.JEM|SON URGES
OWNERS TO BUILD
Residences in Fairfield Will
Be Needed to Supply the
Great Demand

In large and sngularly attractive ad-
vertisement in yesterday mornings Age
Herald, the Jemison Real Estate and In
surance company urges the owners of va
cant lots in Fairfield to improve their
property at once with residences, as the
demand for homes in Fairfield is now far
in excess of the supply, and will be much
greater when the mill of the American
Steel and Wire company is completed.
The advertisement attracted much atten-
ton in real estate circles because it con-
tained authentic statements about the
gratifying situation in Fairfield today, and
was accepted as the forerunner of an ac-
tive period in real estate, both in Fairfield
and in the city.
The paragraphs in the advertisement
which attracted most attention are the
following:
ITO the owners of vacant lots in Fair
field we would say with all the emphasis
we can that now is the time to build resi-
dences. Good, steady tenants will be
waiting for them before they are conn.,
pleted.
ITO those who do not own lots in Fair
field, we would also say that now is an
equally opportune time for them to buy
and build, and thus make a dividend pro-
ducing investment in addition to the mere
ment of their property, which is abso-
lutely certain

FREED THROUGH
IMPROPER SENTENCE
Mike Mimic Released in
Montgomery After the
Court Affirms Verdict

Montgomery, June 25.-(Special.) )-After
Mike Mimic had been convicted and sem
fenced to six months in prison for op-
Grating a gaming table in Montgomery
and the court of appeals had affirmed
the sentence, he was made a free man,
by a verdict of Judge Castor Gunter of
the city court in habeas corpus proceed
ngs Wednesday,
Mintos release was ordered on the
ground that he should have been SEN
fenced to hard labor for Montgomery
county instead OF to the penitentiary
The county solicitors office would take
no part in the fight to prevent the re-
lease of Mimic, saying that some one
had been a traitor to the state.
Robert C. Brickell, attorney general, ap-
peared for the state and agreed to MintC's
release. Judge Gunter in liberating Minto
admitted that the sentence was improper.
While we sentenced him previously we
were sorry to do sC,'' said Judge Gunter.
I'VE urged that a pardon be granted, or
rather parole during good behavior. For
reasons, probably his standing in this
community, the parole was not granted.
Now we, this same court that handed
down the original sentence, believe the
sentence improper and grant this writ OF
habeas corpus and discharge the prisoner
at the bar
Governor ONeal refused to grant Mimic
parole last week after majority of the
state board of pardons and many citizens
of Montgomery had recommended cle-
mency.

RIDDLE MAY RUN TO
SUCCEED bR|CKEL[
Several Well Known POliti-
clans from Various Parts
of State Were Here

r. II. Riddle of Goodwater, while in
Birmingham yesterday, intimated very
strongly that he would be a candidate
for attorney general in the impending 3
state campaign. Mr.. Riddle was cam
didate for that office in the campaign
of 1910.
The Indications now are that there
will be at least four candidates for the
position occupied by r. C. Brickell.
Ernest Fite of Hamilton, who repre-
sented Marion county in the senate last
year, will, in all probability, enter the
race. Col. Gardner Greene of Pell City
is an announced candidate. Logan Mar
tin, present assistant attorney general
will be a candidate. Fred Wall of Bir-
mingham is also discussed as probable
entrant.
There was quiet political gossip
galore in Birmingham yesterday. A. II.
Brindley, Etowah's representative in
the Legislature, was visitor. He is
strong in his belief that prohibition is
the safest policy for the state to
adopt, and spoke at considerable length
concerning that intangible individual,
the liquor boss" He will he a candi-
date for the state senate, and it is con-
sidered practically certain that he will
win. His district is composed of st.
Clair and Etowah, and as st. Clair, in
the last campaign, furnished the MEM
ber, Etowah's candidate will win next
fall.
John Brown, a former member of the
legislature from Cleburne county, was
another visitor. Mr. Brown is an ardent
admirer of former Gov. B. b. Conner.
and declares that that candidate will
win in C1eburne county. Another well
known visitor was j. Fall Robertson of
Cropwell. st. Clair's representative in
the Legislature.

O'NEAL COMMENDS THE
ACTION OF SUPREME COURT

Montgomery, June 25.-(Special)-Gov
ernor O'Neal is delighted to know that
the supreme court will no longer reverse
judgments of trial courts on mere errors
of practice and procedure unless it is
shown that such errors were preiudicial

Henderson Explains S2.75
Rate on Pig Iron From
This City to Savannah
POLICY OF BENEFIT
TO MANUFACTURERS
In Answer to Query by Mobile Paper
Henderson States Mobile Not
Disseminated Against-No
Competition at Mobile

Montgomery. June 25.-(Special)-
construction of pig iron rates from Bir-
mingham to Savannah and Birmingham
to Mobile discrimination against Mo
bile would be unjust and illegal, but
different conditions are faced and rail-
roads in charging a lower rate to Sa-
vannah are only meeting competition
which they do not have to Mobile.
This was Charles Henderson's state
ment Wednesday in answer to an in
quiry of the Mobile Register about
whether or not the Alabama railroad
commission would make new rates for
Mobile and aid in making Mobile the
port for Alabama exports.
Rate Made to Meet Competition
Mr.. Henderson said the rate of $2.75
per ton to Savannah was made by
railroads in order to permit Alabama
furnaces to meet competition of the
northern and eastern furnaces. "In 9TH
er words, this competition made it nee
essary for the railways to establish a
S2.75 rate to Savannah, Ga, just as it
has been necessary for them to estab-
lish highly competitive rates to Ohio
river points where this northern pig
iron competition was met" he stated
The candidate for governor then said
1t was his belief the Alabama pig iron
manufacturers had been greatly bene-
fitted by the DolicV
Only a proper hearing before. the rail-
road commission can determine whether
or not the rate TO Mobile is not unjust
and unreasonable, and MIR. Henderson
said the comparison between the two
rates in question is not fair comparison.
and does not, in itself, establish the fact
that the rate to Mobile is unjust or un-
reasonable"
Referring to competition, Mr. Henderson
said:
No Discrimination
1T is a well recognized principle, both
by rate making bodies and courts, that
competition may fix rates that may not
be just and reasonable where competition
does not exist, were this not true, then
Mobile would not enjoy a rate of 70 cents
per 100 pounds, first class. from New York,
while Montgomery, Birmingham and other
Alabama points nearer to New York had
a rate of 1.14 per 100 pounds.
