong doing, as for labor leader to protest against the denunciation of labor lcder who has been guilty of wrong doing. I ftand for equal justice to both and 20 far as is in my power lies, shall uphold justice whether the man accused of guilt has be- hind iin the wealthiest corpor1tions, :le greatest aggregation of riches in the country. or whether he hds behind him the most influential labor organization in the country. Very truly yours.

tence would occupy the floors correspond ing in height with the court rooms in which their trials are set, over in the proposed addition to the court bpuse, and could be carried across gangways to court when wanted.
 "On the top floors all the sentenced criminals and those whose trials are not pending, would be housed. On the roof there would be an open garden, subject to their use at certain times, where they could get all the fresh aid and exercise necessary.
 Could Keep Prisoners Busy.
 There would also be a laundry, and numerous other little industries run In connection with the jail, giving plenty of occupation and exercise.
 "As to the noise, I do not believe the residents around the present jail can bring any complaint against us under present conditions, and am sure It would be done away with entirely in the new building.
 "The outside of the structure would bear no resemblance to jail, and would be a decoration to our city. It would have no deleterious effect on the value of surrounding property. but would enhance 1t. Why, some of the most valuable property in the city right now is abutting on the city jail.
 'T believe the vote of those who in- vestigate closely the proposition will be to leave the jail where 1t is, and to make the block a beautiful series of county buildings.

 TO DECIDE ON JAIL QUESTION

put to in the matter of handling prison CTS when the jail is as close as it is, you could see how impossible the other proposition is. With a limited number of bailiffs and deputies we are head over heels in work all the time the courts are in session, handling the prisoners. And even then, despite all precautions, 1t Is a wonder that some do not escape. Only the other day a negro woman skipped out. but was recaptured.
 (Which would be the worst moral in- fiuence, county jail on the present site. or a continual line of prisoners in charge of deputies, walking the streets, attracting the attention of the children, and blocking the way of traffic? Some might suggest wagon something like the citys patrol wagon, but that is im- practicable. On two or three days in the week, I have to carry as many as fifty prisoners to the court house in one morn three miles and back.
 "On sentence days, we have to carry twenty-five or more prisoners before the judges within one hour. Besides this, the additional chance of escape in transit is enough to close the discussion. With a negro with as many friends as Robert l.. Dix. how many opportunities of escape would be thrown open to him?
 Would Have to Adjourn Court.
 Then there is still another difficulty. Often capital trial is set in the crini- inal court, first on the mornings docket. Suppose the man pleads guilty or his case Is continued. court would have to adjourn while the other prisoners are

TIE RAIN DON'T STOP THEM
PEOPLE STILL COME IN TROOPS
 FOR PLANT JUICE REMEDIES.

The rain of the past few days has pre- vented the usual large crowds from en- toying the wholesome entertainments given by Col. Frank A. Dillinghams splendid companies of artists in Ensley anc Bessemer, but has had no effect in keeping away the ople who have learned of the w,le( ful healing and beneficial qualities ; his medicine, and all through the day the gentlemen in charge are kept busy answering the calls of the people for these remedies.
 Colonel Dillingham; also finds that there is a gro-. ing demand among the dealers for supplies of the Plant Juice remedies. This comes in a great measure from the owr CTS of country stores, N.no carry a line of standard remedies for the ac- co amodation of their customers One mer- chant from Jasper district called yester- day and made application for a supply of the remedies, saying that the calls for 1t were coming so numerous that he must haze the supplies. Colonel Dillingham; furnished him through one of the job bin5 houses of the city at the same time instructing him to retail the Plant Juice tonic at $1 per bottle, three for $2 50, or six for $5; and the Plant Juice liniment at 25 cents and 50 cents. Plant Juice Salve 25 cents the box and Plant Juice Soap 10 cents the cake or three for 25 cents. Other Inquiries are coming from all sections of the country, where the news of the wonderful healing and cura- tive qualities of the Plant Juice remedies has spread.
 The remedies are all compounded and manufactured under the personal super vision of the discoverer, Colonel Dilling- ham, and are sold to the trade at ad- vantageous prices. The country merchant or druggist who desires to supply the demands for these remedies can always be accommodated by calling on Colonel Dillingham; at his headquarters here in Birmingham or through their jobber. Shipments are always promptly made, charges prepaid.
 Plant Juice, the great discovery, and positive and guaranteed cure for rheu- matism and stomach trouble, continues to effect cures whenever used, and in every instance the result of the treat ment has been most satisfactory. Con- sid ering the fact that the remedy is sold on positive guarantee of cure, if taken according to directions, there is little risk to run, and the sufferer from the terrible pains and agony accompanying rheuma- ttism, indigestion dyspepsia, etc., has lit- tie to fear in taking the treatment.
 The entertainments in Ensley and Besse- mer continue every night this week.
