DIRE PROSPECT
n the Demopolis Times.

Captain Hobson made some state
ments at his big Birmingham rally last
week that nearly rubbed off the Under
wood smile. Mr.. Underwood did not
exactly borrow the favorite Roosevelt
word, but he came mighty near it, We
we taking part in the matter of veracity
between the two gentlemen, but would
it not be awful If the smiling Oscar
came right out into the open and used
that ugly word? We shudder to think
of it.

"Cut that out!" shouted the auctioneer' s
assistant. "This amt no dance hall no
more. And you're stopping the bidding.
"There useter be a time once when

sighed the girl, as she pressed lace
handkerchief to her eyes. Then she dis
appeared.
The grand piano went for a song. The
auctioneer disposed of it under the ham,
mer in ragtime.
In the throng were men who had known
the Haymarket in it's days of high kick
Ing They had dropped in, but not to buy

bar was closed.

THE LAST OF THE HAYMARKET

| ratings which had supported many an
unsteady patron; few unclaimed wraps
abandoned in moments of forgetfulness
or because of precipitate flight; cracked
safe, chairs. bar fixtures, refrigerators,
coffee urns and other paraphernalia went
under the hammer in Jig time.
And so the sale went until the last of
the beer stained and smoke begrimed fur
nishings of once gilded dance hall had
gone under the hammer.
Then came this injunction from the
block:
"All you buyers take notice! All this
stuff must be out of here by o'clock,
for the house wreckers will be on the
job
In it's day the Haymarket made for
tunes for it's several successive proprie-
tors. Ed Corey, for instance, by some
still unexplained magic. held off the po-
lice and withstood the onslaught of grand
jury indictments for long time.
Back In 1860 the Haymarket was opened
as public bathhouse 1t was bought by
William Mcmahon. who, in 1872, opened
the place as a dance hall, with rooms
to rent under the mansard roof, two and
a half stories from the sidewalk.
McMahons dance hall enterprise fell
into fine swing with the development of
the Tenderloin. When he quit, in 1890,
he announced that his million" had been
tucked away. The place was run as
Worth's museum for the next seven years.
Klein & Jackson, realty spectators,
recentlv bought the site, The cost was
estimated at close to $1,00O,0O0. That may
be- But it is sure the old Haymarket
represents far more than that.

FACTORS IN TARIFF VICTORY

In regard to the great tariff victory by
democrats, Harper's Weekly says
Three factors were essential to the re-
suit obtained. First, Oscar Underwood's $
knowledge of tariff problems, the only
man in either house who could shut him.
self up in a room and write a tariff bill,
from agate to zinc, that could stand
criticism. His leadership in the House
will be sorely missed when he goes to
the Senate from Alabama.
Second, Woodrow Wilson'S influence as
the representative of the whole people
and the head of his party. He had the
sense of the public will when he insisted
OH free wool and free sugar, and the end
ing of the scandals connected with the
sugar schedule and schedule X. the "cit-
adel of protection" His timely remarks
about the ''insidious lobby" amply vin'

position.
Third, the reorganization of the Sem

A chicagoan's Experience.

"It sseems strange that a citizen of
Chicago should come to Birmingham and
become entangled while trying to figure
out the manner of crossing the street
as set forth in our traffic laws" said
member of the Chamber of Commerce.
"A few days ago, however, a gentleman
from the Windy City started diagonally
across one of the downtown streets. He
reached the middle of the street. where
stood one of the traffic officers and was
informed that he must walk directly
across the street and then go directly
across in another direction in order to
reach the side of the street on which he
desired to walk. He apparently took the
lesson to heart and went his way.
"The next afternoon he had occasion
to pass the same corner and stepped off
the curb and proceeded diagonally across
the street. He was stopped again by the
same officer, who wanted to know if he
had lost his memory The Chicagoan re-
piled by shaking his arm free from the
officers grasp and started on across the
street. But he had violated law and
the officer would have been untrue to
his oath had he permitted the gentleman
to thus go his way without teaching him
the proper manner to cross the street.
The officer accordingly called to the man
and escorted him to each of the corners,
stopping minute at each and pointing
his finger in the direction to be taken
when one wants to cross the street.
'That policeman treated the Chicagoan
as though he were only a child and
imagine the man really felt very small.
He had come from city where the traf-
fic laws are even more strict than here
in Birmingham and where they are even
more necessary. He probably thought
that he had reached a small hamlet when
he got to Birmingham and that such
things as traffic ordinances were un-
known. Well, he found it much the other
way. Birmingham is a metropolitan city,
with all the good that comes from being
such. The gentleman from Chicago can
go back to his home city and tell the
natives startling tales of how he was
educated by Birmingham traffic Of

or not he will do so. however,

warm weather and business.

"This warm spell has affected many
lines of business, no doubt said Carl
Hooper of the Hooper restaurant.
at affects our trade, although we
keep busy year in and year out, regard
less of outward conditions. There are
certain articles of food that are very
popular at this time of thesyear which
are almost cut out on account of the
warm weather. Rabbit is one of them.
A few weeks ago we had fine rabbits,
but they are not in very good condition
until the weather is cold. Just as soon
as we have another cool snap rabbits
will be plentiful again. While oysters
are kept in good condition even in tenn
perature so high, people do not care for
them when the weather is as warm as
1t is now" ~.
