A united effort is now being made
by the influential agencies of this
city to increase the poulation to the
so, 900 mark.
Has it occurred to you, brother
in black, that you are about to miss
the main chance, that you are about
to make an error in the second in
ming which may result in your losing
the game q
Any such increase Of population
as is contemplated means q proper
tionate increase in the demands for
homes. An increased demand for
homes means a rise in our already
abnormal real estate values. If
you do not now attach yourself to
the soil by purchasing a lot upon
which you may later erect your own
house, you may soon find yourself
unable to rent a house even in an
alley. ~.
Desirable lots are yet to be had
in the suburbs at figures within the
reach Of the day laborer. If YOU
do not avail yourself Of the oDporI.
tunity now, you may have cause to
regret 1t next year or even next
month. Why do you wait, dear
brother? Oh, why do you tarry so
long?

 Pascagoula, Miss. Dec. 30-(Special) --Pascagoula Is a seaport on the Mis- sissippi Sound. situate forty-one miles west Of Mobile and 100 miles east of New Orleans. The name Is derived from the Pascagoula Indians, twhite bread eaters). one of the tribes of the Choc. taw nation. which held possession of 1t Is admirably located on the bay and river of It's name and is environed by yellow pine forests and hard wood swamp lands extending into the inte- rior fifty miles.
 A considerable commerce had been es. tablished In the manufacture and export of lumber and timber and 1t Is still in- creasihg.
 The town of Scranton may be consid- cred as the center, while Moss Point Is the mart for this commerce. The spirit of civic advancement has been inaug- urated by the citizens and many not able improvements are now in progress, such as concrete sidewalks and surface drainage. This work Is being executed by the Sullivan Davis Construction Company. of Montgomery. Public and private whafves. piers and mooring billings are also being installed.
 This innovation is oecasioned by the entrance Into the port of large steam ships and square Figged vessels that frequently come for cargo for the mar kets of Europe. South America. Cuba, Mexico and South Africa. Tn this con- nection 1t would be we'll to state that a considerable expenditure of money Is made by the owners of these ocean car riers for supplies and furnishings which not only contribute to the pros perity of the popuiace. but enriches the merchants of Mobile and New Orleans.
 There are a number of enterprises in contemplation. one being thAerection of a block of concrete buildings. It is the purpose of the municipal anthori- ties to encourage and promote the building of fine reads throughout the entire Incorporation.
 A thrilling romance is associated with the seaside resort of Pascagoula. For a century the mysterious music" that rises from the waters of the river and its indentures has created no little spec ulation as to its origin. Many believe 1t to be the songs of the Indian maid ems who perished during conflict with the Biloxi tribe. Tn stiil moonlight nights in mid-summer, this strange noise may be distinctly heard. It is similar to the music of the aeolian harp and the question Is often asked. Is It caused by the wind, the drum fish. some insect or Is it really the doieful chant of the brave warriors and their squaws as they entered the swirling tide into watery graves. preferring death to cap tivity.

TO CONFER TO-DAY
SENATORS BANKHEAD AND JOHN
 sT0N TO MEET THOMPSON.
Departmemsal Matters Win Be Dts- cussed and Some .Appointmenfs That Are Soon To Be Mades
 Watl Be Considered.

Birmingham, Dec. 20.---tSpecial.)-- A conference between Senators Joseph r. Johnston and John H. Bankhead with q. O.. Thompson. the referee of the President and chairman of the Re- publican party in Alabama, on Aon- day, which has been requested for the purpose of discussing departmental matters alone, may also bring about a little consideration of some appoint ments that have been made already in this State or about to be made.
 Captain Johnston, who returned to the city yesterday and attended church today, is outspoken in saying that the conference which will be held tornor- row in this city, is on departmental matters.
 The favorable inclination of Senator Johnston so far towards Judge Hund- ley is not being commented on any by those who are opposing the com firmation of the judge. That many Of the attorneys who endorsed Judge Hundley heretofore and have now changed their minds, was called to the attention of the Senator and he replied that those men had 8 right to do that If they so desired.
 That many appointments in the Re- publican party to be made in this State will not have as easy sailing as the appointees would wish, Is most likely. On this subject there is likely to be something said in the confer ence of the Senators with the ltepLb- lican leader of this State.
 The postmastership at Ensley, the steel center of the Birmingham dis trict is a bone of contention among the Republicans themselves, according to rumors that prevail. Many people in Ensley are offering objection on the ground that J. E. I'll omas, who has been appointed, is moving from Pratt City to Ensley. the two places having been designated as ono postal district. It is rumroed that some charges have been suggested against Mr. Thomas, not as 10 hls personal character but otherwise. Thomas. is a lively little fellow, has the endorse ment of w. R. Fairley. the well knowl leader of the miners, and Is said to have the strong endorsement of the referee In this State.
 Another matter that 1t causing more or less talk is the postmaStersllip in Birmingham. The appointment is due by the goth of the coming month. J. Rivers Carter, the present incumbent, Is an applicant for the position again and strong petition Is being eigned up by the merchants Tn his behalf. Joseph H. Montgomery, who was at one time in the state Legislature as a representative from thIs county, now connected with the district attorneys office and in he collector of internal revenues office, Is a candidate for the position in fact it Is stated that he has the endorsement of the referse.
 Personally both men stand we'll among the Republicans and in other circles also. The. race for the office promises to be interesting.

FRESH TAX ENIGMA
COUNCIL WILL wREsTLE WITH
 FINANCE AGAIN.
Street Tax sad Dog Per Capita Seem Assured mma Other Amended Items in Lieemss Schedule
 on Tan.

Two questions that havve bean the subject of much interest among the aldermen win be settled at the meet ing of the city council tonight The first is the creation of a street tax of 1a per annum on all mail citizens be- tween the ages of 2i and 45 years. This matter as well as a tax on motor vehicles and a tax on dogs was dis cussed fully at the meeting of the ffn- ance committee Saturday night and will be reported favorably for adoption by the committee to the council to- night.
 1t Is a forgons conclusions that the office of City Tax Commissioner will be created. This matter was introduc- cd by Alderman Parrish some time ago but because certain clauses in the ordinance as presented, 1t was vetoed by the mayor and turned down by the city council. Since then the ordinance has been rebuilt and now has the aps' provai of the mayor. unofiieially. and will be reported favorably by the council.
 Rumor has it that the position will be offered Berto Johnson. one of the present aldermen at large, who will go out of oflce at the expiration of his present term. Mr. Johnson dsclin- ed to vote on the measure in council when 1t was first introduced. and when 1t was later shown by the mayor that the income to the offlce would be greater than the work warranted. he moved in council to have the ordin- ance thrown out. Whether Mfr. John son win accept the position, if it is offered him. has not been said. but the majority of the city council is said to be in favor of offering the po- sition to him.
 The council is now, seemingly. in fa- for of granting the Montgomery Pipe Co. the lease they desire on certain land near the foot of Catoma street. but this question will not be settled until the members of the finance com mittee visit the lot in question. Many items of the new license schedule are being considered by the finance com mitfee and 8 partial report is expected from them tonight.
 The permanent clerkship of the city is still in the air. c. C. Cowan doing the work temporarily.

roscopie examinations scientists have located the little germ pest and have mastered him. Tn doing so they have done a service of immense commer- cial value. Foreign countries had laid an embargo on American meats because of the presence of trichina. The vivisectionist showed the Ameri- can meat grower how to get rid of 1t. and millions Of dollars were saved to the people. But for the successful crusade against yellow fever, the Fan anna Canal could never be built with out the sacrifice of more lives than the world would be willing to give to that cause. Yet that crusade was based on lessons learned from vivisection. ex- periments- on animals establishing the fact that the germ was non-commun- icable until it had passed through the mosquito.
 It is argued that many of the anti vivisectionists are not consistent Their very hearts will bleed at the woes of the rat which is being exper- imented on In q sciantist's laboratory; yet they set traps of a sost cruel mech anism for rats, Or they will put out rat poison. which will produce as hor- rible q death as can be imagined. Women anti-vivisectionfsts will de- nounce the child that robs the bird of it's eggs. yet on their hats they will wear feathers and wings wnicn may have caused q brood of nestlings to die of pitiless starvation. If they happen to be men they will often de- nounce the vivisectionist today, and to- morrow proceed to take hunting trip that spells more suffering and sorrow than that inflicted by the vivi- sectionist, and in . cause not nearly so worthy.
 Of course this Is the extreme picture. ,-a.. l.. AAAA real interest of science, and not all antt-vivisectionists are sickly senti- mentalists, nneonsciously cruel and heartless themselves. Those anti" vivisectionists who seek to limit the nractlce to scientists, and 10 eliminate it from girls schools and such places where 1t Is practiced for naught but the qualification of a misguided cur. iosity, will have the cooperation or scientific men everywhere.
