A Wise Decision.

The Herald congratulates the Com
mercial club OF Montesano upon its
decision 10 abandon the proposed jol-
iication upon the occasion OF the ded-
ication OF the new court house. and to
devote the money and energy toward
aiding the coming county fair.
The decision is wise one. A large
majority Of the people OF Chehalis
county have no feeling OF jollity over
the new building. The feeling is the
other way when applications for roads
necessary TO the development Of the
county are turned down for want OF
funds. The Herald has no desire TO
awaken the rancor that the erection
OF this building engendered. but is
convinced that an attempt 10 Jol!ify
at its dedication would have resulted
far differently from what the project
ors anticipated. The court house is
built and must be paid for but the feel
ing exists that had the old building
been made 10 serve the ten-year per
iod. that we were informed in 1906 it
was good for, and its cost spent upon
new roads, it would be safe TO say the
development OF Chehalis county would
have been advanced ten years.
This is not written in spirit OF
complaint. We have the building.
willy nilly, and must put up with the
consequences, bur, really, it is little
raw 70 ask the citizenship OF the
county to join in celebrating as rank
a piece OF disagreement as can be
found within the confines OF the ma.
ton.

FINE ATTENDANCE
 AT WESLEY CHAPEL
Revival Being Conducted By Pastor and Evangelist Hendrix Is
 Very Successful

The meeting at Wesley chapel is growing in interest at every service and there is every reason to believe that 1t will prove one of the greatest evangelistic efforts in the history of the church. The pastor is ably assisted by Rev. w. R. Hendrix, who arrived yesterday morning and preached great sermon to most appreciative congregation. ~ L4.
 The music Is under the direction of the Wesley chapel choir, which Is well known for its splendid singing. The entire official board is enlisted and the membership at large is expectant and active. The pastor insists that the peo- pie from all parts of the city come out and hear the inspiring messages of the gifted man who Is doing the preaching and taking part in this special effort.

BUSINESS COLLEGES WILL
 PROTEST AGAINST LICENSE

warm interest since being taken up. The matter arose over an application of q barber college for a refund of license paid because 1t was in the nature of an educational institution. It was point ed out that business colleges escaped. This did not suit the fancy of the com missioners and 1t was decided to tax all of them, while denying the petition of the barber college.
 The commissioners drafted an ordinance graduating the scale to be paid and adopted it.
 It is gathered that this question will develop into one of the warmest yet ba- fore the commissioners. MT. Wood clear ly indicated yesterday that the colleges would resist the payment of the license. Such an attitude will call for a fight, as the commissioners are as unit in believing that the business colleges should pay their part toward. lifting the city burden. It is claimed that all of them are operated for a gain and in no spirit of uplifting the downtrodden or educat. ing the unenlightened

The Tennessee legislators spent an uneventful day yesterday.

FORM BLACK BELT FAIR ASSOCIATION Five Counties Are in the
 Deal A DEMOPOLIS IDEA E. R. Berry Tells of Project in Which Marengo, Sumter, Green, Hale. and Perry Counties Are
 Interested

Demopolis has begun to loom up among the most progressive towns ol Alabama Her most recent claim to greatness in the formation Of 1air association to be known as "The BLACK Belt Fair association which has been effected in view of the state legisla- tures recent appropriation for fair eel ebrations to stimulate increased agrl- cultural development.
 The leading business men or De- mopolis according to the information from E. R. Berry, who was in BIT min gham yesterday, did not hesitate 10 avail themselves of the approprlatioSi' and no sooner was it known that tue bill providing such had been passeu than they got together and organized the "Black Belt Fair association Col. N. J. Winn was elected temporary pres ident of the organization, E. R. Berry was made secretary and w. 'S. Prout was selected as treasurer. t.
 The association will embrace five counties, namely. Marengo, Sumter Green, Hale and Perry. and each or these will be represented by stockhold- CTS as well as by exhibits during the celebra ton. The original stock with
 which the association was begun was $5000 each share being worth $l0. Later the capital stock will be increased to s15O0O and afterwards perhaps to $25,- c00 The farmers In all five counties will be asked to take stock in the as- sociation.
 Mir Berry stated yesterday that Colonel Vim, president of the asso-
 citation, owns. a fine tract of land which contains already a splendid race track. and that he will give this over to he utilized by the fair association. In speaking of the organization of the fair association IT. Berry took oc-
 casion to lay much credit for the same

 "This is only one of the many results
 of their activities" he said, and the league Is largely responsible for nearly all of the developments that are brought about in our town. They are at present raising a fund with which to build a mile of model roads for dem onstration purposes and all of the ma terial Is to be furnished locally. "The Business league brought their influence to bear greatly on the prop osition of new depot which the Southern railway was asked to build, and the prospects are good for the early construction of the new building, which will cost $45,O00 when com pleted"

HIGH SOUTHERN
 OFFICIALS HERE Finley and Vice President Andrews, Coapman and
 Spencer in the Party

Headed by President W. w Finley of the Southern Railway company a party of executive officials and direc- tors of that line reached Birmingham last night at o'clock. They arrived on a special train operated as a second section of the Birmingham Special.
 The officials are merely making an annual inspection of the properties which has been delayed until this period. They will be here today and will perhaps arrange to make trip over the interior of the state before re- turning to their homes.
 The party includes President Finley, Col. A. B. Andrews, vice president; E. H. Coapman, vice president and general manager; Henry B. Spencer, vice pres ident; D. w. Lum, chief engineer main tenance of way. and other officials.
 In the party also is Fairfax Harrison, president of the Monon route. who reached here later to join the Southern railway officials.
 The directors in the party are G. F. Baker of New York, Charles Steele of New York, and S. M. Inman of Atlanta.
 They were joined here by l.. Sevier, general agent for the executive depart ment, who was in consultation with the officials last night. No formal an nouncement was made as to the extent of the trip or its purpose further that it was in regular line with past in spections and therefore routine.
 MT. Finley said the inspection had been decided upon at this time for va rious reasons. He said also that busi- ness was seemingly rather staunch de- spite the apparent dullness in some few lines.
 MT. Finley said he would be back in Birmingham within few days to attend the national convention here of good roads enthusiasts.

JUDGE LANE STUDIES | VIADUCT AGREEMENT
Has No Statement to Make Regard ing His Views at Present

That he is studying carefully the viaduct agreement between the railroad officials and the city council and that he has no further comment to make upon 1t, was the statement of Judge A. o. Lane, associate commissioner. when asked yesterday about that much discussed proposition.
 Inasmuch as the viaduct matter has been boiled down to such point that Judge Lane only has the final say as to the agreement, his action and inclnations are awaited with keen interest.
 As stated heretofore, MT. Exum favors the agreement, having fought for it's pas sage by the legislature, James Weatherly will decline to vote by reason of his for mer employment by the Southern railway and Judge Lane is the sole arbiter of the question.

PORTER COMPANY
 TOREM0DEL STORE
Practically the Entire h. terior Will Be Finished
 in Plate Glass

The Porter Clothing company announces the closing of a contract which, when executed, will have completely rehtted the big salesrooms on First avenue.
 Plans have been drawn for perhaps the most unusual store interior in the south. It is planned to have the entire store of glass wherever practical and to install the latest and most improved cabinets. panels, dressing rooms and other fea- lures, all of glass.
 The plans as announced contemplate the installation of revolving wall cab inet, all of glass, for the storage. of hats, which, will increase the space of that department and insure the. maximum of cleanliness and convenience. e.. Sliding trays will be arranged for neck wear, hosiery, and other merchandise. They will all be of glass.
 Plate glass mirrors will be placed in alcoves and dressing rooms, which, with the other blending decorations. will great ly add to the charm and beauty of the store.
 H. tJ.s Porter, head of the firm, said yesterday that the improvements, he be- lieved, would place his store at the top for real beauty and that it would be a place that any Birmingham citizen would be proud to show to visitors. He said the matchless properity of this dis trict had assisted him in making sue cess of his business since establishing here in 1904 and that as the district ad- vanced in netropolitanism he desired his store to show the same advances.
 Architects already engaged will have charge of the refitting of the Porter store work upon which will begin soon..

It's contents will not be given out before they shall have been read officially to the people of Tennessee, and the solons say now that 1t is their intention to deliver the statement upon their return as they an- ticipate next Saturday.
 The legislators all say that they still continue to enjoy their sojourn in the Magic City and they were not troubled by the printed dispatch from Nashville telling of the action of the regulars in withdrawing their per diem for the time they have been in Alabama. They merely venture that such action is un- generous inasmuch as they granted a per diem to the regular democrats and republicans who failed to show up for 10 days after the organization of the legislature.

THOMPSON TRIAL
 DRAWS BIG CROWD
Defense Is. Attempting to Show That Killing Was
 Continuous Affair"

Thie trial of Robert W. Thompson, charged with killing Ebert W. Rob crtson about two years ago in Hous- mans pharmacy, was not completed yesterday afternoon as was expected and the case went over until this morn ing at 9:30 o'clock when the attorneys for the defense hope to introduce one or two witnesses who were not avail able yesterday. NsAsa 7
 The public has begun to manifest a good deal of interest in the proceedings and yesterday the court room was well filled with spectators. The evidence in the case tends to show that the af- fair grew out of jealousy between the defendant, Thompson, and Robertson deceased, because of a young woman to whom both were attentive.
 The defendants counsel is making a strong effort to show that he had been reviled and intimiated by the de- ceased Robertson, and later enticed to Capitol park where he was set upon and severely beaten by the deceased and friends, and that a short while afterward he chanced to meet the de-
  the latter cursed and threatened him and thus precipitated the killing.
 The attorneys for the defense have made repeated attempts to introduce all the incidents preceding the kill ing to show, as they claim, the mo tive for the killing" in the light of a continuous affair, but the court has ruled out such evidence immaterial, The defendant himself took the stand yesterday afternoon but testified prac- tjcally to nothing further than was brought out at the former trial,
 The trial has progressed rather slow ly. but it is practically assured that it will be finished this moring. A num- Ter of friends of the defendant were in the court room during yesterday and expressed their belief that he would be acquitted.

On the grounds that a license charged business colleges is unconstitutional, d contest will in all probability be started by those institutions in this city against the action of the commissioners in fix ing a schedule.
 Sterling Wood, as attorney for the com- bined business colleges here. addressed letter to the commissioners yesterday which did not reach them until the ord- inance had been passed. In 1t he said the colleges were educational institutions and requested the commission to fix a time for the business colleges to submit. data in this respect
 The claim will perhaps be made that as churches, cemeteries and educational institutions are exempted from taxation by the constitution that the act of the Birmingham commissioners was illegal. In his letter yesterday MT. Wood said the colleges did not admit that the cont missioners had the right to tax them.
 He aded yesterday afternoon in per- son that such an act was not constitu- tional, as 1t was expressly provided that institutions should not be taxed, as col leges, churches and cemeteries were not.
 The question has been featured by
