One of Lies Problems.
It is often more difficult to forget
than It is to remember.
Talent of Success.

The talent of success is nothing
more than doing what you can do we'll,
without a thought of fame. If 1t
comes at all, it will come because 1t
is deserved, not because it is sought
after. 1t is very indiscreet and trou-
blesome ambition which cares so much
about fame, about what the world says
OF US, as to be always looking in the
faces of others for approval, to be al
ways anxious about the effect of what
we do or say, to be always shouting
to hear the echoes of our own voices.

NAMED
 BY PROVIDENCE Woodward Will Probably Be Become President
TO INVESTIGATE TITLES
Statement Is Made That Ga. VIII Re Brought To Birmingham- If Investigation Shows Supply
 To Be Adequate

Although no president was yesterday elected to head the re-organized Provi- dence Oil and Gas company, the vice president and new officers were selected The meeting was held in the company offices in the Brown-Marx building and was fully attended. The election resulf- ed in the follow selections: Harry w Coffin, vice president; Frank J. Rushton treasurer; James l.. Davidson, secretary. Directors: W. H. Woodward, Wilson R, Brown. R. Emmet Collins, H. ". Coffin. F. J. Rushton, and H. w. Davis of Will mngton, Del.
 The selection of MT. Woodward as a di rector of the company means, according to some wel-informed men, that MT. Woodward will fill the post of president when he returns to Birmingham and is well informed of the conditions of the company.
 In addition to the selection of the new officers the directors gave contract to the Peoples Natural Gas company to furnish Tuscaloosa and Columbus, Miss. with natural gas from the Fayette fields provided the gas exists as claimed at Fayette.
 The meeting, from all accounts. was perfectly harmonious, and every election was made without argument.
 It was given out following the meeting that expert accountants would go over the books of the company at once to as- certain the exact condition of the com pany. Following this, attorneys will see if the titles to the Fayette fields are prop erly held by the Providence company. In the event they are, then boring will commence to extend operations
 It was officially stated last night that if additional boring brought a sufficient supply of gas to make 1t a safe invest ment to build a pipe line to this city then the present owners would put up the money and start to work Until they are thoroughly convinced of the adeouate supply nothing looking to bringing Nle gas here will be done by the Providence company
 The stock of the Providence company was inactive yesterday. Prices remained stationery with no increase on the stock exchange. However outside traders passed a quantity of the stock, accord ing to the general report, at prices esti- mated at 20 for the maximum with 1s as the minimum

THREE MEN KILLED IN BANNER MINE
 f Bituroinite Was Being Pre- pared for Shots
 NO GAS FOUND IN MINE
  Bituminite Rarely Explodes Premas
NO dAs FOUND IN MINE
Bituminite Rarely Explodes Prema. tureIy and the Exact Cause of Yes- terday's Accident VIII Prob
 ably Never He Known

By an explosion of bituminite which was being prepared to shoot some coal in Banner mines yesterday at II o'clock three men were killed in stantly.
 The explosion affected only small space where the explosive was being prepared, and the only three men in the little room to the left of the seventh entry were killed. They were:
 John Woodman. shot flrer at Banneri white.
 Two negro convicts, Mims McDanieI of Barbour county, and John Tate, sent. up from Jefferson county
 The mine wherein the accident oc- cured Is operated by the Pratt Cons solidated Coal company and is mined by convicts. The company officers here gave out an official statement rela- tive to the accident in which 1t was said that 20 sticks of bltuminite were in the room being prepared by Wood man when 1t is supposed cap fell to the floor, exploding the charge The men were torn to pieces and never knew what killed them. One of tha convicts was assisting in preparing the charges, while 1t Is presumed the oth- CT man came to the room to get tho hrer to shoot his coal.
 The officers state that the mine wak in first-class condition and free from any gas or dust. This theory is borne, out by the fact that no subsequent explosion or fire followed the heavy, explosion. The mine inspectors effic4 was notified and Chief Inspector Hil1>l house left for the scene.
 He communicated with Birmingham last night and requested that 1t be an- the mine and that the explosion did not result from this cause
 A singular feature of tho accident is the fact that the explosive which killed the three men is authorized by the bureau of mines of the United States government and has seldom been known to explode prematurely. While 1t Is stated there are certain conditions which will explode bitum- mite there are ordinary causes which will cause 1t to go of.
 It will never be known what caused the explosion In Banner mines yester- day.
 In view of this fact experts from. the bureau of mines will probably be | sent here to look into the matter The men killed will be buried at Banner tomorrow by the company The offs cers express their regret oyer the ac- cident but state that every precaution was thrown around the men to protect tn hem.

GREENFIELD RETURNS TO REMAIN A WEEK
LONDON MAN CAN ADD NOTHING TO WHAT HE HAS ALREADY SAID PROJECT

For the ostensible purpose of conferring sloss and Republic companies. Cecil Grenfel of London, heavily interested in the Southern Iron and Steel company. reached Birmingham yesterday. He was accompanied by Otto Marx and James Bowron, who have been in New York for the past ten days, talking over the fu- ture of the Southern Iron and Steel com pany.
 MT. Grenfell would not state yesterday that his visit here was for the purpose of holding conference with anyone, but said he and John A. Topping of the Re public company were old friends and he would probably see him in Birmingham today.
 MT. Grenfell said so far as he knew the negotiations for an industrial mergN here had not progressed any further than when he was here several weeks ago. He reaffirmed his attitude toward the ru- mored merger by saying that such was a consummation to be wished, but that he could not give any facts which would
  support the impression that merger is to take place.
 He stated that the companies mentioned would be much benefited by getting to- eether. Further than this the noted Englishman would not go MT. Grenfell said he would be here week, during which time he would be engaged in vari- ous talks with prominent industrial men. He said they were working on a merger and hoped 1t would go through
 Business Is very good" said Mir. Crenfell. However. pig iron seems to have been overproduced, while the de- mand has not met the rapid increase. For that reason quite a few industrial concerns are worried about the prevailing prices. Our properties are in the fittest shape, while our steel mill cannot be beaten. The future, think, is decidedly bright

 To the drafts 1t is alleged, would be attached bills of lading for shipments of cotton purporting to have been Issued by railroad freight agents of Decatur and Selma. On the strength of these bills the drafts were readily negotiated in New York by Van Gerpen.
