OUTSIDER WILL NOT
GET WORST OF IT
SHELBY TELLS WHY SUBURBAN
SHOULD NOT MAKE MISTAKE
OF VOTING AGAINST GREATER
BIRMINGHAM.

1.-The most ignorant and Indifferent cit
izen can hardly fail to grasp the signifi-
canoe of a Greater Birmingham" said j.
e. Shelby last night. THE man who
stands as an obstacle to the success and
votes against a greater city will not like
ly be willing to acknowledge his lack of
consideration for his neghbor and his
neighbours family, nor his lack of the
enterprise and progressiveness necessary
to build up large, prosperous and ia
nous city such as Birmingham will sure
ly become if she is backed up by her
citizenship.
Now, Mr.. Outsider, we need you and
you need us. 1t isn't a one-sided affair
with you on the losing side. The max
ing of Greater Birmingham will help you
and by helping you will help u.s. On
the other hand, just as sure as anything
can be sure, you will awaken to your
mistake when it is too late if you vote
against this proposition.
"A vote for Greater Birmingham
means a desire for every advantage to
be had from a more perfect school sys-
tenn, better police and fire protection and
sanitation from the use of our great sew
erage system not to be had in any other
way.
when the Greater Birmingham bill be-
comes effective we will, in my opinion,
be experiencing the greatest prosperity
this community has ever known. This
little financial depression cannot last but
a short time and the upshot of the whole
affair will be general betterment The
country is exceedingly rich, and nothing
like a panic can be forced on it. Bust
ness will go right along, good healthy,
prosperous business, but more nationally
proportional capital. The man who in
creased his business four-fold without a
cent of additional capital will see the
folly of attempting that sort of thing,
and future growth will be more legti-
mate and therefore safer. The country
is all right never better. The financial
system has undergone shock, but not
deadly one. The real money, the real
prosperity, the real backbone is still here.
THE earth Is what holds us up, in more
senses than one, and the earth has been
lavish In it's yield Of wealth. The fol-
lowing statement shows how much more
the crops are worth for 1907 than those
of the year 1906:

HUNTERS MUST HAVE
ANOTHER LICENSE
Wardens Are Warned Not To Allow
Men To Hunt Without
Credentials.

State Game and Fish Warden John. II.
Wallace has written letters to the coun-
ty wardens in reference to the continued
enforcement of the game laws of the
state.
Mr.. Wallace states that many people
will endeavor to hunt during January
without licenses for 1908, and directs the
attention of the wardens to this discrep-
ancy. He also calls their attention to
the fact that it is unlawful to carry dead
game on common carriers unless the
man in possession of the game has a
license regularly issued to him.
In reviewing the work under the new
laws Mr.. Wallace writes that to state
that the department has been successful
would be expressing 1t mildly. He eau
lions the wardens to continue their efforts.
and prophesies far-reaching good toward
the preservation of the valuable assets
of the fields and streams of the state.

MAJORITY FAVOR
AN EARLY PRIMARY
City Committee viii Take Coqnizance
of Recent Discharge of Chief
Wier.

The majority of the members Of the
city democratic executive committee de-.
sire an early primary. 1t is understood
that the vote stands Is to 3.
Those members of the committee de-
string an early primary declare that they
do not want to conflict with the county
primary, which will be held in the sum-
mer for the nomination of Judges of the
inferior court, members of the Board of
Revenue, delegates to the Alabama ma
tional convention. etc.
Chairman Mullin stated yesterday that
he found the people DESTROYS of express
ing themselves on certain situations that
have recently developed. There is no
doubt but that the committee, at it's
first session this year, will take official
cognizance of the action of the police
commission in discharging Chief Wier.

Mr.. Leo Loeb of the firm of Loveman,
Joseph & Loeb, stated yesterday that
his firm, as yet, knew nothing of the re-

while stating that he knew nothing of
such an intention at the present time,
did not state unqualifiedly that such a
branch store would not be established
in the future.
Mr. Loeb stated that the buyers of
spring goods for his firm are just leaving

SMALLER TRAFFIC
GIVEN AS REASON
Southern Explains Discontinuance of
Trains Which Goes Into Effect
This Morning.

Officials of the Southern railway have
issued the following in explanation Of
the discontinuance of certain trains
which goes into effect this morning:
Washington, D. c., Dec. 81. 1907
On account of the decrease in the
general traffic on the Southern railway
and the consequent diminished earn
ings, together with increased expenses
on the Southern railway, this COM
pany finds it necessary to make some
curtailment in it's train service. These
changes will become effective on jan
uary 8, 1908, and those that occur on
the line between Admission, Ala, and
Columbus, Miss, are, that train No. FL
leaving Admission 1855 a. M, arriving
Birmingham 10:40 M, and train No.
% leaving Birmingham 500 a. M, ar
irving Admission 1886 a. M, will be dis
continued. Trains Nos. 80 and 80
which cover that part of the line about
the same time that these trains do,
after that time will make the local
stops and in this way take care of the
business that is done on Nos. FL and
%. Effective at the same time train
No. 81 leaving Birmingham 1910 a. M.
arriving Columbus, Miss, 600 a. m.
and train No. SO leaving Columbus 1906
a. M, arriving Birmingham $40 a. m
will be discontinued.
Trains Nos. Is and 16, however, will
be extended to run through between
Birmingham and Columbus, Miss,
train No. 10 leaving Birmingham $3.50
d. M, arriving Columbus 300 p M,
train No. 16 leaving Columbus 500 a.
M, arriving Birming CHAM 1915 a. m. By
this arrangement all passengers from
that part of the line will be properly
taken care of.
While the Southern railway along
with all the other railroads in the
United States has been forced by the
diminished earnings and increased ex-
penses to observe the most rigid econ
.omy, including the curtailment of pas
senger train service, the management
of this company Is endeavoring to
make such changes in it's service the
very fewest consistent with the nee
essity for the reduction in its ex-
penses.

TRANSFER CHARGES
MUST BE- ADJUSTED
KICKS ARE MADE ON so CENTS
CHARGE FOR TRANSFERRING
PASSENGERS FROM NEW TO OLD
STATION IN BIRMINGHAM.

The general passenger agents of the
several roads entering Birmingham will
hold a meeting at the Hotel Hillman
Tuesday, beginning at II O'clock to dis
cuss the matter of transfer charges from
the Terminal to the Louisville and Nash
Vile station.
1t is understood that the meeting was
called by General Passenger Agent Tayloe
of the Southern with headquarters in
Washington. Each road entering Bir-
mingham will be represented either by its
general or assistant general passenger
agent. 1t is expected, too, that represent
tatives of the Louisville and Nashville
will be in attendance. as the matter
affects that road as well as the lines en-
tering the Terminal depot.
This matter of transfer charges from
one to the other station in Birmingham
has occupied the attention of the railroad
officials and the railroad commission for
some little time. AS is known, the pres
ent transfer charge from one station to
the other is 90 cents for the passenger
and his baggage If ticket is pur-
chased in Chattanooga to Montgomery
the fee of 80 cents is attached when the
ticket is paid for. The complaint it is
understood, is that the so cents is charged
whether the passenger has any baggage
or not. On the other hand it is stated
that the same fee is charged If the man
has dozen trunks.
1t is understood that there is a petit
tion from certain transfer companies to
be allowed to do the work for 10 cents
per man and 10 cents for each trunk.
1t is not improbable, too. that other
important matters will be discussed at
the meeting
