Three great coffee drinkers were my

down occasionally.
Before the meal was half over, each
one passed up her cup to be refilled, re-
marking how fine the coffee was. The
mother asked for third cup and inquired
as to the brand of coffee / used I didn't

DERRICK CAUSES
RAILS TO SPREAD

The rails on high bridge two miles
east of Jasper on the Frisco railroad
spread under a big steam derrick yester-
day afternoon at O'Clock, in consequence
of which the wreckers machinery was
badly hung up on the bridge and traffic
over the Frisco was seriously delayed, in
formation received early in the night be-
ing to the effect that 1t would be impossi-
BILE to clear the track before 2:SO o'clock
this morning.
1t seems that the derrick, pulling three
or four freight cars. was sent out from
Birmingham to clean UP some wreckage
on the road beyond Jasper, one of the
fast westbound freight trains having be-
come derailed without accident or serious
injury to the train.
The derrick was sent for, and as it was
passing over the bridge the rails spread

REBIE HALL TO
HOLD THE COURT

The Board of Revenue at its regular
meeting yesterday afternoon signed up
the official papers whereby Rebie hall,
on the corner of Nineteenth street and
Third avenue, Bessemer, is retained as a
location for the city court of the Marvel
City. The action was taken after the
county commissioners had had the matter
under consideration for several weeks.
The building has been leased for four
years at $500 per annum.
The old lease on Rebie hall, where the
city court has been located for several
years, expired on July 81, and when the
matter of drawing up new lease came
up considerable objection to the old build
ing arose, and strong effort was made
by prominent attorneys to have the
courtrooms moved to McAdory hall. The
court officials desired to retain the pres
ent building however, and after looking
over both carefully the board reached the
conclusion that it was best to allow the
court to remain where it is.
The old building, Rebie hall, will be
overhauled generally, modern sanitary
fixtures to be installed, and the court
room and all offices are to be replastered
and repainted The new lease provides
for jantor service and specifies that the
proper repairs shall be made and main

GRIFFINCAMP TO
DRAW COUNTY MAPS

The Board of Revenue yesterday en-
tered into a contract with A. j. Grif-
fincamp for the drawing of maps of
the county to be used In the tax as
SCISSORS Office Bids on the work were
opened by the commissioners and a
contract was Immediately drawn up
and duly signed. Members of the board
believe that the contract is the best
and safest ever secured on this par
ticular work.
Mr.. Griffncamp's bid for the draw
ing of the maps was 2% cents per in
closure, where heretofore the county
has been paying cents. The saving
is about one-half and the board re-
CURED the successful bidder to give an
indemnity bond of $500 to insure faith
full and efficient work and to protect
the county against bad drawings. In
the past some trouble has been eX-
perienced through faulty drawings and
1t was this trouble which led the COM
missioners to require a bond from Mr..
Griff1ncamp.
The contract signed yesterday will
remain in force for one year from dat tie
and requires that all maps must show
roads, streams railroads and other
features affecting the topography.

LID MAY FALL AT
ATLANTIC CITY

Atlantic City, N. J., August 24.-Atlantic
City's Sunday closing controversy was
complicated today when representatives
of the State Law and Order society
served a mandamus on Judge Martin E.
Keffer of the city police court, requiring
him to show cause at once why he should
no taccept complaints in violation of Sab
bath regulations brought by detectives OF
the reform organization.
The mandamus was issued by Justice
Garrison of the supreme court. Judge
Keffer had refused to receive any COM
plants for infractions of Sabbath laws
unless they were preferred through the
office of Chief of Police woodruff, who
refused to cooperate with the reform
bodies in any way. If the mandamus
served this morning is made permanent
by the court, the Pastors alliance Will
