NO DECISION ON
 BESSEMER COURT

Members of the Board of Revenue went to Bessemer yesterday to look into the matter of the advisability of moving the quarters for the city court of the Marvel City, but the commissioners took no &C., ton nor is there any intimation of what they intend to do.
 Both the Rebie hall, where the court Is now quartered, and the McAdory hall, the prospective location. were inspected by the members of the board and persons interested in the matter accompanied them to point out the merits and defects Of the two buildings.
 The matter of moving the court is proving a quite live question in Bessemer and many people are displaying an ac- five interest in the matter. It Is claimed by some that the present building is out of date and affords poor accommodation, while it is claimed that the McAdory hall is a more desirable location for the court by reason of the fact that 1t is new and modernly fitted up and out of the way of the noise of passing street cars
 The commissioners have looked into the matter carefully and have taken the question under advisement It is probable fhat definite action will be taken relative to the matter oday
 The Board of Revenue is at present spending the greater portion of It's time in passing upon the coroner's and other claims.

NOVEL TEST FOR
 MOTOR GAR CHASSIS

The manufacturers of the Stearns auto mobile, with factories in Cleveland, nave issued an interesting circular on new classis testing system recently adopted for the trial of the Stearns cars. The new test Is said to be the most rigid which 1t is possible to devise.
 The scheme is to drive the cars over a course of 15o miles. part of which is formed of rough country roads. the auto mibile being loaded with 800 to 1000 pounds of wet sand according to the size of the machine. A checking system has been installed and carefully tabulated report of the action of the machines on hills and rough places is turned over by the tester to a recorder and the report ts credited to the chassis number of the car.
 MT. Stearns. head of the Etearns fac- tory, states his belief that his car. which is handled locally by the Birmingham Au- tomobile company. should be able to stand far rougher treatment in tests than they receive in the hands of users and for this reason he has adopted the new method of testing the machines.
 It is pointed out that wet sand Is ab- solutely dead weight and in travelling over rough roads or through water breakers the car so loaded is in no way relieved and the test Is very severe.

ONE MAN HURT IN
 AUTO COLLISION Hickman Car and Buggy Come
 Together HORSE IS SLIGHTLY CUT Hickman Says He Was Going Around Corner Slowly and Trying To
 Avoid Any Approach
 Ing Vehicles.

collision between an automobile driven by B. c. Hickman and buggy containing two unknown men resulted In the slight bruising of one of the men in the buggy last night.
 The accident happened at Twelfth avenue and Thirty-fourth street about S;20 o'clock. In the car, which was a runabout, with MT. Hickman was Will liam Davidson and young lady. Ac- cording to MT. Rickman's account of the affair he was driving at a low rate of speed. The road at this point curves on long grade and is very narrow. The automobile was going down the hill while the buggy was coming up it.
 T was driving well to the outside of the road and was very nearly in the ditch alongside it when I went around the curve" said MT. Hickman. q was driving slow and just as rounded the curve the collision occurred. The horse in the buggy was scratched some while the men in the buggy hardly knew what had happened. One of them was laid out on the ground and when dHOplCl dulOHlODle CdHle up d minute later he was placed in it and rushed to hospital. My machine was dam aged a little"
 The man who had been thrown to the ground was rushed to the Copeland in- f1rmary, the machine going to the in- firmary at a fast rate of speed. He was examined by the doctors there but they pronounced his injuries slight The buggy had been brought to the in- firmary by this time and he was placed in 1t and sent on his way.
 The horse and buggy belong to the Fies stable and the horse was the most badly damaged thing in the ac- cident. It received a few cuts It was removed to the French veterinary in- firmary.
 From what could be learned of the two men they had been to Mt. Pinson yesterday on picnic and apparently imbibed too much A driver for a bottling concern reported that they had run into him near the Vanderbilt fur mace and knocked one of his mules down.
 Chief Bodeker is looking for the driver of the car which removed the injured man to the infirmary. The chief had just come out of his home and was standing at the corner of Twelfth avenue and Thirty first street waiting for car when this machine passed him on the way out. According to Chief Bodeker 1t was travelling so fast that he could not distinguish the num- bers even under the arc light. few moments later it returned at a much faster pace, this time having the in- jured man in 1t.
 On this return trip he timed them and found their pace to be over 40 miles an hour. He has ordered the arrest of the driver and expects to learn his identity today. He stated that he will ask Judge Feagin to go the limit on fining the chauffeur.

state of Alabama there are In the com bined numbers of Methodists and Sap lists considerably moro than 3GO,Ooo members: to these add Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Roman Catholics and other smaller Christian communions and the sum total will indicate that the majority of voters in Alabama are church members The great bulk of these people, s citizens. not as church. members, habitually vote the demo- cratic ticket. They likewise may be credited with giving tone and shape to public opinion, as public opinion eX- presses itself on issues for which Mir. Carmichael was contending. In other words. If the church people in Alabama are in the majority, and as citizens want the enactment of certain safe and sane" laws, Is 1t not democratic to give them what they want? Such evl- dently is what Mir. Carmichael r;sant. But all the same. his remark in this connection seems to have served to The Age Herald and to MT. Brown both the occasion and the material for fur ther learned of not logical dictum, touching numerous long-haired looms and sundry fanatics, from MT. Sooner down.
 Gentlemen should compose them- selves, and not lose sleep over the
 
 church and state in this part of the world. That thing is not coming. The state does not want it, the church does not want it, MT. Carmichael does not want it, MT. Sooner" does not want it. and could not get it if he did, The Age Herald does not want 1t, MT. Jerome s. Brown does not want it, even the "carpetbagger" from Ohio does not want 1t, and that vast horde of long, haired fanatics (so called) so grace fully held up to courteous contempt, may be counted on to have horizon" sufficiently large not to want 1t. And while blest with Alabama citizenshi ip most of this crowd long haired fanatics with the rest, will continue to vote the democratic ticket. They desire prohi- bition written in the state constitution as a safe and sure predicate for the supreme court to have when statutory enactments are assailed In the lower courts. Respectfully.

USES SHOTGUN ON
 NEGRO BURGLAR

J. N. Chambers of 1925 Thirtieth street. north, had an exciting experience about S:3o last night with negro burglar. The negro was attempting to break into the back door of MT. Chambers residence. and the latter, securing his shotgun, sent two loads of buckshot in the ne- gro's direction.
 The negro jumped and yelled. and then disappeared. MT. Chambers followed him for short distance, but lost him in the darkness and had to give up the chase.
 He is of the opinion that he hit the negro, being at rather close range when he shot, while the negro's actions would indicate that he had been wounded.
 The matter was reported to police head quarters, but so far the burglar has not been apprehended. In the darkness MT. Chambers was unable to see the negro well enough to describe him.
