had several times been consecutively
conceded that Maine went "wet' then
dry" the No License League star
tied the state this afternoon with the
announcement that its own figures

turns caused this second shakeup in
figures.

 Been COnsummated

PRAISE WORK OF
 SUMMER SCHOOL Successful Session Brought to Close With Lunch
 con Yesterday

With luncheon at the High school yesterday at noon the first summer school for teachers ever sponsored by the Board of Education came to an erfd dents officials and others argued con- clusively that the school has been a success in every sense of the word. The statement was made by President John l.. Parker in his short talk that the Board of Education intended to hold the training school every year and he hoped those of the future would be as successful in every way as the one which ended yesterday
 The school was attended by 233 teach CTS, who desired to freshen up for their work during the school terms and they were instructed by 12 instructors of the best material in the county. It is said that the school was freed of the usual deadening grind for examinations because of the fact that most of the teachers attending have been admitted to teach and, therefore, no stringent ex- animation was being prepared for bv the dllenQdnlS.
 It was also remarked upon at the luncheon yesterday that the absence of commercalism from the training school contributed largely to its success.
 At the luncheon yesterday talks were made by the following:
 Miss Elizabeth Mcintyre, Mrs. Margie Bell, teacher at Johns; Miss Haynie Smyer, teacher in city schools; Miss Mae Adams, an ex-teacher of Birmingham; !; Miss Katie Greene, A. H. S. graduate and teacher; H. P Burrus, principal city school; Miss Emily Westbrook, teacher in Sunnysde; Mir. Wilkins, Shades Valley; Miss May Ida Chase, university graduate; G. B.

FREIGHT HOUSES
 COMBINE TODAY
Illinois Central and Centrsl of GeOr. gia to Handle Business
 Together

Beginning today the business of the freight departments of the Central Of Georgia railroad and the Illinois Central railroad will be consolidated so far as the freight house is concerned. The shipments for the Central of Geor- gia territory will be received at the 1lli- nois Central freight house on lower First avenue. while the shipments formerly sent from the Central of Georgia house will be discontinued
 The announcement has been made here tofore that J. B. Mallon, agent for the Illinois Central, will have charge of the joint work with offices In the Illinois Gen. tral building
 The consolidation of the two agencies is only the beginning, it is believed, of a general consolidation of work of the two railroads. Since the death of the late Major Hanson, president of the Cen tral of Georgia railroad, the we'll informed railroad men here have held to the opin- ion that consultations would be made of the work of the two companies. The ownership by the Illinois Central of the Central of Georgia was the basis of this opinion, which was confirmed when President Markham of the Illinois Gen. tral was elected to the presidency of the Central of Georgia.
 The consolidation of the local offices was the second evidence of that inten- ton and it Is believed other consolida- tions are to be effected.
 General Agent E. F. Stovall of the Illi- nois Central, who is in close touch with the situation to be effective today, said the owners of the two companies would unquestonably effect a nice saving by the consolidation and that every effort would be put forth to give the shippers of Bir- mingham depending upon the Illinois Cen tral and Central of Georgia the very best of service.
 He said the organization of the joint freight house would be maintained upon the highest plane under MT. Mallon and that business would receive the closest attention.
 In connection with the consolidation it is said that business on the Illinois Cen tral is gradually broadening and the off cials feel very much pleased with the showing made here since that company entered Birmingham. It is believed that the consolidation of the two offices will result in better showing than has de- veIoped in the past.

B|G COAL ORDERS
 ARE BEING PLACED
Southern Railway Has Con- tracts for About 600,000
 Tons in District

The Southern Railway company has ordered from the Birmingham district its yearly supply of coal, aggregating SOo,Ooo Tennessee 100000 tons had been ordered was the announcement here yesterday by officials of that company
 The order of the Southern follows one by the Atlantic Coast Line for great tonnage of coal. The two contracts, while not new to the district, have stimu- lated the coal situation in this district.
 The coal of the Southern was appor- toned between several companies, any one or two being unable to handle the total tonnage required. The coal will be taken from the Birmingham district as 1t is needed upon the system for motive power.
 The coal merchants here expect that within the coming few days the other railroads ordering from this district will place contracts In addition 1t Is said there are many orders being held up for a couple of weeks and then the demand for coal is to be exceptionally brisk.
 J. R. Ryan, vice president of the Corona Coal and Iron company, who was in Bir- mingham yesterday, said the coal situ- ation was brightening and he was of the opinion that the situation would be com pletely changed for the better within few days.
 "The order of the Southern railway has required a great amount of coal,' said MT. Ryan. There are said to be a great many orders In abeyance now which will be let pretty soon. That will take off large tonnage. Then furnaces are re- suming which require great amount ot coal. These facts cause me to think that an exceptionally fine coal situation will loom up within very short time. At present the coal market is in better con dition than in some time past
 The buying of the railroads generally occurs at this period of the year and re- lieve to a large extent the situation in this district

UNABLE ID GAP
 NEW GAS WELL
Enormous Pressure Has So Far Defied All Efforts
 to Control 1t

The power of the recently discovered gas flow in the Fayette field is causing the officials a great deal of trouble in casing the well, according to informa- tion given out here yesterday.
 Since the largest well of gas in the field was brought in efforts have been made to case 1t in and then cap it to stop the waste of gas. However, the workmen have been unsuccessful in that effort and while every energy has been expended to case in the well, the wonderful flow of natural gas is roar ing skyward uninterrupted
 President Frank Nelson of the Prov idence Gas company said yesterday in speaking of the gas that while the well had not been capped yet the officials were trying to control it and would perhaps succeed very shortly.
 Several officials of the company paid visit to the recently discovered well at Bankston yesterday, including Flu gene Brown, w. H. Hassinger and others. They are enthusiastic over the flow and optimistic about the pipe line being constructed to this city.

of Kansas, and witnessed the open vio- latons of the prohibition law in that state.
 Knowing the approaching agitation in Alabama studied conditions and came to the conclusion that statutory prohibition was visionary, it's enforcement a farce, and that it caused a state of continual disturbance of business, owing in part to the demogogay of scheming politicians who brought about political strife to suit their own ends. I voted against prohi- bition, and against the amendment, be- lieving I was morally right then. I am sure of 1t now. My vote will be for high license and police regulation.
 q certainly prefer the legal regulation of the liquor traffic to the illegal condi- tions as they exist today" said Judge C. l.. Babbs of Bessemer. T favor the high license saloon as the better means of deal ing with this question. I speak from ex- perience both as an official and citizen, when I say that the blind tiger, which every one knows fourishes in every part of our great county, is a menace to the peace. prosperity and progress of the com munity wherever he exists. g
 '"rhe sale of liquor to boys Is increas- ing every day for the tiger recognizes no age limit. The sale of liquor by women was practically unheard of before tn. prohibition laws were in effect, yet today the home has been invaded and whisky is being sold in the presence Of children and sometimes by them. This is deplor- able, but it is true. I shall cast my vote for the high licensed saloon. conscien- tiously believing it will be the best for the community from every standpoint"
