MEN
 TO VISIT CITY

1t was announced yesterday in Bir- mngham that the entire force of com- mercial agents and those of the solicit ing departments of the Queen and Cres- cent route will be in Birmingham Decem- Der 1 and for the purpose of being shown the Birmingham district
 The officers are inaugurating their first annual trip over the system for the pull pose of familarizing themselves with all the various stations on the line.
 A great many of them have never been in Birmingham, while a large majority of the Alabama Great Southern railroad men have little information regarding ths vastness of the Birmingham district. It is the desire of T. C. Powell, vice presi- dent of the system to have his officers well informed of every station, and as Birmingham has grown so rapidly he thinks the entire force should be shown this city for two days.
 The officers will arrive in this city on q special train accompanied by several officers of the executive departments. semer in automobiles and given every opportunity of seeing Birmingham in all it's advancement.
 The trip to this city has attached to 1t more than ordinary interest. The of ficers coming here will number about 100.

AUTOS COLLIDE
 BUT NONE HURT

Six people had a narrow escape from a serious acicdent yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock at Burgins station, on South lInsley car line, when the automobile of Dr. J. H. Terrell of Noodlawn. driven by the owner, in company with his wife and little child and mother-in-l law. Mrs. Ed wards, collided head on with the car of Dr. J. D. Heacock of Norwood, in which were the owner and Dr. Lester.
 It is understood that Dr Heaeoek was slowing up just as he approached Bur gins station, where he had been called, when he saw the machine driven by pr. Terrell coming from the opposite direc- tion on the same side of the street di- rectly toward his car. He turned tho corner of the block which he had reached in the attempt. to avoid contact with Dr. Frerrell's machine. which somehow. swerving in the same direction rammed the machine of the former broadside. There was a fearful crash from the im- pact. but no one was hurt further than a bad shake-up. though both machines were demolished.
 Dr. Terrell is said to have crossed to the left side of the street in passing wagon. and happened to the accident before he could cross back to the right side.

SUIT OF DEMURRAGE
 ON CARS COMES UP

Little progress was made yesterday in the trial of the suit of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company vs. the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, in which the payment of demurrage on detained cars Is involved.
 Headings were resumed in the case yes- terday morning, but no witnesses were placed on the stand yesterday. Court adjourned shortly after 3 o'clock in or der that the opposing counsel in the case may agree upon the settlement of many minor points to be considered
 The suit is on trial in the first division of the city court Judge c. c. Nesm.h presiding. It is expected that the first witnesses in the case will be called to the stand today
 Attorneys representing the Southern, Frisco and other railroads are aiding Till man. Bradley and Morrow for the Louis- vile and Nashville, as the present trial will probably be made a test case to de- eide whether the Tennessee company shall pay demurrage on large num- Der of cars belonging to railroads that have been run over the Birmingham Southern railroad.
 It is claimed by the compliments that the Tennessee company is liable for pay ment of demurrage on the cars because, 1t is alleged. that company controls and virtually owus the Birmingham South ern. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are involved in all the suits pending against the Tennessee company because of the matter.
