After experimenting with this territory for some months the William R. Moore company of Memphis has established headquarters in Birmingham. The com pany is working the trade of the state thoroughly. operates one of the largest wholesale houses in the south, located at Memphis, and has been after the l.s Alabama trade for some time. That busi- ness is improving, and prospects are bright Is the general opinion of w. A. Kay. general salesman for the company located here in the Chamber of Com merce building. He Is a travelling sales friends. MT. Kay succeeded Alden M. Wallace in this territory.
 "rhe season that we have been through has been very good indeed" said MT Kay. The merchants of the state have been laying in fine line of goods, and as the general indications are excellent there is littie reason to doubt that the retail merchants will reap the same har- vest as the wholesalers have this year. From what I can gather every business house is well pleased with the showing made by it's travelling salesmen over the state. They have been getting orders of large volume and accounts have been good in almost every instance. The r. tall merchants outside of Birmingham
 look upon this city as one of the lead
 ing southern eenters, and have a friendly word all the time for Birmingham. They give, however. the same oordiality to any house which has attractive lines to offer for their inspection"

 The bullet from the officers gun entered the left thigh and passed out just below the abdomen. cutting the main artery in the leg and the negro bled to death. Physicians at the in frmary were unable to do anything for him. except to relieve the pain.
 Officer Hawkins yesterday morning said: "Officer Ivey and myself were coming down Twenty-sixth street on our wheels when we saw ahead of us in the middle of Twenty y-sixth street a crowd of negroes who seemed to be fighting. About that time we saw one fall to the ground and saw another negro straighten up with something in his hand. An Italian ran from the front of his store, which was right across from where the negroes were shouting, Murder; come quick; mur- der" Ivey and myself both hurried to the scene, and one of the negroes
 
 and shouted to him five times to stop lie refused and jumped across the fence at the side of the street.
 At this time I was about 30 feet be- hind him, and running up put one foot over the fence and fired my pistol into the ground. But instead of running on, as I thought the negro had done, he had lain flat on the ground against tue fence, and the bullet intended for only a dad hic Hfo '
 The negro while on the operating table at the St. Vincent's yesterday morning told in condensed, jumbled way of the shooting. We were on the street playing when the cops came up. We got up and moved out of their way. One of them got off his wheel and came toward me and l backed away and ran. He followed me and when wouldn't stop he shot me. l don't know what he wanted .me for"
 Coroner B. l.. Brasher yesterday aft ernoon notified officers Hawkins and Ivey and several other witnesses to appear before him this morning at 9:3O o'clock to testify in the case. The cor oner yesterday said that he had not investigated the case, and could say nothing.
