ONE Of our subscribers took us tc
the task this week for failing, as
he remarked, to publish all that
happened. 1t was fortunate for
this particular individual that dis
creation occasionally demands the
omission Of unpleasant items.
Should we publish all that is told
to us we would be with the angels
in about twenty minutes after our
papers were mailed. We try to
print all items that are news, or
that will encourage, help or cheer
any of our citizens along life's rug
ged road. We all doubtless would
enjoy reading "all the news" when
it's about the other fellow, but our
policy is to turn over to the gossips
the spreading of scandels that only
leave sorrows in their trail.

FACES MANY CHARGES.
Negro, Will Cunningham, Has Had An
 EventfuI Career Recently.

The negro, Will Cunningham, who has made such a dime novel hero record and who is confined in the coun- ty jail for doing so, has enough charges against him to keep him im- prisoned for the rest of his life, if he is convicted on all of them. Several charges are docketed against him here, while advices were received from Car tersville, Ga., yesterday stating that he was wanted there on a number of mis- demeanor charges.
 The authorities of Talladega county are also itching to get their hands on him, as they feel deeply the humilia- disarmed one of their deputy sheriffs after he had been placed under arrest. Cunningham kept Deputy West at his pistols point for Il hours, during which time West was put through an experience which it is said would notice for an amusement park.
 He is also wanted on a murder charge in Georgia, but the negro de- nies that he is the man wanted for this crime, stating that his brother is the one wanted.
 That Cunningham has a full supply of nerve is conceded by all the of ficers. An complication of it was given the night of his arrest when he gave battle to two men at close range, not even flinching when one of them pulled down on him with a shotgun.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of Camp Hardee, U. c. v.. held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Commer- cial club, was largely attended and was marked with much enthusiasm.

SEEK ACCOUNTING OF
 NORTH BIRMINGHAM
THE CONTENTION IS MADE IN COURT THAT THE TOWN IS MAX ING MORE DEBTS THAN IT IS ABLE TO PAY.

A plea was filed in the circuit court yes terday by w. T. Walters asking for an accounting from the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of North Birmingham. This plea followed decree handed down by Judge A. o. Lane in the circuit court yesterday morning denying the plea for an injunction, which Walters and others had filed against the bond issue election which North Birmingham is to hold Mon day
 The bond issue in question is one for &, ,00O,0 GOO, the proceeds of which the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of North Br- mingham propose to use in construction Of a waterworks system. According to the plans this waterworks plant would be sufficient to supply all of Greater Bir- ningham and would, of course, be turned over to Greater Birmingham October l, 1909, when North Birmingham will become a part of Greater Birmingham. Greater Birmingham would also assume the s5,- 0o0000 bond issue.
 The election was called by the authori- ties at North Birmingham some time ago, being followed in few days by the filing of plea for an injunction on the part of Walters and others. tenn porary injunction was granted and the hearing given yesterday after which Judge Lane handed down his decree deny ing the appeal
 In the plea for an accounting it is all legged that the accounts of the town of North Birmingham are in bad shape, and request is made for an expert account ant to examine and report back. It is all legged that the town is not only badly in debt but Is also contracting more debts every year, with no prospects of paying out, and that it is about to take on an other heavy bonded indebtedness.
 This plea will come up for a hearing in few days. North Birmingham is split into two factions, one being those who were In favor of annexation to Br- mingham, while the other, which includes most of the municipal officials, is com posed of those who opposed Greater Bir- mingham The faction in favor of annex alton is charging that the other side wants North Birmingh gham to make enough debts to swamp Greater Birmingham when she has to assume them.

 To Guarantee Expenses.

The tuberculosis exhibit, which physf- clans propose to bring to Birmingham. is now en route from Nashville to Mont- gomery. It's great importance to A com munity is being urged by the medical society, in that so many lives depend upon the eradication of the dread dis ease. The exhibit is not an advertise ment, but an intelligent explanation of the causes, means of prevention, and the treatment of the disease.

 The board of directors of the Commer- cial club held short meeting yesterday and passed these resolutions:
 Whereas, The tuberculosis exhibition of the National Association for the Pre- vention and Treatment of Tuberculosis will be sent to Alabama during the months of April and May, and whereas it is of very great importance to this community that this exhibition be brought to Birmingham in order that the public may be educated in regard to the causes. prevention and treatment of a disease which is the greatest single cause of death in Alabama; and
 Whereas, To secure this exhibition and to disseminate knowledge of tuberculosis and accomplish the purposes for which it is sent out it is necessary that the actual expense incurred in holding the ex- hbition be defrayed by the community where it is held therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the Birmingham Com mercial club desires to express it's hearty support and indorsement of this move ment and join with the Jefferson County Medical society in it's efforts to secure this exhibition and would urge all other societies and clubs and city and county officials to cooperate in the efforts which are being made to create sentiment for the control of this disease in our com munity That the Mayor and City Coun- cil and the Board of Revenue be request ed to make joint appropriation not ex ceeding $500 to defray the expenses of holding the exhibition.
 That the press of Birmingham an1 municipalities in the county be requested to publish these resolutions, and to give aid and encouragement by frequent mo- tices of the exhibition and it's work, there by securing the attendance of all classes of our people"

He an- nounced that a conference was held be- tween himself and President J. T.

It contained carloads of pipe, pig iron and various kinds of products, and was billed for points including St. Paul, Chicago, Pitts burg and numbers of other places.
