IF HOUSTON IS BUSY. TALK WITH A. L. JAGoE.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-11-28

This morning Mayor Harry Jones will assume the reins of government of the city of Birmingham. and will be the first President of the City Council to assume control of that private sanctorum, floor covered with Brussels, and with rosewood furniture, which Mayor Gull pepper Exum has established at the city hall. Mayor Exum will be in the east for several days.
 The return of MT. Jones recalls the good old democratic days when the re- porters owned the Mayors office propped their feet on the table, and spat tobac- co juice on the floor; when the wide folding doors were always open, and what couldn't be found in the pigeon holes of the secretary's desk could easily be read over the Mayors shoulder when that aristocratic name, executive ses- sion," had not been coined.
 Those were great days. If the public had to be enlightened on some important subject, the reporter absorbed it in the course of the afternoon and went to

Muddy and worn, the Regal Plugger, whose speedometer probably reads into higher figures than any other automobile in the world for continuous trips, A,472 miles, reached Birmingham yesterday, driven by Harry W. Anderson and George Sherard.
 This is the car which carried the American flag first across~the continent from New York to San Francisco, which made a circle of 5000 miles through the east, and is now returning to Norfolk, Va, having more than half completed an all-southern tour of 5000 miles. The plug ger still carries the colors, which are worn and tattered, and the machine Is literally covered with tags and cards which have been pinned on at various cities throughout the country.
 Southern Manager Anderson, who has accompanied the car through the south ern states, is one of the best authorities

NEW DEVELOPER
 IN GAS FIELDS
BURG GAS AND OIL MAN, IS IN BIRMINGHAM LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITIES OF FAYETTE

For the purpose of entering the gas and oil fields of Fayette county and assist ing in their development. P. M. shan ron, one of the best known and wealth. fest gas men of Pittsburg came to Bir- mingham yesterday He came direct from Mobile, where he has been for several days.
 MT. Shannon was here several months ago just after the discoveries at Fay cite were made, and at that time said he would investigate the fields, and if they disclosed any possible chance of profit he would probably enter the fields. He stated yesterday unreservedly that he would not make any steps toward drilling until d sufficient acreage had been secured, and their titles properly vested in his company.
 It is understood that Mir Shannon de- sires to control at least 150O00 acres ot prospective oil and gas lands before he enters into any drilling for these com modities. It was stated yesterday that Mir Shannon was endeavoring to secure that much acreage through l.. J. Mus grove of Jasper and others in that sec ton, who, it is understood, have oil and gas acreage for sale.
 MT. Shannon, who is an expert in oil and gas developments, said the wells at Fnyette looked very encouraging, and If natural gas was brought to Birming- ham everything here would boom. How ever, he stated that 1t was impossible to secure any financial aid for any pipe lines until the fields have been thorough ly developed and the supply found to be sufficient to last for profit-making pe- riod.
 MT. Shannon was in conference here yesterday with some parties interested in the development of the Fayette gas and oil fields.
 All the companies, irrespective of sell fish interest, desire the entrance here of MT Shannon. as they believe his knowl- edge and experience in various dvelop- ments of such productive centers will be of untold value to the Fayette fields and to Birmingham

He had loving nature that disclosed it. self In it's universal tenderness and sym pathy. He was a godly man, full of faith and the Holy Ghost He will be sadly missed in the community where for so many years he had been ad istinguished minister"
 Rev. L. c. Branscomb, pastor of the First Methodist church, gave the fol- lowing expression: "Dr. Handley led the closing prayer at the union Thanks giving services at the First Methodist church last Thursday morning. His face shone like light and his great and beau tiful prayer was a fitting close to such beautiful life.
 He was honored and loved by men of all creeds. Saint and sinner, Jew and Gentle looked upon him as one of the Lords anointed. Such men never die. 
 Their echoes roll from soul to soul, And grow forever and forever"

The mag nitude of the improvement which the opening of this new station and the tunnel system puts into use, and the extreme care which is being exercised for the protection of passengers, Is shown in the fact that a private fire department of 30 men has been organ ized and placed in charge of a fire pro- tection plant, installed at great expense after the most careful study despite the fact that the station building and the material used in the tunnel are what would generally be considered ab- solutely fireproof Although the day of the opening of this station will be remembered as most important date in the history of passenger transporta- tion in this country, the inauguration was not accompanied by any formal ceremonies, but the station was thronged throughout the day, not only with passengers arriving and depart-
