AUSTRIA TAKES
 TIME BY FORELOCK

Budapest, October S.-Austria already has entered upon negotiations with the various powers for the recognition of the new Kingdom of Bulgaria and the es- tablishment of peaceful relations between Turkey and Bulgaria
 Baron Won Aehrenthal, the foreign min ister, made this announcement in his speech at the opening sitting of the com- mon delegates today. The Austrian news papers and politicians have steadfastly denied that there was any understand ing between Austria and Bulgaria in the recent double movement, but Austria's adoption of a protecting role toward Bull garia indicates a strong community of interests.
 In his address the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister said that Austria adopt ed generally sympathetic attitude to- ward the new regime of Turkey.
 ''This attitude" he said, ''is based upon the definite hope that the new era in Turkey will produce the rejuvenation and invigoration of that state. Austria-Hu gary, whose frontiers match with Tur- key, and whose interests consequently are most affected, desires this from selfish reasons. A Turkey with a better gov ernment and more stable conditions, would be a more acceptable neighbor than the Turkey of yesterday

Election In Doubt.

"While many men are feeling confident that Taft will be elected remarked J. s. Hayden of Chicago. 'the outcome of this campaign is extremely doubtful. Taft appears to be in the lead, but Bryan's chances were never so good as now. Those who now laugh at Chairman Mack's rosy claims for Bryan may yet see that he has been a true prophet. It looks as if Taft would carry New Jersey, Ohio and Illinois, and as though his chances in New York were good. But it must be remembered that as New York goes. so goes the presidency Not that Taft needs as many votes from doubtful states as Bryan, but if Bryan carries New York it will mean democratic landslide. The democrats would have, in addition to New York; not only Indiana and Maryland, but probably Connecti- cut, New Jersey, West Virginia, Illinois and Nebraska.
 q have been through many campaigns, but do not recall one which kept us all guessing more than this. I am going to vote for Taft, but I have got it into my head that Bryan will have much larger electoral vote than he ever had before. It will certainly not surprise me if he is elected"

PrOblemSIn the Near East

The great powers of Europe have been peaceful 30 years, and yet in the twinkling of an eye a great treaty is torn to shreds, and possible storms are seen in the political sky. The great international pact of 1878 has disap- peared like the morning mist, and all are left to seek compensation" and to share the general anxiety,
 The chancellories of Europe are
 however, busy, and new conference may be called and war may be averted. Russia and France clearly desire a con ference of the powers, and England will probably join them. What Russia. France and England desire Germany and even Austria-H Hungary will per haps acquiesce in, and Italy will follow suit. In the meanwhile troops will be mobilized, and the situation will be one of great tension. The proposed con ference cannot be called in a jiffy. It is perhaps three months away. and in

ASSESSMENT ON
 BANK PROPERTY

Anniston, October S-(Special 1.-The Cal houn county revenue commissioners Wednesday afternoon ignored the ruling of the state tax commissioners to the eff feet that bank property in Calhoun coun- ty should be assessed at 60 per cent of it's real value in accordance with the equali- zation basis adopted by the state. Upon advice of County Attorney H. D. Me Carty, they assessed the banks st 100 per cent, and have retained MT. McCarty to defend them in this action. The board of county commissioners also decreased the voting places in Calhoun county two, to take effect next year. The voting boxes abolished were Wellington, in Beat 2 and Reads, in Beat 19. The voters in Beat will in future cast their ballots at Alex andria, and those who desire to exercise the right of suffrage in Beat 19 will have to journey to Duke on election days. The reason for abolishing these voting pre- eints was the fact that only very few votes were boiled at each. even when a heated contest was on and a full vote cast. The expense of maintaining them was considered too great for the number of people benefited thereby. The abolish ment of the boxes will save the county several dollars at each election.

Health of the City

The doctors and the undertakers of this city are not prosperous. The city has become healthful and few cases of illness per 1000 occur, and still fewer funerals. Typhoid germs are few and far between this season, and other dis ease germs are not numerous or alert
 eDr. Sholl, chairman of the county board of health, is inclined to attribute the superior health of the city to fil. tration in it's water supply. It would. however, be difficult to explain why filtration is efficient this year when it was not notably so last year.
 All experts agree, however, in saying that storage and sand-bed filtration oo weed out germs, especially the dreaded typhoid bacilli. Experiments made in London show that undisturbed storage of water will in five weeks time rob water of typhoid bacilli. Few were found at the end of three weeks. and storage for five weeks puts an end to the deadly germs. It seems strange that typhoid germs prosper and in- crease in moving water while they die out in stagnant water, but that is the case, according to the tests conducted by the water board of London.
 The full safeguard against typhoid consists, however, in a combination of storage and filtration The Ionuon authorities prefer well-stored, rapidly filtered water. Duplicate reservoirs are needed where the chief dependence is upon storage or where safety is sought in the two-fold treatment.
 This city is healthy, but it should continue to improve the sanitary situa- tion, seeking information wherever it is to be had. The doctors and the un- dertakers may lose business, but it is better that they should lose busness than that preventable illness should come to even the humblest citizen.

TURKEY MAY BACK
 DOWN ON DEMANDS

Constantinople, October s.-S o n thoughts have raised doubts in Constanti- nople as to the advisability of the pro- posed conference of the powers to dis euss the occurrences of the present event. fuI week, and Great Britains hint to the Ottoman government that such meeting might possibly only add to the complica tions and result in a. farther detriment to Turkey. may induce the porte to aban- don it's demand therefor.
 The porte will protest strongly to the powers regarding the Cretan declaration for union with Greece, but it is said to take the view that inasmuch as this island is under the protection of the pow it is their duty to see that the rights of Turkey are upheld
 It is stated on good authority that Kiamil Pasha, the grand vizier, yielding to the demand of the military party, to- day submitted to the Sultan the text of an trade ordering the mobilization of the first army corps at Constantinople, the second at Adrianople and the third at Salonid and Monastir. The trade. it is said, will be published at once. The grand vizier has assured the ambassadors that the mobilization is purely a defen- sive measure.
 It is rumored that a Turkish fleet has been ordered to mobilize and proceed to Varna, a Bulgarian port on the Black sea.

Opening of the State Fair

The dust has been restored to the soil, and fine October weather will no doubt follow. The gates of the State Fair swing open under happy condi- tions. The good people of Alabama need ayacation, and the railroads offer to bring them to the fair at low rates.
 The Fair itself will prove attractive whether one be in search of industrial or agricultural exhibits-whether one desires to see live stock or prefers the exhibits that women delight in whether the visitor needs amusement or instruction-whether he prefers a horse race or high-grade poultry-all will be on exhibition today and on every successive day until the Fair is ended.
 Manager Barnes has spared no effort to make the Fair of the present year well-ordered event. He has sought to gather examples of the forest, farm and factories, and the people of the state will no doubt come here in great numbers to see what he has accom- plished. It is Alabama's exposition, and the presence of Alabama people in large numbers will make if oo,,,r1o+a and useful.

GeOrgia'S Election Result

The majority of Joseph M. Brown for governor will probably be fully SO,- 900. Yancey Carter, the nominee of the independence party and of the dis contented generally, boiled but a small vote. The total vote was light, but the democratic proportions were well main tained.
 The amendment to the state consti- tuition bringing Georgia in line with other southern states in the matter of suffrage qualifications was also adopt- ed. A few counties voted against the amendment, but a clear majority SUD- ported the amendment, and on .Janu--y l next it will become law in our sister state. It has no reference to the No vember election, and no amendment is needed to insure at that time the usual democratic majority.
 Like the Alabama qualifications, the new Georgia amendment promotes thrift, for under it the ownership of moderate amount of property confers the privilege of suffrage. Any one who owns and is taxed upon valuation of $500 becomes entitled to voting privi- leges, and this is an excellent feature of suffrage to all, or nearly all, of the southern states.

that waiting spell Crete will consider herself a part of Greece, Bulgaria will stand free and independent, and Bosnia and Herzegovina will continue to be ruled by the Emperor Francis Joseph.
 The conference will attempt to re- wise the Berlin treaty but.it will hard ly attempt to hand over Bosnia and Herzegovina to Turkey or even to re- store the statu quo nor will it be apt to take independence away from the Bulgars. The difficulty of saving tue pride and prestige of the new reform government of Turkey will then indeed be difficult.
 The question of the use of the Oar danelles will also come before the con- ference, if one be held. The treaty of Berlin prohibits all use by Russia of the Dardanelles so far as her vessels of war are concerned. This question will doubtless come up again, and if Austria is to annex two provinces Rus sia will be apt to claim the right to use the Dardanelles. Russia is not strong today, but if she be reinforced by France and England she will have weight in the conference.
 The unrest is general, extending to Egypt, Crete, Montenegro, Servia, Noyi Bazar. as well as to Bulgaria, Eastern Rumelia Bosnia and Herzegovina. The old-time Eastern question has been re- opened, and fortunate indeed will be the nations of Europe if a conference instead of an appeal to arms can sat isfy all ambitions and meet all de- mands for compensation"

George PeabOdY'S Legacy

In 1867 George Peabody, banker of London and Boston, died, leaving for educational purposes a fund exceeding 5000, ,000. The board of trustees has annually distributed the income of the fund in the south, and it also gave $S00,000 of the principal to the Pea body Normal college at Nashville. It has on hand $2,500,000, and the trust ees propose to distribute this sum In accordance with the will of the testator next winer, thus bringing to an end their long task. They propose to give the Peabody college $1,OOO OO0 addi- tional, if Tennessee and Nashville and Davidson county donate to the college s750,000 The legislature of Tennessee will probably add next winter a sum large enough to meet the requirements of the trustees. The remaining s1.5OO,- 900 will be distributed among southern institutions. Judge Henderson M. Somerville of this state is a member of the board of trustees, and so is Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia.
 The fund will doubtless he annro. priated with a view to aiding those who are in need of education. The fund has been well managed, and the money of the dead banker has i'm proved educational facilities in the south. It has been placed where it would do the most good, and no doubt the distribution of the capital sum will be carefully considered.

Gentry of New York, representative of the American Locomotive company.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Odd Fellows, Grand Lodge.

If Birmingham goes about it right we can certainly get the convention of the sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows in l9l0' said s. J. Erkert, who recently went as a representative of the grand eneamp- ment of Alabama to the grand lodge con vention in Denver. While away Mr. Erk- ert also attended the Odd Fellows state convention at Rochester, N. Y. We se- cured number of pledges from delegates at Denver to vote for Birmingham next year, and I hope the people of Birming- ham will do their part
 'The grand lodge itself consists of only about 25o. but the subsidiary organiza- tions always bring the attendance beyond 5000 It will cost some money. because some expensive prizes are always given to the uniformel eantons and other com peting organizations. But the advertise ment and the benefit derived from having 5000 visitors for over week is well worth the cost to any city.
 "rhe grand lodge sessions always be- gin on Monday, but the delegates always arrive the previous Friday, and Saturday is usually devoted to some sort of ex- cursion or side trip given by the enter taining city to the delegates. On Sunday special services are always held at all the churches, so that on Monday morn ing the delegates are ready to get to work in earnest. The Denver convention was one of the most successful we have ever had. There were. of course, repre- sentatlves from every part of the United States and Canada, and for the first time we seated delegates from Australasia. Delegates have been heretofore confined to North America.
 eve had a great time and now that the Odd Fellows have become numerically the largest secret order in the United States It's conventions are really great df- fairs and such as any city should be proud to entertain"

Chattanooga's Hospitality.

Chattanooga entertained the American Institute of Mining Engineers with genu- inc hospitality and the meeting and the sight seeing schedule were full of inter- est" said Alex Peters of the Birming- ham Coal and Iron company. There are many attractions in the vicinity of Chat tanooga and the arrangements committee made up charming programmes. One of the best papers read at the meeting was that of T. H. Aldrich, Jr., on gold mining in Alabama.
 'rThe American Institute will hold its spring meeting in New York as usual. and it will probably meet in Seattle in connection with the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition It should not be a difficult matter to bring the institute to Birming- ham in 1910. An invitation will be ex- tended doubtless

REFUSED A DIVORCE.
Virginia Harmed Southern Fails To
 Appear In Court.

Reno, New, October S.-Judge Pike to- day refused to grant Virginia Harmed Sothern a divorce from her actor hus- band, Edward H. Sothern, saying:
 '"This, think, is a unioue proceeding for party to secure divorce without ap- bearing in court. think I will deny the decree. If the interested parties do not deem it of enough importance to grace the court with their presence don't see why their family disturbances should be accounted here'
 Mrs. Sothern is seeking divorce from her husband on allegations of desertion and failure to provide. No evidence was offered on the part of Sothern. The court took the matter under advisement until it could be ascertained whether Mrs. Sothern would appear in court.

West Virginia for Taft.
the Cincinnati Enouirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Parkersburg, w. Va.-Although it doubtless will be by a plurality far below that given to Roosevelt in 1904, or to Mckinley in 1900, Judge Taft ought to carry West virginia next month.
 An investigation, extending over two days, in which every phase of the tur- bulent political situation has been given careful and impartial consideration, leads me to that conclusion
 The republican party is not so strong in this state as it was four or eight years ago, but it's losses have not been sufficient up to this time to warrant the statement that it will swing into the dem ocratic column on November 3. This as- sertion pertains particularly to the na- tional ticket. What fate may befall the state ticket is another matter.
 To admit that Bryan will carry West Virginia is equivalent virtually to an acknowledgement that the landslide pre- dicted by Chairman Norman E. Mack of the democratic national committee.
