NEW YARDS MEAN
| BETTER SERVICE
THOMAS WILL HAVE MUCH BET
TER AND LARGER QUARTERS TO
HANDLE THE BUSINESS

That the removal of the three railroads
the Illinois Central, Frisco and Contra
of Georgia-to East Thomas will very
materially improve the service in freight
deliveries and give better facilities tc
shippers was the general opinion of those
operating officers here yesterday attend
ing the meeting in regard to the removal
October /.
General Superintendent Chandler of the
Central of Georgia said the freight ser
vice on all three of the railroads would
be greatly improved by the change. He
said shippers would secure quicker de-
llveries and that the interchange deliv-
cries on all lines affected would be bet
ter.
THE companies will have great deal
more room," said Mr.. Chandler, land
will not be continually on the lookout
for crossings. The lines will be out In
large yard by themselves and will have
plenty of chance to make up time and
dispatch business. There is no doubt but
that this move will result in greatly I'M
proved service to all those who deal with
the railroads. -
1.-THE companies are just as anxious to
relieve any APPARENT grade crossing dan
gers as the people or the city officers.
MANY of these sources of annoyance will
be almost completely swept away by the
removal of these lines to their new
place"
The opinion of Mr. Chandler seemed
to be agreed to by almost all of the OPP
Grating Officers. The expression of A. d
Llghtner, general agent Of the Frisco
was along the same line. He added,
however, that his company and the en-
ployes were very glad of the removal, as
it would effectively place ban upon
small accidents that are continually oc-
curing In the present cramped quarters
OF the Frisco.
The conference of officers in the oper-
atinr departments of the Central OF
Georgia. Illinois Central and Frisco rail-
roads in regard to the opening of the
Yards at East Thomas was completed
Yesterday at noon
The last session of the officers devel-
oped little of general interest The ad-
vice of General Superintendent Chft was
received and taken In regard to some de-
tails which had been held up pending his
arrival in Birmingham.
The officers worked out the number or
men to be employed, and the salaries 10
he paid those men. 1t was agreed by all
interests that the railroads would pre-
pare to move and actually effect the re-
moval october !.
The officers who have been engaged In
the deliberations were very much pleasea
with the outcome. So far as was made
known. no difference of opinion was per-
mitted to pass without settlement. The
officers seemed-to realize that every ef-
fort should be made to enter the new
work undr a cordial agreement and every
point was smoothed over to insure the
most agreeable feeling.
When the meeting was concluded the
various officers left for their homes.
They were in conference about Is work
ing hours, and handled In that time per-
hans more details than ever faced by 2
meeting of railroad men in Birmingham.

Mason NunnelIy Befriends William
Connolly Ten Years Aga When He
Was Despondent and In
Bad Health

A case of the ultimate return of bread
cast upon the waters was brought to light
yesterday when the last will and testa-,
ment of William Connolly was filed in.
the probate court. Connolly, an aged
gentleman, who died last Tuesday, left
all his property, real and personal, to-
Manson Nunnelley, the well-known inside

came acquainted with Warden Nunnelcy,
as stated. when he was in bad health
and apparently without means or friends.
Mr.. Nunnelley at the time kept a ROOM
ing house on Second avenue. and invited
the old gentleman to make his home
there until he should improve In health
and means. Connolly did so, and had
made Mr.. Nunnelley's home his home DUR
ing the 10 years since.
Mr.. Connolly was an expert mechanic
and man of saving habits, being en-
ployed for several years as chief mechanic
at the state asylum for the blind at Tall
ladega. He died possessed of thousand
or more dollars deposited in Birmingham
and Talladega banks, a good deal of real
estate of more or less value, and. what
may be of more Importance, a good many,
shares of stocks In mines out west. In
accordance with his wishes, he was buried
at Albertvile. why're several members
of Mr.. Nunnelley's family are buried.
Mr.. Nunnelley states that the old gen.
tleman had not a relative in thss ,Ra01lu
and said he had not had a home

met Mr. Nunnelley.
And Mr.. Nunnelley is all the n
grateful for the bequest because it cd
so unsought and unexpected.

More Inquiries Received

Quite a few inquiries were received in
the Birmingham field yesterday for Iron.
Purchases are being made now with more
or less freedom, and the spirit of lethargy
that prevailed some weeks past is being
slowly swept away. The. Puget Sound
country continues to place orders for
slight tonnages while the general melting
to be preliminary to some orders.
The feeling of discourage that
characterized the dealers during the nat
urally dull summer months has been set
aside and a belief In solid trade condi-
ton is taking a firm hold
The general impression is that condi-
tions are very much better. and that Oc-
tober will open up withsa clean sweep
for iron. The market quotations remain
the same, but IL the opinion of the major
ity materializes advanced quotations will
be made during the first week in Oc-
tOher.

CATCH|NGS COMES
To INSPECT PLANTS
The Central Foundry Receiver
Talks of Conditions
PLEASED WITH BUSINESS
Iron Men Are More and More Inclined
to See Bright Times Ahead md
Inquiries Are Being Received
Nearly Every Day
PLEASED WITH BUSINESS

Waddel Catchings, receiver for the
Central Foundry company, which as
signed February II, was In Birmingham
yesterday looking over the properties
at Bessefner and those at Holt, in Tus-
caloosa county. He stated that the cred
itors committee had been thinking of re-
organizing the company for several
months, but so far as he knew no defin-
lite move had been made in the case.
In discussing the company's affairs gen.
orally, Mr.. Catchings said:
Il have been looking over the proper
ties which l have been appointed to oper-
ate. | can state that we have made
money every week since / have been re-
ceiver, and the cash balance shows very
substantial gain over affairs when the
receiver was appointed. l am always in
the market for foundry iron and melt
from 1000 to $500 tons per week. However.
l cannot verify any rumors that | have
purchased any great tonnage in Brming
ham today. The iron men here know that
/ am always looking out for iron. and
when they have some they wish turned
into money they do not fail to notify me.
The conditions in Birmingham seem to
be very favorable for fine season. We
are refining our furnace at Holt at an
expense of $4,000, and when completed,
if the market justif1es it, we will start
making iron at that point. The other
properties are in frst-class shape. We
have been fairly prosperous since the
first of the year and have little cause
to complain about conditions"
1t was generally understood here yes
terday that Mr.. Catchings purchased
quite a large amount of iron for foun-
dry purposes, while In the city. However
in hts statements no intimation was
given that any iron had been bought yes
terday. Mr.. Catchings called upon many
iron merchants and seemed to be very
much interested in local views upon the
iron situation.
He left last night for Vincennes, Ind,
where the Central Foundry company is
now operating a plant.

duced From the stems and leaves
the fungus spreads to the pods. and
as many are rendered unsightly con.
siderable direct loss is occasioned
The presence of the fungus is often
unnoticed until it appears upon the
young pods. On these it produces
small brown or rusty spots, which en-
large and darken until they become
nearly black. The affected tissues of
the pod dry leaving sunken areas. in
the centers of which may be seen
small pink spots, masses of spores
which rapidly spread the disease
from plant to plant
The spores by which the fungus is
spread from plant to plant are very
sticky when wet and are readily
transferred on the hands, clothing or
implements. On this account beans
should never be cultivated or gath
cred while wet with dew or rain. If
it is too much trouble to observe
these precautions for the whole crop
it could be done with little extra effort
for a small plat on which to grow seed
for future planting.
If the following recommendations
are observed but little loss will result
from anthracnose:
!. Plant seed free from disease.
2. Keep away from the plants while
they are wet
8. Remove and burn diseased
plants as soon as they are observed.

ROADS NEEDED BY FARMERS
Those Leading From Farm to Rail-
road Station and to School House
Most Essential.
CBy HOWARD H. GROSS,

We are constantly seeing exploited
in the newspapers schemes of road
building that ought to be condemned
rather than favored. One wildly ex-
travagant enthusiast urged the build
ing of a boulevard 200 feet wide from
New York to San Francisco; another
a great macadamized highway, con-
Meeting all the state capitals. In Iowa
at this writing there is a great deal
of enthusiasm over road from river
to river, not a first-class permanent
road, but earth roads improved as
much as may be by dragging. A Lin
coin memorial road has been proposed
from Chicago to Springfield The
above are not the highways that the
people need or the roads that should
be built. Why should we tax our
selves to build a speedway from the
Atlantic to the Pacific? Or who would
want to travel from state capital to
state capital over a highway? The
roads that are needed, and the ones
that we should address our efforts
to get are those that lead from the
railway station to the farm home, over
which the food products of the world
pass to reach the market, the doctor
to relieve the suffering, the children
to go to school. These will in due
course be connected up and give us
a network of good roads throughout
the land. These roads will increase
property values, make country life
better worth the living, add to our
joys and diminish our sorrows, and
help to make the farm home so at
tractive the boy and the girl will not
be eager to leave it. 1t will make the
township central school possible
whereby the boys and the girls can
get high school education and live
ct home These considerations are
fundamental and far-reaching, and
well worthy our effort. The writer
has no objection to automobiles nor
does he question their right to use
the highways; but the larger interest
of the whole people is not best served
by building speedways for joy rides.

FARM NOTES.


Any farmer ctn make his farm
model viii sine. planning and work.
Getting along with anything that
VIII do is not making the most of con-
ditions.
With corn, as with animals, do not
forever be mixing and crossing breeds.
by fertilization, cultivation and Sc
lection. try to improve the breed. and
seed corn to sell.
II is best to manure corn ground in
the winter and pillow or disk it under
in the spring
Every beekeeper needs one or more
books on bee culture, dealing q 18th the
keeping of bees.
Farmers in general now are build
ing in more substantial way. The
use of concrete is responsible for a
part of it.
New corn as part ration is good
for horses doing fall work, and it is
excellent for fattening beef cattle.
Corn should not be planted on sod
which was broken up this spring for
the first time until late in the season
The barn set on a concrete founda-
ton looks substantial, and it is so,
and will last longer than the one set
on wooden posts or blocks.
AS soon as the corn plants are tall
enough SO the driver can see the rows
go into the field with a disk cultivator
| and disk the ground twice
On hard and shallow soil white
clover does not ordinarily last more
than two years, but on the richer and
moister lands 1t will grow for many
years without reseeding
Many farmers are so intent on ma
king money for the moneys sake that
they take no thought of the great pos
sibilities of perfect living in the coun-
try.
Alfalfa is so unlike any other forage
crop that it requires method of curing
altogether different from that used in
curing timothy. clover or any other
meadow grasses.
A prolific queen bee will during her
life lay 100000 eggs, each one-four-
teenth of an inch long. Put together
they would make chain 1874 miles
long.
Bees are worth all the trouble they
require to fertilize the stigmas of the
flowers in your orchard The yield
of honey is clear profit.
