RAISING FUNDS
 ID FIGHT CASE
DuPont Thompson Says They Are Encouraged in
 Fight Against Increase

A subscription is being taken from among the people to fight the South ern Bell Telephone company's efforts to increase phone rates in this city. The work has so far been in the i'm mediate charge of R. DuPont Thomp- son, well known lawyer. Subscrip- tions have been made by number of well known citizens and the amounts range from S1 to the very tidy sum of s10O. MT. Thompson said yesterday that the circulation of the petition had been carried on in a very modest way so far, but that he was of the opinion that $10,000 would be raised just as soon as the entire committee went out among the people.
 Those to whom I have presented this matter have responded quickly and with great interest" said MT. Thomp- son last night. "The sum total is rath- CT encouraging right now. However. we are going to raise a large sum from among the people to give battle <. this iniquitous proposition In this coc- nection every one with whom I came in contact censures the city commis sioners for not making an appropria- ton. Their position that the state can give the money is subterfuge to es- cape their palpably plan duty"
 It is understood from no less an authority than Commissioner Lane that citizens of Ensley have volunteered to raise their share of fund to fight for the retention of the present phone rates and against those proposed. rho Ensley citizens have assured Commis- sioner Lane that whenever he says the word they will start subscribing to the palIge

 Guard Happy

The first division of the Confederate Veterans from this district who will attend the state reunion In Montgomery this morning left yesterday.

H. Hollingsworth and Mrs. F. l. Jordan. respectively.
 | Those leaving this city yesterday afternoon were T. P Lamkin, Heuten- ant commander of Camp Hutto at Jas per and adjutant general of the Third brigade; Private B. c.

Walker of Camp Hardee
 By no means the least important per- sonage accompanying the veterans was the old negro eX-slave and body guard to Matthew Thompson of Company B of Georgia. He gave his name as Zed Thompson and under his arm or over his shoulder he carried a saber he had picked up from the field after the bat tie of Gettysburg Che could not tell whether 1t had belonged to yankee" or "rebelD, and an old musket that he had acquired since taking up his abode in Alabama.

evening a welcome meeting will be conducted in the hall at 214 North Twentieth street where a musicale will also be held on Saturday night. The public is invited to attend these assem- plies, and number of extra street services will be presided over by the out of town officers.
 Sunday will be the most important day of the convention as the pulpits of several of the city churches will be filled by the Salvation Army speakers. Colonel Jenkins will lecture at the Five Points Methodist church at the morning worship and at the same time Colonel Holz will address an audience at the First Baptist church. In the evening at the First Methodist church, both Col onel Jenkins and Colonel Holz will be heard. The engagements for the others have not been announced as yet.
 Birmingham, as a divisional center with Major Mrs. M. Elizabeth Barter stationed here as officer for the south ern states, Is one of the few cities of the country to be visited on the anni- versary occasions by the most promi- nent of the United States commanders, and each year those in charge of the stations in the southern district which includes Alabama, Tennessee, Florida and Mississippi, gather in this cty to confer and discuss the progress of the work.
 Yesterday Major Barter said:
 T understand the Volunteers of America are beginning to enter the Bir- mingham field and are even talking of locating here, something they have done in very few cities.
 They are hindrance to our work before a special effort Is to be made by the Salvation Army and derive the benefit of the energy we have spent all the year around by thoroughly can wasting and soliciting the city. We, with the exception of the one or two solicitors we have in the suburbs, only make one big house to house canvass, and that is at Christmas time At the present time there is no soliciting be- ing done by our people in the city eX- cept by those who can present orders or a letter with the signature of my self or Ensign Bouterse attached. The general public will contribute to the Volunteers under the impression that they are giving to us and when we really begin our campaign they feel that they have already donated to the cause. We feel justifiable in saying that we deserve the patronage of Bir- inasmuch as We have q staff of officers here and have been for the past 10 years going about the city do- ing whatever we could to help the unfortunate and outcasts.
 T like Birmingham exceedingly, not only to live in but because it Is char itable city and very kind. It ranks with many of the larger cities in its dona- tiohs toward the Salvation Army and aid in carrying on the work"
