TICKET SALES
 HEAVY IN 1910

The railroad ticket agents were en- gagged yesterday in compiling the pas- senger receipts for the year, which end ed Saturday. And when the examina- ton is through it is believed one Of the largest gross sales in the history of local companies will be shown.
 During the past year there have been many events here and elsewhe ere which have caused more travelling than per- haps ever in the history of this city. And with travelling the passenger re- ceipts of the various companies have gone upward with remarkable rapidity.
 At the present time there Is no avail able channel through which the exact data could be gained as to the revenue secured here through passenger sales. But the best opinion Is that at no tsmo In recent years has the revenue from passenger sales been quite 80 good as during the year which died with the whistles Saturday night
 The Frisco. Louisville and Nashville, Southern. Ilinois Central. Atlanta. Bir- mingham and Atlantic have all been abundantly patronized during 1910, and to such an appreciable extent that new passenger trains have been put on bJ most-of the railroads.

CIGAR STRIKERS
 CAUSING TROUBLE

Tampa. Fla. January IA meeting of striking cigar makers held at the labor temple today was dispersed by Mayor Mckay and a body of police who went to the scene to prevent dis order. Speeches of an alleged incendi- ary nature were being made when the mayor became convinced that trouble would result if the meeting were al lowed to continue. The leaders were searched to see if they had concealed weapons and a few arrests were made, the strikers then returning to their homes
 Automobiles filled with armed citi- zens went to the scene of today's meet ing to assist the police if needed but were not called on.
 The citizens committee later held q meeting at which arrangements were made to prevent intimidation of those returning to work and the members will be on hand tomorrow morning to preserve order.

WOODLAWN WILL
 OPEN ITS LIBRARY

The Woodlawn branch of the Bir- mingham public library will be opened to the public of Woodlawn and vicinity tonight at o'clock, when addresses will be made by Dr. ! II. Philips superintendent of schools, and pr. John l.. Parker of the Board of Educa- ton.
 The branch was established six years ago as an independent library by the Womans club of Woodlawn, under whose care it has grown to its pres ent size of 1000 volumes. The read ing room of the library will be very attractive feature. It will be well fur nished with velvet carpets, comfortable chairs and tables, and will have 1S periodicals The reading room will be kept open at night, if present plans ma terialize, and gentlemen will be al lowed to smoke This latter privilege Is extended by many northern libraries, and 1t Is believed that it will make the Woodlawn library doubly attractive to the men and boys.
 The members of the Woman's club deem it best to place the library under the control of the Birmingham Board of Education and make a branch of the Birmingham public library, as it is thought the library will prove of more public benefit in that way. well at tended celebration is expected for to- night.

PASSENGERS HAD
 NO HOLIDAY MEAL

To be travelling on New Years day or Christmas is sufficient to cause pessimism from ordinary persons, but to be deprived of dinner on that day is even worse. However, this fate was meted ,out to passengers on the Bir- mingh am special en route to Birming ham yesterday over the Southern rail- way.
 The train left Atlanta on time and was speeding this way finely. But as Lithia Springs, Ga., was reached the diner was found to have a hot box, and the machinist refused to permit any further progress on its journey 10 Bir- mingham. The passengers were pre- pared to enjoy one of the good dinners provided by the Southern and their dis appointment may be ina gined when the news was gently broken to them that no New Years dinners could be served.
 The diner was left at Lithia Springs, but the passengers were given an op- portunity to eat at way station on the line.
 The train, on account of the acci- dent to the most vital part of the equip ment at meal time, was about one hour and 30 minutes late In reaching this city.

ROME CITIZEN
 PRAISES THE CITY

After absenting himself from Birming- ham for 10 years Robert Rounseville, a prominent business man of Rome, Ga.' was here yesterday engaged in closing up some affairs connected with this city. He was very much impressed with the marvellous changes that have been made here in that short length of time ana when accompanied about the city by some friends he remarked upon the old structures which have been given over to skyscrapers and office buildings.
 He said that Birmingham had changed more, and made more progressive ad- vances since his last visit here than any city that had ever been visited by him.
 ''When I was last here, the old Dude saloon stood on the First National bank corner, and the first office building was the Lynn corner. where the Brown Marx building is now located. The changes which are too numerous to men, tion have been more marvellous than any thing one can point to as a possible parallel. I have heard great deal of Birmingham during the past few years ana InlS clty Has uIdWH run ihs Hoiii0 town some substantial young men. who all seem to be making good here in va rious lines of business. I am very glad that some of our people are residents of place where there seems to be so much future and where the possibilities for success are seemingly without num- ber Tn all other cities the greatness of Birmingham is on every tongue. The re- port of the census enumerators sent a widespread wave of advertising of Bir- mingham over the country. And you may take 1t from me, the people over In

VIADUCT MATTER
 TO BE SETTLED

The City Council will this week settle the viaduct question by either accepting the proposition which has been formulated or turning it down.
 This action is perhaps the most i'm portant to the city that has been pend- ing for long while. While the closing of certain streets will no doubt be strenuously opposed the fact that some of the strongest men on the board and Mayor Exum favor the plan as whole will add to its passage.
 A mass meeting of interested property owners Is scheduled for tonight in the courthouse, while other persons interes.- ed will appear before the viaduct com nllttee al its meeting either today or to- morrow.
