KING CALLS FOR VARIANTS VIEWS
SAYS PEOPLE OF lRMINGHAM WANT TO KNOW WHERE HE STANDS ON THIS ALL IMPORT ANT SUBJECT.

Representative Jere C. King, the au- thor of the Greater Birmingham bill, has issued the following:
 "Dr. Felix I. Tarrant's candidacy for representative, and his position on Great CT Birmingham, are of such importance as to require some attention from the friends of Greater Birmingham.
 ''The Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade have inaugurated a cam paign for the passage of a bill at the coming extra session of the legislature which will include all the towns about Birmingham, viz: Woodlawn, East Lake, North Birmingham. North Haven, Gray mont. Elyton, West End, Ensley, Wy lam, Pratt City and Thomas. This bill treats all of these towns exactly alike, and there are no more elections pro- yided for.
 "Dr. Tarrant favors the bill except that he wants Ensley and Wylam excluded from the bill unless they voluntarily vote to come in. He favors arbitrary an- nexation as to all of the towns, but does not apply this rule to Ensley notwith- standing North Birmingham, North Ha- Ntn dIlu TTdlt 1lty VOLcQ dEdlUSt dnne4- ation. True, Ensley did not vote on the question but If she had and had voted against annexation, she would be in ex- actly the same fix as Pratt City and North Birmingham, and both. of these towns are just as independent of Bir- mingham as Ensley and Pratt City is farther away than Ensley. Dr. Tarrant would apply one rule to Ensley and an- other to Pratt City and North Birming- ham. His position is untenable and in- defensible. The people want action and not elections. The people of Birmingham have wished and worked for Greater Bir- mingham for 20 years. The outside towns have sold their bonds. built their school houses and made their improvements and are ready to come in, but they want all towns to come In alike. If Woodlawn is to come, Ensley should be made to do likewise No partiality in this bus mess.
 "If Dr. Tarrant has made pledges that will preclude his voting for this bill. the people should know 1t before election time, so they can have an opportunity to correct this mistake.'

THE CANNON ROARED.

How an Ovation by a Youthful De-
mosthenes Was Spoiled.
While q. .lpaigning in his home state
Speaker Cannon was once inveigled
into visiting the public schools Of a
town where he was billed to speak.
In one Of the lower grades an ambi-
tious teacher called upon a youthful
Demosthenes to entertain the distin-
guished visitor with an exhibition of
amateur oratory. The selection at
tempted was Byron's Battle Of Wa
terloo," and just as the boy reached
the end of the first paragraph Speaker
Cannon suddenly gave vent to a vic.
lent sneeZe.
"But hush, bark" detained the
youngster-"a deep sound strikes like
a rising knell! Did We hear it?"
The visitors smiled, and a moment
later the second sneeze-which the
speaker was vainly trying to hold back
came with increased violence.
But hark!" (bawled the boy)-"that
heavy sound breaks in once more,
And nearer, clearer, deadlier than before!
Arm! Arm! 1t Is the lannon's opening
roar!
This was too much, and the laugh
that broke from the party swelled to
roar when Uncle Joe chuckled: "Put
up your weapons, children. I won't
shoot any more."-Success Magazine.
