EXPECTS REPUBLICANS
TO MAKE POOR SHOWING

1.-THE thought that has occupied my
attention most today is the plans be-
ing outlined everlastingly to wallop the
republican ticket at the election to be
held in November" said J. Fred Staley,
who will have charge of the speak
ers' bureau for the state democratic
party.
I'VE will have speakers in every
hamlet in this state and they will GER
tainly point out the shortcomings of
the great majority of officeholders un-
der the national administration. The
undesirable part of the state campaign
for the republicans is that the demo-
Gratis have the majority of votes. Ma
tionally they seem to have us lit
tie bested.
II have no idea that our friend, Mr..
Thompson, will make any sort of
showing. 1t is hopeless task and
one that is thankless. To my way of
thinking it is pretty difficult to mis-
lead the present occupant of the White
House and the operator of the steam
roller-same being Frank H. Hitchcock
therefore they cannot get any large
sum of money for the Alabama cam
paign cannot influence even the old
timers of their crowd and by all the
rules of correct thinking and politics
they have not a chance. The result
is certainly going to be shock to OPP
timistic republicans"

WESTERN UNION
MEN MEET HERE
Managers for Several Southern Cities
Meet Superintendent Williams In
Birmingham for Conference

The managers of Western Union tele-
graph offices in several southern cities
met in Birmingham yesterday and held
a conference with Ed e. Williams, who
was for several years district manager of
the company In Birmingham, but who is
now commercial superintendent.
The meeting was presided over by Mr..
Williams. Many topics touching the SER
vice of the Western Union were discussed.
1t is planned to make many improvements
in the service in the southern states.
After the meeting was adjourned the
managers left Immediately for their
homes.
Mr.. Williams, when requested for q
statement In regard to the meeting, had
this to say:
Birmingham is SO centrally located as
to railroad facilities that we decided to
have a meeting here today Those attend
ing were managers from several offices.
we discussed the business of our COM
pany in this section and talked over many
plans that we have under consideration
for improving the service. We are not
at liberty to make those plans known just
yet for the reason that higher officers
must approve them before we can place
our plans in operation. l am at liberty
to state, however, in general way, that
we hope to map out some plans to i'm
prove the local service. We cannot do this
in a day We will continually be on the
alert to improve every detail of our SER
vice."

CONDUCTORS PLACE
THEMSELVES IN DANGER

IT have been trying to figure out
a way to keep from injuring some
street car men, but 1 think it is i'm
possible without the help of Presiden.
Ford of the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company or the City
Council" said S. Lawrence Smith,
well known automobile dealer.
The danger lies in this: When.
car stops at crossing the automobiles
are required by every law in the city
and state to run to the right always
That is all well and good. But when
the cars stop the conductor comes out
to flag the crossing. He never fails
to open a small sliding door to the
strike one, and I certainly hope not
right in front of the passing automo-
bile. If the car is proceeding one
way and an automobile the other, the
danger of striking the conductor needs
no elaboration. 1t is simply impossible
to keep from striking unless more than
tomobile man. While l may never
strike one, and I certainly hoop not,
at the same time the city is overrun
with negroes who drive and who are
none too careful. Also we have many
white boys that have not stopped to
figure out this matter and who also
drive pretty fast at times. 1t is only
a question of time until some automo-
bile will strike one of the employees
and then hue and cry will be raised
that heartless sutomobilist has killed
a perfectly innocent man."

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR COAL TRADE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC PLACES ORDER
FOR 100000 TONS WITH GALLO
WAY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DISCUS
SEES CONDITIONS IN DISTRICT

An order for 100000 tons of coal in
addition to the order placed last week
for $4,000 tons was given the Gallo
way Coal company Saturday by the
Southern Pacific railroad This order
runs the total for the Southern Pacific
up to 225,000 tons of coal placed in the
Birmingham district. The last 100000 tons
will be shipped to New Orleans and used
from that point, while the other coal will
go to Houston, Tex. The first order Of
125,000 was placed with the Pratt Con-
solidated Coal company.
The entrance Of the Southern Pacific
railroad into the Birmingham field for
coal WIS not precipitated wholly by the
strike out west. but Is in recognition
Of the desirability of the local product.
In speaking of the general coal situa-
ton yesterday and of the outlook in
this district industrially, NJ. d. Roger,
assistant general manager Of the Gallo
way Coal company said:
II do not think Birmingham ever faced
a season so full of promise as this one.
The contracts for coal placed locally have
been liberal and very much larger than
formerly. In addition to renewals 1t has
been pointed out that absolutely new bus
mess has come to this district which has
in the past been going elsewhere Our
company has fine list of orders to &C.
cupy our time and energy and so have
the greater part of other mines in this
district. Taking into consideration every
thing In the district do not think bus
mess was ever so promising. If only a
few strong points could be added to
the iron market I believe this district
would bound ahead at new and surpris-
ing rate. Although the iron market is
not so very encouraging l have every
hope that the next 80 days will bring a
turn which will start us on a fine, strong
Autumn wave"

SUIT WILL NOT STOP
GALLOWAY PLANS

The Galloway Coal company. which
has been made defendant in a case
in the United States court involving
some coal lands in the Blocton field,
has engaged Attorneys Tillman, Brad
ley & Morrow to look after tn cir inter-
ests. The company is to defend an
action brought by the st. Louis Trust
company for the heirs to the Mudd
estate who claim that certain royal
ties have not been Forthcoming for the
leased lands.
1t was given out yesterday by an Of
ficer of the company that the suit is
rot taken very seriously by the COM
pany and they believe the courts will
sustain them In the case So firmly
are the company officers convinced of
this that the newly planned work in
the Blocton field will be pushed for
ward as if nothing had occurred. II
Is planned to spend about $4,000 on
4, the property for a new coal washer,
and the opening of a new mine. This
work was announced as auth orized by
Cyrus Garnsey, general manager of the
company. The work Will not be en-
dangered by the suits that have been
filed against the lessee of the land.
Jones Moore, who is now with the
Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron company,
and who was named as respondent in
the case, said yesterday that he was
not connected in the suit except in
an indirect way.
Il have not taken much interest In
the matter and cannot talk intelligent
ly of the case" said Mr.. Moore II do
not anticipate much trouble over the
affair. AS to what the Galloway Coal
company may do 1 cannot say"

EXPERTS TO HAVE
CHARGE AT FAIR

The fair association is congratulating
itself on accomplishing this year the
unique feat of obtaining an expert to
head and supervise each department of
the state fair. Not infrequently 1t
is difficult for a fair to secure the
services of such men as 1t needs for
department superintendents, but at last
the Alabama State Fair has reach ed
that goal. AT least SO Preside nt Hol-
combe and Secretary Chaffee boast.
In Capt. Reuben T. Kolb, NOMINEES
for commissioner of agriculture, there
can be no question but that an expert
has been secured. His former service
as commissioner of agriculture fits him
for the place even If his accurate
knowledge of farming does not. He
knows his work and the farmers and
agricultural exhibitors will rest as
sured that their work will be we'll
taken care Of at the fair.
w. L. Mathews, who heads the de-
partment of live stock, has been a
practical dairyman and stock breeder
in the near vicinity of Birmingham for
the past 26 years. He has exhibited
at worlds fairs and at Chicago in
1898 he had the largest exhibit. of
Jersey mixers. He gained a worlds
record for Alabama and for Birming-
nam there.
NJ c. Algood is superintendent of the
swine department and the other de-
partments will be equally well handled
by men who know their business.
