The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-02-15
JOLTING BIRMINGHAM

Montgomery Times: Birmingham is al- ready affording us presumative evidence of the fact that prohibition does not uni- formly prohibit
 Houston Post: The Mayor of Birming- ham does not give to distinguished visi- tors the keys to the city but merely a master key to all the lockers of the city.
 Montgomery Advertiser: A Birming- ham negro has been arrested for selling bottle of water for whisky. What lers must have!
 Richmond Times-Dispatch: Now that Sir Oliver Lodge has blazed the way. possibly Birmingham will see what she. too, can do in the way of communicating with departed spirits.
 Sylacauga Advance: Birmingham seems to be having trouble with her auto drivers for running over people. If she would send some of them to Jail for few months it would stop it.
 
 Columbus Inqurer-Sun: Over in Bad Birmingham officials of the city and state are desirous of using the laws big stick upon persons who are said to be selling hollow walking canes that are filled with whisky.
 Houston Post: The deprayed Charles ton News and Courier is now trying to curry favor with Richmond, Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, Charlotte, New Orleans and Washington by telling them they are precisely like Houston"
 Washington Post: Atlanta and Bir- mingham,' says a contemporary, "are engaged in a contest as to which shall have the fewest prisoners in their city jails" The city adopting the open-door policy ought to win with ease.
 Augusta Herald: Birmingham is putting on airs because a cruiser has been named after that city. Augusta has been overlooked long time, but we shall soon have so many fighting ships that Augustus turn must come soon
 Houston Post: Now that King Mene- lik has set the precedent of presenting a pair of live Nubian lions to a friend, we suppose the Augusta Herald will follow suit and distribute pairs of trained biting snakes to friends in Atlanta, Birming- ham and Knoxville.
 Washington Herald: When the snow is on the landscape and the wind blows OCT f1,n Pc +o say, Have a T. and J. with me?' But such an invitation handed out In Bir- mingham is but a hollow mockery; it isn't worth a-whoa! Pegasus!
 Houston Post: In the matter of bank clearings, all the southern cities are be- hind Houston except St. Louis, New Or leans and Louisville. As a bank clear ing proposition Houston makes towns like Atlanta, Richmond, Charleston, Nashville, Memphis, Birmingham and Norfolk look like two-bits and a nickel.
 Chattanooga News: Birmingham's pro- hibition law has developed something new. It is a female bootlegger, who went over town selling liquor from bottle concealed somewhere about her neither limbs. The press of Tennessee will expect something rich next week from Jack Reeves on this phenomenon. We infer that he has been up against such a proposition several times in the course of his distinguished career.
 Mobile Register: A list of winter tour ists and business visitors comprising three-quarters of a column was one days record at the Mobile hotels on Friday last. Unlike the Houston Post, we have no "red-headed, dimpled widows" or 'Walker-county sausage to offer as at- fractions, but we have a bonhomme whose magnetism extends to far away Alaska. If the Post paragrapher stops off here on his way to Birmingham we promise to show him why this is also to fill up his canteen against any emer- gency that may arise in Birmingham.
