Everybody has heart a part at peast Of .,he popular song, "Eyerybody's Doing
 !" The words are clever and the air catchy, but 1t has about run its course, and is beginning to get stale. Like every other catchy song or slang phrase It has been used on many occasions and Tor many purposes, yet 1t remained for a negro prisoner at the city police court to ring q change.
 Judge Hugo l.. Black, the young dis ciple of Blackstone, who presdes over the police court, numbers among his many ac- complishments a decided talent for music, and can perform very creditably on sev- eral istruments. Not often does he de- scend to the common ragtime of today, but the rhyme and rhythm of the popular song got him the other night. and he found himself unconseiously humming as he went about his various duties, Every body's doing it. doing 1t, doing It." He had heard the piece played by an orches- tra the night before and the swing and jingle still rang in his ears.
 Just as he had concluded the docket last Saturday in which he had fined a large number of negroes for indulging in the game that though forbidden by law is one of the few sources of enjoyment

BIRMINGHAM TRAVELLING MEN FORECAST
 GREAT PROSPERITY THIS FALL AND WINTER

''I have been travelling for many years" said MT Brown yesterday, but l have never experienced such fine business. In Birmingham as we'll as elsewhere in the state business in our line is booming. Only last week I was able to sell to the New Wiley Candy company a magnificent stand to be placsd where the Jesse French Piano company now Is, on Third avenue. That will be one of the hand somest places in the city. We also placed a fine contract with MT. Venable, who is to open a place in the Smoke House stand, on Twentieth street, corner Second alley.
 These two contracts executed during the past week are as nice as the Amer ican Soda Fountain company has secured in this district and added to our business during the past few months, we are very much pleased. From what I can learn all the farmers over the state anticipate a great crop this year. That will carry prosperity to the farmers first, then the smaller city merchants and eventually to many lines of trade"
 J. S. Perkins
 J. s. Perkins of Sharp & Dohple. whole sale druggists. reached the city yesterday for his usual week end visit. Mr. Per kins makes Birmingham his headquarters and travels throughout this state.
 'The fine weather of the past sew weeks" he said yesterday, "has enabled the farmers to get their gathering of cot ton pretty we'll under way and the out look is fine for bumper crop.
 Business has been splendid during the spring and summer while the outlook for winter trade is as fine as l can recollect it ever was before. All over this state there is feeling of prosperity fin all circles which leads to the conclusion that money Is easier and people are getting into better circumstances.
 'I hear people everywhere talking of Birmingham They recognize that Bir- mingham has grown in leaps and bounds during the past six years and the general opinion seems to be that the future Bir- mingham will be even more amazing than the recent strides. Birmingham has unquestionably started more building this year than any other city in the south of its size. That has attracted attention and people have their eyes on this com munity."

ONE MAN KILLED IN MINE EXPLOSION Gas Pocket ExplOdes in Great Elk at Car
 bon Hill

In an explosion at the Great Elk mine, near Carbon Hill, in Walker county. yes- terday afternoon about 1 o'clock Percy Fwlnwood, a bumper, was killed out right. No one else was in the mine at the time of the explosion. and the bumper was the only man injured.
 The mine is the property of the Gallo way Coal company, with local offices at Carbon Hill. though the company is a Birmingham firm and has Birmingham of- fees.
 M. D. Rover assistant general man. ager of the firm, was notified of the ac- cident late last night over long distance telephone. According to the account which was obtained from him, F'winwood was found dead in one of the new head ings about o'clock by the superintendent of the mine. Fwnwood went into the mine with an open light on his cap, run into pocket of gas and an explosion followed in which te was instantly killed, Is the theory of his death.
 According to officials the explosion was purely local as the heading in which Fwinwood was killed is isolated from the main slope entrance. No damage was done to the mine, and the pocket of gas was burnt out, thus enabling the men who searched for the body to proceed without danger to themselves.
 The remains of the dead miner were taken to Carbon Hill, only half mile distant, where they will be held pending funeral arrangements. State Mine In- spector Nesbitt was also notified yester- day afternoon Immediately following the explosion, but upon learning the details of the accident did not think it necessary to leave last night for the mine. He will make an investigation today.
