 Dear Sir beg to acknowledge re- ceipts of yours of the 10th, offering the services of the sheriff and his deputies to the city of Birmingham for the purpose of enforcing the law. Such a stand Is what the people have always expected of you, and 1 have no doubt but the city will be forced to avail itself of the op- portunity shortly. I thank you in be- half of the people of Birmingham.

TAFT FORCES ARE
 GETTING TOGETHER
HITCHCOCK IS IN NEW YORK AND THOMPSON AND SCOTT OF ALA BAMA ARE EXPECTED TO JOIN HIM SOON.

Some interesting announcement con- cerning national politics from a repub- lican standpoint is expected within the next ten days.
 While nothing positive has been given out. everyone admits that the gather ing in the east of republicans of the southern states is interesting and signifi- cant.
 Since agreeing to accept the trust of managing the southern and eastern cam paign of Secretary Taft for the presi- dency, Frank A. Hitchcock, first assistant postmaster general, has gone to New York. J. O. Thompson and Charles H. Scott of Alabama, the Presidents two referees in Alabama, are also in the east and the understanding is that both will go to New York.
 Inasmuch as it is generally conceded by everyone that the republican office holders in the south are favoring Roose- welt first and Taft second. the deduction is drawn that after the referees return from the east there will be some in- terestng announcement made. It is ex- pected that an active campaign for MT. Taft will be inaugurated.

DRINKING MEN NOT WANTED

The above sign is now seen in many sh ops and offices In this city, because drinking men are unreliable.
 Competition is too keen and life is too strenuous for an employer to keep men on his payroll whose nerves are unsteady and whose brains are not clear.

 Drunkenness is a disease and like most diseases--has it's remedy. Orrine is the reliable treatment and is sold under a positive guarantee to effect a cure or your money will be refunded Orrine is in two forms; No. l, which can be used without the patients knowledge in tea. coffee or food, and No. for those who wish to be cured.

Tom Pounds, the well known Louisville and Nashville engineer, when he re- ceived two magnificent turkey gobblers, was astounded knowing not from whence they came, nor what could have prompt ed the man who sent them.
 On arriving home, however, he read the following letter:
 Some days ago, I was standing on hill some 200 feet from the Louisville and Nashville track. and witnessed an in- cident which impressed itself on my mind. The Louisville and Nashville, while rounding a curve at the rate of 30 miles an hour, was bearing down on a drove of 75 turkeys. You rang your bell and blew the whistle, all of which, instead of frightening the birds from the track, caused them to lose what little reason they have. They huddled together in a bunch, and I expected to see the en- zine instantly crush them everyone be- meath the wheels.

POSTMASTERS COME
 HERE ON TUESDAY
Presidential Officials Will Meet In Birmingham To Form State
 Association.

On next Tuesday there will be a meet ing held in Birmingham of all the presi- dential postmasters in the state for the purpose of forming state association. It is expected that at least 50 of these government officials will attend the meet. ing.
 The purpose of the organization is to get in closer touch with each other and in this way better the service. In form ing this association Alabama is falling Tn line with most of the other states in the union where associations have already been organized.
 There has been a good deal of rumor to the effect that the meeting would be po- litical in it's aspect, but this is denied by those who are interested in the hold ing of the meeting.

 opinion.
 straining order on all the officers of the state. time was set for the hear ing of the states answer. On account of the states inability to prepare its answer by the time of the date set for the first hearing, an extension was granted to January 6. In the mean time, however Judge Jones happened to an accident in dismounting from Montgomery street car, and postpone ment of another week was necessary.
 This postponement was until Mon- day, January 1S The attorneys of both sides of the controversy have been ex- ceedingly busy since the issuance of the injunction, and it is almost certain that the state and the railroads will be ready when the court opens Monday. Another general idea of the railroads contention Is that the new laws are conflscatory, and that they show dis crimination in that the Louisville and Ma shville Is not allowed to earn as much in it's freight traffic as other rOaOS, tHotdply, tne ooulHeiH, Aidpdild Great Southern, and others which have acceded to the demands of the state. All other roads of the state save those party to the federal injunctions, have put into effect the passenger and freight rates of the state. In case the Louisville and Nashville wins its con tention. interesting complications will arise in reference to the rates to be demanded by the roads which have ac- ceded to the demands of the state. The controversy between the state and the Louisville and Nashville. 1t is confidentally believed by all concerned, will eventually go to the supreme court l for final adjudication.
