of these cities as well as Montgomery and Mobile have enlarged their city nm it's by legislative enactment, ana unless Birmingham is likewise favored this city will be left far behind.
 'The new bill includes all the munich palties in the old bill together with Ems ley, Vivian and Thomas, thereby con solidating into one great city all the contiguous municipalities about Birming- ham, The terms of this bill are similar to those passed by the several legisla- lures of the different states, that enlarge the limits of their large cities.

kinq On Greater Birmingham.

Jere King was next called upon to discuss Greater Birmingham. He said:
 I've are all familiar with the fate or the Greater Birmingham bill which was passed by both houses of the legislature, approved by the governor, and later de- clared invalid by the supreme court, on account of errors in the senate journal You will recall that there were 3496 votes for Greater Birmingham, with only 9oJ votes against it, being 79 per cent or the total vote for the greater city.
 Upon moral grounds we are entitled to have the Greater Birmingham bill re- enacted at the extra session soon to be held: yet if the bill was entirely new there are compelling reasons for its pas sage. The census, of 1910 is almost upon us If Birmingham is to take her proper place among southern cities and seriously challenge for supremacy of such cities as Nashville, Memphis and Atlanta she must show in that census the population to which she is rightfully entitled This Is more than a local question; Alabama has a direct and vital interest in pro- noting the growth and progress of Bir- mingham A Greater Birmingham means a greater Alabama. Nearly every state has it's metropolis. Atlanta is Georgia s pride. Greater Nashville and Greater Msmnhis make greater Tennessee. Each

THE WOMAN IN THE CASE"

The guilt of Howard Little, the
mountaineer arrested charged with
the killing of Aunt Betsy" Justis,
George A. Meadows and wife and
their three children, again brings to
mind the old saying, well known to
those who deal with criminals that,
when there is crime, look for
the woman in tine case"
The crime was one of the most
horrible ever committed in this sec
ton, the killing of defenceless wo-
men and innocent children lending
diabolic savagery TO this most in
human offense and beyond the ordi-
nary crime of murder. Robbery was
thought to have been the prime mo-
tive, a paltry fifteen hundred dol
lars the sum which deprived a mind
OF all human instincts and awaken
ed in the perpetTator passion more
nellish than is usually attributed to
the most bloodtsirsty savage that
ever roamed the forests of primitive
America.
Robbery was one but not the un-
DERIVING motive. The mountaineer
had an affinity His british passions
were excited. Love OF wife, home
and family were all destroyed. He
wanted to leave the country; to get
away with the one who had destroy
ed all that might have been good,
honest, faithful and true in his ma
ture No one knows, or can under
stand, any more than he, the work
ings of his mind under the subtle
spell of bad woman's influence.
But the woman caused the crime.
She tempted. the man strayed and
plunged into the bottomless abyss
Of a dreadful crime for which he
must pay with mis- soul
No one censures the wronged wife
who gave convicting evidence when
she learned why he had committed
the murder. Hell hath no fury like
woman scorned"
