WILL HAVE TO CLOSE
DOWN CITY PLANTS
WELL INFORMED MEN THINK THAT
THE WATER AND LIGHT PLANTS
CANNOT DE OPERATED MUCH
LONGER

"One of the first acts of the commits
sion, if it is established as the ruling
government of Birmingham, will be to
close down the North Birmingham water
and light plants,' said a prominent citi-
zen yesterday, one who is considered
quite likely to be elected or. appointed to
the commission.
In fact it is known to be the majority
opinion of the aldermen that the plants
are worthless, and, in fact a farce, but
they will refuse to do what the people so
overwhelmingly voted down. While the
vote on the sale of the water and light
plants did not deny the council the right
to close them down, the aldermen are not
ready at this time to take such drastic
action. They have decided TO leave that
duty to the commission
The water committee is now making a
careful study of the Knowles report on
these plants. which recommends the alb
solute closing down of the plants and the
committee will act on it today, but moth
ing definite is expected. Whether small
sum of money will be spent on the plants
to tide them over to the new admins
tration is doubtful.

WILLIAMS BECOMES
COMMERCIAL AGENT
Travelling Agent for Queen and Cres-
cent Here Promoted to Position
In Office mt Indianapolis

1t was announced yesterday by the
Queen and Crescent route that Steven
A. Williams, travelling freight agent at
Birmingham, had been promoted to the
position of commercial agent at Indian
apolis, the appointment effective today.
His successor in the local field has not
been named yet, but his name will be
given out when e. T. Steele, freight traf-
fc manager, and l.. Sewer, general agent
of the Queen and Crescent, return to
the city. 1t is supposed that some of
the locally trained young men will receive
the berth.
Mr.. williams, who is well-llnown among
Industrial folk here. succeeded Edward
W. Mihm as. travelling freight agent
about eight months ago. Since that time
he has handled the position with rare
ability and is very popular among rail-
road men and the shippers of this district.
He will succeed in Indianapolis j. G.
Hill, who has been sent to Pittsburg as
commercial agent, the man at that place
being transferred to Cincinnati
This is the second promotion among
locally trained railroad men to larger
centers, which has been made here in the
last few days. The first was the promo
ton of Ed Fall to New York city. The
designation of locally trained men to the

sible position, will leave to morrow or

UNCLE REMUS and
RED RIDING HOOD
ON THE BLACK LIST
Sunday School Teachers Decide
They Are Improper Stories
for Children
SHOW THE TRIUMPH
OF EVIL OVER GOOD
Miss Kennedy Gives Examples of the
Striking Impressions stories Some
times Make on the Minds
of Children

The Sunday school teachers of the
Birmingham Sunday School association
yesterday morning put the ban on
Uncle Remus stories, and with one
voice declared that the story of Little
Red Riding Hood teaches a bad moral
and should not be told to little chill
dren.
They were holding the weekly meet
ing of the gi AIDED union, and in the
section for the study of story telling
about 100 teachers were listening to
Superintendent Miss Minnie Kennedy,
the leader.
what do the Uncle Remus stories
suggest?' asked Miss Kennedy.
Cunning and deceit" was the an
swer.
"Then they are bad" said Miss Ken
nedy, "for in the Uncle Remus stories
cunning and deceit always triumph.
What do you think?"
And all the teachers answered to-
gether. "They are bad"
When the discussion of Little Red
Riding Hood came up it was pointed
out that the suggestion is not good,
for Little Red Riding Hood, while on
an errand of mercy finds that her
grandparent has been gobbled up.
Therefore the teachers decided never TO
use such stories in their Sunday school
classes.
II never have allowed my children
to read the Uncle Remus Stories" said
the president of the graded union.
In the study of the story it was
brought out that its value is in sug-
gestion, which first arouses desire then
the will. and then initiative action.
Miss Kennedy related case where a
teacher, in trying to illustrate the evils
of cruelty, told how boy had skinned
frog alive and then emphasized how
cruel and heartless he had been.
THE next day" continued Miss Ken
nedy that community was being
secured by a score of boys in search
of frogs.
There was such an incident right
here in Birmingham. A public speaker
used an illustration of a boy who had
gotten in a buggy and driven away,
was arrested. and sent to the East Lake
Industrial school. A boy listener heard
the illustration and, acting on the sug-
gestion, went out, came across a horse
and buggy, drove off. was arrested and
sent to the East Lake reform school,"
Miss Kennedy thus insisted upon the
Importance of wisely selecting stories
to tell children and laid down the rule
that story in which good does not
triumph over evil should never be
used.

abroad in this bill for the county falrs
of the state said j. b. Babb, who
has just returned from Montgomery.
I'm the first place the agricultural pos
sibilities of Alabama are unlimited, and
the county fairs stimulate activity in
the agricultural line more, possibly,
than any other means.
They arouse the spirit of COMPETE
tion and in the long run mean, to put
the facts briefly, more corn and better
live stock, diversified farming, improved
methods and an intelligent study OF
soils. Why, this state of .Alabaiua
ought to blossom like the rose!
