BEAUTIFUL NEW DRESS. Interior of Birmingham Trust and Say. lngs Co.'s Building Redecorated.

The interior of the Birmingham Trust and Savings company banking house on Twentieth street has just been redecorat- ed throughout. The lofty room, full two stories to the ceiling, lends itself admir- ably to the decorators art, and the w D. Colby Decorating Co.,, which did the work. took full advantage of it's oppor- tunity to give the Birmingham public something really artistic.
 The marble front of the building which is the only example of classic architec- ture in Birmingham, has recently been cleaned and polished into a thing of beauty, and the pleasing impression made on the caller as he approaches the bank, is heightened as he enters the door. The side walls of the main room were done in a shade of light moss green and the handsome romanesque arches surmount- ed with wide frieze of ornamental de- sign all in rich, heavy cast relief, are finished in antique ivory shades in pleas ing contrast with the green walls and art glass window and sky lights.
 The general effect is most pleasing, combining grace and dignity. Indeed. the patron of the bank is fortunate in hay ing at each visit the opportunity of re- jolcng the eye with so lovely a vision.
 The Birmingham Trust and Savings company thus not only contributes to the business welfare of the community by It's soundness and conservatism as bank, but to that finer pleasure which we all feel In contemplating the beautiful In ar chtecture and the harmony of colors.

PASSENGER TRAIN
 THROWN OFF TRACK
MAIL AND ONE PASSENGER CAR ARE TURNED COMPLETELY OVER, BUT IT IS REPORTED THAT NO ONE IS INJURED.

Selma, August 2O.-(Special.)- 1.-The Louls- vile and Nashville passenger train which left Selma at o'clock for Myrtlewood was derailed four miles this side of Lin- den. three cars going off the track, the mail car and second-class car turning completely over. At this time the report Is that no one was hurt, but the fact that the wrecker picked up a passenger coach at the union passenger station gives rise to the fear that there were injuries. However, the roads surgeon did not ac- company the wreeker.

ton of habeas corpus procedures in this time of strife, and he said:
 ''The great writ of habeas corpus is the security against arbitrary arrests. but it never was intended to enable men to combine, and by violence overthrow the law and then use this great writ to se cure them in their disorder. Everyone recognizes the necessity for and the value of the writ of habeas corpus, but if mob or combination can be formed and the country terrorlzed and the partici- pants in this overthrow of government can continually and successfully appeal to this great writ of right and thereby con
 tinue their lawlessness, it is nothing less than a perversion of the constitutional guaranty.
 Reign of Terror.
 If the condition of this district is, in
 fact, such as it is made to appear from sources which l regard entirely reli- able, then a reign of terror prevails in Jefferson county which defies or evades the law and subverts government and se-
 cures liberty only to those who desire to take the law in their own hands, and nothing could be more intolerable. If a man, willing to work, with the opportu- nity to sell his labor, by threats or vio
 lence is prohibited from engaging in work
 
 demned by the laws of the land--he is just as much deprived of his liberty as If he were put in jail; and if the fact be, as 1t now appears to be, practically un-
 disputed, that hundreds and even thous- ands of miners, white and coored, are willing to go to work on terms that are entirely satisfactory to them, and they are prevented from doing so by threats of violence, which they have just cause to fear, and this condition is in any part due to the efforts of MT. Fairley and MT. White to unionize this district, I do
 not care what protests either of these men make, they the people who are responsible for existing conditions. Ger tain it is that before they began this movement this state of affairs did not exist, while the present condition of ter TOT and prostration followed closely and immediately the presence here of their organizers. If MT. Fairley or MT White, either or both of them, can show one mine in the district where men can work in safety without protection who are not in the union, it would go much further
 towards satisfying the public that they are in no wise responsible for the law lessness and anarchy which exists, than any assertions they may make
 Detection and Reward. In considering different remedies for l-tlt SuppltSSlOu ol lllc tAlSllilS Stdlc UT i lawlessness in this district it is recalled that in the former similar condition in this district Governor Jones used most effectively number of expert detectives,
 who went into the field and spotted a number of criminals, who were brought before the courts and tried and punished. | He also made forcible his orders and l proclamations by offering rewards for detection and capture of the guilty ones. l Whether or not Governor Conner has ap- piled the detective proposition, I do not
 know; but certain it Is that what has
 been done along that line can be done | again.

Boy Makes Good Run.

The following clipping appeared in a recent issue of the Gadsden Journal:
 Leslie and Herschel Walker of Ems Icy are in the city as the guests Of their grandfather, J. H. Anderson, on Walnut street. Both are bright young fellows, Herschel being about IS years of age, while his brother is 15. Leslie rode here on his bicycle, covering the distance between this city and Ensley in 12 hours, which probably breaks the record for long run for boy of his age. They will spend several days in the city"

Pay Days at Steel Plant.

Commencing today the bi-monthly dis tribution of salaries among the employees at the steel mill will begin and will be concluded Saturday. A large sum of money will be paid out as the mill has been running exceptionally well and most of those employed in the operating de- partments are paid by tonnage. Several records having been broken during the past few weeks, the wages of the em- ployes will increase accordingly.
 The merchants and business men are anticipating good business. The mill has been in steady operation since the resumption in June, and the employees have lost but little time. At no time in the history of the mill has the plant been running more steadily than at present, and from reports in regard to orders for steel rails on hand and in sight the pros poets for continued operations are exceed ingly bright.

Press Notice.

The So-Called Alaska" Wheat--A variety of wheat under the name of Alaska" Is being widely advertised as capable of yielding at the rate of 200 bush els to the acre under ordinary soil conditions" and even better under extra conditions" It is stated that this variety was found growing wild on the eastern shore of Alaska and claims of the most extravagant nature are made for It. Tn consequence of this notoriety the department is re- ceiving many requests for seed
 This type of wheat has been known for years, both in this country and iil Europe. It has been tried at several state experiment stations in the west ern United States during the past 15 years, but nowhere have the yields been high enough to merit attention. The wheat has been grown to a very limited extent on certain heavy undralned soils in France for many years. In such locations it is said to yield rath CT better than the ordinary wheat, but as 1t Is one of the poorest wheats known for making flour, it is never grown where the ordinary variety of wheat will thrive,
