"Of course I think an extra session is necessary but I hope it will last but few days-not over ten days at the most. Outside of Greater Birmingham there is no pressing legislation demanding atten- ton. We must have the enlarged city and we must put paid men in charge of our city affairs. I along with hundreds of other citizens in Birmingham am afraid of 40 aldermen. That is a spectre that few of us can contemplate serenely.
 When the legislature gets together it should re-enact the good measures which have been thrown out because of clerical errors. There will, of course, be amplifi- cation of the prohibition laws, but the whole session ought to last but a few days.
 T have heard some talk of provision by which liquor illegally sold should be declared contra band and the officers should be allowed to destroy it on the spot I am inclined to think the off cers should have more authority along this line.
 Tt should be borne in mind that any legislature or any administration for that matter, is unpopular in depressed times. Ten days should be the limit of the ses- sion."

Dr. RagydaT Vans Neov Couny

q am glad an extra session of the leg islature is to be called. It will give an opportunity to correct the awful errors of the senate clerk.
 But more important than anything else it will give the legislature the op- portunity to create the new county of Bessemer, which is the most necessary legislation that can come up. We people down here are going to put up big fight for new county law and I be- leve the governor will put it in his call. The representatives all over the state are in sympathy with us in our fight.
 Tn Birmingham, of course, they feel that they must have an enlarged city This together with corrections of void statutes is sufficient to justify an extra session. No legislature is farsighted enough to enact measures which will ex- actly meet the conditions sought to rem edy. An extra session gives opportunity to amplify and correct the measures all ready passed"

WILL NOT ELECT
 PURCHASING AGENT

An investigation brought to light yes- terday facts that indicate the defeat of the Cooper resolution in the council which provides for the election of a purchas- ing agent for the city of Birmingham.
 This subject has proved a live wire for some time and discussion relative to it dates back to the memorable contest for the position of Third ward alder man between A. A. Gambill and Asa L. Hoyt.
 Alderman Moore stated yesterday that there was no need for a purchasing agent and intimated that the resolution was not seriously considered. Alderman Estes also declared that he would op- pose the resolution.
 It was indicated yesterday too that the recommendation of the water commit tee providing for the employment of an engineer to make the investigation of the Friel or North Birmingham method of bringing water to Birmingham would re- main on the shelf for some time. The two aldermen referred to above declared themselves in opposition to granting the franchise. MT. Moore was outspoken in opposition, while MT. Estes was willing to vote for a measure that would save the people money in case he was made. certain that such would be the case. MT. Estes intimated that the most val uabe asset the North Birmingham prop ositon would have were the franchise granted would be the franchise which he considered most valuable.
 in spite of these little matters, how ever, and the interest centeredi in them, affairs in municipal circles are exceed inly quiet at the present time.

out immediately and removed to a neigh bor's home and medical aid summoned. Dr. Martin responded and announced that she would undoubtedly die from her in- juries.
 In the meantime a search was being made for any clew that might lead to the discovery of the dynamiters. Blood- hounds were sent to the scene from Bes- semer but the heavy rains of Tuesday night had washed the tracks away and nothing was accomplished by them.
 Gallant was very popular in Woodstock but was known to have few enemies and the belief there is that some one of these is guilty of the crime.
 The person placing the dynamite showed an intimate knowledge of the Gallant home, the dynamite having been placed directly under the bed occupied by MT. and Mrs Gallant. It literally tore the room to pieces and it was evident that an exceptionally large quantity of the explosive had been used Buildings considerable distance away were shaken by the explosion, while many window panes were crashed
 Funeral services will be held today over the remains of Gallant and interment will occur in the Pawn church cemetery, about four miles from Woodstock. The Green Undertaking Co. of Birmingham will be in charge.
 The officers of the Central Coal and Iron company. are greatly wrought up over the affair and are eXertins every effort to apprehend the person guilty of the deed.

 MT. Rosensthil is also making great effort to prevent forest fires and has writ ten the wardens to begin at once special efforts to put a stop to this practice. He hopes that within another year the organization will be so well perfected that it will be impossible to get away with an incendiary fire or an illegal killing in the feathered tribe.

Some Resentment Expressed Against The Order That All
 Dogs Must Be MuzzIed
-BLOUNT COUNTY MAN ASKS
 LEGISLATURE TO GET BUSY
Numerous Dogs Were Seen on Streets Yesterday With New Muzzes and All Are Trying to
 Get Them Off.
...............s..........................

The sweeping order of Mayor George B. loose to be muzzled, goes into effect this morning. The matter is just at present lie. There are many who concur in the opinion of the mayor that the dogs should be muzzled, but MT Dog has many friends withal.
 There is not one person in. ten who believes that the dogs should be mug zled if there is any way around it. Many contend that the muzzles are instruments of cruelty inasmuch as they interfere with the breathing of the canines 9th CTS contend that the matter of slaughter ing dogs on the streets will have a de- moralizing effect. Others in their af- lection for the little canines just natural ly believe that their dogs are too high minded to bite anybody, even if they went mad and that the animals are en- tirely too good to be muzzled and that that is all there is to it. Others believe the muzzles should be placed on some of their neighbors and those other people who talk too much And there are prob ably thousand other opinions as to why Fido should not have his mouth hitched up in harness.
 Idea From Blount County.
 While the order is no doubt a wise one the general trend of discussion would not indicate that it is at all popular, and no boom in the muzzle business is looked

The game season in Alabama for quail comes to a close Sunday night, and the feathered tribe will enjoy a few months of rest from the huntsman. During the past year the game laws of Alabama have greatly increased the number of birds and the slaughter during the past season has been very slight compared to previous records.
 Beginning Monday it will be illegal to kill any partridge. The wild turkey season continues for some time and the squirrel season went out two months ago.

An Ancient Mine.

AT Falun, Sweden, are the head
quarters@of a mining company with
a history so remote that the date Of
its origin cannot be definitely fixed.
An original purchase deed dated in
the year 1888 has to do with sale
of stock of the present company, and
a charter given by King Magnus Of
Sweden and Norway is dated Febru-
airy "a, 1347. At that time the rights
granted by King Maghus' predeces-
sors were referred to as very old.
The original business was the manu-
facture of copper and the mine at
Falun, "Stora Kopparberget" (the
great copper mountain), has been
continuously worked for nearly 700
years. In this time it has yielded

In divorcing a fool and his money

You will discover that most men

It's no wonder it takes three gen.

The man who tries to drown his
sorrows in the flowing bowl may dis
cover that it only makes his head
swim.
Many a fellow who thinks he is

down.
It's treat to listen to man who
asks you what you'll have.
Don't exaggerate your own faults.
Leave that to your friends.

headstrong with weak intellect.
It's all we'll enough to take the

Heaven would be overcrowded if

we know we can't get.
