ION ELECTRIC SIGN
SECRETARY DAVE APPLAUDs AD-
 VERTIsING PROJECT.
Declares Huge Sign Must Impress Com. era This Way With Faith of
 Montgomery h

Secretary Dave, of the Commercial Club. is enthusiastic about the big electric sign soon to be put up. In speaking of 1t Monday he said:
 'srhe idea of the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company in erecting a permanent electrical advertising sign that shall attract attention to Mont- gomery Is fine one. have met a half dozen people today who are pug 2led over the best slogan for the sign, and I have no doubt that out of the many minds working on the one sub ject will come the very best short phrasing that has ever been evolved regarding this city.
 q am glad to know that the sign will be where not only travelling pso- pls can read it, but Montgomery peo- pie themselves can read 1t: for we need to cultivate undoubting faith in ourselves, as much as we need to at- tract attention of outsiders. In fact, if there can be produced in this city an unwavering faith in itself. it has the power to make a great city.
 "The. idea Let there be light shin ing out upon the darkness of Mont gomery's night. Is just what we want. We want Montgomery to see more clearly. Light and faith will make
 
 man to point to any city in the South that has greater natural advantages than Montgomery. Birmingham has more minerals. of course. but it has no navigable stream. The ports of the Gulf have more contact with commerce but they have no agricultural region like ours. We have waterways, agri- culture, nearness to electric power and strategic position between the min- erals of the South and the sea.
 We are right in emphasizing Mont- gomery upon the mind of the stranger. but the stranger can very well turn upon us and say, show me faith by your works We men of Montgomery have not yet learned to understand our own city and to act accordingly. I hope this enterprising move with It's constant reminder of Montgomery's s possibilities will make Montgomery men themselves the chief participants in the development that can be brought here. look forward to the day when electric power shall hoist and lower the heavy products that come and go by water.
 "When electric power shall do away with the smoke pail hanging over en- terprises that waste the power that lies in coal; when electric power shall dart hither and thither through the central portion of Alabama, trains and trolleys loaded with passengers and freight: when electric power shall show the use that we can make Of the greatest gift made to any Southern States, the 100000 horse power at present not used but some day to be used as an eternal asset of greatness. !"

There's Trouble Brewing for Those
 Professionals Without Licenses

Mir. Cowan rocked back and forth in an ecstacy of happiness. '.No." he l said, "it ain't much, but it's going to be-"
 Then Mir. cowan pulled out a third cigar, glanced from it's brown sym metry to the reporters longing face. and forced the smoke between his own lips.
 Now young man." he continued with thumbs in his suspenders, 'fts this way: As take 1t, the law of Alabama does not allow garnishment. or legal collecting. of moneys for any business that is not licensed. I may not be right, but I don't think collections can be made unless the man to whom the debt Is owed for professional work has . license. Some time in the future, 1T these people do not pay their licenses. I may push this theory of mine, but l am not going to now. You see, IT the poor fellows cannot collect their fees they won't be able to take out licenses and then where would the city De! 50 I'm going to wait on them . few more days and then If they do not cousn up. I'll let the information leak out that those who owe doctors and law yers and dentists, merchants and ev- cry other sort of money making men, need not pay their bills, and really do not have to, unless the creditor has legal license.
 .Come to think of 1t, the city may be able to sue and fine these persons for practicing without a license. but that their platrons. clients. patients and debtors do not have to pay unless the men have . license. believe Is a fact. Man alive! Just think of the long bills that this will cancel. It seems like a benefice from Providence. like a fairy god-mother paying up for you yes, as take 1t, these men are in q bad fix; they win have trouble getting their money"

City License Inspector J. c. Cowan arose suddenly Monday from his desk In the City Clerks office, crossed over to Treasurer Tait and slapped that gentleman square between the shoul- der blades. MT. Tait said several things as he spilled the pieces of eight all over the noor, but Mir. Cewan did not stop to look. He walked over to Ben Kilgrow and handed him a oigar. After . few minutes Ben came to and lit up in time to see Mir. Cowan with his arm around Bill Blacks shoulder whispering in the ear of the smiling City Clerk.
 All this was too much for the sterile news gatherer. who was searching the sterile den with e microscope for in- formation, and he went into the sane tum and seizing the coat tails of the license inspector Jbesousht him to im- part that which had made him merry.
 Mfr. Cowan sat down again and picked up his license receipt book. tears of joy were in his eyes and actually he unlocked the hidden drawer and pulled out another cigar, but gave it to MT. Black. Then Mr. Cowan opened his little license book and showed where but thirteen doctors out of near ly eighty in the city had paid their license for 1909. He also showed that but nine dentists out of the whole swarm had loosened up, and that but twelve lawyers out of . city full had come ever with the price of . license:

SMALLPOX SCARE
FOUR CFTY FIREMEN ARE SUSPECTS
 IN DETENTION.
Somewhat Crippled Heck aaa Ladder Cempany, Bat No Fears of Ep-
 faemic are Entertained Several Cases.

The removal of four firemen, sus- pected of smallpox, to the house of detention at the city hospital. yester- day morning. has thrown the entire fire department Into a state of alarm. Thorough fumigation of the building on Madison Avenue was begun at noon and it is hoped that this precautionary measure will put stop to . further increase of cases.
 Fifteen days ago B. J. Blocker. of steamer company No. was stricken with a slight case of smallpox, and transferred to the pest house. It Is believed that the other men were in- fected through him. as they all slept in the same dormitory with him. Sat- urdsy evening A. J, Dozier, the driver Of the chemical engine, and K. A. Boat wright. a member of the Hook and Ladder Company. became i'll, showing symptoms of small pox. The follow ing day W. c. Ray and !. H. Law, Both of the hook and ladder company. were stricken fin a similar manner. pr. Stevenson, physician for the Firemen's 2 Association, was immediately called, and he advised the removal of all four to the house of detention to await fur ther developments.
 Four others who sleep in this same come exposed, but fnasmuch as they have recently been vaccinated they are probably immune.
 The hook and ladder is considerably incapacitated by this temporary inroad into their numbers. In case of neees- city, however. 1t will be possible to procure substitutes. so the city should not have any fears of insufficient sers vice in the event of . large fire. | There has been a severe increase Of srnalipox all through this city. during the past three weeks, though 1t has by no means reached epidemic propor- tions. At present. besides the four firemen, there are twenty-five cases at the pest house, all but two of whom are negroes. This is the highest num- ber reached in the last three years. yet the Health Department considers that there is no sneed of anxiety. Every one of them is but . slight attack.
 The sanitary inspectors are extreme iy energetic in their efforts to prevent a spread of the disease. Not only are all cases sent directly to the pest house, but the inspectors are tnvesti- gating and ferreting out possible ones. Yesterday, for instance, Inspector Braun received . rumor that negro named Terry, living at No. 324 Clay Street, was suspiciously i'll, Upon reaching the house he found that Ter ry had fled to the country. Braun im- pnediately gave chase and will attempt to bring the negro back before he has endangered anyone else.
