 This was adopted enthusiastically as the sentiment of the Board of Trade, and each member once more urged the people of the state to attend the fair at the meeting held yesterday.
 In fact, enthusiasm on the subject of the big fair which opens Friday was so great that the board found little else to do.
 This resolution was adopted, Re solved, That we express our recogni- tion of the good service given by the American Express company since it's advent into Birmingham. and are glad to welcome them to Birmingham"
 J. A. VanHoose was appointed dele gate to the meeting of the Gulf Coast Inland Waterway association to be held in Columbus, Ga., on November g. MT. VanHoose has been asked to address the convention.
 By resolution the good roads com mittee was advised to look into the Overton good roads amendment and re- port to a special meeting two weeks 
 hence. The committee appointed on securing commodity rates on interstate lines was granted further time.
 President R. w. Ewing submitted his monthly report, which was in part as follows:
 There has been since the last meet ing a substantial increase in the busi- ness of the merchants of Birmingham. All lines, wh olesale and retail, have the fall trade. Business conditions have practically resumed normal for this time of the year.
 "The coming of the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic railroad into Bir- mingham recently, and the visit of the business and professional people along this line to our city has already re- suited in good, and this district is now firmly fixed as a part of Birmingham s trading territory.
 Now that the cold weather Is com ing on, it is probably safe to congrat- ulate the people of Birmingham upon having passed through a summer when the population of our city was larger than ever before and when more sick ness might have been expected, and be able to say at it's close that it has been one of the healthiest years in the history of Birmingham. This is large ly due to the tireless efforts of our ef- ficient mayor and his able assistants in the rigid sanitary regulations under taken, and not little of it Is due to the efforts put forth by the various "City Beautiful" organizations. This City Beautiful" movement has not only resulted already in a great inn provement in the appearance of our streets and avenues in the residence portions of the city, but has also re- suited in great good from sanitary and health standpoint"

Struck by Electric Car.

Cecil, the 3-year-old child of MT. and Mrs. w. W. Hollwell, was struck by a Jonesboro electric car this afternoon about 1 o'clock and it's escape from death was almost miraculous. The child was playing with some other children near the corner of Eighth avenue and Nineteenth street, and evidently did not see the approaching car and ran on the track just in front of 1t. Before the motorman could stop the little one was struck and knocked off to the side of the track, fortunately not causing any more. dangerous wound than a slight confusion on the forehead The motorman stated that the child ran out from behind GOV cred wagon and was not seen by him until the car was too close to be stopped. The wound Is not serious, but the childs escape is considered a marvellous one.

BOARD OF TRADE
 AT WORK FOR FAIR
MERCHANTS ARE URGED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT IN EVERY LETTER THEY WRITE TO GUS TONERS OVER THE STATE

The approach of the Alabama State Fair which will be held in Birmingham from the 9th to the 17th of October, inclusive, and which promises to be the best we have. ever had, gives indication that n will be the most widely at
 tended. 1 would suggest that the
 plan already adopted by some
 merchants of stamping on their
 stationery: Visit us during the
 State Fair, October g to IT," be
 used by all of the merchants, eith-
 CT in the way of a stamp, or writing it as postscript on all
 of their letters. Where 1t appears
 as postscript, the following
 wording may be used with good
 effect: I've hope you will come to the Alabama State Fair, to be held in Birmingham, October to IT, in elusive. It will be the best yet We extend you cordial invitation to make our store your headquar- ters while in the city" President R. W. Ewing of the Board of Trade.

GOOD TIMES.

When the belt which drives the gov
ernor of an engine slips, breaks or runs
off, the engine increases speed and mo-
mentum, and, unless checked or stopped,
there is sure to be a SMASH. That is
exactly what happened in 1906 to our big
NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL AND COM
MERCIAL ENGINE; the Governor belt
which was made of COMMON SENSE
material, slipped, ran off, and the big
Engine gathered such speed and momen-
tum that if the ENGINEER at Washing
ton had not put his hand on the throttle
and stopped the tremendous speed, there
would have been terrible Smash. As
il was, he applied the brakes so hard and
so suddenly that the inertia upset every
thing before coming TO n standstill. II
was good thing after all, for II gave
a chance to examine matters at rest,
which could not be closely looked over
while in motion. The result was that a lot
of poor material, bad connections, loose
joints and worn out bearings were dis
covered some things were out of plumb,
and others out of alignment. Now that
these things have been corrected weak
parts repaired, and everything in better
shape, the big Engine is again in motion
and will be running up to normal speed,
with everything in excellent condition
for good long run, while new Engineer
has been engaged to handle the throttle.
The old Engineer was very strenuous
and was just the right man, IN the right
place, at the right time, and the new En-
gipeer is big strong fellow, who has his
strength better distributed, a good share
of it in his head, and he can SMILE
WITHOUT SHOWING HIS TEETH. Mer-
chant, business man, lay in good sup
ply of goods The throb of the big Engine
will soon be heard in town, and you will
be making up for lost time the energy
YOU have been storing up during dull
times will be needed to keep up with the
Rush.

Farming Mastered While You Wait.

Farming Mastered While You Wait
The country life commission evi
dently thinks 1t has a great find In
a letter recently received by the presi.
dent from a correspondent who has
"been a farm hand long enough" to
learn oil about the "ifs" and lands"
the commission is to investigate. He
stayed on the job, 1t seems, just long
enough to learn that the farmer and
all hands work fourteen to sixteen
hours day, that live stock has wants
on Sundays as well as week days
which the farmer is inclined to re-
spect, that hay hauled to the barn late
Saturday night is unloaded on Sunday
instead Of waiting for Monday to
dawn, and so on.
If this star witness for the prosecu-
tion had remained farm hand awhile
longer he might have gained consider
able knowledge that does not appear
In the letter which the commission has
sent broadcast for publication. For
instance, he would have learned that
leld workers do not toll fourteen to
sixteen hours a day the year round
nor even every week day Of the crop
season; that there is business reason
for the long hours when kept and also
for doing certain odds and ends on
Sunday, a reason why hay should be
unloaded from the wagon to the hay
NOW on Sunday instead Of delaying
the removal twenty.four hours; that
business methods" do govern farm
work, and these must be formulated
In the country, not In the town. Much
more he would have learned, and this
chiefy-that Dame Nature, not man,
bosses things on the farm. With this
last lessee we'll dragged" in, he
would have known better than to
write such a letter, especially If ex-
pecting ever to face farming folk
again.

On the 9th of October, Indianapo-
lis, paid splendid tribute to the men,
ory of Indiana's distinguished son,
soldier and statesman, General Benja-
min Harrison, late president of the
United States, by the unveiling of a
striking bronze likeness of their former
fellow townsman. Vice President Chas.
W. Fairbanks, who is president of the
General Harrison Memorial Association
presented the monument to the people.
A parade participated in by the 10th
United States Infantry from Fort Ben
jamin Harrison, one regiment of the In
diana National Guard and 700 Civil War
veterans, including many members of
the 7th Regiment, of which former Presi-
dent Harrison was colonel, preceded the
unveiling exercises.
The fact that President Harrison's first
wife, Miss Carrie L. Scott, was wooed
and won in Honesdale, and that his
second wife was daughter of the late
Russell F. Lord, almost lifelong resi-
dent here, gives to the proceedings con-
nected with the unveiling special interest
to most CITIZEN readers.
While the exercises were in progress
and the great silent throng looked on,
little Miss Elizabeth Harrison, our late
townsman's grandchild, left the side OF
her mother in the reviewing stand oppo-
site the monument, and made her way
past the seats Of hundreds of her fathers
army comrades and up the steps until
she stood before the draped figure of the
man whose last photograph was taken
with her in his arms. She reached out
and tugged at cord that hung loose
from the flags that formed the draping.
The flags, released, opened out and re-
vealed the bronze figure. The little girl
then lifted an American flag from the
base of the monument, uncovering an
immense laurel wreath, sent by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Carrying this, she re-
turned as she had come, to present it to
her mother.
The family party included Mrs. Har-
rison and daughter, and Colonel Russell
B. Harrison the three members Of
General Harrison's cabinet, General
John w. Noble, of St. Louis, John w.
Foster, of Washington, and Mrs. Foster
and w. II. H. Miller, of indianapolis,
Mrs. J. f. Kuhn, of Fortress Monroe,
Va, and Harrison Scott Morris, of Min
neapolis, nephew of General Harrison.
Others present included the members of
the monument commission, Governor
j. Frank Hanly and wife and Mayor
Charles A. Bookwalter and wife. Jas.
Whitcomb Riley read poem that he
had written for the event, "The tribute
of his home" General John w. Noble
paid a tribute to his former chief in an
eulogistic speech and was followed by
John L. Griffiths, United States consul
to Liverpool, in the closing address of
the afternoon.

Profit Sharing Workmen.

In order to avoid the closing of the
shop the employees Of a great ship
building firm in England recently ac-
cepted an offer Of partnership with
the proprietors. The company boldly
declared that strike troubles had be-
come uncomfortable and the shops must
close unless strikes could be elimi-
mated.
Shares Of a special stock will be sold
to employees to be paid for out Of their
earnings. Interest will be allowed on
the shares whether the business pays
or not. After this special interest has
been paid and interest Of per cent
on the capital has been deducted from
the earnings any remaining profit will
be divided between all the sharehold-
ers. Wages and hours are regulated
by the agreement, and workmen may
quit at will and sell their shares. 1t is
an interesting experiment.

The Army "Smart Set"

The army mans shooting affair re-
Gently up in court gives fresh am
munition to those who are disposed
to cast discredit upon garrison life as
being detrimental to morals. Unfor-
tunately this is not the first instance
Of the kind. A couple Of years ago an
army divorce case led to unpleasant
revelations. All there is Of it, the
army has its smart SET" as should be
supposed.
Army officers and "army women
as the wives, sisters and daughters of
officers are sometimes called-are only
mortal. They come from the general
ranks Of society. AS rule, they have
more leisure, more need to kill time
and more temptation to do it through
excitement than the average person
Of the same social stage. There is
reason to believe that, while the dissi-
pations of some few may be highly
disgraceful, the department of the ma
jority is highly creditable under the
circumstances.

THERE will be an elaborate procedure
in the case of the men chosen on the
electoral ticket on the Sd instant, this
congressional district being represented
by William J. McCabe. The Prothono-
taries of each county will send the re-
turns to the Secretary of the Common
wealth, who in turn delivers them to the
Governor. 1t is the duty of the latter
official to enumerate the vote of the
State, declare the result, notify the cleo
tors of their election on or before the
last Wednesday in November, and COM
municate the result to the Secretary OF
State of the United States. The electors
meet in Harrisburg on the second Mon
day in January following their election,
and cast their votes for President and
Vice President of the United States. Ger
tifcates of this vote are made in tripli-
cate, one sent by messenger, selected by
the electors themselves, to the President
of the United States at Washington, a
a second is sent through the mails to the
same Official, and the third is delivered
to the Judge of the district in which
they assemble. These returns are opened
in the presence of Congress on the sec
ond Wednesday in February and the re-
suit declared by that body in a joint ses-
sion held for that express purpose.
