Not ENOUGH Goatskins.

The. present demand for goat kid
skins exceeds anything Of the kind be-
fore known, and the remotest places
in India, South America and Europe
and everywhere else goats are kept are
now visited by collectors to obtain
them. This demand arises from the
recent discovery Of new methods Of
treating the skins, which not only
make them substitute for calf kid
as shoe leather, but also render them
suitable for us in dress trimming.
When specially dyed and finished they
find great favor with dressmakers and
are used for vests, strappings, pipings,
blouses and even for underskirts for
country wear. They also play part

POLICE OFFICERS MUST
NOT TALK POLITICS TODAY

Today is election. day-and for the first
time in the history of Birmingham the
political activity of the city police will
be missed, as it is against the law for
any officer of the city to speak for or
against any candidate Old-time POLICE
men at the city hall yesterday spoke with
regret that the old order was passing and
said that they didn't know what new
tangled laws would be thought of next.
The orders to guard the polls were
given out Saturday night and to each
officer assigned to such duty at the is
various booths in greater Birmingham
the following order was also given: PA
trolmen detailed at the polls must not
say anything for or against any cand-
dates, and must not talk politics at all
to anyone. You are placed at the polls
for the sole purpose of maintaining or
der.
'.Remember that the law governing city
elections is very strict and therefore be
sure and do not violate the same your

A SOUTHERN GIRL

Clayton, September 14.-(Speclal.) 1.-The
following has been written concerning .he
work of well known Clayton gird:
Learn to do one thing well, and the
world will beat path to your door,"
This is why, when the Utica Conserv-
atory of Music. N. Y, sought far and
wide the best talent with which to en-
dow the institution. a little brown-eyed
girl from way down south in Dixie
Miss veta ventrees by name-was ten
dered a position there.
But thereby hangs tale" There be
those in the obscure little village of her
birth who have known from her
early childhood all the story Of her up
ward climb" How when but child she
and her youthful competitors in music
used to be screened from sight, and
judges brought In to hear them play and
to determine on respective degrees of ex-
cellence, her piece was always the one
agreed upon by those who did not know
who rendered 1t.
Passing from childhood, she was borne
forward by the two-fold impetus of pa
tient and persistent teaching and her own
unwavering purpose to succeed. After
thorough preparation at home. she later
attended the Alabama Conference Fe-
male college, and later still graduated
in the piano and literary departments Of
the Sullins College and Conservatory of
Music. Also completing the course of
piano and pipe organ at Knoxville. Tenn.
This is how. by toilsime, plodding up
ward steps, this veritable little witch of
the keyboard comes now. to meet her
present preferment. 1t is but the dowry
of determination, intelligence and skill.
and the merited recognition of one of our
southern girls which should bring thrill
of pride to every southern heart.
Miss ventress left Clayton on Septem-
ber 4. made the trip alone and reached
Utica. N. ". on September 6. entering
upon her work at the opening of the
school on Monday. September 8.

provement yesterday, and all will recover
They are Nj. l.. Radford. the engineer on
the illfated engine; Hamp Fletcher, a
brakeman on the train, and Sanford Burs,
e negro bridge laborer, all residing in
Parrish.
The wreck happened AZ miles west of
Birmingham arhd about 10 miles east O.

1t cost the lives of two white men and one
negro and seriously injured nine other
persons. Accounts of the wreck We're that
an engine pulling two coal cars from the
Stith mines was crossing the wooden tres

it is said that it will be several days be-
fore the trestle can be repaired sufficient

The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-15

1t is said that the actual reason why
the past city campaign has been marked
by such quiet is the fact that the 100
or more police officers who in past years
have usually been effective political
workers were kept silent this year be-
cause of the clause in the commission
bill which would put them in jail If they
were politically active.
Chief of Police George II. Bodeker
stated last night that he did not think
that any of the police took enough in
terest in the election to talk about it and
anticipated no trouble today.
"It has been an exceedingly quiet cam
paign, said Chief BodelSer last night,
''and free from the excitement of past
city campaigns. In the past the police
were, more or less active for their favored
candidates, but the commission bill has
put stop to that, although that was
hardly necessary, as I do not believe that
any OF my officers would have gone out
of their way to work for any of the
candidates. 1t certainly has been the
quietest campaign in the history of Bir-
mingham.' ~

Provisions of Bill

PRECINCT NO. fo-OllY. nfe department,
Wylam.
Provisions of Bill
This will be, as stated. the first cleo
ton under the provisions of the COM
mission government bill enacted by the
legislature in it's last session. BY the
provisions of the bill, the man elected
will have to receive a majority of the
votes polled. IN case neither receives
a majority, run-off election will be
held next Monday and the rivals will be
the two men who will receive today the
largest and next largest number of votes
The general opinion is that of the
candidates. George B. Ward is unques-
tionably the strongest. The prediction
is that If Birmingham proper polls it's
entire strength he will receive a ma
jority today. While the belief is gen.
eral that Wards next competitor is
Mr.. Allen, there is some discussion to
the end that 1T may possibly happen
that Wood Will outstrip him in the
race.
That the auditorium will win is gen
orally admitted.
Position of Ensley
Ensley. the strongest unit Of Bir-
mingham's suburban voting strength.
has attracted the attention of the peo-
pie since the incipiency of the current
campaign.
In Ensley, for example, the audi
torium, it is generally believed, will
receive Its only "black eye" 1t will
win, it is predicted, in every other
suburb.
IN Ensley also, is the strongest anti
Ward following, while it is probable
that in every other suburb Ward VIII.
lead the ticket, it is declared by the
followers of his opponents, that he will
be beaten in Ensley.
Both Allen and Wood claim that
suburb. Ward contends that in spite OF
feeling that has been engendered
against him in certain quarters and by
a certain faction, he will be able to
hold his own there, and that elsewhere
he will make a ''clean sweep" of the
field.
Features of Election
The election will be conducted in a
manner different from that in which
preceding municipal elections have
been conducted. For instance, the hur-
rying hacks sailing throughout the
city, will be missing. The candidates
will not appear at the polls for the
purpose of urging their claims on the
voters. The friends of candidates.. or
paid hirelings of candidates-in case
there are any--will not appear at tho
polls for the purpose of crying out the
necessity of supporting our candi-
date"
1t is specifically provided in the bill
that there shall be no speechmaking on
the streets of the city, no harranguing
of a mob, no expression of threats or
anarchistic demonstrations. There shah
be no singing, no serving of sand
wiches and coffee, no Haunting of BAN
ners.
All saloons, of course, will be closed.

Importance Of Mondays Election

To the EQltOr Ine ASe-I1erdiu
Greater Birmingham will on next Mon
day elect it's first president of the city
commission under the act of the legisla-
ture creating the commission form of gov
srnment. vainly opposed that form of
government for this city, but now aol
frank to admit that it is good thing
provided the people place in charge of
it good, practical business men; Birming-
ham has gotten to be huge corporation.
and not unlike the great Steel corpora
ton and the big railroad systems of this
country she will not permit of inexperi-
enced officials as its directors.
In looking over the list of candidates
aspiring to this most important position
of public trust, we find three Of our best
and most highly esteemed citizens. name-
ly: Messrs. Clement r. Wood, Vassar l..
Allen and George B. Ward.
Without prejudice, the paramount ques-
ton is which of these gentlemen are best
fitted for this most important position.
In Mr.. Wood, we have young lawyer
full of impracticable ideas that could not
be put in force.
In Mr.. Allen, we have another lawyer
who not unlike Mr.. Wood Is making us
many flowery promises that he cannot
fulfill.
In Mr.. Ward. we have trained busi-
ness man who has served the people of
Birmingham twice as mayor and accom-
( plished many good things for the people
and especially for the common people. He
has made a study of the commission form

II, TO take charge of this important
branch of the city government will be no
experiment with Mr., Ward. He has made
few promises, but will meet the issues as
tthey come before him. He can be de-
pended upon. He has been tried and
found not wanting. The people can also
be depended upon and l believe Will on
next Monday elect George B, Ward presi-
dent of the commission by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority.
In conclusion will say that to elect
either Mr.. Wood or Mr.. Allen at this time
would put three lawyers on the board
which I do not think would be wise. Let's
