WYLAM CITIZENS
 ENTER 4 PROTEST Want no Street of Cinders and
 Coal Dust
IN ENSLEY
R. l.. Daniels Retires From Race for Recorder-Wylam Revival Prov ing of Great Interest-News
 of the Steel City

The mass meeting called last night by the citizens of Wylam to protest against the paving of the streets with cinders and coal slack was well attended and resolutions were passed in reference to the practice.
 N. B. Steck was elected chairman and w. J. Stacey secretary. There were fully 200 citizens present. A resolution was passed asking that the street de- partment be stopped from using cinders and coal dust on the streets, and that the city authorities be requested to take up that which has already been laid.
 Previous to the passage of the resolu- tion a number of short speeches were made, in which the speakers condemned in vigorous terms the action of the street department in this matter It was claimed by the speakers that the dust and filth from the new paving was in- tolerable, and that the health of the city was endangered by the present condi- tion of the streets as fixed by the street department. Another resolution was adopted asking that the city au- thorities carry out the terms of the con- solidation agreement between Ensley and Wylam, and that the promised boulevard joining the two cities and running through be completed. The chairman appointed a committee to confer with the street committee of Birmingham on these matters.

The Birmingham Hebrew school, es- tablished in connection with the 1x'Nesseth Israel congregation, opened its first term yesterday afternoon. The school will be in session daily, ex- cept Saturday. from until 6 o'clock, Jewish children between the ages of ' and 16 being admitted. A Sunday ses- sion will be held on that day from 9:SO a. m. until noon.

The enrolment yes terday was large and it is expected that more Jewish parents will send their children when the school and it's work have become better known.
 Rabbi Julius T. Loeb of the K'Nes- seth Israel congregation is principal of the school and will give it's oper- Blumberg of Syracuse, N. r., will be head teacher at the school and instruct or in Hebrew.

of the village and the ehureh-the ring manager, the riders, the clown, and even Hasty and Mandy Jones, the colored ser wants. were all on hand as last season, and pleased as then.
 Tie story is well known in Birming- ham. It weaves itself about the love of a minister, John Douglas, and Polly, a circus rider, which love survives the in terferenee of the deacons and others who are laborers in the vineyard of the Lord though, this consummation does not oe- cur without heartaches and tears.
 The play Is well mounted, and in the third act an entire ring of circus is presented, with bareback riders, wire walkers, balancers, clown and ring mas ter. A very effective scene is the last, in the third act, when, under dim moon, far in the distance the wagons of the cir GUS can be seen in miniature, winding their way over the hill, leaving behind, in the arms of her lover, Polly of the circus.
 Were all the congregations of the world to master the lesson of Polly of the Circus" and were all the representatives of the God of Israel, John Douglas-an- other golden age of breadth of mind and character, of charity, without hypocrisy would have a glorious dawning.

GOVERN MENT WILL
 SOON FILE ANSWER
sTREET SAYS EVERY EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO BRING GROCERS' ASSOCIATION SUIT TO AN IS- SUE.

It was announced yesterday after noon by o. D. Street, United States dis trict attorney. that the government $ reply to the answer of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association which was made several days ago by Gen. Luke E. Wright in the dissolution case would be made within a few days.
 "The answer of the government to the one filed by the Southern Whole sale Grocers association Is now be- ing prepared" said MT. Street. We have until October 1 to force the case to an issue and must file our answer by that time. We will cover fully every point involved in the case and intend to push the government disso- lution case to the utmost When the answer of the government is filed the case will be at an issue and mo- tion will be made by the government for the appointment of commissioner or examiner to take testimony in re- gard to the case. When this is done the hearing will open and everything will be invoked that will get the case in motion.
 T can only say in reference to the Clabaugh suit that the result in that case will have nothing whatever to do with the action of the government in the dissolution case"
 MT. Street was in Birmingham yes- terday to confer with some postoffice inspectors in regard to several arrests that are about to occur in the state. He stated that although great amount of work had been outlined for the de- partment of justice this fall every ef- fort would be made to dispatch the bus mess.

w. G. Little of Livingston spent yes- terday in Birmingham on business He is one of the most progressive farmers and cattle growers in Sumter county. His farm lies near the town of Liv- ingston and has the, advantage of the two distinct types of soil that exist in that county.
 The line between the sandy soil or south Sumter and the black line OF north Sumter runs through MT. Lit tle's farm. The black land will grow alfalfa while the sandy land will not without expert treatment with lime.
 Mr. Little raises cattle and is mak- ing a success of the industry.
 Alabama can raise as fine cattle the proper care," he said "It takes brains and a little courage to under take the business, but no more than growing cotton. I believe 1t takes greater courage to attempt the grow ing of cotton than raising cattle.
 There is always sure market at a good price for good cattle and they are not as susceptible to damage from climate and other unpreventable ca lamities. Then again cattle improve land more than any other agency that csn be applied"

 France has proved said Major Mott today, that the aeroplane in competent hands is worth a thousand men for scout ing purposes in war. Conditions will be profoundly modified by the advent of a fourth arm !"
