Delaying Peach blooms.

Late frosts In the spring are dread,
ed by all horticulturists in the south.
Experiments have been made In Mis-
souri, that have worked admirably in
delaying the bloom on peach trees. This
was done by embarrassing the trees In
the fall. The whitewash was put on
the trees with a sprayer. so as to touch
all the limbs. The trees absorbed less
heat on sunny days during the winter
and the buds and blossoms remained
practically dormant. The whitewast
delayed blooming about u week.

AGREE ON RATES
 IN FOUR STATES
Report Has 1t That Southern Will Grant Flat Rate of 21s Cent
 Per Mile.

The first intmation of what occurred in the conferences in Washington be- tween Governor Conner of Alabama, Gov ernor Glenn of North Carolina, Cover nor Smith of Georgia, and w. w. Finley, president of the Southern Railway, was contained in special from Washington yesterday and was to the effect that the Southern Railway had agreed to a uni form rate in the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia.
 Confirmation of this report was impos- sible yesterday. The local officials of the road have learned nothing of the re- ported agreement, and Governor Conner, who has returned to Montgomery, gave nothing out in that city relative to this matter.
 According to the report, however, which comes from high authority, the Southern has agreed to a 21s fiat passenger rate in the four states concerned, with mile- age at 2A cents.
 As is generally known, the four states concerned have in the past made strenu- ous effort to bring about a uniform passenger rate, but heretofore with little success. It is remembered that toestab- fish a uniform rate in these four states, there was a meeting of the governors in Atlanta sometime ago, and meeting, at the same time, of representatives of the railroad commissions of these states. Later developments in the Washington report will be awaited with interest.

'TRAUB STOCK
 ORDERED SOLD
Judge Hundley Gives Special Hearing On Case and Overrules Special
 Master Rudulph.

A sale of the bankrupt stock of Jacob Traub was ordered by Judge Oscar R. Hundley last night after a hearing given by him to the attorneys representing all of the different parties interested. The sale was ordered to take place at F clock, noon, Saturday, December H. at auction.
 E. G. Chandled was appointed receiver for Jacob Traub when the petition in bankruptcy was filed. Chandler aft erward filed 0 petition for a sale, which Traub and certain creditors objected to- Judge Hundley referred the matter to l T. Rudulph as special master. and Spec ial Master Rudulph sustained demurrers to petition and denied the sale.
 On appeal Judge Hundley overruled Special Master Rudulph and at the hear ing last night ordered the sale. Present at the hearing were c. B. Powell, at torney for Jacob Traub; Thompson & Thompson, representing certain creditors; Lee J. Marx, Brown & Murphy and A. Leo Oberdorfer, representing certain oth- CT creditors, and M. M. Ullman, rep resenting Receiver Chandler. The hear ing was begun at 7:30 in Judge Hundleys chambers and lasted for nearly two hours

TWO ROADS AFTER
 BNSLEY SOUTHERN
THE CENTRAL OF GEORGIA, HOW- EVER, IS BELIEVED TO BE ACT ING IN THE INTEREST OF THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL.

That the Central of Georgia railroad, probably acting for the Illinois Central. owned by the Southern railroad, is pretty well established, and it is now generally understood in railroad circles that for this purpose, President Hanson and Gen eral Manager Noise of the Central of Georgia, were in Birmingham last week.
 In this connection, too, it is stated on good authority, that the Central of Geor- gia or the Illinois Central, would prefer to own the Ensley Southern to having the trackage right, for the little branch opens LID valuable mineral lands, to get into which the Central of Georgia has shown a deal of anxiety.
 It is pointed out, too, that if the Illi- nois Central owned the Ensley Southern, by building from Jasper to this branch, it would have a track of it's own into Birmingham. The Illinois Central, 1t is understood, will enter Birmingham in January, and will come to the city over the tracks of the Frisco. Since the pur- chase of the Central of Georgia by the Illinois Central, it is understood that a development of that line, running through splendid territory, will be actively nushed. The effort towards the acquisi- t,oa of the Ensley Southern is believed to be the first step in the general di- rection of improvement and develop ment.

CAN USE CEMENT BLOCKS. Mayor Allows Permits To Be Issued
 With Certain Restrictions.

The Mayor has ordered resumption of permits for the construction of cement block structures under certain regula- tons. In the meantime, as soon as tle weather permits, the fire chief will begin the test of the cement blocks, which will be quite elaborate. Here is a letter writ ten by the Mayor to the building inspec- tor:
 December, 9, 1907. w. o. Matthews, Building Inspector. Dear Sir-This is to advise that the in- structions contained in my letter of No vember 20 'relative to issuing permits for buildings made of cement blocks are here with withdrawn pending the investiga- tions now being made by the Council committee.
 In the meantime if any permit is is- sued for a cement block building you are instructed to maintain close supervis- ion oyer all material that goes into said structure.
 Should any application be made for building of this material inside the fire limits you are further instructed to re- port same to this office before issuing permit and it will be submitted to Coun- cil. Respectfully,
 GEORGE WARD, Mayor.

MERCHANTS OPPOSE LICENSE SCHEDULE;

 ing Campaign.

than our share? Why don't they de- crease expenses by trimming down the mayors salary from 5000 to s250O? Why don't they decrease a dozen or more sal aries around the city hall, and cut down expenditures instead of heaping up every thing on the merchants.
 You may quote me as strongly as yoa like, for I think it is an outrage. The schedule as proposed is all out of propor- tion.
 Tn the first place, the city hasn't got any right to pass class legislation such as this schedule. They put the same H. cense on all shoe makers, on all soda fountains, and on all saloons, until this year, but when it comes to merchants in dry goods, groceries, hardware etc, they divide them into classes according to their stock which is just as unconstitutional as was the proposed ordinance placing different licenses on saloons in separate districts. They ought to set license for selling dry goods at an equitable price and then let any man who wants to enter the business take out his license like other men. I am bitterly opposed to the schedule.'
 A. M. Beck, of the wholesale grocery company, stated that the wholesale gro- cers will take the license matter up this week, and will appear before the joint committee to register their complaints.
 Many Favor Street Tax.
 A favorable sentiment seems to pre- dominate, with some exceptions, for the street tax. Alderman Estes and num- Der of others consider it the most equita- ble way to divide fhe cost among the peo- pie, and he did not see how anyone who used the Birmingham streets, water, lights, and public institutions could oD- iect ta having little S3 street tax The merchants who were seen yesterday did not raise much objection to the street tax, but they are all attacking the license schadi1la

NEAT FLIMFLAMMER Takes Advantage of Boarding House Keepers In Several Instances.

There is a iim-hammer going the rounds in the residence section who has duped a number of boarding house ladies. He walks up to the house, asks to rent a room, looks it over, tells the landlady that he will take it, and pays her in ad vance. He then hands out a check for twice the amount the room costs. where upon the unsuspecting woman gives him his change in good scrip. and he leaves never to return.
 The boarding house lady tries to cash her check and finds it worthless. The fellow is reported as fine looking. well dressed, and supplied with slick tongue. The best way to handle him. it to refuse the money until he brings his baggage.
