". J. CAMERON, DISTINGUISHED
 CITIZEN OF CITY, IS A CANDIDATE FOR MEMBERSHIP ON THE BOARD h OF REVENUE

Perhaps no warmer tribute was ever given a citizen of Birmingham than that paid Maj. ". A. Cameron yester- day by one of the most prominent members of the Birmingham bar and one of the old residents of Birming- ham.
 Saying that he wanted the people to know Major Cameron as the "old timers" knew him, the old resident iwithoutsgiving permission to be quoted, said.
 .I am somewhat like Major, Cam eron, of whom l intend to speak, in that publicity is personally distasteful i. to me. But think the voters of this county ought to be told of their op- portunity April to select first class business man and a citizen of the high est type for one of the most import- ant offices in this county, namely, the board of revenue.
 Mai. ", A. Cameron has been per .suaded by some of his warmest per sonal friends who know his immeasur- able worth to announce for the board of revenue. However, my esteemed friend will not blow vis own horn so his friends will have to do that for him.
 President First National Bank
 ~When I came to Birmingham In 1887 Major Cameron was president of the First National bank. That institu stion was then an important factor in the development of this community in its foKnna tive period as it Is now. Hund- dreds of our citizens can recall his kindly courtesy and genuine desire to assist their business and personal en- lterprises. He was then one of the towers of strength in Birmingham.
 Born in Montgomery
 Major Cameron was born in Mont gomery county 60 years ago and reared there. His father. Andrew Cameron, whose name is now borne by the wide 1y known pr. Andrew Cameron, was of the Clan Cameron of Scotland, though he was born in the north of Ireland. The father of Major Cameron began his business career in Montgomery as a merchant in 1S40. Major Cameron be- gan his business career in the banking house of Josiah Morris of Montgomery as a runner just at the close of the war. He rose step by step until by his sterling worth and pleasant de- meanor was made cashier of the City

WOOD-NORRIS CASE
 IS CONCLUDED
Suit for S100,000 Damages for Fire Ends in Verdict for
 Defendant

After nine hours deliberation the jury in the case of the Wood-Norris Lumber company against the St Louis and San Francisco Railroad company brought in a verdict for the defendant. The suit was commenced last Monday and sl00,oo0 dam- ages was claimed. The case was closely contested during the entire week. The closing arguments were made Saturday morning and after Judge Fergusons charge the case went to the jury about II O ocock.
 The suit grew out of the disastrous fire that destroyed the Wood-Norris lumber yard on Eighth avenue and Thirteenth street about two years ago, which 'n- volved a loss of over s1O0,0Oo. The lumber yard is adjacent to the tracks of the rail- road company and the contention of the plaintiff was that the fire was caused by sparks from locomotive belonging to the defendant company.
 Attorneys G. R. Harsh and c. F. Bed- dow represented the plaintiff. The rail- road company was represented by Capt Frank s. White X Sons and E. k. Camp bell and Forney Johnston.

CHAFFEE BELIEVES AVIATION
 MEET WILL BE SENSATIONAL

the aviators are taking all kinds of chances. They have been going up good weather and bad and 1t seems to make no difference to them whether the sun was shining or whether they went up in clouds and rain.
 "If these fellows are giving such wonderful exhibits at Montgomery and taking such risks, I believe that they will give Birmingham the grandest collection of thrills ever seen in the south.
 "There will be a meeting of the 10 committees that are selling tickets to the aviation meet on Monday night in connection with the Business Mems league meeting and We will hear the first full reports that have been re- ceived of their success. Three of the committees have sold more than $300O worth of tickets and if the other seven committees have done anything like as well we will be close to the goal. We want S10,000 as an advance guarantee of the meet, which will be 10000 tick cts at 50 cents each.
 "I have been most agreeably fm- pressed with the enthusiasm of the auto dealers of Brmin gham in the auto sllow and races to be held here as a part of the triple entertainment. They are making preparations for the largest and best auto show anc races that Ala bama has ever had, and I believe they will be second only to the great show in Atlanta every year..

Old Resident Tells Story
 of Major CamerOn'S Life

Bank of Birmingham under it's found CT, T. l.. Hudgins, in 1884.
 President New First National
 "When the First National bank merged the City Bank of Birmingham in 1886 Major Cameron was elected president of the growing financial in- stitution, remaining as president until 1895. At that time he left the bank ing business and since that time has been state, agent successively of two of the strongest eastern life insurance companies doing business in the United States.
 Major Cameron was married to the second daughter of Mrs George R. Ward and his family are much beloved in this city.
 Orderly of Montgomery Greys
 "While Major Cameron is much too young to be a Confederate soldier, he is not a major by courtesy. As youth he was orderly sergeant of the famous Montgomery Greys, and rose by merit to be major of the Second Alabama infantry.
 He was in command during the Posey riot in Birmingham In 1883.
 Major Cameron is a quiet, unassum- ing man, but always friendly and genial. His wide experience in bank ing and insurance which combine the necessity of attention to minute details with the broad grasp of general bus mess policies, makes him particularly fitted to look after the interests of this great county on the board of revenue The progressive voters who believe in a business policy which will keep step with the progress of Imperial Jefferson and at the same time will not show 'overdrafts' in the business statements should vote for Major Cameron.
 How Everyone May Help
 s'cyery friend should make it a point to help strengthen Major Cameron in the country districts and also tell the recent corners something of Major CamerOn's career and capacity" *+s

Congressman John l..

 The bill to which the Chamber of Commerce committee has offered an ob- jection, purposes to exclude those inn migrants over 16 years of age who cannot read their own or some other language or dialect.

Erhart and Manion Vote
Against Amendment.
Exciting Scene and Acrimo-
nious Debate on Floor.

Forces for His Bill. |

Baton Rouge, July 2.-Fightine
and flibustering to the last, the New
Orleans ring" aided by few sup
porters from the country parishes
was defeated in the House to-day in
its attempt to amend the johnson
primary election bill by inserting q
provision permitting indiscrimfnate
voters in the preparation Of their
ballots.
The scene in the hall of the House
during the exciting and acrimonious
debate on the ring amendment was
one Of the most remarkable ever wit
messed in the historic chamber. The
New Orleans ward bosses and q corps
Of lieutenants, led by the veteran
boss, John Fitzpatrick, filed the
aisles and corridors and used every
effort to induce members to vote
for the Liable assistance" amend
ment. The bosses applied the lash
to the city delegation and forced
all of them to line up for the Liable
amendment, with the exception of
Mr.. Erhart Of the Eleventh Ward and
Mr.. Manion Of the Fourteenth Ward,
who broke away.
Both Erhart and Manion were ap-
plauded when they cast their votes.
John Fitzpatrick spent the greater
portion Of his time laboring with the
city delegation to hold them in line.
Representative Generally, floor lead
er of the New Orleans forces, flittel
about over the chamber and prompt
ed some Of the members of the coun-
try parishes who spoke on his side
of the question.
Hours Debate.
When the bill was taken up the
House adopted resolution limiting
the debate to one hour on each side.
at the end of which time the previous
question was to be considered rs or
dered and the discussion on the
amendments closed.
Mr.. johnson Of Warrington, the
author of the bill, took charge of the
measure on the floor. He offered
time, and each were adopted without
debate until section was reached.
That section contained the anti-as
sistance clause. Then the storm
broke. --7-~
Mr. Liable OF st. Martin Onered
an amendment permitting assistance
to voters in the preparation Of their
ballots.
Mr.. johnson moved as a substi-
tute that the Liable amendment be
rejected.
Mr.. Liable opened the debate with
q speech advocating assistance -
voters, claiming that unless such a
practice be permitted under the law
thousands Of illiterate white voters
will be disfranchised.
Unless the supporters Of the John
son bill permit such an amendment"
he said, II warn them now that they
will dig their own political grave"
"Ready to Dig"

be, said the issue was clear cut.
ut is simply question of honest
or dishonest elections" said he. Il
am advocating the principle of honest
elections, and If in doing so 1 am dig
