BAKER AND PARTY
 SPEND DAY HERE
Queen and Crescent General Manager Looks for Fine Business
 This Fall

Horace Baker, general manager Of the Queen and Crescent Route, and a party of officials from Cincinnati, arrived here yesterday and spent the day looking over the local conditions. The officials went over the shops here carefully and left in the late afternoon for Gadsden.
 Besides MT. Baker, the party included w. S. Andrews, general superintendent of transportation; c. Dougherty, chief engi- neer, and other officials.
 The information was given out here by MT Baker that the report that the Ala bama Great Southern shops. now located on Twenty-eighth street, were to be re- moved was unauthentic. He said that 1t was commonly known that the company had acquired 40 acres near Elmwood cem- etery on the main line for the purpose of erecting their shops eventually, but that nothing had been done in that direction. nor would there be any plans outlined for some years unless something unforeseen arose.
 Business has not been good for the past few weeks" said MT. Baker. But from now on we anticipate excellent bus- ness We recently bought 5000 tons of steel rails here, which will be delivered pretty soon and with which repairs and sidetracks will be arranged on the Ala bama Great Southern in anticipation of fine volume of business this fall Cotton was never better In the territory along our lines and we penetrate some fine cot ton belts. Corn and other agricultural products are excellent and when these commodities begin to move there will be extensive work for the railroads. This we all share in. Whatever the railroads get is from the people, and if we prosper it is undeniable that the average citizen prospers with us"
 MT. Baker and his party of officials yes terday said the various companies had been buying to some extent. The replace ment of signals between this city and Tuscaloosa and below that point is about completed as well as similar work north of Birminyham.

GENERAL WALKER IN
 FAVOR OF MONUMENT

Columbia S. C., August 23.-Gen. c. Irvine Walker of Charleston, of whom the supreme command of the United Confederate veterans devolved, by senior ity, at the death recently of Gen. George w. Gordon of Memphis, does not see any harm in the proposition to have Con gress appropriate s5000O for a monument at Vicksburg park to the Confederate navy. He said, when interviewed while in attendance on the state reunion here, that to his mind the action proposed would have no partisan significance and would involve surrender of southern pride nor any exhibition of northern mag nanmity.
 "All of the much that has been done at Vicksburg park has been done' said General Walker, with the strictest i'm partiality, so far as north and south are concerned Confederate positions have been marked in the same fashion as fed eral position. It Is a national. not a sectional park. The only fault I would have to find in the measure offered would be in the dedication of such a monument to the Confederate navy. It Is appro- priate that the existing monument to which the proposed shaft would be com elementary, should be to the federal navy for the federal navy did bear large part in the operations at Vicksburg, but the Confederate forces engaged there were all military. If the monument Is reared if should be to the Confederate soldiers engaged"
 Senator B. R. Tillman agrees.

THORP WRITES ON
 PARK QUESTION
\ Says Question of Ownership Would Be Easy For Jury to Decide If
 Facts Are Submitted
Q the Editor of The Age Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Allow me space in your paper to reply to MT. Frank Nelson and c. M. Green about the park proposition in North Bir- mingham. MT. Nelson, in your issue of the 18th inst, seems to be under the im- pression that the title to this valuable property is in the North Birmingham Land company, because his attorneys told him so and added. but mind you. I do not say that they know as much law as MT. Thorp.''
 I wish to say that It is not a question of who knows the most law, but ques- tion of fact, which, if suit be brought, would be left for Jury to decide. MT. Nelson and MT Green both know that the North Birmingham Land company of fered to the city of North Birmingham a deed to what is now used as park if it (North Birmingham refrain from bringing suit to recover what the land company had sold off. and the promise to pay should ever North Birmingham be made . part of Birmingham. From this a read- ing public can come to its own con clusions.
 I contend that the city can win this property in a suit if 1t does not wait too long. as we yet have quite a few people here who bought their property on the strength of this being a public park, and in my opinion this is all the city would have to convince a jury of. Of course, the city, if suit be brought, would not submit its case on the evidence of MT. Nelson and Mir Green, who, being con nected with the land company, would nat urally give evidence supporting their side of the case, as the most optimistic would not expect them to come out in the pub lic press admitting defeat.

BEASLEY TALKS OF
 WORK AT FAYETTE
Senator Bankhead's Secre- retary Back For the
 Adjournment

Washington. August 3-(Special. )-After a few weeks spent at his home at Fayette, Cecil A. Beasey, secretary to Senator Bankhead, returned to Washington just in time to see the Congress gathering up it's wraps for it's leavetaking. When he left home it looked like the lawmakers were settling down for several more months of work. Before he arrived in Washington things had happened rapidly, and he had to turn round and go back.
 MT. Beasley brings a cheerful story of the rapid rebuilding of his home towns which was totally destroyed by fire less than six months ago. Fayette is being rebuilt along substantial lines and with wonderful rapidity.
 Among the buildings already completed are eight brick and two concrete stores. Other buildings under construction are $SO, GOO hotel, a $12.000 bank building and a new courthouse to cost $60,000. Contracts have also been let for a new postof- flee building, two brick and two concrete stores. MT. Beasley himself is having the postoffice building erected.
 The officials of the town will allow nothing but brick stone or concrete build ings erected in large fire district.

The Rev. Charles O. Oxnam. D. D,' ana ,,,.,so so,ire have returned from Santa Barbara, where most successiu evangelistic service was held. on the re- turn trip Investigations of the rescue work in San Francisco, Salt Lake GUY Denver, Omaha Chicago ana e.. hou's were made. with a view to the more IT, talliyent administration of Pisgah home In Birmingham.
 The Birmingham Pisgah idea Of hndlng work for poor men and holding them up until pay day, instead of clappihs ''en' into a dirty jail, was received with great deal of interest, and at Santa Barpai a' Omaha and Council Bluffs, Pisgah attach- ments have been made to the rescue mis- sions.
 Strong pressure was brought to bear on the Pisgah evangeists to remain in Call fornia, and Dr. Oxnam was offered num- Der of remunerative churches, but these gentlemen feel that their work amongst the destitute in Birmingham must go on.
 Pisgah home in Birmingham was found to be in good shape, over 1000 meals having been served during July.
 pr. Oxnam will soon move his family to Birmingham, and at that time it is de- sired to start a Pisgah home for girls. The white slave dragon 'drags his slmy length even here, and the Pisgah evan gelists are in possession of information of startling nature. Mrs. Oxnam was a consecrated deaconess in the Methodist Episcopal church, was for years matron of the largest deaconess training school in the west. and her work amongst fallen

 Even the most optimistic prohibi- tionists have srealized for some time that the county was going wet, ana the only question confronting them was just how wet is 1t going?' The lead CTS of the Saloon Opposition league have centered their best efforts in the attempt to land the dspensary system and from every stump and every plat form wherever the .oppositionists had a meeting, they have urged the voters to cast their ballots on the second choice for the dispensary.
 On the other hand, the local option ists have never wavered from their first proposition, that of high licensed, well regulated saloons, operated under the provisions of the Smith bill They have advocated the regulated saloon as the means of relieving the county from the evil influences of the blind tiger and have placed the issue squarely be- fore the people as to whether present conditions should exist and the legal sale of liquor should prevail against the illegal sale as is now the case
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-08-24

The local option campaign closed last night with a whirlwind finish. with both sides claiming the victory The features of the day were the big meet ings held last night in Birmingham. The Jefferson was full of men to hear the joint debate between c. P. Beddow ana P. G. Bowman, while an equally large crowd was at the Bijou to hear Captain Hobson and other prohibition speakers make the final speeches of the cam paign. An overflow meeting which 1iiea the Orpheum theatre was addressed py local optionists.
 Another feature of the day was the issuance of a lengthy statement by Walker Percy declaring himself Tn favor of dispensaries. He thinks the Smith bill puts too much power into the executives hands in naming the excise commissioners.
 pr. R. M. Cunningham also came out with 11:45 announcement that ne IS against regulated saloons and In sym pathy with the Saloon Opposition
