$1,000 SCRAP
ON IN COURT

Before Judge Donworth, in fed
eral court today, the Old Town
mill and the National Bank OF
Comerce are at law over about
$1,000 as an afterslap in the en-
bezzlements of Bookkeeper Pink
ham of the Old Town mill.
1t is claimed the bank cashed
drafts made by the defaulting ac-
countant without authority and
when the paper on its face was ir-
regular. The mill company thinks
the bank ought to stand the loss.
The bank objects and has charged
the amounts to the account of the
mill company. A jury is hearing
the case. GtFa

efforts of guests and employees
were directed towards saving some
of the personal property.
Flames Shoot High.
Practically the only things of
value saved were a piano and some
|silverware. The clubhouse was a
long, one-story wooden structure.
containing two huge fireplaces.
AS soon as the flames had spread
to the clubhouse proper, the fire
places and their expansive flues
served as excellent drafts, and the
fire shot high into the heavens.
The loss is covered by about
$4,000 insurance. Architect
Everett Babcock, who was at the
clubhouse when the fire started,
stated that he would furnish the
club members with plans for q
new building Immediately. The
demolished clubhouse will be re-
placed by an entirely modern
structure.

My Liege! heard but little discussion of the matter by the people, but what I have heard was Ill direct opposition to 1t. They say 1t is altogether unnecessary; that the poor State has suffered enough already from Special Sessions and that the Greater Birmingham" measure Is not of itself of sufficient importance to justify the expense of a Special Session-besides I think they are little afraid of this particular Legislature.
