 Ihe selection of these officers is espe- cially important since when Greater Bir mingham becomes effective in October 1903 they will be burdened with the duty or dividing the wards. and electing two aldermen from each new ward. Such aldermen will only serve one year, until October of 1910.
 So far as the other city officers are concerned it Is generally believed that few of them will be placed on the ticket ar 1t will become necessary for the board to select the best possible men at sal ares which it will set itself to cope with the problems of Greater Birmingham.

A GREAT SATISFACTION

A thoughtful parent, whose son re- gently died and who formerly lived at Nashville first figured the cost of ship ping and interring his son there. The cost would have been for carriages and hearse to depot here, $23.5O; railroad fare for family, $49.90 hotel bill, $24; carriages and hearse at Nashville, s33. 50; total cost, S13O 92; besides the loss of time from his business two extra days.
 The parent then priced lots at Elmwood cemetery and bought a six-grave lot for SlOo, which was sold under the perpetual care plan that is, the purchase price also included the care. This saved him the an noyance of having monthly assessments which are charged in the Nashville country graveyard, and now the family are de- lighted, as they can often visit their relatives grave at Elmwood, the modern lawn cemetery, and 1t is great satis- faction to know that their lot will be cared for in future generations without cost to them by the Elmwood Cemetery company, who sell lots on monthly pay ments.

 Remarkable Story.
 It was stated during the afternoon that more than 100 bodies had been laid out ready for removal in No. mine. Daniel Detresco, who saved his father and brother by conducting them to an air hole, of which he alone knew the ex- istence, told a remarkable story of the catastrophe to the crowd about the mine entrance.
 We were working In No. all together by ourselves" he said. We did not say anything but just picked and shoveled and worked like that The lamps began 10 flicker a lilte and we stopped to fix them. My father worked farthest toward No. s, 1 worked alongside and my broth CT across the gallery.

 Each body as 1t appeared from the mine was greeted with tears and ejacu lations of pity. Those whose tears had been dried from excess of sorrow, wept again. The bodies of the dead were mangled beyond description, and it seems doubtful if half of them ever will be identified
 At o'clock it was estimated that 100 bodies were ready to be brought out,

 Premise: Birmingham has plently of it and more. The game is played here by amateurs, professionals. heathens and prohibitionists.
 Conclusion: An election will be pulled off for municipal offices on the third Monday in next September. That date is set by the municipal code as a gen eral law all over the state It brings on political discussion just year earlier than usual.
 The primary will come along between May and August of 1908 as the city com mittee sees fit to decide Already rumors of rumors are circulating, and it ap- pears that no sooner will the Greater Birmingham election be pulled off on Jan pary than quiet campaign will be- gin for the chief executive of Brmng- ham.
 Only yesterday a politician with great Influence in every election was seen in vestigating the figures of the last cleo ton primary. He scratched his head a few minutes and after adding up his numerals decided that his plan wouldn't do.
 The first wave of the time of discussion of course turns naturally to whether there will be a primary or not. Several members of the city committee will not commit themselves but the chairman, Atticus Mullin, does not hesitate to say that, if financial matters are not changed before August, he will oppose a primary, thinking that the expense is unnecessary. On the other hand, it is pointed out that up to this time Birmingham has never failed to have a democratic refer endum and that the danger of compli- f- ms is too great. An authority has

SELMA |S WORRIED BY MAIL THIEVES Letters Are Taken From Porch
 es After Delivery HAS VERY NARROW ESCAPE w. j. Stoddard, a Prominent Citizen, Is Thrown From Bicycle In Front
 of a Rapidly Moving
 Car.

Selma. December 7.-(Special.) )-Selma is again infested with mail thieves or a mail thief. It will be recalled that about q year ago little negro youth was caught opening mail boxes in the post office and extracting letters therefrom It developed that he was in league with a negro named Hutchinson night mailing clerk in the postoffice, who had been suspended for putting mail matter in ths cellar instead of working until he had cleared his table. Hutchinson and the little negro are both serving sentences in the iails of Uncle Sam.
 Lately mail left by carriers at resi- dences throughout the city has been missed There are a number of citizens who have instructed the carriers to throw the mail upon their porches. It was this mail that would be taken as soon as the carriers back was turned. Yes terday J. G. Reed. president of the Knox academy, an institution for negroes sup ported by northern money received a check for $500. A negro about 24 years old carried the letter to the school and stated that he had found it. He said he would accept any reward that might be given him. The mail carrier had only short while left the building and had placed the Identical letter in the mail rack an the door. the accustomed place. The negro had evidently opened the letter and finding the check a large one knew that he could not Use it and depended for remuneration upon any regard that might be given him. He carried Reed to the place where he said he found the letter and nearby was found bits of let ters which when pieced out showed had also been delivered a short while be- fore
 Suspicion did rot fall upon the negro until some time after he had returned the letter and received the reward and he has thus far escaped. A description of him, however, is in the hands of the authorities and it is hoped that he will be apprehended.
 Had Narrow Escape.
 w. J. Stoddard, a prominent citizen had a narrow escape from a horrible death on Broad street today. He was en route on a bicycle to his home and when near the intersection of Broad and Alabama streets little negro boy driving a spirited horse attached to a buggy ran into him, Knocking him from the wheel and in front of a fast moving electric car The inotorman managed to stop the car just perore 1t reached the prostrate form.
 Negro Aady Cut.
 In the neighbortood of Summerheld last night there waA cutting scrape in which Alfred King came near losing his life. Arthur Moore welded the knife in- hicting q cut from near the ear down the neck about seven inches. A half-inch difference in the cut would have severed the jugular vein and caused instant death The negroes were in a craps game and fell out over making change Moore has left the country.

several years experience on the north
side he has never struck a buster. on
the south side there is a cement foun-
dation rock which is hard to penetrate

when once through them, the water is
found to be of a better grade than that
i'm the shallower wells where there is
more or less of the first vein which
carries a certain amount OF alkali and
salt. Mr.. Higgins also holds to the
idea that the water found at the sixty
foot depth on the south side would be
much better than that on the north
side and he advances as his argument
the sudden rise and fall of the water
in the wells on the north side which
is not so noticeable here. which means
that the south side does not carry so
great an amount Of the salt and al
kali. He also believes that the for

means 4 purer vein and consequently
better water. Sooner or later. bored
wells must solve the better water sup

quicker the better.

country, which is strong enough to
keep a pump busy all the time in the
dry season without eXhausting the
supply. As to stock wells. the time will
soon come when the ranchers will find
il necessary to use cement troughs in
stead of the tanks filled by water from
the irrigating bitches. II has been
found that the latter method has in
many instances been detrimental to
the stock. and at the same time there
is a certain portion Of this water per-

for domestic purposes in the vicinity.
1t is not only very unhealthful for the
family use. but when these tanks he
come stagnated in the summer months
it is also unhealthful for the stock
With the bored wells this feature
would exclude all surface drainage and
seepage and would also insure purer
water the year around for family as
well as for stock use.
While the question of seepage and
surface impurities finding its way
into drinking water in the country
districts is a thing that should be

1t is estimated that wells with four
