Interest In Good Music.

"All music lovers are, as a matter or
course, greatly interested in the music fes-
tival projected for 1870" said a member
of the Birmingham Oratorio society.
I'm view of the fact that the festival
last April under the direction of Mr.. Dam
rosch was exceptionally popular musical
ly, and the further fact that it was better
attended than any former festival, a repe-
tition of something of the sort next April
would certainly draw well. I believe that
the philosophical people of Birmingham
will attach their names to a guarantee
fund without the least hesitation.
Birmingham is gaining the reputation
OF being a musical center. Interest in
good music Is unquestionably on the in
crease. This was in evidence at the DAM
rosch festival last year 1t is in evidence
III the support which the Treble Clef club
is receiving in the matter of associate
membership tickets. 1t is in evidence in
the enthusiasm which characterizes the
members of the Music Study club, and 1t

What Jefferson County Will Do

Alabama's great Industrial county is
being slandered. There are men who
say it is not in line with the swelling
public sentiment of the state, and
some have not hesitated to declare that
this county will vote to sustain the
politicians who have precipitated an
unseemly and unnecessary issue. The
/ true way to controvert such stories is
to go to work to bring out the vote
of the country, for full vote means a
good round vote against the amend
ment.
This district is known in London,
and even in Shanghai and Yokohama.
The county itself names the price of
pig iron the world round. Such coun-
ty can Ill afford to have news sent out
that 1t is controlled by a radicalism
that is not even content with the most
drastic prohibition statutes that were
ever enacted. 1t cannot afford to gain
the i'll opinion of conservative men far
and near in order to serve coterie of
scheming politicians.
Let us meet the special efforts of the
amendment people in this county with
equally energetic efforts on the other
side. The former have plainly decided
to make Jefferson county the chief
battle-ground, and the opponents of
the amendment stand ready to meet
the final tactics of party impelled to
seek In this county a comfort it cannot
find in the state at large. The great
battle of the campaign is to be fought
in this county, and no one need have
any misgivings concerning the result.
The people Of Jefferson county know
on which side their bread is buttered.
| They know that the Carmichael and
Fuller acts are extremely drastic, and
they know that Joe Bells home was
searched and they want no multiplied
ton of home raids under the second
section of the pending amendment.
Jefferson's vote will be listed against
the entire amendment.

THE WEALTHIEsT INDIAN.

from Deslies Weekly.
A Choctaw Indian is going to build A.
24O-mile railroad. For the last six wears
this Choctaw's income has been a cool
million dollars year. He is Lon C.
Hill, Jr.. of Harrington, Tex, and he is
doing great things for the lower Rio
Grande region of the Lone Star state. 1t
is there that he has made his fortune by
the simple process of buying untitled
lands at low prices and increasing the
value MANIFOLD by irrigation He was
the first man to realize the possibilities
of that territory. He had been educated
for the law, and was living at the little
town OF Beeville, about 200 miles north
Of Harlingen, when he had occasion,
eight years ago, to visit Brownsville. In
order to reach 1t an overland trip by
wagon had to be made over $50 miles
of semidesert country. He took careful
note of the soil, and made up his mind
that here was his chance. But he was
stone broke. So he went about obtaining
options on purchases of enormous tracts
Of land along the river. at prices ranging
from 81 to So an acre. He borrowed
enough to bind these options for two
years. Mr.. Hill is worth 100000, and
the money is still piling up. He is going
to build railroad of his own from Har-
lingen to San Antonio-240 miles-and he
is doing it all alone. That Is a record
for eight years effort.

State Fair Grounds

The more the subject of buying the
State Fair Grounds is considered the
more the proposition seems to be COM
mending itself to those who look ahead
even 10 years in the growth of the
Greater City. In 10 years Ensley and
Birmingham will grow together via
Fairview, and then a park and play
ground will be greatly needed. West
End and Elyton are near at hand, and
a park at Fairview would meet the
wants of large number.
In the near coming years the ground
could be used for state fair purposes,
possibly for baseball purposes at a
good rental, but in the long run the
ground would be needed as park by
the people. The purchase should be
made with that purpose in view. The
city cannot perhaps afford to buy
ground for state fair purposes, but it
certainly can afford to buy breathing
space for pent-up people, and the
lands at Fairview are located just
where public park should be located.
This is the time to buy.
