FUNDS FOR TIE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS Forty Patients Waiting to
 Be Cared For HEARINGS FOR TODAY Association Has Asked for $500 Month From Both City and Coun-
 ty Authorities-Dr. Eayes
 Discusses Importance

The Jefferson county Board of Revenue will today take up the application of the Anti-Tuberculosis association for a monthly appropriation of $500 10 carry oa the work of the camp on Red moun- tain. It so happens that the city commls- sioners will also take up today for final disposition the application for a similar sum from the city for this work.
 It is believed that both the county and city will deal liberally with the asso- citation in this work, the importance ana good effects of which have already been thoroughly demonstrated.
 Dr. George Eaves, who is one or the moving spirits in the associations work said last night:
 We hope tomorrow to arouse not only the Board of Revenue and the city coih- missioners to the tremendous importance of this work, but we want every eltizel Of Birmingham to know about 1t. AL the present time we have not enough money to pay the running expenses or the camp, and we have been receiving as much from private contributions as rom the authorities to carry on this very m portant undertaking.
 We have been caring for a great many charity patients, more, really, than our funds justified, and we have right now more than 40 patients waiting to enter whom we are absolutely unable to care for because of our lack of funds. IL is little less than murder not to take care of these people who apply to us, because those who are on the mountain are getting well, and we can make others set well if we can only get the money to provide for them.
 Atlanta gives $l0,0o0 year to its anti tuberculosis camp, and Fulton county gives another S10,00O. We really need that much to do the most effective work here, hut we are not asking for so much. What we are asking from the city and county, together with our ptivate subscriptions. will give us from s14,00O to $l60Oo, and with this we can do world of good.
 If the authorities wish it, we are per fectly willing to turn over to them the administration of the camp, but we really believe that it can be done more econom- ically by voluntary individuals, this for tle reason that individuals can get special terms on supplies which the authorities would be unable to get Some of our pa tients pay, but they only pay their actual expenses. Patients in the camp must have | only the very best food and the very best | care, and these require money We are sincerely hoping that the city and county authorities will he as liberal with us as the importance of the work demands.

PAY DAYS
 ANNOUNCED BY T. c. l. CO.,

2 The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company will inaugurate a semirmonthly pay day, effective ina October, according to an announcement made yesterday py President George Gordon Crawford of that company The official announcement reads as follows:
 Tn compliance with what the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company be Iieves to be the wishes of a majority of it's employees, it has been decided to in augurate semi-monthly pay day in those departments in which this practice does not now exist. This will include:
 Coal mines.
 ..Ore mines and quarries.
 Foundry furnace division.
 Lin Iron works, and,
 Timber department
 Tt has not been customary in the above departments to have semi-monthly pay days for the reason that it has always been believed that the lost time on, pay day and several days thereafter would seriously decrease production and also in- crease the cost of production. In order to protect itself against this possibility the company will require observance ol the following rules, which will also apply to Ensley works, where the semi-monthly pay has been in force for some years
 "Rule l. Any man leaving his place of work on pay day before the regular hour; of quitting established by the company will have his money held up until the next pay day, which in effect will be equivalent to monthly pay day fol that employe, unless he has a satisfac' tory excuse. Serious illness. either in thu

case of himself or his family, or. death in his family, will be regarded as a satis- factory excuse. Checks on the company commissary will not be issued to any em- ploye violating this rule for one week thereafter.
 Rule ?. The above rule applies with equal force to all employees who fail 10 report for duty on the regular pay day.
 Rule 8. The company will also expect all employees to report for duty at the regular hours on the Monday following pay day. Failure to do so, except for the causes mentioned in Rule l, will be pen alized in accordance with Rule l.
 This plan will be made effective during the month of October, 1911. In order that pay days may always fall on Saturday 1t will be found that about every three months there will be one pay day cover ing three weeks wages.
 "For the information of all employees g printed schedule will be posted just as soon as possible, showing the regular dates on which pay days will occui throughout the year 1911. Beginning with January. 1912, another schedule will be issued. showing the pay days for the cn. If it is found that this practice results

motion and resulted as follows:
Yeas-Mayor Langford, Aldermen

ton 6 of the original franchise a
submitted, by adding this provisc
Said company shall not, during tn
life OF said franchise, establish o
maintain within the city of NeWberry
an electric lighting plant or waite
station
This Acceptable.
Mr.. Milmow said with few sligh
changes, he thought that that PROPOSE
ton would be acceptable to the com
pany.
The DurDort of this is that tn
Southern Power company would hav'
permission to sell power to anybod!
within the city and in any quantity
but would not have the right to fur
nish lights. In their contract with thu
cotton mills, it is agreed that light:
will also be furnished for the mills.
Alderman Earhardt stated that thu
city plant was not intended primar
lily as power plant, but as lighting
plant, and it had been run as a power
plant only to accommodate a number
of small industries, and he would have
no objection to the Southern Power
company furnishing lights to the
mills, and the large corporations be
! cause they did not now obtain theil
lights from the city plant, and he haC
intended to put in a proviso covering
; that point ad would make a part o.
his proposition.
This proposition of Alderman Ear.
hradt's seemed to meet the approva
of the entire council and to be accep,
table as a solution of the difference
between the Southern Power company
and the city, and it was agreed thai
a proviso could be put in the fran
chise permitting the Southern Power
company to furnish lights to any cor
porations using as many as 100 horse
power.
Mr.. Milmow said that he was salts
fed that that proposition would be &C.
ceptable to his people.
Alderman Summer said that he did
not object to the Southern Power
company coming into Newberry. In
fact, was anxious for the company to
come, but he wanted to protect the
city plant.
Did They Make Offer for Greenwood
Plant?
Alderman Barhardt read from a re-
port of the city council of Greenwood,
statement that the power and light
ing plant of that city had cost S68,000,
and that it was valued at s150,OOO, and
the city was submitting in this re-
port, a question to the citizens of
Greenwood asking it mey would con-
slider a proposition of s25O,000 for the
plant, and intinated that city council
had such a proposition. Mr.. Earhardt
wanted to know if Mr.. Milmow knew
whether or not that proposition came
from the Southern Power company.
Mr. Milmow said that he was satisfied
that it did not and that there had
been no negotiations between the
Southern Power company and the city
council of Greenwood, so far as he
had heard, and be believed if there
had been he would bave heard it.
The Earhardl Proposition Agreed To
The proposed amendment by Mr..
Earhardt was agree to by council and
a committee composed of Aldermen
Earhardt and Summer was appointed
to meet with the city attorney, and
put the suggestion in proper legal
form to be submitted for ratification

held Wednesday afternoon at $50
o'clock. The motion to adopt the re-
solution was made by Alderman Ear
'hardt. and seconded by Alderman
Summer.
