here until Monday to watch the develop
ments before Judge Dryer.
Causes No Apprehension
The fact that Judge f. II. Dryer yes
terday refused to confirm the sale of. the
Southern Iron and Steel company prop
critics. according to the outlined pro-
gramme, has not stirred any apprehen-
sion among the attorneys for the COM
pany. The court passed the final con-
frmation until tomorrow morning at Ii
o'clock upon the request of attorneys rep
resenting unsecured creditors. Judge
Samuel Weakley II. DUPONT Thompson,
u. II. Cabaniss and Max J. Winkler rep
resent unsecured interests. 1t was brought
to the attention of the court that the
sale took place Friday and n confirma-
tion was desired yesterday only "a hours
following the sale. Judge Weakey point
ed out that he had not been given sur
ficient time to look into the general sltu-
alton. The court could not see anything
unreasonable in the request for the short
postponement hence the adjournment un-
til tomorrow morning.
Gives Everyone Fair Chance
James Bowron. receiver for the COM
panY and president of the Standard Steel
company, which concern will succeed the
Southern, said yesterday that the post
ponement he believed was simply for
the purpose of giving everyone fair
chance to come to court and did not mean
that the programme heretofore outlined
by the reorganization committee was to
be seriously disturbed
Augutus Benners and A. W. NanBrunt,
attorneys for the company, protested
against the postponement. They said the
delay would be very costly and would
Interfere with the plans of reorganIza-
tion. 1t was their opinion expressed to
the court that a delay would result unfa-
vorably to the whole list of creditors.
They also assured the court that every
care had been exercised to give all per-
sons interested complete notice of the inn
pending sale and the confirmation.
Judge Dryer himself had reached Bir-
mingham from Talladega somewhat late,
so he granted the request for a post
ponement.
Tomorr6v morning in the offices of
Judge Dryer, 1t is believed that all the
final details of the largest Industrial auc-
ton ever held here will be concluded.

~ EAR COMMISSIONERS wish to
congratulate you. I have often
- heard that wisdom comes from
the mouth of babes. Since your re-
marks concerning pockets which should
be worn in the dresses of women,
now declare without fear of contra
diction that sometimes wisdom comes
from the mouths of commissioners.
1t Is a peculiar thing that no other
man thought of the only feasible
method of putting an end to robbery.
1t is so simple. All that one is re-
lquired to do is to put pocket in her
skirt, and in her pocket, put her money.
What burglar would care to go into a
ladys pocket. I wouldn't, I am sure.
Have you ever thought to what an
extent one might carry this idea. There
would soon be no need of policemen.
With the departure of the policemen,
the thieves would also depart. Think
what Birmingham would eventually be-
come were your simple pocket remedy
generally applied.

Like you, | think the provisions of

be followed. The commission should
call the election, and count the ballots.
You and Mr.. Ryall could do that work
just as creditable as anyobdy else.

Tree-Bark Blankets.

They have trees Tor blankets in
Ecuador, and theJ like them, too.
They are fond of the firm touch of
the bark against them as they
sleep.
We would probably think they
were zero in covering" and we
would doubtless wake up in a much
bestiffened condition if we slept under
q wood covering.
But the native indians are most
enthusiastic, according to j. Jane
son, a traveller and lecturer. who
has recently returned from those
parts.
The blankets are made from the
bark of a tree which is cut particular
ly thin. 1t is pounded and moistened
and then pounded some more and put
out into the sun to dry. And a most
desirable and economical blanket it is,
lasting anywheres from two to five
years.

Trials Of ComposItors.

They tell Of a Scottish compositor
who fed from Edinburgh to London In
order to escape the brain-exhausting
ordeal Of deciphering Carlyle's heiro-
giyphics and putting them into type.
He had been at work In London for
some time, when n day a take" Of
Carlyie's copy was given him to set
up. The sight of it appalled, him. els
chat man here. too" he exclaimed.
Whereupon. he laid down his compos-
ing stick. put on his coat and hat, and
vanished.
Balzac's copy was also a nightmare
to compositors. According to the Lon
don Standard. the failure of the estab-
lishment that printed his works was
the direct result of the enormous Ia
Dor spent In making corrections in the
proofs of his manuscript. What 1t
meant to put his copy into type is
shown by the fact that Caesar Birot-
eau" had to be reset Is times In 20

~cuUTTER" WOULD BE MISSED
Aftsr All, This Must Remain Always
q Matter of Individual
Opinion.

Men are Just as much disposed
toward the cluttering habit as women,
but not one In 10, will admit it.
The average man is forever bringing
things home. BY this we mean things
that nobody else In the house has
the slightest interest In. They may
take the form Of books, Of pamphlets,
Of pictures, Of bric-a-brac Of various
kinds. of fishing apparatus. of golf
sticks, OF group photographs or Of
friendly souvenirs from business as
s~ociates. and he insists that they
shall all be kept In view. Usually
they crowd other clutter which the
average woman has spent a great
part Of her life in collecting. and
which is found on all the mantel
pieces, on all the stands. on all the
tables and on all the walls of all the
rooms of the house. Then as the
children grow up they bring things
home that are dear to each one of
them respectively, and these, too.
must be kept In view.
But when all this is said, an i'm
portant point has still been omitted.
Clutter may. often does. cease to be
clutter In the eyes and thoughts of
the family. There are instances in
which 1t has come to be regarded as
family treasure. With all the COM
plant that Is raised against 1t, It is
often grievously missed when parted
with. So truly is this the case, so
closely interviewer does family life
become with all of It's surroundings
and associations, that 1t Is difficult to
conclude here without asking a ques-
ton that will doubtless arise in the
minds of thousands Of readers, name

Group Of People In North Carolina
Hard to Account for In Any
Other Way.

There lives In the woods and
swamps Of Robson county. North
Carolina, a strange group Of people,
IN appearance somewhat resembling
Portuguese or mulattoes. Their man.
ners. customs, and personal appear
ances are unlike those Of any other
race on the American continent, says
the Southern Workman. and inter-
course with their neighbors Is limited
to the extent which necessity de-
mands. Harking back to 1887, II will
be recalled that one of the expedi-
lions OF colonists sem out from Eng
land by Sir Walter Raleigh arrived
on Roanoke island, North Carolina,
under the command Of Capt.
John White. Capt. John White
eve saw his people after he
left them on Roanoke island and re-
turned to England for supplies. When
he returned the little band, 1t is sup
posed, had gone to the mainland and
been absorbed In an Indian tribe. It
IL now believed that the descendants
Of this tribe of Indians are at this
time living In Robson county, where
more than thirty families have names
similar to those of Whites colonists.

WENT DEEPLY INTO DETAILS
Identification That Undoubtedly Was
Complete, but Could by No Means
Be Called Complimentary.

Stephen Hagen, manager of a
Harlem bank, at a dinner recently told
the following anecdote: Many years
ago, while spending d vacation in a
city In the upper part of the state, he
visited some friends in a bank While
there he saw a evere looking woman
move up to the teller's window and
request that a small check be ca he'd
She asked the man in the cage to
call up the person from whom she had
received the check and he would iden
tify her.
The teller called up the mar and
asked him to describe the woman. He
did so in the following manner: She
looked like the crankiest person in
the world. She was dressed in the
fashion of about five years ago. !

blue straw hat, but then it may be
green, and | think she paints. She
