RECOVERS ROSARY
 BY UNIQUE SUIT

An unique case was settled yesterday afternoon in Judge H. B. Abernethy's d. vision of the inferior court when Mrs. Maud McEvoy was awarded the decision in q detinue suit brought against Annie Beverly, negro woman, for the recovery of rosary which Mrs. McEvey lost sev- eral years ago.
 The beads were a present to Mrs. Me Evoy from the late Rev. Father OReilly, and she valued them for the sentiment at tached to the gift. She declared she lost the rosary several years ago. and was overjoyed one day at seeing it worn by the Beverly woman as an ornament The negress refused to part with the trinket. however, and Mrs. McEvoy resorted to Recorder Feagins court. The case being dismissed by the recorder, Mrs. McEyoy took out a writ of detinue against the Beverly woman fin the inferior court, with the result of yesterdays decision.
 It seems that the negress was merely the finder of the beads and was guilty of no criminal action. She was loath to part with them, however, and the rightful owner was forced to proceed to the extent of the law in order to recover them The material value of the rosary is not more than dollar or two

HARD TO PLEASE Regarding the Morning Cup

"Oh how hard 1t was to part with cof- fee. but the continued trouble with con- situation and belching was such that finally brought myself to leave 1t off.
 ."Then the question was, what should we use for the morning drink? Tea was worse for us than coffee; chocolate and cocoa were soon tired of; milk was not liked very well, and hot water we could not endure.
 About two years ago we struck upon Postum and have never been without 1t since.
 we have seven children. Our baby, now eighteen months old, would not take milk, so we tried Postum ana found she liked it and 1t agreed with her perfectly. She is today, and has been, one of the healthiest babies in the state.
 q use about two thirds Postum and third milk and teaspoon of sugar, and put it into her bottle. If you could have seen her eyes sparkle and hear her say "good' today when I gave 1t to her. you would believe me that she likes 1t.
 .'If I was matron of an infants home, every child would be raised on Postum. Many of my friends say, You are look ing so wellv reply, I am well; drink Postum I have no more trouble with constipation, and know that l owe my good health to God and Postum.'

ATLANTA MAN HERE TO STUDY CHAMBER
IS SURPRISED TO FIND ANOTHER EQUALLY IMPORTANT MOVEMENT STARTING IN BIRMINGHAM-HE TALKS ABOUT HIS VISIT

Walter c. Cooper. secretary of the Att lanta chamber of commerce, made fly ing trip to Birmingham yesterday to study the local chambers building cam paign which resulted in the erection of the finest commercial home In the south.
 Mr. Cooper was surprised to find Bir- mingham about to launch another move ment, equally as important, the estab- lishment of a continual fund of $25000 annually to support the work of the chamber.
 T came,' said MT. Cooper, ito find how you built your building. I thought that had exhausted you, but I find that Birmingham is still setting a pace, and is adopting the most improved methods. heartily approve of the campaign which you are about to begin, for 1t shows you that you are right up-to-date.
 "I have not visited Birmingham for IS years, and you may imagine my aston ishment when I was shown over the district by MT. Babb today. We Visited Ensley, Corey and the residential section, and had lunch at the Southern club.
 II have enjoyed the hospitality and am certainly delighted with Birmingham.

CAPT. PRICE IS ON
 MAJ. SMITHS STAFF

Capt. Cliff S. Price has been appointed adiutant on the staff of Maj. J. Q. smith of the First Field artillery, A. N. G. Cap tain Price is one of the best known mili- tary men In the state and has an enviable record. He has the distinction of having held A commission in all branches of the service except the signal corps. He served in the Spanish-American war as pri- yate. AS a member of Troop D, First cavalry squadron, he rose from the ranks to captain, a position he filled with much distinction He was later appointed ad- tutant on Major Noble's stan, resigning to accept. the captaincy of Company K. an infantry company of which he was formerly member. He was elected a second time to command Troop D, but re- signed for business reasons. He has re- ceived his commission as captain adjutant of the First Field artillery, and will at- tend the encampment at Chickamauga. Captain Price has always held the re- spect and admiration not only of his su- perior officers, but of the rank and file. His soldierly bearing and never-failing courtesy always commanded the respect of his comrades who on many occasions have shown their appreciation by se-
 lecting him as their commanding of ficer. He will prove quite an addition to the stan of Major Smith.

 Chairman Cox proposes to furnish the petition. We will get busy immedi- ately" he said yesterday, and in q very short time will have the ma jority of property owners on each block signed up. The change should be made on Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, and on First and Second ave- nues.
 "The Board of Trade has led in this fight, and is now ready to drive the last spike. I am glad to hear that the question will be acted on favorably by the council"
 Among the aldermen R. D. Burnett is one of the most enthusiastic sup porters of the change. We people on First avenue are suffering from the removal of the center of trade" he said and something must be done inn mediately to stop 1t.

CAUSING
 REIGN OF TERROR
 ON RED MOUNTAIN Two Negroes Held Up and Robbed Last Night on the
 Green Springs Road THAT SECTION AROUSED BY THE DEPREDATIONS Dops Follow Trail for About n Quarter of n NiIe-Numerous People Are
 Held Up During the Past
 Few Days

Large tall, broad face with sharp features yellow skinned"
 This is the only description or the negro highwayman, the boldest in tie Birmingham district for years, who has brought about a reign of terror on Red mountain and throughout the imme- diate communities lying south of bil- mingham.
 Again last night about 8 o'clock he held up two negroes on the Green Springs road, close to Green Springs, and took $15 from them at the point of reyolvers. The names of the ne- groes who were held up were never learned A white man called up tie sherins office and notified the officers of the hold-up.
 Sheriff Higdon immediately sent Dep uty Sheriffs Steel and Chew to the scene in an automobile with blood hounds. Both dogs and deputies were baffled by the willy highwayman' ana returned to town late last night wlth the mystery of the "Red mountain highwayman" unsolved.
 Sheriff Higdon said that seldom in the history OI Dliliih 6he'i A
 been as bold and shrewd gang or road bandits as the present gang Who with their yellow negro leader at thelr head. are so successfully operating In the Red mountain district and hololhs the country in a reign or terror. III spite of officers of the law; Ill spite of trained dogs; in the very facc or a community that Is up in arms ana constantly on the alert, the band'.a continue their depredations as cool ana clever as the professionals which they are. They have committed over dozen highway robberies in the last feW oays and every time have so completely eluded the officers of the law that they are as far from capture as ever.
 Several men have been caught aho locked up who, at the time, were sup. posed to be members of the gang. put the hold-ups continue as if nothing nad happened, each one increasing III i'' boldness and daring.
 The robbery last night was commit ted at a place where bridge crosses the road AS the two negroes crossed the bridge the bandits jumped out of some bushes at the side Of the road and covered the negroes With plstois. After they had ransacked the victims. pockets they fled up an old unused ditch and made their escape into the woods on Red mountain.
 Deputy Sheriff Steel said: "The dogs ran the trail for about quarter of a mile. Then then became confused and could go no further. From de- scriptions of people who talked with the negro victims of the robbery the highwaymen are members of the samo gang which has been committing so many offenses in that community. They are shrewd fellows, but we will get them yet"
 By placing the dogs on the back trail several places were discovered where the robbers had lounged about in the woods before they had commit ted the robbery. It was seen where they had sat on logs in the woods and whittled with their knives.
 The community Is up in arms. Near ly every man of the district where the robbers are operating carries rifle with him wherever he goes.

DECREASE SHOWN
 IN GAR SERVICE
FIRST SIX MONTHS, HOWEVER, SHOW GOOD GAIN OVER SAME MONTHS LAST YEAR-RAILROAD MEN OPTIMISTIC

The Alabama Car Service association handled GA, 295 cars in June of this year as against 66 264 cars in the month of Nay A decrease is shown, as announced sev- eral days ago as probable. of 1869 cars. The decrease is believed to be due to the inactivity of iron merchants who have closed down several furnaces in an effort to decrease stocks, and thus stimu- late the pig iron market. In addition to this feature, the usual midsummer calm Is most pronounced, as this period cuts some figure in the decrease.
 Over the same month of last year the report for June shows an increase of 200 cars handled. June of 1909 reported 47,095 cars handled.
 The total number of. cars handled for the first six months of 1910 Is 406,52S, as against 322. 427 in 1909. Thus an increase is shown over 1909 of s4.09s cars.
 The cars handled by the month are tab ulated and given for the first six months of both 1909 and 1910:
