ATKINSON LAUDS
 THE RECENT DEAL Merger With Woodward Go.
 Very Important SECOND IN WEALTH
Thinks Possibilities for Development of New Giant Concern Are Prac- tically Unlimit ed-Pleased
 With Business

That he considered the Woodward Iron company and the Birmingham Coal and Iron company merger the most im- portant industrial deal ever trans acted in Birmingham, excepting the Steel corporation entrance here, was the statement of Harry NJ. Atkinson. of the latter company and president of | the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic l railroad
 | He is in Birmingham attending the l hearing before Interstate Commerce Examiner J. Edgar Smith and when re- | leased from the witness stand yester- l day spoke with unusual enthusiasm ,, over the industrial situation here. MT. Atkinson, who negotiated for his com pany in the trade between the two companies. said that a reorganization would take place within a short time of the Woodward Iron company. He said that the company holding the prop critics of both companies would retain the name of the Woodward Iron com pany. Attorneys, according to MT. At-s kinson, in New York for the Birming ham Coal and Iron company and attor- neys in Birmingham for the Woodward Iron company are now at work perfect ing the details of the trade MT. Atkinson said the two companies combined held coal and ore lands of vast wealth in this district with sup ply almost inexhaustible and from the resources at their command there was scarcely no limit to it's possible indus- trial accomplishments. He said that ( | and Iron company fit into the other in dustrial corporation most fortunately and that the close proximity of raw materials made the combination second only to the Tennessee company n'the Birmingham district.
 MT. Atkinson will be director of the new Woodward Iron company when the reorganization is effected. MT. Atkinson said he was still greatly interested in the Birmingham district and would do all in his power to further the interests of this district. wherein he has been active for sev- eral years. He strongly discounted the proposition that his interest here would be reduced by reason of the consolida- tion of the two companies. On the
 
 that he would be in the closest touch with Birmingham developments.
 President Atkinson said the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, which is one of the best constructed lines entering Birmingham, was still doing a good business and that in his opinion October would show a large improvement over the month preced- ing and the same month in 1910 had bpen proved to he correct
 He said the industrial situation looked very bright taking all things into consideration, and that the forth coming holiday season looked to be the most hopeful in this country in some time.
 He will be here the remainder of this week perhaps in connection with the case being tried in the federal court building. He Is very deeply interested in getting the officials to confirm the tariff filed by the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic with the Birmingham Southern railroad.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Vote At Pastors Meeting

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In your account of the action of the Pastors union of this date in regard to no announcements of religious services in our public schools you state: "Dr. A. K. Moore made a vigorous objection, and on vote being taken the second and third section was stricken out and the first section adopted by the close vote of 19 to 1S." I beg to say this Is a mistake. The first section was adopted by a tremendous majority. The two sections were defeated "by the close vote of 19 to 18," the chairman voting with those opposing adoption of the latter resolutions. With refer ence to "Dr. Moore's vigorous objec- tion," I have the statement from his own lips that he is opposed to the pol icy of no announcements of religious services and If he is assured that is the policy of the powers that be he will stand for the proper authorities giving their reasons therefor. Dr.. Moore voted for the adoption of the first resolution, as did at least three fourths of the body.

PLEASED BY
 TUESDAYS ELECTION RESULTS

Congressman Oscar w. Underwood was decidedly pleased with the results of Tuesdays elections.
 ''It was especially gratifying" said MT. Underwood, that the most decisive dem- ocratic victories were in Kentucky and Massachusetts, where the tariff was made the paramount issue. It shows that the voters approve the partys attitude on this issue. I think the result in these two states may be taken as an indication of the sentiment of the nation. The result

Bad Compilations
 Removed By Absorption
tFrom Happy Homes)


 It was discovered not long ago that ordinary mercolized wax had the power to absorb an old, faded or discolored compleXion--or more literally, the old cutcle. or outer skin--revealing the fresher, healthier under skin, blooming with the pink of life and the glow of youth. The dead and half-dead cuticle comes off so gradually, in fine, flour like flakes, that there is no pain, no discomfort and no detention from one's everyday duties Of course such troubles as chaps, Nfreckles, moth patches, liver spots and fine lines go with the dis- carded skin.
 Mercolized wax, whicn druggists gem erally have in stock, should be spread over the face at night before retiring. in the manner cold cream is used. In the morning it should be washed off with warm water. followed by . dash of cold water.

WHAT THE CITIZENS SAY
 ABOUT 1O-YEAR CONTRACT
Age Herald Invites Discussion of Question Now Pending Be fore the City Commission-Some Expressions
 Made Yesterday

M H. Mcdowell, former alderman from the 16th ward when asked about the pro- posed contract made the following statc- ment "The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company is a great corpora tion, and has done as much as any other agency to build up the city and the dis trict. It has been a pioneer in develop ment, and while some of it's policies may be wrong, it does not permit the con- stant hectoring and denuneiation of sen sationallsts and self seeking politicians who can only get the public ear by abus- ing something or somebody.
 'The city commissioners are fair men and should make a contract covering every phase of the matter that would be just to the people and equitable to tue company. The city and the company should get together, and I believe the right steps are being taken that will bring about negotiations that promise results
 Jere c. King. attorney: q have not it I would be opposed to so long con- tract as 10 years in these days when things are changing so rapidly.
 'In the first place the cent car fare is no concession. That is forced by The Tldewater line which will be giving Ems lew cent fare in the spring. Big things are going on in the state now and we do not want to tie our hands for too long 9 period. We have a competi- s-t,,o not know but that we may have an abundance of natural gas which might change conditions, and out of all the ef- forts now being made to bring water power electricity to Birmingham some thing tangible is sure to result in the not distant future.
 ''In view of all these things I think it would be unwise to tie ourselves up for D years for some co-called concessions, which after all may come in a sh ort time without any such alternative"
 Col. Llewellyn Johns: ''It seems to me that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company should have the 10 3year contract, as they have agreed to make the Ensley cent fare reduction and the lights cheaper. These conces- sions on the part of the company are, in my opinion, worthy of a definite re- turn from the city, which would be the proposed contract"
 Felix Drennen of Drennen Co.,: q think the city should go slow before closing a contract for the term of 10 years with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. What might seem a reduction at the present time can easily develop into over charges of the future

ill Massachusetts, one of the greatest manufacturing sections of the country is especially significant.
 While l regret that the party received apparent setbacks in Maryland, New York ard New Jersey, these results were due in all three cases to local issues and are nc indication of the attitude of the voters toward the great national questions now up fer solution.
 Taken altogether, I think the results show the democratic party to be in much stronger position than ever."
