 North Birmingham has her own water works and electric lighting plants. The town Is said to have it's own share of debts as well. Whether Birmingham, in it's present financial straits, would be ready to receive the new territory is a question at issue.

CEMENT PLANT NOT SOLD
Handicapped by Lack of Railroad Facil- ities. a Rich Cement Depost Did
 Not Even Attract a Bidder.

The sale of the White Cliffs Chalk and Cement plant on Little River about eight miles north of this place, which was ordered sold by Judge Rodgers of the Federal Court and which was to take place at the court house in this city on Tuesday, July 2l, failed to be pulled off because of the fact that no one was present to bid on the property, says the Little River News.
 This property is said to consist of one or the richest deposits of cement in the world and was worked about five years ago. Owing to the lack of railroad fa- cilities and other causes the com pany was placed in the hands of a receiver and has been idle dur ing the past four years. Last spring Judge Rodgers of the Federal Court ordered that unless the owners resume operations the plant would be ordered sold. The tlme set by the court expired and no steps were taken towards re- sum p,ion nf the work and the court set Tuesday, July 2l, as the date of the sale. Hon. c. B. Moore, as commissioner, came out Tuesday to make the sale but no persons appeared to bid on the property and the sale has been postponed until August I.
 The minimum price set by the court was $65. 900 and each bid der was required to deposit Sl0- 900 before his bid would be re- coguized.

TRIED TO WRECK
 K. .C.S.PASSENGER
Negroes Fastened Angle Bars to Track Near Rodessa, La., With Evi- dent Purpose of Robbery
 Saved by Section Hand.

Shreveport, July 27.-lsaac and Frank Shepherd, negroes, are held lu the parish jail for an at tempt to wreck a Kansas City Southern passenger train for the purpose of robbery.
 One of the negroes, according to Sheriff Flournoy, has admitted bis guilt.
 The attempt to ditcl the pas senger train and loot the express car was made at Rodessa. A number of angle bars were fas- tened to the rail in such a man. ner that had the train struck them a terrible wreck could not have been avoided and number of lives would doubtless have been sacrificed as the train would have been under full headway at the isolated point where the blacks had planned to wreck it.
 The spot was sufficiently far from the station to have given the robbers time to loot the ex- press car.
 Good fortune was with the im- periled train. While walking the track a short time before the passenger was due, tEe section foreman came upon the angle bars fastened to the rail. He saw at glance it was the work of train wreckers and gave the alarm. The bars were removed from the rails and the officers of Rodessa notified.
