tell gently applied, industry and relia-
bility is the basis of my address to you
this morning.
'In a certain school in Germany there
appears this motto:
'''When wealth is lost, nothing is lost,
when health Is lost, something is lost,
when character is lost everything is
lost
Most Valuable Assets
character Is likely to be considered
by some as having little or no relation
to business success, but I hope that
there Is not one here who will so re-
gard it, as no matter what may be your
occupation in life. the most valuable
assets that you can have are character
intelligently applied industry, and re-
liability. They are of more Importance
than money, for with them money and
happiness can be acquired
The value of character was strong
ly emphasized by the late Mr.. j. p.
Morgan In a hearing before a congress
sional committee short time before
his death. Credit, he told the committee,
is not based primarily on money or
property, but the first thing is char
acter, before money or
anything else. Money cannot buy it,
Mr.. Morgan's own career strikingly IL
Illustrated LTlSt IOr MS ability TO ex-
ercise a power and influence vastly
out of proportion to the resources of
his own banking house and, time and
again, by his leadership to save public
and private credit in the United States
was due to the confidence which he in
spired in others. 1t was said of him,
very early in his career, that no one
who knew him ever thought it essen
final to put any promise or statement
of his in writing. This reputation he
maintained throughout his life. He
kept faith. The world knew that he
would keep faith and it gave him it's
trust and confidence. The value Of. this
you will appreciate more in after Years
Character of this kind Is an invalu-
able asset not alone in the banking
house and in large business matters. 1t
is of equal Importance in every bust
ness and in the smallest transactions.
Just as the banker selling bonds, If he
is to have permanent success, must
correctly represent his wares to each
customer. so the seller of berries or
apples must be equally truthful. If he

haskell or fills the interior Of his aQ-

MRS. |. B. EVANS IS
RELEASED ON BOND
Widow of Man Whom Wal
ter Jones Slew Makes
Bond of $4,000

Mrs. Lawrence B. Evans, who has been
confined In the county jail for several
months on charge of murder, was re-
leased yesterday on a $1,000 bond by
agreement of the county solicitor and
Judge Greene Mrs. Evans Is the widow
of Lawrence b. Evans, the mine super
intendent who was assasinated at Lewis
burg and for whose death Walter Jones
was executed about three weeks ago.
The death OF her husband left Mrs.
Evans totally unprovided for and she en-
deavored to make living for herself
and three small children by running a.
boarding house. The charge against
Mrs. Evans is infanticide. Her case was
set yesterday in the first division of the
criminal court and was passed generally,
the court fixing the bond as above stated.
An unusual circumstance in connection
with the above case Is that Mrs. Evans
was confined in cell within the shadow
of the galows on which the slayer OF
her husband was executed, and while
she knew the gruesome event was to take
place. she was not allowed to witness
IT, Mrs. Evans readily made the bond
as fixed by the authorities.

piled Industry"

At the High School yesterday morn
ing L. Sewer, one of the most sue
cessful railroad men in the south, de-
livered an address upon the value Of
character, industry and reliability to
the student body. The address was in
line with the practices at the High
school to have talks from time to time
by well known local men and visiting
persons of note. Mr.. SEWER was in
troduced by DR.. J. II. Phillips, superin-
tendent of Birmingham schools.
The speaker first pointed out that the
late John Pierpont Morgan. whose re-
cent death Is lamented around the
world, laid more value upon character
than upon any other possible possess
sion
Mr.. Sewer was accorded close atten-
tion by the student body and subse-
quently at the suggestion of Dr. Phil

SATURDAY TAG DAY
FOR THE BOYS CLUB
Only Time in Year Money Is
Asked for Institution
THE WORK BEING DONE
Annual New Years Dinner Is One of
Most Important Features, While
Summer Camp Is Conducted
for Four Weeks
Saturday is Tag Day.

Saturday is Tag Day.
For the benefit OF the Boys club. pretty
girls and matrons will be on every street
corner and In every prominent place In
the downtown district Saturday, tagging
every person they meet and accepting for
the tag whatever the victim" Is willing
to give. This is the only time In the
whole year that the Boys club comes
before the public for funds.
It takes $500 a year to run the Boys
club. and through Tag Day once year
is the way the good women of Birming-
ham who conduct this institution expect
to raise the larger part of these expenses.
The Boys club originated Tag Day in
Birmingham. since which time many inl-
tations of the method have been used to
raise money for various purposes.
One of the important feature of the
year Is the annual New Years dinner
given by the club under the direction of
Mrs. J. B. Reid. Last New Years nearly
200 boys we're given an elaborate and sat
isfying dinner and the good influence of
good women was brought into closer con-
tact with every one of their lives.
A regular summer camp is conducted
four weeks every summer, and last sea-
son 112 boys from the most needy and
worthy families were given all of the at
fractions and refining and broadening in
fuences to be found at a camp in the
woods. The club organizes Fairgrounds
boys and many other valuable lines OF
work which are being carried out.
The leaders of the institution state that
1t is not large amount of money which
they want from any one person. How
much we could have IL just every man
and woman who could afford 1t in Bir-
mingham would give a nickel" they say.
They do not want any one to feel that
they must give 10 cents or % cents or 50
cents or any other amount for a tag Sat
urday. But they want everyone to know
what the Boys club is doing and then
Just give nickle or 10 cents or what
ever they can afford for the tag which
will be on the streets Saturday with a
pretty girl behind 1t.

Birmingham Stag Company
Contracts to Have Entire
Pile Moved Away With
in Next Ninety Days
ABOUT $4,000 YARDS
WILL BE USED FOR
DOUBLE TRACK WORK
City Some Time Ago Made Arrange
ment With Company to Open Sec
ond Avenue, But This Con-
tract Will Level That
Entire Section

The entire Stag pile of the sloss COM
pany on upper Second avenue has been
sold to the Louisville and Nashville and
viii be completely removed in 30 days.
The deal was made by Solon Jacobs,
president of the Birmingham Stag com
pany, which company wYrl load the Stag
at the rate of 25o0 yards per day until the
entire place is clean for the only time in
80 years
The Stag pile consists of about $4,000
yards of Stag. 1t is understood that the
prevailing price would bring the amount
involved in the transaction up to about
$50, 0oo
Announcement as to the deal which will
clear UP Second avenue of the Stag pile
which has caused endless complaint was
made here yesterday. Mr.. Jacobs said
that his company could move 5000 yards
per day or more, SO II would be compare
lively easy for the Stag to be taken away
from First avenue in 90 days. He added
that a steam shovel would be placed at
work on the pile this morning and cars
would be loaded as rapidly as possible.
The deal is somewhat surprising to In
dustrial circles. 1t was not generally un-
derstood that the sloss company intended
to clean the pile from First to Fourth
avenues,
Use 1t on New Work
The Louisville and Nashville railroad
Will utilize the Stag at Boyles and on the
double track work above that point. The
company is engaged In tremendous
work and Is using a great amount of slSz.
The trestles will be filed with Stag,
while the ballasting win be of the same
material.
The removal of the Stag from the pres
ent point will be the source OF unusual
qualification From East Lake to Bir-
mingham there has been for many years
agitation against the Stag pile. Recently
the commission, after negotiations, COM
promised with the company for the
opening up of Second avenue and the
abandonment of the coke ovens. The to-
tai demolishment of the Stag pile is new
development in the matter.
Jacobs Statement
"The Birmingham Stag company sold
to the Louisville and Nashville the entire
soss Stag bank" said Mr.. Jacobs yes
terday I'VE will start a steam shovel
there tomorrow morning and will have
that spot perfectly clear of Stag In less
than 80 days. 1t will be necessary to re-
move about 2500 yards per day In order
to accomplish this We move between
5000 and 10000 tons per day now at other
operations. so we feel that contracting to
clear that obstruction in 30 days Will be
practically easy The Louisville and
Nashville railroad is utilizing a large
amount or Stag on its lines. The company
uses Stag for fills and trestle work, as well
as balasting. It Is a natural cement and
the effect is almost like solid stone. The
removal of the Stag from its present place
of obstruction will mean great deal to
that section of tho city, 1t Is claimed,
while the residents OF Roebuck. East
Lake, Woodlawn and Avondale that have
been constantly complaining will have
their wishes gratified.

 The money was borrowed on a scrip issue made wherein the money was advanced on an so per cent basis of the issue, but conditional that fl the city should get liquor license money on January i, and wants to return the money borrowed, the scrip may be taken up and cancelled by the city administration
 There was much joy about the city hall when it was realized that the negotiations had been made for the payrolls. There is payroll to be made on December |. on some sort of basis, and by the time the next payroll comes around the city will either at least have hit an unsatis- factory credit basis, or will be able to take up the old obligations, and pay ill cash for awhile.
 On the whole, the arrangement is a most satisfactory one for the pres ent but q most temporary one, for it is made only for tse benefit of tid- ins the city over until the issue is finally determied whether the liquor revenue shall be received If the liquor money comes in the city will be back on stable foundation, and if the license money is not available any further effort to continue the city on scrip basis will probably De lnaXailing

London, Nov GA large and dis tinguished gathering welcomed the Right Hon James Bryce, late British ambassador at Washington, at the dinner given in his honor by the Pi. grims tonight
 The American ambassador. Walter H. Page, read messages from the president of the United States, Jos eph Choate, former ambassador at London, and others. President Will sons message was as follows:
 Few men have done more than James Bryce in strengthening the ties of friendship and brotherhood which unite England and America and have been the cause of common aspiration and high example to the whole world
 President of the Panama Canal EX- position, Charles C.. Moore, oabled;
 T still hope the British and Amer ican flags will wave together at San Francisco in 1915"
 Mir. Bryce in his speech expressed the belief that the Panama question would be solved in a manner satis- factory to both countries. That be- lief, he said, was based on his con yiction of the rectitude and elevated sense of honor and international jus tice possessed by President Wilson.
 A large part of MT Bryce's speech was devoted to replyig to criticisms made by the conservative press Of his work as ambassador.
 An ambassador to a foreign coun- try, he said acted merely as the agent Of his government and carried out the instructions of his govern ment The critics acted i'll ignorance because the only persons who knew what the ambassador was trying to do were his foreign officers and hin- self The danger was that criticisms .of an ambassador by the press of his town country had the effect of weak ening his status and prestige wi.h the country to which he was accredit- pd
