me, though, to keep myself heart free

with pickles and chow-chow. Don't
tell anyone about my being in love,
for if the old man hears OF it again,

EaSt Birmingham Comes
 In By Majority 0 HYee

The territory to be annexed to Bir mingham under yesterdays election is almost as large again as the present area of Birmingham. It will add pop ulation of several thousand people, in- cluding a large number of voters.
 Another feature Is the fact that it absolutely prevents any further spread ing out of Woodlawn and shuts in East Lake, all except the eastern boundary. It takes in Kingston, East Birmingham and that great strip of unincorporated territory beyond East Birmingham 10 the north ern limit of East Lake. Il takes in the Vanderbilt furnaces and brings in all of the industries of East Birmingham coming on down next to Avondale and taking in the Avondale cotton mills. Beginning where Village Creek enters the limits of North BiT- mingham, it extends up the creek to the l.. and N. railroad which it follows to the Birmingham Mineral. It follows the Mineral for some distance, and takes a bee line to the East Lake boundary. It's south ern boundary touches the lines of Woodlawn and East Lake all the distance. By this Woodlawn and East Lake are bottled up, appearing to be held in the mouth of pair of pincers.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-01

As result of the election held in East Birmingham yesterday that municipality will now become part of Greater Bir- mingham. The polls opened at o'clock q. m., and from the start. the votes were cast briskly and a great deal of enthus- showed that the annexation party had won by a majority of three votes, 163 votes being cast in all.
 At 12 o'clock noon, 80 votes had been cast with annexation far in the lead. How ever, the "antIs" got busy before the polls were closed and made the election very close. In spite of the fact that there was a good deal of sharp rivalry until the count was made public, after the de- cison was known everyone seemed to be satisfied no sounds of kicking being heard.
 Now that East Birmingham has fol- lowed Avondale's example, another large strip of territory has been added to Birmingham, and this will be further in- creased in the near future if the North Haven and East Lake elections turn out as did their predecessors.
 There was only one polling place in yesterdays election, it being at the Lunds- ford & Waid Brick company. Those in charge of the voting place were: J. M Anderson. returning officer; John E. El lis, E. o. Lipscomb and R. D. Waid, inspectors.

Increased Bank Surplus
Birmingham Trust and Savings Go. Adds $50,0oo to Surplus Account.

Under a resolution of it's board of di- rectors passed at the regular meeting in June the Birmingham Trust and Savings company is today sending out its regu- lar semi-annual dividend of per cent to it's stockholders. the dividends being paid out of earnings since January last
 Under the same resolution the bank is today passing s50.000 to its permanent surplus, raising it's surplus account to $3O0 000
 All the surplus of the Birmingham Trust and Savings company, now raised to the large total given above, has been earned. It Is all made up of surplus earnings over and above the regular semi annual dividends, not one of which has ever been passed during the more than 20 years of the banks history.
 It Is noteworthy that the largest amount ever passed to surplus account at one time by the Birmingham Trust and Saw ings company should follow a period of panic. After a most careful examina- tion of the banks condition the examin- ing committee of the board of directors unanimously recommended that after the paying of the semi-annual dividend s50,- 900 of the accumulated earnings be passed to permanent surplus.
 A banks permanent surplus is part of its capital, and stands as a security and guarantee to the depositor just as its capital does. So in adding $50.0O0 to It's surplus the bank has increased it's own permanent operating capital and strengthened by that much the security of its depositors.
 The ability of the bank to earn it's dividends and increase its capital out of earnings. does not seem to have been impaired by the depression from which the whole country has been suffering.

EAST LAKE WILL { NOT COME IN NOW
WILL AWAIT OPERATION OF THE KING BILL-MONEY APPROPRl- ATED FOR SPECIAL STREET lM- PRoVEMENTS.

Last night the City Council of East Lake met in regular session and trans- acted a good deal of business. Among other things, they decided not to hold an election for annexation in the near fu- ture, but would wait to come into Bir- mlngham until the time specified in the King bill. This action was the result of a great many people withdrawing their names from the petition.
 The S40,000 received by the city from a sale of improvement bonds has been placed to their credit and some of this was ap- propriated last night as follows: $361 for paving First avenue In East Lake, the contract being let to Ed M. Wheeler & Company; $5120 for the new sewerage system. This contract was given c. M. Burkhalter Ss Company.
 Furthermore, an ordinance was passed for improving the road and the adjoining property between Eighty fourth and Sev- enty-third streets. Eightieth street north of the lake will be opened up in the near future and also the streets running across

"The Two Orphans.v

It is seldom indeed that better staged production of 'The Two Orphans has been offered theatregoers than that which is put on at the Bijou theatre this week by the Baldwin Melville company The garden scene is notably brilliant but the entire seven acts of the play are staged with every detail correct. MT. Baldwin has established himself as a master of such work and his productions at the Bijou so far have been very successful. The qualities of "The Two Orphans" are such that the play seems destined to live forever. It has been a classic for years and is still wonderfully popular. The members of the Baldwin Melville company are doing excellent work this week and the performances are first class. The usual performance will be given to- night.

Norfolk, Va, June SO.-The Hamburg American liner Bosnia, Captain Schmidt, heavily laden with freight taken on at Boston, Newport News and Norfolk, for European ports, collided with the British steamer Glenfruin, Captain Robertson, while the latter was anchored today off Lamberts point, ready to sail with coal for the American fleet now in the Pacific. The Bosnia was passing out from Lam- berts point, and the accident is attributed to the wind and heavy current. ~~The Bosnia, apparently uninjured, proceeded and passed out of the Virginia capes two hours later.
