ED KEITH WILL
RESIGN TO-DAY
Foreman of Chemical Company and
Secretary Firemen's Association
VIII Go Into Business

At 8 o'clock this morning Capt. Ed
Keith, foreman of Chemical Company
No. 1, secretary of the city fire depart
ment, and also of the Firemen's Relief
association, will tender his official res
ignation from the fire department to
Chief Bennett. Mr. Keith has been con-
templating this change for some time,
with the Idea of going into the whole
sale fruit and produce business. He
has had a small business of this kind
for some time, but now intends to give
1t his whole attention.
G. C. Giles has been elected secretary
of the Firemen's Relief association, and
A., o. Albertson secretary to Chief Ben
nett, to fill Mr.. Keith's place. The po-
sition of foreman of the chemical COM
pany has not yet been filled.
Mr.. Keith will have his new place of
business on Morris avenue. He has had
experience in the wholesale fruit and
produce business and does not feel that
1t Is an entirely new venture, but hopes
soon to build up large and profitable
business, not only in Birmingham, but
all over the country. Mr.. Keith has
been with the fire department for sew
eraI years. being always well liked and
popular among his associates, as is
shown by the offices which he leaves
vacant by his resignation. 1t is with
great regret that the members of the
fire department, especially Station No.
|, have learned of Mr.. Keith's intention
Of leaving the department.

BOND ELECTION OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE

'"Tomorrow's bond election has not only
interested me most today, but for the
last week or more" said William A.
Allen, captain of truck company No. 1
Of the city fire department yesterday.
This bond election is a matter almost
of life or death to us men who are EN-
ployes of the city; at least, this is so If
We keep our jobs.
ut has simply boiled down to the fact
whether we desire to have our wages cut
25 per cent and perhaps more for serv-
ing the public and risl1ing our lives three
and four times every day. Because, if
the bond issue Is voted down Monday, I
have it from good authority that inside
of two months the city employees will
be receiving payment in scrip We will
be lucky if the scrip is honored at all.
I know it will not be taken by the gro
GERS and butchers The only place pos
sible for turning the scrip into money
with which to buy food and clothing
will be at the banks, where IL they take
II at all they will charge a % per cent
discount.
Does it stand to reason that we should
vote against the issue when 1T takes that
aspect to US, or that we should not ask
our friends to vote for 1t also? Other
cities issue bonds and borrow money and
are prospecting, and l don't see why Bir-
mingham cannot do the same thing. l
haven't any doubt but what the Issue
will carry all right, but at the same time
can see that it has strong opposition.
and that this opposition is strongest
among the small property owners, and
even men who own no real estate in
the city at all. I am for It, and for it
strong, and am glad to say that most
OF my friends will likewise vote for it,.

AUTHORSHIP OF POEM

in letter I read by John Trotwood

autho was not Henry Thaxton, as had
been published by the Nashville Amer

lawyer.
IT recall that a number of years ago,

wrote an editorial calling attention
to the authorship of the poem by Wat
son and bringing out the disputes that
had arisen from time to time regarding
the production. In a few days an elder
ly lady called at my office and told me
that she was in Watson's house at the

garded as convincing proof that the

IMPRESSED BY WORDS
HEARD IN BIBLE CLASS

"The thing that has interested me
most during the day was an utterance
made by the teacher of my Bible Glass;
said l. D. Nabers. "The teacher said
that Thomas in the number Of disciples
represented the second chance. Upon
reflection I was convinced that this was
true. and that brought on train of
tn ought that has not ended yet.
IF it were not for our second
chances how many of us would amount
to anything? How many lives would
rise to greatness? 1t is a wonderful
thing, these second chances that are
given us. They enable us to turn de-
feats into victories, failure into sue
cesses. After much thought I have this
.lessage to give you:
Never quit. Don't show the yellow
streak. Life is a battle and the prize
goes to him who can fight the hardest
and longest. And when we fail or feel
discouraged. always remember Thomas

chance"

"What Has Interested
You Most During Ddy?'
Some of the Replies Made by elKnown Citizens When
Asked This Question Yesterday

men of Birmingham expect the young
sters to take a mate when the dust is
so plentiful that it covers tongue and
throat with a thick coat and makes 1t
impossible to talk. An eXpectant and
hopeful young man will board a car
downtown, face clean, clothes spick and
span, and his mind fully made up as to
what he is going to say. But what is
the result? Before he has gone two
blocks the car has stirred up dust
enough to change the color of his cloth
ing to a yellow hue. The dust enters
his mouth and the choking process fol-
lows. By the time he reaches his desti-
nation all thoughts of love have been
CHI oked back and as a result all he can
talk of when he reaches her side is the
awful plague of dust. OF the dust
would not complain, it being unseemly
for visitor to criticise, but 1 notice

the dust, and | want to tell you that
better one couldn't have been started"

CITIZENS SHOULD
APPROVE BOND ISSUE

like every citizen that has the good
of Birmingham at heart, I feel inter
ested in the $500, 900 bond issue which
will be voted on Monday" said Leo X.
Steiner the banker. II cannot i'm
agine that any considerable number of
people will vote against the PROPOSE
ton. Defeat of the proposed bond is
sue would be well nigh fatal to Bir-
mingham.
1.-THE advantage to be derived from
this 100000 bond issue is so plain that
everybody can understand it. The city
has to pay s per cent on money bor-
rowed from bank, whereas these bonds
are to bear only per cent--a saving
of S120G0 a year to the city, to say
nothing of the fact that a bond issue is
the approved and business-like method
of financing a municipal government"

HAS CHANCE TO MAKE
AN EMINENT TENOR

Good tenor voices are always scarce,
and what has Just been appealing to
me especially has been a high, sweet
tenor-one of the finest voices that I
have ever listened to-" said Oliver
Chalifoux THE singer to whom I re-
fer is Mr.. James Cone a young man OF
Birmingham, who is at present cloth
ing salesman, but who is almost sure
to become famous as an artist.
Mr.. Cone sang, If With All Your
Hearts, from Mendelssohn's Elijah at
song service at st. Paul's ch drch, and
every one who heard him must have
felt at once that he had in him the
making of a great lyric star. Mr. Conc
