JAIL AND COURTHOUSE
 ARE BADLY NEEDED

J. N. Kytle of Kytle Lumber company said: "I am in favor of the bond issue in every particular. l know that a new jail and courthouse are badly needed. The present structures arc absolutely unsuited for the grow ing business of Jefferson county and should be superseded by a modern Ip-to-date building. There has been a numLer sof outside issues injected into the question of issuing bonds for this purpose and while I grant to every man the right of his own oplnon, l am con strained to believe that selfish motives are actuating some of the opponents to the proposition.
 "The present county jail has been cosl- demned and justly so. and vet I venture the assertion that of the two 1t is the most fitting of the purpose for which II was intended. The present courthouse was built with more regard to architec- tural beauty than usefulness.
 Its interior construction is abominable and absolutely lacking in any kind oe convcniences. We need new court house for the convenience of the public, ard decency and common humanity de- mand a new jail. Of course am for the Hillman hospital. I am for the bond issue all down the line and will do all I can to carry it Monday"

J. l.. CROSS AND A. J. DAILY
 DELEGATES TO SALT LAKE CITY

J. l.. Cross of the First National bank ard A J. Daily of the American Trust and Savings bank have been elected by the local chapter of the American lnsti- tute of Banking as delegates to the an- | rual convention of the American Bankers association, which meets at Salt Lake City. Utah. August 2l, 9 and 23.
 The gentlemen selected to represent the local bankers were chosen after a very spirited election at the last meeting of the chapter and are the first delegates from Birmingham to attend national conven- ton of this organization.
 At the convention at Salt Lake City of the country. some 400 or 500 in number, representing the banking force and tnan- cial machinery of practically every city in the United States. The meeting this year is one of more than usual impor- tance, and it is understood that many new questions relating to the finances Of the country will be discussed.
 The local chapter of the. American 1n- stitute of Banking has about 150 members, representing every bank in the city, and maintains headquarters in the Clark building. Regular monthly meetings are held and a regular course of instruction in banking and commercial law is afford- ed the members. The meetings are well attended and have been of much profit 10 the members of the organization,

GENERAL PUBLIC IS
 AT GREAT DISADVANTAGE

George B. Ratterman said: Every per son who has had business in the court house must realize the necessity of more convenient and commodious quarters. Some one has suggested that the bond issue is to provide the court officials and lawyers with sumptuous quarters. The lawyers now have all the advantage so tar as the limited accommodations are concerned, and can avail themselves of privileges denied to the general public. 1 venture the assertion that there is not a county court in the length and breadth of the country that has less accommoda- tions for the people than the present structure wherein is transacted the busi- ness Of the county. 1 have had an exper- fence where the female members of my family were summoned into court as wit pesses in an automobile accident, and who had to stand for hours in a foul smelling corridor filled with all kinds and ooors of men.
 The county is not in debt. and can well afford to build an edifice that would in sure decent treatment to those who are summoned to court
 "As far as the Hillman hospital is con cerned, l wish the amount was twice as large. l know of no better way a city can show the true character of It's citi- zens than by their willingness tot help the afflicted poor. l shall vote for both bond issues and use whatever influence l may have in securing its passage.

WILSON MAY COME
 ID BIRMINGHAM Big Political Men May Be Induced to Make Ad-
 dresses Here

The Birmingham Wilson Marshall club If carried through, will place the organ ization in the foremost ranks of those formed throughout the United States in the interest of democracy.
 The plan is to induce Congressman Un- derwood first to persuade Governor Will son to visit Birmingham. and secondly to insist on leaders from neighboring states stopping in Birmingham while returning from Congress.
 MT. Underwood in recent letter to Charles E. Rice, secretary of the Wilson, Marshall organization. has expressed great satisfaction in that he was chosen honorary president of the club, and great interest in the organization 1t is known in advance that he will do all in ilis power to aid the local club in it's labors.
 MT. Underwood has stated that if Wilson comes south he will endeavor to induce him to visit Birmingham. He has ex- pressed the opinion that when Congress adjourns 1t will be comparatively easy to persuade Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi to stop over for the pur- pose of making an address.
 It is hoped that in addition to Mir. Will Hams Senator Raynor of Maryland will attend, and also at least one member of each of the congressional delegations of Georgia, Florida and Tennessee.
 The plans to date are entirely tentative But probably in the first week of Sep tember one of the largest gatherings of people in the history of Birmingham will hear democratic doctrine preached by MT Underwood, Mir. Williams and dis tinguished men from other states

OPPOSES ISSUE AND THINKS
 IT IS UNNECESSARY

Lucien C. Brown said: "I am opposed to the bond issue for the court house and jail as I think it unnecessary. However. I favor the Hillman hospital proposition.
 Let the county officials separate the criminal and civil courts They can build a new jail with criminal courtrooms for less than third of the amount the board of revenue is asking for. Move all the divisions of the criminal court including the judges of the common pleas into a new building, then there will be ample room and to spare for the civil courts in the present building.
 The county can easily finance locally the erection of a or story building to be used exclusively for the trial Of criminal cases and the detention of crim- inals.
 'T shall vote against the bond issue on the grounds it Is unnecessary"

pr. Alfred Luckie has entered the fghl against the Illegal sale of cocaine and other injurious drugs. and as a result ol his efforts numerous convictions have all ready been made. whereas otherwise ths defeQdants would most probably havs been dismissed.
 pr. Luekie, who is connected witi| Gunn's pharmacy. Third avenue and Ninel teenth street. has taken up the fight sim| ply because he knows of the evils proI dnced by the sale of cocaine. He Is servI ing the city without salary or emolumen1 of any kind
 Heretofore, many defendants charsel with retailing dope have been dismisse because no one could take the stand an swear that powdered crystals was eocain Now, however. there is always sofneon to do the swearing. The officer with tfN evidence goes 10 Luckie anu ne make tho chemical analysis. After making tt test Luckie goes to the police court al tells the judge whether the substance su mitted is cocaine or other deadly drug.
 He has been in the service of the ci but short while but already as 2 res, of his efforts half 8 dozen people ia been convicted. A white man was fin Sl9b ddN or so ago.
 Yesterday he made a test of powd bought by q negro in the service of detectives and found that the drtty N not cocaine. Before the test was mo the druggist who made the sale was under bond As soon as the test was cQ pleted the bond was destroyed.

 T am interested in this fight. std Luckie last night, and am in it to st have already received advice from tair. obscure sources to put an end my efforts. But I have been in q stores SO long and have learned so the horrible evils resulting from the of cocaine that l have fully made up mind to do all in my power to locate source of the supply.

The board of registrars for Jefferson county ls in session at the courthouse. and up to last night had registered about 60 prospective voters The intending voter does not seam particularly anxious to avail himself of the opportunity to qualify and but few have appeared thus far

NO HORSE RACES
 AT THE STATEFA|R Officials State Anti-Betting Laws Have Killed Inter-
 est in Ponies"

While certain members of the boa I'd citation have already become sufferers of chilled pedal extremities 1t is never theless true that the present indica- tions are that this year will be no ponies" in Birmingham.
 The reason advanced is that since anti-pool and other betting laws have been enacted, only trotting and pacing animals of secondary calibre have been on the market and that in these the people have not displayed interest suf- ficient to cause the expenditure of 5000 or s4o0o.
 As result the directors have de- clared that there will be no races at the fair. Some years ago the running races were lost. For two seasons past however, there have been trotting and pacing. While in the latter there never was the interest as was shown in the running races, they served the purpose of making the fair fair in the esti- nation of those people who hold that a fair without racing is not fair at all.
 The Birmingham fair will gain the distinction of being the first to open its gates and contain on its programme no card of racing events with the name of each horse, his parcntage. his color and other detailed information, care fully presented

MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE
 NOW BEFORE THE PEOPLE

Judge A. O. Lane said: T desire to commend most earnestly the stand The Age-Herald has taken in the proposed bond issue for courthouse and county Jail. l regard 1t as the most important of any issue presented to the people of the county for long time. There is absolutely no sound argument against it and the reasons for 1t are overwhelm- ing. The comfort. convenience, and protection of the persons and property of the citizens of the county demand that the new buildings be erected The erection of these buildings will not add anything to the burden of taxation and therefore there Is no good reason why the county should not build
 "The county officials interested in these matters are among our best and most honest citizeps, and We need not fear but that the interests of the peo- pie will be properly protected l hope the people will not be influenced by issues entirely outside the needs of these new edifices and win vote for the bond issue to enable the county to properly care for It's vast and growing interests"

VALUABLE RECORDS ARE PLACED IN FIRETRAP

Arthur L. Brown said: If l remember alright the insurance authorities have declared the present courthouse as be- ing little better than a fire trap, yet 1t contains all the valuable records of the county Suppose these should be de- stroyed by fire; 1t would mean untold expense, time and trouble to replace them. In fact 1t would almost be im- possible. There are valuable docu- ments in the present courthouse that could never be replaced. l am sure any one who has looked fully into the proposition fairly and without bias will cast vote for the bond issue. There Is not a court. clerks office or head quarters of the other departments that is anywhere near large enough or at all suited for the present conditions of tho county
 "I hope the, bond issue will carry for 1t Is unquestionable that larger and more modern quarters are needed"

ALL Is READY FOR ELECTION ON BOND ISSUE TOMORROW Proposition Has Been Di- vided Into Two Separ-
 ate Divisions
POLLING PLACES
 OF THE COUNTY
Friends of Measure Express Confi- dence 1t Will Carry and Provide Funds for New Courthouse,
 Jail and Hospital

Everything is In readiness for the bond issue election to be held tomor- row and from the interest aroused the indications are that a heavy vote will be cast
 The officers of the election have been furnished with the necessary ballot boxes and voting blanks and prompt ly at o'clock tomorrow morning the voting will begin The vote will be taken on two separate propositions. First, as to whether the county shall issue sl,ooo.ooO worth of bonds for the purpose of erecting a new courthouse and jail; and. second, whether the county shall issue s100.O00 worth of bonds for the purpose of building an addition to the Hillman hospital.
 The matter has been widely discussed during the past week and while there are some who predict that the bond issue will not carry the friends of the measure express confidence in its pass age. There seems little doubt but that the hospital bonds will carry, for an energetic campaign has been waged by the medical fraternity, the womans' societies and the various cha rtable or ganizations.
