MAY NOT MAKE CUT
 AMONG SERGEANTS
Understood Weatherly Will Submit a Plan to Retain Them on
 the Force

The action of the city commissioners in Gischarging the police sergeants, to De- cc.ne effective October b, will be recind- cd. according to indications.
 Commissioner James Weatherly will su omit, it is said, a proposition to the Board of Commissioners Tuesday which will effect saving in~the city revenue sufficient to compensate the sergeants, who have spent many years gaining the two blue stripes indicating their posi- tions.
 The commissioners, led by President CuIpeuper Exum, are in favor of a bigger police department and fire department and they will exert every effort to give the citizens protection in every way While President Exum has not been &C., ouainted with the plan to save the city some money rather than discharge some old time employees, 1t is gathered that he will approve the plan of Commissioner Weatherly, as will Judge Lane. The plan of MT. Weatherly has not been made pub lie yet, ncr will it be until the meeting of the commissioners Tuesday. In a gem eral way, however, the plan is to save Sl5UU Tn SOHle Olner uepdrtIleHt, peIildpS MT. Weatherly's, and donate that amount to the extra money for the sergeants. It was never intended, it is announced, to discharge the sergeants from the service, out merely to reduce them in rank, which woulG cut their salaries considerably. The total cut as applied to the six men af-. fectod would have been approximately SleG0.

COMING HERE TO
 TAKE TESTIMONY
Interstate Commission to Determine Status of the Birmingham
 Southern

The interstate commerce commission has been called on to say whether the Birmingham Southern railroad is com mon carrier and to hear evidence on the question, an examiner of that court will be here November 6. Information to this effect was given in local railroad circles yesterday. For many years the initial lines here have declined to recognize the Birmingham Southern as a common car rer and from that position it is under stood that the company has lost large sum of money annually.
 The Birmingham Southern railroad serves the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company. The latter company owns the majority of stock in the railroad, However, 1t is maintained by the officials of the Birmingham Southern that their line has a regular tariff sheet, serves other industries and as a matter of fact over half the carriage of the Birmingham Southern is distinct from the industries Of the Tennessee company.
 The point at issue has come to the front on account of the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic recognizing the Bir- mingham Southern as a common carrier. The former company filed a tariff sheet pointing out the recognition which the in- terstatc commence commission promptly suspended for 90 days. The fight was thereupon launched.
 The controversy has long agitated local railroad circles and the talents of many noted railroad and industrial men have been used in an effort to settle the propo- sition.
 The examiner of the interstate com merce commission will perhaps consume several days getting evidence upon the n,ooted question.

TURN FAIR INTO
 STATE EXPOSITION
Association Has Met With Such Re- peated Success That the State
 Should Take It Over

It is probable that the merchants of Birmingham, who have nursed the spirit of a State Fair until it became a wonder full success in the effort of the last 10 days, will seek to have the annual event evolved into state exposition. A sug- gestion to this effect is contained in a few comments made by M. V. Joseph of Loveman, Joseph & Joseph, who has given his aid to the success of the Fair. He believes that the local merchants have shown how successful a fair may be, only with local effort.
 He says: "The grand success that has been made of the F air this year only lends strength to the idea of having the state take over this Fair and operate it upon broader and bigger scale. The suc- cesses of 1909-10 were thought to be the finale of fairs here. But during the past 10 days the 1911 Fair attained exposition size. I believe that the merchants who have struggled with the Fair association for 10 years or more should be relieved of that work and the state should take it over. In that way it would soon become an exposition to be recognized and boosted by the whole state"
