FIGHTING AGAINST
 MOVING ITS WIRES
COMPANY OPPOSES MATTER OF PUTTING WIRES UNDER oRoUND-YouNe MAN BEATEN BY IRATE PARENT.

Gadsden, November 22-(special.) )-The matter of the Southern Bell Telephone company placing its wires under the ground in the district to be paved is still undecided. Representatives of the company have been here and a further conference between the company and the city authorities will take place soon. The company contends that If 1t is compelled to change it's wires the cost will be such that an increase in the rates must be made to make the investment of the com pany profitable. It also insists that all must be treated alike and that if the order to put its wires under ground is enforced, similar action must be taken in reference to the wires or the cor porations using the streets with poles and wire. Just what the final outcome of the controversy will be cannot be foretold. but it is probable that since active ne- gotiations are on the matter will be def initely settled within the next few days and work on the street paving begun In earnest

Ozmunt was knocked off the porch and sustained a
 broken collar bone and other injuries that
 resulted in his having to be sent to the hospital. However he still has the license and If tho lady is willing the end has probably not yet been reached.

Good Pianos SelIiug on Almost Your Own Te
Store open till 830.

"All pianos prices have gone to smash" tells the tale of the most sem sational sale of good pianos ever known in Birmin gham, a sale that is not a matter of our choosing, but a positive necessity.
 The contractors having given us im- peritive orders to "Get your pianos out of the way" leaves us ch oice in the matter. This stock must be closed out every instrumnet, within the next five days, and there is but one way to accomplish it--shut our eyes to all loss of profit, even cost itself in some in stances. and let the good people need ing pianos and organs come right in and take them on easy terms of pay ment at the sacrifice prices.
 When Seals says a thing it's true, when Seals discounts it counts, and we feel sure that the piano. o-purchasing public of this city and vicinity will not be slow to act. Our sales last week run from nine to seventeen day which fact could not have been accom- plished had we not have given the pur- chasters more than their moneys worth.
 Just consider for moment the fine makes from which you have to select, such as "Kimball' Seals" Weber, Packard" Whitney" Fischer" Price Teeple," "Hallet & Davis" and almost a dozen other well known makes, all plainly marked to sell at the lowest price ever known for pianos of the highest standard of excellence.

BREEDERS TO MEET
 IN CONVENTION

Omaha, Neb., November 22.-(Spe- cial.) )-One thousand men who have given the world in few years more knoweldge of heredity than all the libraries contained before the twen- tieth century; scientists from the United States. Canada, Hawaii, South Africa and the South American repub- lies will participate In the annual meeting of the American Breeders as- sociation, which opens here December and continues four days.
 A dozen years ago the subject of heredity was not usually taught in col leges. because not enough was known of the subject to justify teaching it.
 Divided into more than a score of committees, the leaders of the Amer ican Breeders association have been making a sweeping investigation of the laws of nature applied to heredity. While one committee is investigating fish breeding, another experiments with roses; still another committee of scientists seeks information on breed ing fur bearing animals; while David Starr Jordan heads committee on rugenics to investigate and report on heredity in the human race.
 At the meeting to be held in Omaha next month these committees will re- port. They will show how heredity, like electricity, Is coming rapidly into mans hand to increase production. They say it is an energy, which when harnessed will give the United States two billion dollars of new wealth each year on the farms of the country alone. Electrical energy has given the world billions-heredity Is force capable of giving the world more wealth than electricity, say the committees of this association.

GREAT CROP YEAR
IN NORTHWEST
Many Wheat Men Think They Should
Have Sold When at Dollar
Mark.

Spokane, wash. Sept l. - Sixty
Ave million bushels OF wheat. $4,000
600 bushels Of oats and 100000
bushels of barley is the extent of the
grain crop predicted for Washington,
Idaho and Oregon this season by mill
lers and bankers who have made a
close study of the situation in the
three states. The hay crop, including
alfalfa. will be the largest In the his
tory of the northwest. and in addition
the growers in the Yakima valley in
Washington viii make $4,000 bales of
hops. The crop is high grade and
free from defects.
The wheat acreage in Washington
is 2122. 900 acres this year. as against
i .72s.7s4 in 1908. when 25,5O0,0 900
bushels we're harvested The yield
this year is estimated at from Ss,0OO,'
600 to 10000. 900 bushels. as against
IS. 900. 800 bushels in 1907. oregon
has $4,000 acres in wheat this year,
as against slS.5s5 in 1908. and it is
expected the crop win be not less than
1e SOC. 900 bushels. If conditions had
been favorable throughout the state
the yield would be 21.000.0O0 bushels.
Idaho viii cut between s.500,000 and
10000 600 bushels this year, as com
pared with less than 100000 bushels
in 1908. It's acreage is $4,000 as
against 4144f2 a year ago.
Farmers are holding their oats for
S25 ton. which means from $29 to
S2s.5O at tidewater The barley crop
is large, with plenty Of coarse grain
for feeding later in the season. Many
of the wheat ranchers believe they
made a mistake in holding their grain
when it was at the dollar mark, as
prices have tumbled to from SO to SO
cents. Millers in the Inland Empire
do not expect a raise until spring. the
basis for this being that the farmers in
the Canadian northwest are cutting
bumper crop and the fact that Rus
sian and Danubian countries are
ready to ship to Europe
