It was learned, too, from local men, that the club house of the Big Lake Hunting club was burned sometime ago by the people who resented what they considered restriction of their per sonal rights.

 This lake is renowned for it's fishing privileges and the surrounding country is stocked with game.

MISS MCCARTHY DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS

After a long and painful illness, borne with fortitude and resignation, death came yesterday morning at 5:30 o'clock to Miss Christine Mccarthy, aged IT years, youngest daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fergus ". Mccarthy. All that medical skill could suggest or parental love offer was inef- fectuaI to prevent the fatal termination of the attack of typhoid fever which she contracted about four weeks ago. Her numerous friends, who were very solic- itious about her during her illness, ex- press their great grief at her death and also express their sincere sympathy with her parents and sisters in their loss.
 Miss Mccarthy was one of Birming- hams brightest and fairest young girls. She was a pupil in the Birmingham High school, from which she would have been graduated next spring She was a girl of broad intellectual views upon subjects far beyond her years, although a child in disposition and manner. Her classmates and friends were unable to decide was greatest and her teachers regarded her as extremely bright. sg AJi
 Miss Mccarthy was the daughter of Fergus W. Mccarthy, clerk of the circuit court of Jefferson county from 1886 to 1898, and who is now engaged in the prac- tice of law in this city. In addition to her parents she Is survived by two sisters, Miss Zena Mccarthy and Miss Emma Mo Carthy. The deceased, on her fathers side, had many relatives in Mobile and Montgomery, and on her mothers side, who was Miss Stein, she was related to some of the oldest families in the state of Alabama. By strange coincidence just 23 years ago to the day and almost to the hour. MT. McCarthy's eldest child and only son died.
 The funeral services will be conducted by the Rev Father Doyle of Ensley at the family residence this morning at 10 o'clock, after which interment will be in Oak Hill cemetery.

Think It Will Injure Birming- ham In Eyes Of The Out
 side World
WANT TO SEE THIS MADE
 RICHEST COUNTY IN SOUTH
Men Interviewed Yesterday Believe People of the State Will Vote Against the Plan to Cause
 Numerous County Fights.

Many of the merchants of Birmingham are perfectly frank in expressing their opinion on the Ragsdale new county amendment Of 10 called upon yester- day, six were willing to express them selves and the other four said that they were opposed to the amendment. but would prefer not to be quoted.
 Said Oliver Chalifoux: You may put me down as opposed to splitting up Jeff ferson county I have always opposed it. The merchants of Birmingham should stand united in opposing such a measure, and the merchants of 40 other counties, who may be affected just as quickly as we are. should stand behind us and help vote the amendment down. I believe 1t will be defeated. l cannot see why any man not personally interested should vote to create a new set of county officials, another big bunch of politics and whole lot of trouble in dividing up county debts, much less the assured danger of subtract ing trade from the county seats of nearly 40 counties in the state"
 'T stand for the growth and advance ment of Birmingham said John w. O'Neill q believe the people of the state will stand for the same thing. Not pa triotic citizen of Alabama but wants to see Birmingham grow to be the biggest city in the south. It is to the interest of them all, and to cripple Birmingham right now when she most needs help is not in the minds of the voters of any sec ton.
 Birmingham must make a showing for the world The assets of imperial Bir- mingham can easily be grouped as the as- sets of Birmingham, but when you take one-third of them away and group them around Bessemer it will weaken Birming- hams statistical standing before the pub lie just that much It must not be done"
 Alderman C. C. Heidt said: Certainly oppose the new county amendment. Who in Birmingham doesn't? I believe l have seen a few interviews from men who are officials in the Bessemer Land company or some other Bessemer company. but a Birmingham citizen is not going to ad- vocate removing 10000 people from the patronage of our city.
 "As former president of the Board of Trade I want to indorse the action of the board yesterday. I consider that they have not taken so important stand on a public question in a long time"
 M Sommer of the Sommer Tailoring company said: "It is pity that Birming- ham and Bessemer cannot live quietly be- side each other. Still cannot see why Birmingham should sit quietly by and let Bessemer help herself to nearly half of our county. I am opposed to a division of the county and I do not believe it will carry"
 Alderman c. H Estes said Put me down strong. I want to see Jefferson be- come the richest. greatest county of the south, and ] cannot see why Bessemer should have half the wealth of the dis trict. The argument that two smaller counties will result in less corruption and less political filth is absurd. It merely creates twice as many officers with twice as many opportunities for graft

 Tennessee Hunting Clubs


 The fact that Quentin Rankin, the at torney murdered near Union City. Tenn, by night riders. is an Alabamian. with numerous acquaintances in Birmingham, is not the only link making a local end to the story.
 c. F. Riddley, a mining engineer living near Woodlawn, is member of the Reel foot Hunting club, for which club the property was posted against the foot of the trespasser, this fact leading to the death of Capt. Quentin Rankin.
 In addition several prominent gentlemen of Birmingham are members of the Big Lake Hunting club, whose tract of posted territory touches that of the Reelfoot club. It was learned yesterday that in that section of the country where the tragedy occurred are a great number of those fishermen who have no regard for the law. and who, keenly resenting their de- nial of the fishing privileges of Reelfoot lake, reserted to that method which re- suited in the death of Captain Rankin and
