SECRETARY
 WIENER QUITS Resigns From Com
 mercial Club. HIS MOVE A SURPRISE
Will Devote Time and Attention to
 King Kotton KarnivaL
Question Came Up With Commercial Club Whether His Close Comnec. ton With Carnival Move
 ment Aided the Club.

Secretary George s. Weever of the Montgomery Commercial Club yester- day rendered his resignation to the Board of Directors of the Club to take the future devote his efforts towards the establishment of a King Kotton Karnival in the South.
 The resignation of Secretary Weey- CT yesterday morning came as a great surprise to Montgomery. Members of the Commercial Club in measure were surprised.
 For some time past the matter of ' Ss M hsS nss meeting of the Board of Directors of the Club was called at the instance of President Fred 5. Ball and Secretary Weever At this meeting the matter Of Mir. Viewers close connection with the Cotton Seed Crushers' Association in the King Kotton Karnival as secre- tary of the publicity bureau was dis. cussed. sf-
 Ths directors considered Mr. wsev- Montsomars N ssaassnss relative tive % to the King Kot- ton Karnival was one or the pest methods of advertising the city possi- ble, and to some extent agreed with him. The secretaryship of the Pubic sociation, however. demanded a large portion of Mir. Viewers time. and Mr !. Weever was of the opinion that. as he intended handing in his resignation before very long. his resignation at this time would be In every way bet. ter for the Club. as the summer months showed very little activity, and the new secretary to be elected would be able to get into the spirit of Mont gomery conditions before the busy months in the late fall
 Tt is true that my resignation has been handed In to thefdirectors of the Commercial Club" said Mir. Weever last night. Tn a way I regret exceedingly this turn of affairs, for my stay in Montgomery as Secretary of the Club has been most pleasant indeed. Mont gomery is a great city, and will con- tinue to grow rapidly.

EXPECT HARD FLOOR FIGHTS The House Has a Hard Week Before It. BIRMINGHAM BILL TO COME UP Big Committee Is Expected to Come
 here to Fight for It. The Commission Government Bm Is AIso Expected to He the Occas-
 ion of . Fight This
 Week.
BIRMINGHAM BILL TO COME UP

Freed of the heavy responsibilities of prohibition legislation, the House | of Representatives Is slated for a great business grind during the week coming. It is said to be the purpose of the lower House to turn out bills and bills and bills for the later con | sideration of the Senate while the | latter body fights out the second half | of constitutional prohibition.
 1t is true that many good old floor
 fights will develop in the House dur ing this week, but the prediction is
 that the committees have been very careful and deliberate In the more i'm portant propositions and the 'advers- ed" will have fairly rough sailing when an attempt Is made to get consideration of their ill-favored measures
 Unquestionably the fur Is going to fly in many directions when commis-
 sion government comes up. This bill, the subject of long ante-session talk.
 met with fierce opposition in the Joint committee on municipal organization.
 The thirteen members who took a
 vote thereon dji not blossom into the | hoodoo as some might have expected but turned one vote to the affirmative and resulted in a favorable report. But the bill of MT. IIrquhart's as
 originally drawn has been so mutt | lated in committee that even its l friends hardly recognize any of its most beneficial features. Yet there | is something left and the leaders ex- pect to restore and build up the more
 advantageous essentials of the meas
 ure. And in the endeavor to do So
 they will meet with considerable op- | position.
 The report had 1t that Greater Bir-
 mingham has not slept wink since
 the joint committee broke down part | of the campaign last week. Ensley won her fight in style very pleasing | to the adherents of her cause in the
 committee room but they realize tue
 possibility of the fight being resumed
 on the floor to reach out and embrace | the steel city along with the half doz-
 en or more surrounding municipali-
 ties North Birmingham is said to be passing her fight on the precedent set l in the case of excepting Ensley from l the main bill. To this end Mayor
 triel and City Attorney smith were down in montgomery last week, put
 ting pointers in legislators heads. 1 A big crowd of citizens are looked | for in Montgomery from Birmingham
 early next week in the interest of
 commission government and Greater | Birmingham. This Is said to be the | outcome of the mass meeting for | commission government in that city. l And the end of temperance legisla- I ton has not come even in the House. 1 Several reported and new bills of a radical nature are yet to be acted up-
 on. notwithstanding the questionable constitutionality of one or two of them, as pointed out by lawyers of
 known ability, 1t is expected that there will be no trouble in getting
 them through. This kind of legisla- tion is taken for granted and the op- position wilt receive little mercy from l the Prohis.

AGED COUPLE DESTITUTE.
Used Last Money They Had for Mar
 riage License.


 Anniston, Aug. 7.-(Speciai,) IA pitt full case of Restitution has come under the observation of City Physician T. J. Brothers in the condition of John Hay wood and his wife. who reside at the old Oxanna Hotel in Ward 5.
 Haywood Is a Confederate veteran about S6 years of age, and his wife Is the widow of a veteran. They were married last winter and at that time the only money which either of them had was the slight pension which the bride had receivedSin recognition of her first husbands services, this money be- Ing used 1t Is said, to purchase the H. cense which enabled them to marry.
 Recently the old man suffered a stroke of apoplexy and Is said to be in a critical condition. His wife Is feeble with age and unable to give him the proper care, a condition which has prompted Dr. Brothers to make an ap- peal for a public nurse, one who would be paid for by the City Charity League or by the city proper, and be at com mand in all cases of this kind.

 Three Men.

washington. Aug. Tt was said authoritatively at the treasury depart ment today that the board of tarin ex- perts to be appointed by the president in accordance with a provision of the new tariff law might consist of five men instead of three. It was pointed ont that the number was discretionary with President Taft.
 Thus far it can be said absolutely no member of the board has been select ed.
 Secretary McVeagh. of the treasury department. is giving consideration to the appointees and expects to confer with the president on the matter in the near future. It Is reasonably cer- tain that the board will be named be- fore the president starts on his trip in September

REGISTER LETTERS BY MACHINE.
French Have Ingenious Machine iE
 PQafal System.


 Paris, Saturday, July 31-The French government has just introduced into use an ingenious automatic device for registering letters. The letter Is drop ped into a box and a nickel piece, purchaseable for five cents, placed In the slot A crank is turned. number ed receipts falls out and the corres- bonding number is stamped on the let ter.
 The ingenious feature of the machine is the device for preventing the usc of any except the nickel coin. This is accomplished by means of magnet which attracts iron and nickel, the lat ter very feebly. The attraction of the nickel is neatly calculated and as the coin falls, the attraction is just sufff- cient to retard 1t and make 1t fall into the pocket which operates the mechanism. An iron piece on the other hand, would be strongly attracted to miss the pocket and be elected. All other coins are also elected.
