BRICK CEILING co. OPENS
 OFFICE IN EMPIRE auIl DING

Birmingham is rapidly becoming the distributing point for manufacturers and wholesale dealers In various lines.
 The Brick Selling company, a new con- cern with L. l.. Stephenson as president. has opened a handsome office at BOT Empire building, where they will sell a high-grade line of shale and clay brick at wholesale only.
 Since opening this office here Janu- ary this company has already received several large orders for brick which are being shipped out promptly. This one feature alone will make this com pany a success from the start.
 In patronizing this concern you will get quality and quantity at the lowest price possible direct from the mAnufAc- turers who make and sell nothing but brick.

Stock Law Obnoxious.

A petition was circulated among the citizens of Ensley and freely signed pro- testing against the stock law as applied to the city of Birmingham. Under the Ensley ordinance cows were allowed to run at large during the day but were re- quired to be penned up at night. The en- forcement of the law, 1t Is claimed, will work hardship among the residents of the outlying territory as the stock can range without any disadvantage to any one, and to require them to be taken up at night is arousing considerable an- tagonism.
 There is much difference between Third Avenue, Birmingham, and Avenue A, Wy lam, and it seems to be an imposition to require the authorities to enforce the Bir- mingham ordinance relating to stock running at large.

Ills election was freely predicted three weeks ago and had an effort not been made to elect an attorney to the position he would have had no opposition. His op- ponent, E. G. Moore, is one of the most popular members of the late Ensley ad- ministration.

 c. o. Beal, local barber, was frus- trated in an attempt at suicide about noon today at the home of c. R. Segrest, by the timely arrival of officers who had been notified of his expressed in- tention. Financial troubles is supposed to be the cause for the attempt.
 Calhoun County Taxes.
 According to the books of Tax Collector B. F. Montgomery, the sum of S75,857. F has been paid into the general tax fund up to tho close of business on the last day of the old year. The sum of $45.- 657.n has been forward to the state treas urer and t30,Oo0 has been retained as Calhoun countys share. The total of poll taxes paid into that fund to date runs up to $1449 and it is believed that by the time the books for the payment of this tax are closed the sum will be a great deal larger.

 Dr. J. w. Stagg. prenident of the Ala bama Presbyterian college here, broke out today in an altogether new and unexpected place and his experience as provider for a husky bunch of young men and an old mule was no doubt the cause 'I have an old mule up at the college" said Dr. Stagg, and when I went to buy his provender this morning I told the feed man that had about como to the conclusion that 1t will be cheaper to let the old mule die than to continue to feed him. In . few years more, I fear, shall be debating the same question in regard to my students unless there Is decrease in prices and a general economic readjustment. You mark my word. The revolution of the twentieth century will be one of bread. That is, the food demand will be the causus belli."

A PREMIUM ON LYING.

From present indications thirty
Russian Jewish refugees are in i'm
minent danger of deportation The
hapless plight of this class of immi-
grafton must cause thoughtful men
to ponder before executing the full
penalty of the law on fugitives from
persecution. The fact that vouch-
safed the truthful information that
they were sufficiently circumspect to
inquire into their chances of making
a living in an unknown land, should
prove point in their favor. Had
they been "slick" or sophisticated, the
fact of obtaining information or assist
ance could have been easily suppress
ed and their entrance assured. Depor-
tation will prove a bad precedent and
make future immigrants most wary of
telling the truth. ! The Jewish immi-
grant is not such an unsafe PROPOSE
ton as many in authority would have
us believe.

it to is the reverence which they have
for DR., Cohen and the lack of respect
or sympathy they have for their nome

We are sure no Jew in Houston en-
vies DR.. Cohen the esteem in which
he is held here and over the entire

the other should not exist to such an
extent that we should require the SER
