Rev. Bentley Says Marion school An
tfcipates Unusually Good Year

\ The Rev. o. P. Bentley, prominent
member of the Baptist church, was In
Birmingham yesterday and will remain
here several days in the interest OF
Judson college at, Marion.
I'VE anticipate one of the best terms
of the sch oors entire history beginning
this fall" said Mr.. Bentley yesterday.
The enrolment ] think will be larger
and the students will be largely from
Alabama. We are trying by every
means 10 interest the parents of Ala
bama In this work and hope that we
will succeed in securing large num-
Der of Birmingham girls as students at
Judson
I'VE have as many fine educa tional
institutions in Alabama as any state
In the union. We may perhaps be a
little in arrears in the earlier classes
but from the elementary grades to the
highest classes at college we have
schools here that cannot be placed sec
ond to any The people of the state
should be proud of the Increases that
have been made in facilities and the
large gain In students"

BETTER THINGS
IN IRON PRICES SOON
........................."....

rumblings that are heard will develop
into good business within a short time. [
personally feel that this district will face
a fine business trade this fall"
Pig Iron is still firm at the quotations
that have prevailed for some time back
The iron producers and those men who
handle the output to the consumers be-
lieve that within few weeks iron condi-
lions will be great deal better.
Il believe that within 30 days the iron
market will be very much stronger and
that better prices will prevail" said
Horace Hammond of Hammond Byrd &
Co. I'VE are receiving large number of
inquiries that indicate possible tonnage,
and the supply on the yard is growing
smaller as the days pass. Some little iron
is being sold at the present price, but no
very big sales are being made. The cut
in the production added TO the decrease of
yard iron will act for the enhancement of
values when the traders begin to see that
things are Frightening. | personally think
Ii the iron market would go up about 81
the Birmingham district would be bene-
fitted enormously.

SHARKS COMES TO
SEE ABOUT WRECKS
THEY HAVE TWO ROUTES UNDER
CONFEDERATION FOR NEW D0U-

For the purpose of looking over the
ground personally and to confer with
Col. John b. Harlan, chief special agent

many reached Birmingham yesterday. Mr..
Starks was to hold his conference with
the detectives who are investigating the
numerous wreck attempts last night at
the offices of 7. e. Brooks superintend-
ent of this division. The appearance OF
Mr. Starks in Birmingham with the
avowed purpose of trying to help out on
the wreck situation created intense in
terest in local railroad circles. He and
Colonel Harlan, along with the local Of
ficers. have been following every clue in
the wreck case until il is believed some
definite information upon which an ar
rest may be made. will be announced very
shortly.
When questioned in regard to the
wreck investigation last night Mr. Starks
said he could not at this time give
out any Information.
II will say this much" said S.r>Starks,
land that is the Louisville and Nash
Vile railroad will never let up until the
cause of these wrecks is known and those
guilty of their preparation located
In speaking of the proposed double
tracking OF his line north of Birmingham
Mr.. Stark said: I'VE have mapped out
two routes with the engineers, but we
have made no actual appropriation for
the work. II is generally believed that
when the work is started we will have
two good routes to follow and will have
every bit of desired Information to assist
us in the work We cannot announce
when the work will start at this time as
that Is a matter for the future
Business is very good in this district,
continued Mr.. Starks. And Birmingham
seems to be busy. The great tonnage OF
coal has kept the railroads very active
and all limos continue to receive fine ship

BISHOP OF GALLOWAY

In England the church dignitaries
who possess the title of bishop are
generally designated as for instances:
The Bishop of London or the Bishop
of Birmingham or the Bishop of Man
chester, as the case may be. Consio-
cradle formality accompanies their
movements.
The late Bishop C. b. Galloway was
In England short time before his
death, which grieved the entire south
land, and was stopping in London. While
there Bishop ]. H. Mccoy says the fol-
lowing incident happened:
Bishop Galloway was very retiring
and did not like any notice taken OF
his appearance. One day he entered
the cafe of leading London hotel. The
footman preceded the distinguished
southern churchnan and as the bishop
entered the dining room the footman
very soberly announced: The Bishop
of Galloway
1.-THE announcement almost knocked
the qignifed Bishop Galloway down and
he made an exit as soon as possible.
We often chided the bishop with that
story and he never failed to laugh over
the attendant recollecrfons"
