Water Is Going Through The Cutoff
Ditch on Low Tide.

The river has dropped down to a
few feet below running stage; low
enough that it could be seen that the
cutoff ditch has washed out sufficient

there, so Nose Nixon has been gut
in there again with the convicts dy-
namlting the stumps and digging off
the dirt out of the residue bank be-
twiXt the upper sprongs of the ditch.
He has sliced off and rolled into the
mill-race which is going through
there, over a ten-foot strip inward
eating away that obstinate middle
bank. There IS a network of low cy-
press stnmbs there yet to be worked
out, and also much cutting in the
bottom for the water itself yet to do
before the main RIVER course through,
however, the present volume of
water flowing as it now stands is far
more than ever, but dead low river,
may cut it down some, that remains
to be seen vet, but meantime Nose
is helpingfit along to make a real
cutoff.

THE U. S GOVT. is SEEKING TO CANCEL
FraudulentIy Acquired HOmesteads.

A special agent for the department

ment has spent several days lately
about Leakesville looking into home
steads which his de apartment has rea-
son to believe were fraudently prov
en- out. Nodoubt but what many Of
the upgrowing youth OF our county
were robbed of their birth-right by
greedy timber-covetters before such
inheritors of the bounty of our faith
erly federal government, could reach
their majority and make bonafda
homestead entries and consequent
proof. fit does not disturb too much
the long settled status quo of prop
erty-ownership, this paper endorses
seeing Uncle Sam canoe sue b
bogus homesteads, just as much in
Greene county, as we favor seeing
the democratic administration recov-
er to the government the vast a.
mount of public lands swiped in A
laska by the great coal interests.
Nothing revolutionary of course, but
the cautious, careful ferreting out of
wrong and making it right before
more complications are made in the
run of timely chains of conveyances
to parties buying in good faith. We
voice the sentiment OF many our
our young men growing up to find
the homesteads pretty we'll all gone
now when small farms are SO badly
needed, that agriculture is becoming
our leading industry.

Mr.. Corey's Testimony

The Montgomery Advertiser over
looks the fact that William e. Corey,
ex-president of the Steel corpora
tion, is now an insurgent. He is in
surging very much as Theodore
Roosevelt did against the Taft ad-
ministration when he came back from
Africa. Mr.. Corey was restive while
serving with Chairman Gary, and in
his testimony he admits that he con-
sidered himself the bigger of the two.
The executive committee sustained
the chairman, and Mr.. Corey's sue
cessor was soon thereafter ap-
pointed.
The Advertiser seems to take de-
light in Mr.. Corey's adverse and un-
friendly testimony. Why it should do
this in the light of the fact that the
taking over of the Tennessee COM
pany by the Steel corporation bene-
fitted at the time the entire state, it
is difficult to understand. Certainly
it should not permit any feeling of
jealousy towards this city to enter
into this matter.
Birmingham grows because the
Tennessee company was taken over
by the Steel corporation, and Bir-
mingham's growth is felt in every
part of the state. Birmingham's
taxes go to almost every part of the
state. No more fortunate event in
Alabama's industrial life has occurred
in generation than the merging of
the Tennessee company in the Steel
corporation, and the Advertisers un-
kind and really unjust criticism of
the merger is uncalled for. And even
If the merger were now dissolved,
the good effects of the original action
would remain.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-28
Regarding Public Spirit

Everyone remarks the public spirit
that Birmingham has developed with
in the past five or six years. The old
Commercial club had as presidents
public spirited citizens and the pres
ent Chamber of Commerce has been
fortunate in having leaders in public
spirit.
The real get-together spirit had its
beginning in 1908 when the Chamber
of Commerce building was erected.
Since them many important projects
have been undertaken and carried out
by the chamber. Through its various
standing committees it has kept in
touch with every movement and every
interest in this district. But as great
as has been the progress in our get
together spirit there is need for even
more.N
A prominent Birmingham man who
visited Atlanta last week wrote of
the great things that had been ac-
complished there by reason of the
Georgia city's get-together habit.
Atlanta never rests on its laurels, but
is always up and doing. And it must
be so with Birmingham. This city
has done wonderful things within the
past three years. 1t has built
magnificent skyscraper home, for the
Young Mems Christian association
and has built handsome annex to
the Young Women's Christian asso-
citation. The Birmingham Chamber
of Commerce has doubled its member
ship and its activities should hence
forth be more potential than ever.
One of the things that Birmingham
particularly needs now is lagge audi
torium-an auditorium in which great
national conventions could be held;
great music festivals, great opera fes-
tivals. Large auditoriums are not
often dividend payers. The cost must
be borne, as rule, by public spirited
citizens. Money must be raised for
such an enterprise just as it has been
raised for million dollar hotels. There
is every reason to think that with an
increase of the get-together spirit the
needed auditorium would become
reality during the present year. =

Smoke Ordinance Impracticable

Commissioner Weatherly's smoke
ordinance is impracticable. No mat
ter how we'll his theory looks on paper,
this is no time to attempt to put it
into practice.
Birmingham is a manufacturing
city and that means pay rolls
and-smoke. To enforce an anti
smoke law would certainly work
great hardship. on many industries
here. The Birmingham district is
rich in black diamonds. It's fuel coal
is unsurpassed; but it does make
smoke. If we could have great up
heaval Of the earth which would
change the character of our coal
which would give us smokeless coal
then we could have smokeless city,
but as nature now stands we must
get along with the smoke for the pres
ent or see our pay rolls diminish.
If there be a smoke evil, who would
not rather put up with it than to see
manufacturers lose money? Of course,
some industrial concerns might go to
the expense of using coke or electric
power and still operate at profit,
but with the majority of them it
would be coal fuel or nothing.
If an anti-smoke ordinance is ever
to be tried here manufacturers should
have several years to get ready for
it; two or three years at least.
The automatic coupler on freight
cars is a good thing, but railroad COM
panies were allowed good deal of
time to equip their cars. The auto
matte car coupler came into use
gradually. To precipitate the en-
forcement of an anti-smoke ordinance
in Birmingham will have harmful
effect which will be far-reaching.
This city needs good streets and
many other things far more than it
needs the suppression of the so-called
smoke nuisance.
Better for the people who cannot
stand Birmingham smoke to move
away than to handicap the pay roll
makers; better for the commission
itself to move out of town than to
cripple the industries that are here;
better anything almost than an idle
furnace or factory.
Be practical, Mr.. Weatherly, and
call off your smoke inspectors; the
sooner the better.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-28

utterly inadequate. The terminal that
Commodore Vanderbilt built in New
York, where the new terminal now
stands, was considered ample for at
least so years, and yet in 10 years it
began to be too small to accommodate
the increasing business. After sew
eral unsatisfactory enlargements, it
was decided to raze the old building,
which had cost millions, and to put up
a new one which will, where it stands
complete, cost $3.50, 100000.
No other city has a terminal cost
ing such sum, and it is safe to say
no other city will have terminal of
equal cost in a generation, at least.
We have but one metropolis, and
there are no signs that we will ever
have another.
