The meeting was called as a protest
against conditions In the lumber
camps which resulted in the riots at

wounded in a gunfight between union

Covington Hall, one of the speakers
at the meeting, said:
You boys in the postoffice. help the

w NJ. Toomer of Jacksonville, who
recently spent so much money in an
effort to secure the nomination for
cial trouble, though not to the same
extent as some OF his creditors. On
Friday last Judge James w. Locke of
the United States court issued an order
restraining Sheriff Bowden from hold
ing sale OF the goods and chattels
or Mr.. Toomer to satisfy judgments
issued by the circuit court of Duval
county. Toomer has other creditors
and they had an idea that If the sher-
In sold his assets to satisfy these
judgments 1t would be thin picking for
them. During the recent primary it
was commonly charged that Mr..
TONERS campaign was being fl
nanced by others, a charge these court
proceedings seem to substantiate, tho
not In the same way as intended by his
political enemies. AS a lawyer ii is
possible Mr.. Toomer may in time re-
cover his financial equipoise, but as a
representative in Congress he would
nave been one among many impecuni-
Gus statesmen.-Palatka News.
The Star is reliably informed that
these proceedings are more to straight
en- out some complications in Mr.
Ioomer's business affairs than to in
olcate any great financial stress Mr.
Toomer advertised extensively with
the Star during the campaign, and we
take pleasure in certifying that his
bills were all paid.

NOTHING TO
 HINDER SUCCESS

We should take into consideration the fact that there is nothing in the way of this plan working itself out welt and agreeable to all concerned. There could not be any values disturbed in Birmingham as 1t now stands, as they have been fixed permanently and can never be disturbed This civic center would adequately repay the smith es- tate for the donation and would certain ly help other. values in that community. The people fof Ensley and Bessemer are entitled to some consideration. This plan would serve them and would rem der it pleasure to come to this city for municipal and county business. We could illuminate the avenue with White Way lights and create an ideal condf- ton that would bring joy to the heart of every loyal Birmingham booster
 q am told that the movement will take the shape of petitions to the Smith estate, to the county and to the city. that a conference be called to consider the best way of working out this plan and that something he done and done quick. Wha tever is done must be done with unity of spirit that cannot leave any doubt but what the entire citizen ship of Birmsr sham is in the movement.

Sale of Present Courthouse Would Build New Million

WOULD CREATE A
 LARGE CIVIC PLAN
John L. Parker Outlines Scheme and Its Advantages-Petition Being Circulated to Present to
 Owners of Smith Estate

A movement has been initiated here to create civic center of Smiths Park, To- cated at the lower end of Fifth avenue and Ninth street.
 A petition. 1t Is said, is being circulated asking the Smith estate, owners of the property, to donate six or seven acres in that park to the city and the county upon which to erect a s1.o00.ooo courthouse and magnificent city hall.
 It is stated that monster petition will be circulated in all parts of Greater Bir- mingham asking for the acreage on the part of the Smith estate. It is said that if the owners of that land give the re- quired sites, increases in value will take place to amply repay the estate, and that it will be unnecessary for the coun- ty, to ask for the proposed bond issue. It is suggested that the present property of the county may be sold for sufficient money to erect the new courthouse and jail and the present city hall can be converted into department store or some other business place.
