BREAKING UP HOMES,

We break up homes because of
lack of income, though the home
be otherwise fitted for presert a.
ton. The state has the right to
break up homes as a matter Of
principle, but not on the ground
of poverty alone. If 1t be wrong
to take a child out of its home
because its mother Is poor it is
not less wrong TO leave a child
In a home merely because its
parents are rich. There are
homes In the Five Points which
ought to be maintained By the
state. There are homes on Fifth
avenue which the state ought to
break up. Children should be
rescued from homes which are
bhghted by moral poverty and
spiritual restitution and not
only from homes OF insufficient
income.-Rabbl Stephen S. Wise.

Good News.

Simultaneous with the passage of

that new lumber company is com
ing to Cairo. The new company is
the Perkins Lumber company OF
Grand Rapids, Mich, which has OBJ
tanned a site near Seventeenth street
and Commercial avenue. There win
be ample space for the storing Of a
million feet of lumber.
President Perkins, 1t is an
nounced, twice visited Cairo during
the high water period and he init
mated that one of his reasons for
selecting the site was because of the
flood. That he had previously con-
sidered sites in two other cities
speaks well for Cairo and should
have good effect upon other similar
concerns in the city and Drainage
District.
Cairo has the natural advantages.

ton, required by the lumber indus.
try. The same facilities are neces-
sary to all other industries.
With the expenditure of a hall
million dollars on the levees sur.
rounding the city and the Drainage
District, Cairo will not only posses.
the most advantageous location o.
any river city, but will be the las
city to suffer flood damage.

GEN. FUCKER THINKS
 R.E.LEE NOT INJURED
Says Washington Did Not Suffer From Having Pic
 ture on Whisky Bottle

z Gen. E. W. Fucker, one of the bravest of Confederate officers, does not join n the outburst of condemnation of the use of Gen. Robert E. Lees portrait upon whisky bottles. When asked yesterday by number of gentlemen General Ruck- CT consented that the following express sion be published;
 Before the war and for some years after there was only one kind of whisky bottle and that was a white one. On one side was picture of Gen. George Wash ington the father of the country, and upon the other was the American eagle, screaming defiance and his powers un.o the ends of tine world 1 cannot sec that General Washington has suffered any material injury from the use or perhaps the misuse of his likeness, and certainly if Geenral Washington yet retains his claim to immortality his illustrious suc- cessor as the idol of southern people will not suffer from having his picture on a whisky bottle
 "Perhaps the ire of some opposition would be considerably abated if the American eagle had not been left off but had accompanied the picture of my noble commander upon the other side.
 q cannot see that any harm would ac- crue from such an advertisement
 The sentiments of General Fucker, one of Birmingham's leading men and a soldier of renown in Forests cavalry are directly contrary to all the discussion that has swept from state to state in the south

COL. FOWLKES SAYS UNDERWOOD WILL WIN
Mobile Man States Roosevelt Has Already Insured Election of a
 Democrat

Col. Oliver Fowlkes Of Mobile was in Birmingham yesterday visiting his broth CTS, Frank B. Fowlkes, W. B. Fowkes and Capt. John B. Reid He is a mem Der of the Underwood committee from Mobile county and was very enthusiastic yesterday over the chances of Congress- man Underwood for the presidency.
 q have recently been 10 New York and am en route there now, only stopping over to see my brothers a few hours.' said Colonel Towlkes yesterday. "At first I thought MT. Underwood held very slight hopes for the presidency. However, after visiting the east and talking with prom inent importers and financiers I am posi- lively convinced that he will be norn- mated. He will unquestionably carry everything in the south and with that his chances are exceedingly bright
 q am of the opinion that Colonel Roose- vel has elected a democratic President and if get a. chance shall tell Colonel Roosevelt that when I get to New York"

southern part of the state conversant with the trend of events believes that John T. Cochrane, the well known rail- road man of the south country, was being backed by the Illinois Central management It is even asserted that the s500,000 Mobile dock purchase of MT. Cochrane, for which he paid casa in Mobile, is for the Illinois Central system. It is also generally accepted as true that the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern railroad built by MT. Cochrane will be used by MT. Markham to get Illinois Central trains into Mo bile. and that the Illinois Central will be tapped near Jackson by the new line for direct entrance into New Or leans from Birmingham.
 These reports have only suffered one black eye" and that was the com ment of Frisco executive official that the Illinois Central had traffic rights over the Frisco to New orleans to be used whenever the Illinois Central de- sired. However, it is believed the lat ter company prefers its own line into that city.
 These unconfrmed reports and other matters of interest locally may be given an official confirmation or de- noal by President Markham while here today.

 The officials are travelling on a special composed of six cars and are on a trip of inspection over the prop critics. They will make a daylight run from Birmingham to New Orleans, leaving this morning and going by way of Aberdeen where the Illinois Central will be touched from the Frisco lines.
 President Markham with today's visit, makes his first one to Birming- ham this year, and 1t is expected that at talk between General Agent E. F. Stovall and the president many mat ters of importance will be gone over

ANTI-UNDERWOOD
 SINGER IS KISSED

That the Underwood sentiment is growing in the west is attested by !. l.. Acree, prominent live stock dealer of Dothan, who was in the city few hours yesterday en route to his home from St. Louis, where he has been for several days on busi- ness. MT. Acree was formerly mayor of Dothan and the first treasurer of Houston county. receiving the appoint naent from Governor Jelks when the new county was formed.
 Mir. Acree wears an Underwood but ton just the same as all other loyal Alabamians While in St. Louis he met . friend who, noticing his Underwood button, related an interesting story.
 My friend said he had been to a thow in St. Louis the evening before,'' said MT. Acree. lat which the comedian was introducing new songs of his own composition. Several of the songs made hits with the audience. but after awhile the comedian, like Eve in the Garden of Eden. got hold of the wrong fruit.
 After an encore he returned to the stage and began singing a tuneful lit : tie ditty. He was going alright until he struck the chorus. which ran some thing like thus: Buffalo Bill has a chahce to be President, but Oscar Un- derwood has none at all' Instead of the tumultuous applause which had greeted the conclusion of former songs sibilant misses rose from the audience and a vegetable or two found it's way from the gallery to the stage. The fel- low was literally hissed out of the Bhow.'
