Chicago a Good Model.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 One of the weakest arguments ever advanced by an advocate Of prohlbi- ton was one presented last sunday at the Jefferson theatre by SeCorn Wright of Georgia. He held up Chica- go as a horrible example of the liquor traffic and warned the people or Bir- mingham lest they abolish the sale of liquors this city may become as Chica- go Is today Now. if the people of Bir- mingham really knew what Chicago IS today. they would vote almost unanl- mously against prohibition. if by so do- ing this city could attain to the great ness of Chicago. Chicago is the young est city in the world having popula- ton of two and a half millions of peo- ple That city has more and better public libraries than any other city Tn the world. Her educational institu- tions are unsurpassed. Her art insti- tutions and museums are unr1Vaileu. m literature and art she Is in the front. She supports the best muslcai organ ization in the world. Commercially she is supreme. No city has more or panized movements for the better"Nent and advancement of the people an has Chicago. No body Of people nave more civic pride in the improvement of heir city than the citizens or Chi- cago. And yet the people Of chicago would vote three to one against any arbitrary prohibition of the liquor traf- fc. Why? Because liberty" (the big gest and grandest word in the English language) is enthroned in their hearts. Nothing will retard the growth or Birmingham and the south more thah q return to the blue laws or the past It will discourage and drlNe away an enlightened citizenship. Dwarfed inteilects and shivelled sous
  "Rlue laws" mean nothing else than forcing ones own narrow, ignorant and preiudiced views of life upon an other. WILLIS NJ. ANDREWS,

CROWDS COMING
 FROM EVERYWHERE
COLBERT COUNTY WILL HAVE A BIG DELEGATION AT THE FAIR. HOTELS AND RESTAURANT LAYING IN EXTRA SUPPLIES.

There is no doubt about the crowds coming to the Alabama State Fair, which opens in Birmingham October for an eght-day season. Reports from all the eenters of population are that the pcor' 9 are packing their grips for the metropolis and that the farmers have never shown such an interest in a state exhibition Every railroad in the state has granted re- duced rates to Birmingham for the eight day season, most of them straight fare, plus 20 cents and 50-cent admission to the fair grounds for the round trip. Some roads have granted special excursion rates from certain points at an even lower figures. Agents everywhere in Ala bama and Mississippi declare the advance inquiries concerning tickets Is heavier than ever before.
 w. H. Saddler of Sheffield. one of the vice presidents of the fair. has written that Colbert county is preparing to ad- journ to Birmingham. He has reserved rooms in the city for a large party from Sheffield and declares there are more people coming from that section than ever attended state fair. Colbert county is to make a particularly fine showing at the fair, chiefly through the good work of Mir. Saddler.
  minsham are receiving heavy mall con eerning reservations during the fair sea- son, and indications are that the city will be crowded beyond Its capacity. It may be necessary to call on some or the homes Of the city to accommodate some ol Rc thousands who will Journey to Biyfninsham for the big show. Restaur- ants are laying in a special supply and expect crowded rooms during the eight days of the fair.
 To prevent crowding at the gates the turnstile system will not be used, and there will be every facility for the pur- chase of tickets. The main entrances, each with four gates, will be used to let the throng pour in and out, and the wagon entrance at the east end of the grounds will assist in preventing conges- ton.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will put on the limit Of cars, and an extra force will be used to keep the crowds moving.

CHRISTIE TO TRY
 FOR FAST RECORD
BIG AUTO RACER COMING AND MANAGEMENT HOPES TO MAKE EVENT ONE OF BIGGEST DAYS AT FAIR.

Alabamians will be given an exhibition of the greatest speed and devil-may-care auto driving ever witnessed in the south during the coming State Fair when the great 135-horse power Walter Christie au- tomoblle will be sent for the worlds s track records october 16. Not only this. but some thrilling and nerve-tingling races will be run over the same track, the terrific speed marvel taking part in them
 General Manager Barnes of the State Fair is enthusiastic over the automobile day and before the programme is com- pleted and given the public in it's en- tirety he will have on 1t card that would prove attractive in the great auto centers of New York and Paris. Reports from New York, where Walter Christie was taken, after his near-death accident in Pittsburg recently are very favorable as to the millionaire inventors condition.
 Homer George, publicity and advertls- ing manager for the Christie wonder, ar rived in Birmingham last night from Chi cago, where he went for a conference with Charles A. Coey. holder of the worlds amateur driving championship. and winner of many of the big events of the year MT. Coey is now driving one of the famous Vanderbilt cup racing cars and he is being sought as an added at traction. He is under contract to appear only under the direction of William Pick ems and MT George. but his business IS so extensive in Chicago he has not yet determined whether he will be able to come sonth.
 The Birmingham Automobile club will be asked to take up the automobile day with the State Fair officials and help make it the greatest day of the coming fair The club is sure to be Interested and it is probable that it's members will race for handsome silver cup anu ;ro- phy emblematic of the Birmingham championship. MT. George announced last night that he would personally of- fer a rich trophy if the Birmingham au- tuists cared to contest for it. Such an event would be second in interest locally only to the appearance of the Christie car.
 This 135-horse power ear is that with which MT. Christie clipped a full second off the worlds record at St. Paul recent ly when he went a mile in 52 seconds. and that which he was driving when he plunged so close to death in the terrible accident which resulted in two deaths and his injury at Pittsburs three weeks ago The Birmingham track is consid cred as fast as any in America, and il 's will be set here. The car will be raced
 in Pittsburg Saturday and then shipped south.

q REWARD OF CHARITY.
CatulIe Mendes,

Upon a Spanish highway, where all the pretty girls and handsome youths were returning arm in arm from the bull fight. a youthful mendicant with ragged cloak thrown round him, was praying for aims. vowing that no food had passed his lips for two whole days.
 Notwithstanding the firmness of his tanned skin. which could be seen peep ing out through the rents and tears of his ragged clothes. one felt at a glance that he was no imoostor. The half starved look in his eyes and his sunk en cheeks betokened the want of nour- ishment.
 The crowd, however, paid but little attention to him and passed him by,

 May our brethren dwell within its halls in brotherly love. relief and truth. and may charity ever be its cornerstone.
