Furniture will surely
be higher. Each year, as
the mighty industries of
our country have made
inroads into our forests,
the nation has, resounded
with a cry of Conserva-
tion-conserve the for
ests. Each year, as time
rolls by, the raw material
for producing furniture
has become more scarce
SO that now the race is to
the swift and the battle to
the strong. There will
come. a time that you and
[ shall see-and soon
that furniture will climb
into the class of Injuries.
Already manufacturers
are sounding notes of
warning-new prices are
replacing old-so furni-
ture that you buy or own
now, in years to come will
carry the profit Of "a

BENNERS REFUSES
THE INJUNCTION
Captain Allen Loses First Bout in Con-
troversy with Providence Oil
and Gas Company

The application for temporary injunc-
ton filed in the chancery court by Joseph
" Allen in his suit against the Provi-
dence Oil and Gas company was denied
and the injunction refused, according to
decree rendered yesterday morning by
Judge A. H. Benners. Captain Allen
suit is for the recovery of 45,167 shares OF
stock in the Providence Oil and Gas COM
pany, of which he alleges he was de-
frauded through misrepresentation. The
injunction applied for was to temporarily
restrain the company from disposing OF
the shares of which Captain Allen al
leges he was defrauded.
Judge Benner's decree follows:
1.-THE application for injunction, in the
foregoing bill being submitted to me for
fat, upon the bill, answers of defendants
who have answered, and affidavits, as
noted by the register. upon consideration
1t is held that the said application should
not be granted; 1t is therefore ordered
that said injunction be, and 1t is by me
refused. ALFRED H. BENNERS,
June 20. 1910. Chancellor"
Though the denial of the application is
regarded as somewhat of victory for
Dr. Grove and the Providence company,
the final outcome of the suit is not af-
fected, and Captain Allen and his attor-
news are confident of ultimate victory.
The hearing which resulted in yester-
DAVIS decree was begun Tuesday after
noon, when arguments were heard from

RURAL CARRIERS
TO MEET JULY 4
AND 1T Is NOT UNLIKELY THAT
THEY WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO
SAY ON THE SUBJECT

The rural mail carriers of Jefferson
county will meet in convention here on
the Fourth of July. Vice President II.
A. Lane issued notices yesterday of the
meeting and it is expected that one of
the largest crowds in the history OF the
association will be present. Congress
man o. w. Underwood has been invited
to address the meeting and 1t is expeA-
ed that he will accept.
The meeting will elect officers for the
ensuing year, and will elect delegates
to attend the state convention which Will
be held in the fall.
The rural mail carriers are very much
concerned in the proper construction OF
roads and the maintenance of the high
ways after they are constructed. They
travel over the Jefferson county roads
every day For this reason, and because
of the fact that every one Is more or less
interested in better highway conditions 1t
is expected that some resolution will be
adopted by the carriers in connection
with local road conditions. The associa-
ton cannot take any official action in
the matter, but 1t is not believed any hes
itancy will be encountered in adopting
resolutions relative to Jefferson county
highways.

FISCAL YEAR FOR
CITY ENDS TODAY
Building Records for This Year
Phenomenal
JUNE WAS VERY ACTIVE
License Collections for Year VIII Reach
S306,O00-City Departments Are All
Busy Preparing Annual
Reports
JUNE WAS VERY ACTIVE

The fiscal year for the city of Birming-
harn closes tonight. June 80. This marks
the completion of the first year since the
change was made. The departments were
all busy yesterday preparing their annual
reports. Figures from the books of Ii
cense Insuector Boggan show that the
total collections for the year will reach
100000. Mr.. Boggans work really runs
from January to January, as licenses are
not due until January l, and he experts
to exceed his record of $325,000 made in
1907 before the calendar year is out.
Figures from the office OF Building In
spector Matthews show a remarkable
building record for the year of practical
~ sSoOO,OOO expended in building, an in
crease of nearly 100000 over the same
months in the year previous, in spite of
the fact that in 1908 the Empire and
Chamber of Commerce buildings We're
erected
The first six months of 1910 have made
a record which surpas-es anything in the
history of the city, the construction for
the period having amounted to S1,902. 727.
This, too although there have been no per-
mits issued for large business or office
buildings.
June, 1910, has been an active month. Up
to o'clock last night permits had been
issued for buildings costing s291,500. The
largest being the Southside Baptist
church, issued yesterday, estimated at
$4,000; the negro church at Sixth avenue,
ST. 600; the r. d. Burnett residence and
the Wimberly & Thomas new building.
Here are the building figures for the
fiscal year:

THREE BULLETS HIT
SYRIAN GROCER
Two in Head and One in Chest But the
Victim Is Believed to Be
In No Danger

With two bullet wounds in the head and
one in the chest, A. Joseph, Syrian gro
Gerry store proprietor at Avenue H and
Fifteenth street, lies in his bed at home
apparently as well as ever. An unknown
negro attempted to murder Mr.. Joseph
about 9 o'clock last night. The negro
shot him three times with q % calibrc
revolver, two shots taking effect in the
head, but neither penetrating the skull.
The bullets struck the skull and ran
around Mr. Josephs head under the
scalp DR.. David s. Moore lanced the
skin and the lead pellets dropped out.
The negro entered The Joseph Mack
soud grocery and meat market last night
and bought a drink of cocoa-cola. Mr..
Joseph was in the store alont and when
he was not looking the negro drew his
gun and opened hostilities 1t is believed
that his purpose was highway robbery.
He made his escape.
One of the bullets entered Mr.. Joseph ;
chest, but Dr. Moore said last night that
it would not cause any serious injury
unless the wounded man should contract
pneumonia. DR.. Moore gave Mr.. Jo-
scph medical attention and he was taken
to his home at 724 South Fifteenth street.
Several policemen and crowd of citl-
zens soon gathered after the shooting.

tion of educators that woman has even

URGING EVERYONE
TO TRADE AT HOME

"Get the Birmingham habit is the idea
which the Business Mems league proposes
to drum into the heads of every man,
woman and child within radius Of 100
miles of Birmingham.
With this idea in view Secretary Frank
p. Chaffee is calling especial attention
of the public in that territory to the COM
mutation rates which have been put on
by nearly all the railroads entering Biz
mingham.
These tickets may be purchased at al
most half rate. and may be used by any
good for 80 rides. 1t is pointed out that
with these tickets the family within an
average distance of Birmingham may en-
JOY exactly the same privileges as the SUI
burbante who uses the street cars.
Through the efforts of the Business
Mems league every railroad has so adj
1usted it's schedules that shoppers may
come In the morning and get back home
spending the night. Now that the COM
mutation tickets have BEEN secured, there
Is nothing In the way to keep Birming-
ham from becoming the greatest shopping
center in the south.
These communication tickets are also sold
to business houses. and may be used by
any member of the firm. They are sold
at a greatly reduced rate, with time
limit.
This information is being spread all over
north Alabama by the league, together
with various facts that the bargains
which await the buyers in birmingham.

sudden attacks of cramps, nausea and
vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies
and physicians, but obtained only tenn
porary relief AS soon as | began to
use the new food the cramps disap-
reared and have never returned.

CHANDLER IS HAND
SOMELY REMEMBERED

the Queen and Crescent route. will
terminate his services with that com
pany today and will leave this after
noon for Jacksonville to assume his
new duties as Terminal ticket agent
for the Jacksonville Terminal company
Mr.. Chandler was appointed to that
position last week.
Just before closing the ticket Office
yesterday preparatory to leaving for
the last time as an official Mr.. Chand
lers Office was besieged with a host of
local passenger traffic officers, who
wished to pay their final respects to the
departing passenger man.
Capt. James Richmond McGregor, the
veteran district passenger agent for the
Frisco attracted Mr.. Chambers atten-
ton and in behalf of the entire colony
of passenger men presented Mr.. Chand-
Ter with a handsome alligator travelling
bag. The presentation coming as 1t did
without intimation or warning com
pletely stunned the recipient for a mo-
ment. Mr.. Chandler, recovering him
self, and in voice choked with emotion
thanked the friends for their remem-
brance in happy little speech.
The presentation of the bag to Mr..
Chandler was a mark of the universal
esteem In which ne is held py local
passenger men. Everyone in the rail-
road colony esteems Buck" Chandler
and they all regret his departure from
Birmingham.

CONCENTRATE MEN
AT COUNTY SEAT
SHERIFF WILL HAVE ALL HIS DEP
UTIEs AT OFFICE ON FOURTH
READY FOR EMERGENCY IN ANY
PART OF COUNTY

Sheriff E. L. Higdon said last night
that his entire force of deputy sherifrs
would be held at the office in the court
house all day Monday, July Fourth. so
as to be in readiness for any emergency
call that may come in
Colonel Hgdon said There will be nc
special deputies stationed at the different
places over the county where a picnic
or any public gathering is in progress.
1 have received numerous requests from
different people from all parts of tho
county to send one or two deputies to
preserve order whore some such gather
ing Is to take place.
IF l should comply with these re-
quests and any disturbance of conse-
quence should arise we would be abso-
lutely helpless because the men would
be scattered all over the county. l do
rot anticipate any trouble among the
people on the Fourth but there are to
be great many picnics, excursions, re-.
unions and other gatherings and no one
can tell what may happen.
81 want a statement made public that
1t is my request to any citizen of the
county who chances to be where any
trouble may start, that he do his duty
and ask the man or when who are caus-
ing the disturbance to desist. Then, If
it still continues, want the citizen to
arrest the offender and bring him to the
county Jail Any citizen has this right
and If it were exercise more often many
serious shooting scrapes and other dis
turbances would be stopped before they
had grown serious.
1.-The entire force of deputies will be
here at the office all day and will be at
the immediate service of anyone who
desires. 1 feel sure that the Fourth will
pass off smoothly but in case there Is
any trouble l am also sure that We can

DIFFICULT TO FIND
MEN WHO WILL RUN
BUT ACTIVITY SEEMS TO DE CON
FINED VERY LARGELY TO FIGHTS
AMONG THEMSELVES

The republicans of Alabama are expert
encing great difficulty in finding men to
run for office, and it now seems prob
able that NJ. w. Howard in the Seventh
congressional district will be the only
active republican candidate in the field.
W. f. Aldrich has refused to lead the
republicans of the Fourth district against
Fred Backmon and the convention in
the First district adjourned without put
ting a man in the field.
The indications point to very tame pol
tics from the republican standpoint. AL
though Amos Goodhue OF Gadsden has
been prominently mentioned as candi-
date for governor, he has not yet been in
duced to run. 1t is probable that the
completion of a ticket will have to be
left to a subcommittee.
1t is now evident that If the Thomp-
son forces ever had any desire to write
statewide prohibition into the republican
platform it has been abandoned. Promi-
nent republicans throughout the state are
now working on the platform and will
get 1t In shape several days before the
convention on July u.
Local anti-admnistration men are con-
tenting themselves with an effort to re-
organize the county and district COM
mftteeS. While some few of them claim
that they can defeat the Thompson adj
ministration in the state convention, 1t
is well understood that Mr.. Thompson
and the present committee were elected
for four years. and their term does nor
expire until 1912.
While the anti-administration forces,
which held separate conventions two
years ago, are now working in the ranks.
they are making every effort to wrest
power from Mr. Thompson. That is their
sole ambition in Jefferson county, and
they have selected sufficient delegates to
make the Thompson men shiver, though
the latter claim that they will be vic.
torious. The county convention on July
4 will be exceedingly interesting.

OBSERVATION CAR FOR
BIRMINGHAM SPECIAL

In confirmation of his promise made
several weeks ago to improve the Biz
mingham Special operated by the South
ern railway, Samuel Fl. Hardwick, gen.
eral passenger agent for that company,
has advised the local officers that a
Pullman observation-library car, recent
" constructed. would be in Birmingham
next week to be placed on that train.
The birmingham Special operated to
the east is very popular among local bus
mess men, and as 1t attracts great
deal Of attention by reason of its title
local people became interested and re-
ouested the latest and most modern
equipment. Mr.. Hardwick promised this,
and the placing of an observation car on
the rear of this train will add greatly to
it's comfort, as well as to the train S
exterior appearance.
The car has been constructed of steel
and Is in every detail modern. Mr.. Hard
wick will be here next week to be pres
ent when the innovation Is made.
