My husband and ] had been work.
ing for some time educating the peas
antry In Russia and had the good luck
to escape the police. Our work was
done by means of matter written,
printed and distributed all In secret.
SO long as we had no traitors among
us we felt comparatively safe. And
since we were all doing the work as
a matter Of duty the only danger from
traitors was that some spy should come
among us for the express purpose Of
betraying us. The other dangers were
that the police should get word Of our
depots of supplies or intercept the mat
ter while leaving our hands.
One day went TO the main depot to
get some matter ready for shipment.

GENERAL RUCKER'S LETTER
Sends Data to Underwood on Ship
 Subsidy Question

Gen. E.. ". Fucker Shas written the following open letter addressed to Con gressman Underwood:
 Birmingham. September '. l9li. Hon Oscar W. Underwood.
 My Dear Sir. With your army of friends, united in commenting your mas- terly service rendered the nation at the recent congressional session: we naturally expect much from you in future; hence, we ask, what next?
 "A valued friend writes me. which I quote without comments, for your consid- erstlon, as follows:
 $" We Americans growl at England. Germany and Japan doing the ocean freight transportation of the United States; hence cities of above nations are enriched at our expense by their sub sidized ships.
 ]" Are our statesmen more wise than those of foreign powers by failure to subsidize ships; it seems they claim to krow it all in this matter-hence we are buildings the Panama canal for the ben eft alone of foreign subsidized ships. Our neighbor little Canada has subsidized ships running to Mexico, Cuba and South America cutting us out of business which naturally belongs to us Is 1t not timo for this idiotic policy on the part of our legislators to stop? Why not suggest to Mir Underwood these conditions. frame and pass a just subsidy ship bill.
 ITO do this will mean ship yards in southern ports to build ships of Alabama and Tennessee iron; let us be consistent. as we are not in many sections. In Louls- jana, when ship subsidy is named-'tis an outrage, will be howled. but don't touch our subsidized rice and sugar; in Florida. don't touch our fruits, etc.
 ''If the democratic party is to last 1t must get down to business-cut loose from some antiquated ideas, and realize the fact that conditions change; 1861 is not 1911 Let it no longer be known as the construction party" as styled by some. when first it opposed the interocean ca- nal, and national quarantine bills. the passage of which has stamped out yels low fever
 ''As stated, l give you above matter without comments. for your confederation Very respectfully. E. W. FUCKER"

HELP ADVERTISE
 b|G STATE FAIR Thousands of Invitations Sent Out By Local Indus
 trial Concerns

The spirit of cooperation aroused
 among the leading commercial and indus
 trial concerns in Birmingham by the Ala
 bama state fair, which will throw open
 it's gates for the entertainment and
 amusement of thousands of visitors on | the 9th of October. is producing actual re- suits in many quarters, and it is appar- ent that every energy will be exerted to
 make the coming exposition Digger,
 brighter, and better' than usual. Not | only that, but there will be the largest attendance that has ever been recorded
 in the history of the fair. The advertising of the Alabama state fair Is on a larger scale this year than
 heretofore, and the active assistance
 which the various firms of Birmingham
 are, lending is augmenting the force of the advertising visibly.
 Moore & Handley, a large wholesale hardware firm, sent out TOGO circular let ters last week. inviting the recipients to | come to Birmingham during the "big 1 state fair
 l Other firms which have done the same
 thing are the Doster-Northingto Drug
 company, and the Southern Wescot Sup ply company, the latter firm having just completed mailing out over 5000 circu- | lars.
 Early in the summer an enormous quantity of envelopes advertising the Ala | bama fair were printed for use by local firms Nearly every concern of any size in the city has used them, and it is estl-
 mated that over half a million state fair
 envelopes were used. These envelopes have been addressed to correspondents In
 every section of the entire world. and the
 scheme has been pronounced one of the
 most effective, and at the same time. | least expensive, mediums that has oeen
 used by the publicity department.
 Many other firms are using a postscript
 to every letter leaving their offices, most
 of them using simply the legend, Re
 member the Alabama state fair, Birming-
 ham, October 5-14."
 Many others are using the catchy phrase, Meet us at the Alabama state fair October 9th next as the postscript
 This little item, when written thousands
 of times each day, as is the case, is reaching large number of people who
 might not be interested in any other way.
 A few weeks ago little green slip,
 plainly worded, with a message from the Alabama state fair, was prepared and 50.- 900 copies printed for the use of the va | rious firms displaying active interest, as envelope filters. The original supply of | these slips has been almost exhausted | already. as applications for them have 1 been received from unexpected numbers of applicants.
 1 With these evidences of the active n- terest which Is being shown in every
 quarter, 1t is felt by all interested that the ambition of the state fair manage
 ment. of which B. B. Burton is president, and F. P. Chaffee secretary, to secure the largest attendance ever recorded in this state for any event, will be at tained.

CANNOT FURNISH
 HOME FOR BOARD Board of Revenue Has No Authority to Rent Quar-
 ters for Excisemen

Judge John II. Miller. attorney for the Jefferson county Board of Revenue. yes terday morning rendered his opinion that the board Is, not required by law to pro- else commission MT. Miller states that the Smith bill makes no provision regard ing the place of meeting of the commis- sion, and that there Is no statute under the provisions of which the Board of Revenue is authorized to go outside of the courthouse and rent offices for the commission.
 'The Smith bill makes no provision for place of meeting for the commission, said Judge Mller and provides only for the contingent expenses of the excise com mission which are to be paid out of the $l0 deposited with the commission with each application for license. The mem- bers of the excise commission are clear ly county officers, but unless the statute provides for a place for county officers, no duty rests on the Board of Revenue or court of county commissioners to provide place for them.
 q am satisfied that a place could be provided for the excise commission in the courthouse of Jefferson county, as little space would be required, and good and suitable room might be found for them. the Board of Revenue for this county having the disposition of the rooms and space in the courthouse. Certainly this expense should not fall on the excise com mission. Suitable arrangements can no doubt be made for them either in the city hall or in the courthouse"

NEW POINT RAISED
 BY DR. DICKINSON
Claims Majority of Quail fled Voters" Must Decide
 on Issuing Licenses

A letter to the excise commission has been addressed by the Rev Dr. A. J. Dickinson of this city asking that the The letter of Dr. Dickinson is an interpre- tation to the effect that if the commits sioners enforce that section no saloons can be authorized unless a majority of the qualified voters of the county pass upon them.
 Regarding the letter the excise com mssioners simply said: we have noth- ing to say"
 The letter of Dr. Dickinson follows: ITO the Excise Commission of Jefferson
 County:
 Gentlemen: You will see in section 9i of the Smith bill the following language: Provided, that no license shall issue and no dispensary shall be established in any incorporated town or city in this state unless the manufacture, sale or other dis position of spirituous, vinous or malt liquors is authorized by a majority vote of the qualified voters of the county in which such towns or cities are located
 If the vote here referred to is that au- thorized in the Parks bill and cast under the provisions of that bill in the recent local option election "a majority vote of the qualified voters of the county was not cast in favor of such manufacture, sale, etc.. for there are 15,OO0 qualified voters in this county according to the rec ords of the probate judge and it would re- quire 7505 to be majority thereof, where ft z such sale.
 If, however, the authorization here referred to is intended as a sine quo non of granting license, and must be secured as condition prerequisite to the excise commission granting such license it will now be necessary for each applicant to secure the authority of majority of the qualified electors before the commission can issue the same. l wish to call your attention to this provision of the law and insist it be enforced in each case Very truly yours. A. J. DICKINSON"
 It is said to tbe the intention of pr. Dickinson and others to see that the sec tion is interpreted by court of compe- tent jurisdiction before the excise com mission shall grant any licenses. Eminent attorneys of the city in some instances believe it is utterly absurd 10 place the Interpretation upon the section which is placed by pr. Dickinson. Others, it Is understood, are of different opinion.
 It is gathered that some serious consid- eraton will be given the communication and public announcement made as .to that point by the excise commission or attorneys representing them.
