Bob Dexter looked ut the trio Of
happy faces in the glow of the fire:
the yellow corn was putting into nuffy
balls and the fragrance OF fresh.
roasted corn permeated the room The
picture stamped itself indelibly on
Dexter's mind. especially the profile Of
the girl beside him. Her delicate face
was clear cut like cameo among he
shadows. She glanced around and
met the unguarded look In his eyes
and a flush not caused by the fire
mounted her cheeks. BY way OF COW
ering his embarrassment she handed
him her pepper.
Here" she said. you are doing
nothing-pop awhile"
He took the long handle, touching
her hand In the transfer.
So intent was the quartette and so
far had the memories escaped into he
home land that they did not hear the
soft voice OF the maid when She an
nounced dinner.

Beet Season Closed

Last Monday evening witnessed the
closing of the sugar beet shipping sea-
son for the present year. The dumps
are now dismantled and will remain
idle until next year. We are informed
by those posted that about all the
oects were got out Of the ground and
shipped in good shape. Tuesday of
last week the factory at Sugar City
paid out to the growers Of this section
$4,000. The first pay day at the
Rocky Ford factory netted the growers
there $3.50, 900 and the Swink factory
recently paid out $l5O,OOO, making a
total of over half million dollars
placed in the hands OF growers In this
section of the valley. Verify, the
sugar beet is good thing for the
farmers in the Arkansa, valley. and
taken together with the cantaloupes
and alfalfa raised around here, not to
mention other farm products and live
stock. honey, cucumbers, ETC., are
likely to make the hornyhanded sons
of the soil stoop shouldered figuring
up their bank balances.
1t may be mentioned in this con.
ncction that next season an unloading
device will be added to the equipment
of the Sugar City factory similar to
that used at the Ordway, Numa and
King Center dumps, thus doing away
with the hand work heretofore used.

We'll Known Men Will Be Heard At Big Meeting To Be Held
 At BijOu

A record breaking crowd is expected at the Bjou atheatre tonight when Peyton G. Bowman and other well known speakers will address the voters of Jef- ferson county on the local option ques- tion. The meeting was called at the in- stance of nearly 600 citizens of the coun- ty who presented a petition to Col. Bow man, requesting him to make an address on this question. Col. Bowman accepted the invitation and invited B. G. Farmer, w. M Howard and Leon McCord to speak from the same platform with him.
 All these gentlemen are well known and speakers of note and the meeting prom ises to be one of much interest.
 It Is stated that this movement was started by the friends and admirers of Col Bowman, who are bearing all the expenses. It will be remembered that a similar movement was started during the amendment campaign and that the suc- cess of the former meetings prompted tho one tonight
 While Col. Bowman will make the prin- cipal speech, the other gentlemen will also be heard with much interest. The speaking will commence at 8 o'clock.

COLONEL WEISS AND HIS GUl.

One of the most popular officers of the National Guard, and one that has ac- quired much distinction in the service of the state is Lieut.. Col. W. E. Weiss of Montgomery.
 He is attending the rifle shoot at the range at Broyles. and by virtue of his thorough knowledge of the game will go with the Alabama team to Camp Perry in the capacity of coach.
 Having won his spurs on the rifle range by reason of his excellence as a marks han, and having had the honor on sev- eral occasions to represent his state at the national shoot, he is eminently fitted for the honorable and responsible posi- ton to which he has been assigned
 Colonel Weiss has another distinction, that is having won his way to his pres ent high rank by virtue of merit From private to lieutenant colonel In few years Is going some. His friends claim for him the proud distinction of being the youngest colonel in the state. but on this subject Colonel Billy is strangely silent
 Next to his love for military affairs is his regard for creature comforts, and as an epicure has also attained high rank. Dan Hudson says he is the rankest chef of commissary that he ever soldiered un- der.
 Like all notables he has a speciality: he revels In soup, and gumbo soup at that. For a man of his size and weight 1t is simply remarkable how much of the slip
  away. At all times he Is ready for his favorte dish. When a man calls for gumbo soup for breakfast, gumbo for lunch. gumbo for dinner and then asks for gumbo as a midnight lunch it might truthfully be said that while the colonel was not 'in the soup," the soup cer- tainly was in him.

259 ARRESTS ARE
 MADE EACH MONTH
For Violation of Prohibition Law-Total 1889 During
 Commission Regime

Examination of the records of the Birmingham police department and the recorders court bring to light inter- esting figures in regard to the prohi- bition law.
 Since the commissioners assumed the government of the city on the morning of April there have been 1889 arrests made by the police department for vio- lating the prohibition law.
 According to the record an average of 259 arrests for this offense have been made every month or S.6 arrests made every day since the commission CTS went into office. These figures do not include the arrests made during the first eight days of April which would bring the averages up to 260 arrests for the month and nine for the day.
 Of the 1889 arrests made 645 convic- tions were secured by the arrestfng of- ficers. The percentage of convictions for the four months Is 62 and frac- ton :,
 Perhaps the most startling fact of all is that of the 645 convictions se cured 5ss appealed to the higher courts and trial by jury There remain but 107 who have either paid their line or worked out the sentence.
 A feature of the situation Is the in creasing number of white women who are arrested and convicted of selling liquor. The past month Is a fair ex- ample, it is stated at police headquar- ters. and the following is the propor- ton: Total arrests 325, white males 150, white females IS, black males 123, black females 35.
 It is interesting to note also the pro- portion of arrests for disorderly con- duct and drunk. It is stated at police headquarters that these two offenses are closely linked with violating the prohibition law and are often a direct result of the violation. The figures are as follows:
 Disorderly Conduct-Total arrests, 1I57, total convictions, 76S, percentage of convictions, e6: drunk, total arrests, s7l, total convictions, 339, percentage of conviction, 91.
 The total number of arrests for the four months for the three offenses' Is 2566 which is slightly more than one third the total arrests for the time.
 The figures at glance and by months are as follows:

place earlier than usual in such cases. The scars of the long drawn out fight for the position which was followed by the appointment of Judge Montgomery have not healed and 1t is expected a warm and uncompromising fight will ersue.
 It was rumored so early as yesterday that likely appointees were James Bow ron, N. L. Steele, Frank Lathrop and others. However. none of the republican leaders here yesterday would discuss the proposition out of respect for the late postmaster.
 It is said that under the recent agree ment in Washington between the Thomp- son followers and the Barker adherents, in the case of extraordinary developments appointments would be made through the regular channels. That being the case Joseph O. Thompson in Birmingham would have some influence in getting the appointment here in this instance. No comment was made by him yesterday. The chances are that the republican lead CTS will get together and have an ap- pointment made before the proposed meeting of the state committee this month.

 This is the strongest possible evide, ! rot only of the political weakness of | opposition, but of the fact that proh tion has proven a complete failure, sF that all people are acquainted with | fact.
 "A dispensary, like prohibition, | theory. The liquor problem is a prat one, and must be solved in a prac manner.

Difference .............S 67,0O0. .0J
 Tt may also be interesting to note that the intangible taxes of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company exceed by over $1,000,000 the aggregate intangible tax of all street railroads, all electric light companies and all gas companies in every city. town and hamlet In the state of Ala bama, although the combined gross re- ceipts of the others exceed the gross receipts of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 'The state tax commission increased the assessment of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to $S,b49,640. If this assessment is up- held by the court and jury of this county it will mean that the Birming- ham Railway Light and Power com pany must pay to the governments un- der which 1t does business the enor- nous sum of over $700 every day in the year.
 This amount, when compared with sim liar conditions, is practically double the amount Of any southern city, and is prac- tically double the average ratio of taxes to receipts throughout the whole United States.
 There are only ten counties in the state whose total value of real and personal property. according to the last report of the state tax commission. exceeds the assessed value of this companys prop erty. Those counties are Jefferson, Mo bic, Montgomery, Calhoun, Dallas, Tus- caloosa, Walker. Etowah. Madison and Talladega
 The raise in the assessment amounts to an annual increase of approximately $S9 600, making the oompany's total year ly taxes and licenses s266, ,792. The pro- rosed taxes and licenses are as follows;
