BOARD MUST NAME
AN OIL INSPECTOR
Judge Sharp Gives Dimes
Decision in Mandamus
Proceedings

| Judge II. A. Sharpe of the city court
| held that the Board of Revenue of
jefferson county must appoint county
inspector of miners oil under the local
| law of 1901, in the mandamus pro-
| ceedings brought by j. w. Sullivan
directed against the Board of Revenue
The case was heard yesterday and on
the evidence in the case being offered
Judge Sharpe held that the general law
of 1911 which made the chief mine in
spector the official inspector of miners
oils did not abrogate the former local
law, and that it was still in force
The proceedings were filed by ]. w.
Sullivan, through his attorney, Rich
ard II. Fies. who alleged in his petit
tion that the Beard of Revenue had
failed or refused to elect or appoint an
inspector of oils for the county. He
also alleged that the act of 1911 MAX
ing the chief mine inspector of the
state oil inspector was In violation of
the state constitution. A rule nsi was
issued against r. F. Lovelady w. j.
Cameron, Hugh McGeever, l.. II. Pen
nington and r. r. Bivins, commanding
them to show cause why they had not
appointed the said official.
| The case was argued Saturday morn
| ing by Attorney Fies for the petitioner
| and w. X. Terry. attorney for the Board
| of Revenue. 1t is understood that nc
appeal will be taken by the county
and that the board will make the ap-
pointment of the county oil inspector
! at once. c. Fl. Nesbitt, chief mine in
spector, who has been acting as miner
| oil inspector, had nothing to say on
the decision While the county may not
take an appeal in the case it was sug-
gested that other interests may take
| the matter up.
| Richard H. Flies stated that in ad-
dition to the ruling of Judge Sharpe
that the act of 1901 was still In effec'
he was certain that the act of 1911 was
unconstitutional under section II of the
state constitution.

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, June H.-0 p. m)-High
pressure centers in the upper valley states
ana the southeastern corner of the coun-
try are separated by a narrow trough
like depression extending from New Eng
land to the Mexican border
This distribution of the pressure is
causing southerly winds in the western
gulf states and scattered showers were
reported from those states today. The
high in the upper valleys is sending cool
winds down from the northern regions
towards the depression crossing the CEN
trail valleys and as a consequence cool
change has overspread the upper valley
and lake districts preceded by general
light showers over section coincidins
very nearly with the central trough OF
low pressure. Along the lake shores and
north Atlantic coast the showers were
moderately heavy in places.
The bank of high pressure In the south
east is retarding the weather changes
that have come over other sections OF
the country. Hardly any change occurred
In the cotton sections today. The weather
continues mostly fair with the tempera-
lures running high. being above 80 de.
efees over much of the middle and east
ern gulf states and some of the lower
Mississippi valley
The slight decrease in the pressure thai
has occurred in the southeastern state!
during the last "a hours. may result II
local showers in portions of Alabams
Sunday. However. the sluggish state o.
the atmosphere makes it improbable tina
any decided change in either the wcathe
or temperature will occur.

SMALL FORTUNES
MADE IN TRANSFERS
|OF PEERLESS CORNER
Baugh Sells to Frank Nelson
for $4,000 Profit-Rapid
Advances During Past
Few Years

Frank Nelson, Jr., has purchased from
R. H. Baugh the locally famous Peerless
corner for $4,000 The deal was handled
by A. A. Gambill, head of A. A. Gambill
& Co.
The price paid by Mr.. Nedson is the
highest ever paid for business property
in Birmingham. The site is located at the
corner of Second avenue and Nineteen n
street, and has upon it three story brick
building. 1t was purchased on April 25,
1912, from the r. d. Burnett Cigar com
pany for $145oo0 by Mr.. Baugh. He held
the place about IA months and made a
profit of $4,000 on the trade. This is the
third time Mr.. Gambill has sold the prop
erty. The first recent sale was made by
the Peoples Savings bank to Mr.. Burnett
by Mr. Gambill on May 49, 1911. The price
| then was $4,000. The Peoples bank Sc
cured the site from j. C. Kyle on jan
the site made $s5l00. Mr.. Kyle paid 70:
the site $4,000 in January, 1886, having
bought the property from N A. Mae.
| No piece of business property in this
city has been so constantly on the iu-
crease as the Peerless corner, perhaps or
account of the fact that 1t has been eager
ly sought for and has changed hands sc
often.

! Baugh has not been consummated finally
The deeds have been sent to Virginia Il

ing the summer there. When the deeds
are passed upon by the attorneys for Mr.
Nelson the trade will be finally closed. II
the meantime a contract of binding
character has been signed by the tws
parties to the trade.

for some time by Mr.. Nelson. and he has

TENNESSEE SOLONS
AMEND ELECTION
BILL OVER VETO
Bearing of Sudden Action
Upon Pending Legis-
latiOn Is Not Yet
Apparent

Nashville, June 2-In the Tennessee
house of representatives today number
of extra sergeants at arms were ap-
pointed. the entrance guarded, and the
bill amending the election law suddenly
called up and passed over the governors
veto by "a to IS votes.
The effort to pass the bill over the
veto power was undertaken by the reg
ular democrats during the absence OF
quorum in, the house.
The amendment in its present shape
is now pending before the supreme court.
The election law amendment transfers
the control OF the state election machin-
cry from the fusionists to the regular
democrats and to prevent its passage over
the governors veto was one of the main
causes of the recent fusion filibuster to
Hillsboro, Ky.
The amendment was called up Just after
the house had passed the bill providing
for short term loans to care for the
state debt
Fusionists were prevented from break
ing quorum by the extra sergeants

law amendment the regular democrats
have heretofore relied upon the fact that
the house journal had not been allowed
to show the lack of quorum, when the
effort was made to pass the measure
over the governors veto during the fill
buster, certain of the filibusterers then
being counted as simply present and not
voting.
The amendment has passed the senate.
What bearing today's action will have
on the pending litigation is not yet ap-
parent.
The action threatened to provoke a
stormy scene in the house but resulted
only in vitriolic speeches
Both houses of the legislature passed
bills providing for short term notes to
care for the $11, 100000 state debt This is
due this year and is to amend the re-

LITERATURE FROM WICHITA

A pamphlet from Wichita. re-

loved Baca has the ear marks
of an individual who lived among
US for several moons" He was
a lawyer, promoter, alleged KIP.

little town was left to hold the
sack" for sums ranging from SO
cents up, and amounting in the
aggregate to several hundred
dollars.
Our advice to Wichita people
who are contemplating taking
land in this section, is to come
direct to Baca county where you
will find locators who will show
you the land and advise you so
that you will have an intelligent
understanding of conditions here
and at a very reasonable cost.
The plan of digging up $4,000 or

THE BLIGHT OF OUR
NATION
~ e@se4 4s>9S>9S~9-
By q. 2. Wilkinson

The use of tobacco is so pre-
valent that THE man who lifts up
his voice against it is usually
laughed at orr abused. Never
theless vice dpes not lose it's nat
ure through becoming fashion
able, and it Is the solemn duty
of every one who pretends to
love his neiglibor as himself to
warn andlteach against the use
of this baneful narcotic. For a
long time have felt it duty
to try to reach the conscience o
the people in regard to the evils
of the tobacco habit. This article
is written, not to abuse the to-
bacco user. but with a desire to
bring to public notice some of
the harmful effects of this evil
habit. My Information on the
subject has heen CLEANED from
quite an extensive examination
of Physiologies and Medical
works, together with personal
experience and observation.
Physiological Effects of
Tobacco.
Tocacco is q native of America
from whence It was taken to Eu-
rope. This plant is broad
leaved annual, growing five or
six feet high. The leaves are cut,
dried and cured, when they are
made into various forms for use,
too we'll known to need descrip'
ton. The leaves have a sharp,
bitter taste, and are of poison,
Gus. narcotic nature, which is
due to volatile alkaloid called
, nicotine. Nicotine is a dark
colored, deadly poison, derived
from the tobacco, u few drops
being sufficient to kill an animal
Its effects upon young people arc
esaacially asfipns, producinf
nausea, vomiting, vertigo, weak
ness, heartburn, convulsions
and unsteady nerver. Its use
at first, produces mild stupor
which is followed by restlesshes:
an6 muscular weakness. Withou
doubt it deadens the sensibilitie:
and impares the brain power
While it affects in a no less de
gree the senses of hevring, see
ing. smelling, and tasting, 1T:
filthy, disgusting appearance ant
effects are very offensive.
