During the half hour that elapsed between the time they saw the car and the time when they returned with the warrants the car had been moved. Then the chase began in earnest. For while the deputies pur- sued the elusive car in an automobile. but were later forced to use a hand car From one end of the yards to the other the deputies went, taking turns in pumping the handcar.

WHAT WILL TOTAL
 VOTE BE TUESDAY

There is no little speculation just now on the vote which will be cast in this state next Tuesday. In the amendment fight the vote was l2S.OOO. It is figured that at least 22ooo have since registered and become qualified voters This would give the state 1500O0 registered voters. Should one out of every five stay at home the total vote would be between 12o,oOo and 13O,oO0.
 So far there has been no betting on the result of the election, so far as the state ticket is concerned. The majority for the democratic ticket is figured any where from 5000 to 100000.

I, along with other members of the cons mittee, had often heard Birmingham spoken of However, I never dreamed that this district was so large or the facilities here so capable of big things. I believe the plants here, both as to steel and iron making, are as nearly Geal as any in America. Every machine is modern and every method shows keen vision for the best on the part of the Steel corporation officers in charge. I enjoyed very much the trip over the district and will have great deal to tell of Birmingham when this city Is re- ferred to in an off-hand manner In the future. The people of this city have a just cause to feel buoyant over the hold ings here"

may be all right from a boxers stand
