er within reasonable length of time.
An order to this effect was received yes
terday by local Postmaster I. H Aldrich

Hitchcock. The order Is said to be the
last one of importance issued by Mr..
Hitchcock as Postmaster General of the
United States. 1t was issued March B.

known, expired March 4.
The order is Jonly another step in the
governments move to make the parcel

it is possible. BY this means any person
may mail, telegraph. telephone or by other
means can order, say, for example, new

it is delivered by the parcel post man at
the other end of its journey he will collect
from the man who ordered it the price
charged by the hardware dealer and send
the money by postal money order back
to the merchant. Postal officials are of
the opinion that the system will become
very popular soon after it is placed in
operation.
Mr.. Aldrich has already placed in oper-
alton q recent order received in regard
to special delivery of parcel post matter.
An ordinary 10 cent special delivery stamp
placed upon parcel post package by this
order secures the packages immediate

postoffice, in exactly the same Way as

died at the present time.
The order in regard to &c o. d. de-
'liyery of parcel post packages has one
limitation, which is to the effect that tho
value of the package or the amount to be
collected shall not exceed 500. In other
regards the regular parcel post rules

REV. EDMUNDS ACCEPTS CALL
TO PASTORATE OF THE SOUTH
HIGHLANDS PRESBYTERIAN
WILL TAKE UP HIS WORK HERE
ABOUT APRIL 1-MR. BOWIE
EXPLAINS THE ARGUMENTS,
USED

He saw Birmingham is what Sid
ney J. Bowie. member of the commits
tee selected by the South Highlands
Presbyterian church to secure If pos
sible the services of the Rev. II. M.
Edmonds as their pastor, says was the
argument" that induced the Rev. Ed
munds to accept.
When, the call was first sent from the
South Highlands church to Rev. Ed
munds, who was then pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Mont
gomery, 1t was met with little favor 1t
being stated that the pastor did not
desire to leave his field in Montgom-
cry. However Friday night in Mont
gomery the Rev Mr. Edmunds pre-
scented his resignation to the officers
of his church, announcing that he had
accepted the pastorate in this city.
Word to this effect was received in Bir-
mingham by the officials and members
of the South Highlands church yester-
day morning
I'VE prevailed upon Mr.. Edmunds to
come to Birmingham and preach, which
he did," said Mr.. Bowie. He came. he
saw-and Caesars famous message was
changed on this occasion for-'we' con-
quered. AT one time 1t looked very
doubtful whether or not Rev Edmunds
would accept, but it seems that the
truth of the matter is nobody who
ever gets chance to come to Bir-
mingham can refuse it and this case
was no exception.
"The officers and members of the
South Highlands church are delighted
over their success in securing DR.. Ed
munds He is one of the most promi-
nent Presbyterian ministers in the
south and we feel that he will be of
great service to the people of Bir-
mingham and our cuhrch in particular
Seriously, DR.. Edmunds accepted our
call because he saw without a doubt
that there was a greater field for his
services here. He is especially inter
ested in work among boys and young
men, and he believes that there is a
larger and better field in Birmingham

Baugh Says Boulevard From Ensley
to East Lake Would Be Great
est Monument to Present
Commission

Unless the commissioners use the
big stick" the vested interests" that
lis to say the railroads and corporations
will, it is understood attempt to kill
the proposed boulevard between East
Lake and Birmingham to be constructed
with standard pavement
It was intimated yesterday by one of
the railway executive agents in Bir-
ming that unless forced to do so. the
railroads will not participate in the
proposed construction" The proposed
boulevard is to be constructed across
the Sloss grade crossing along property
owned by the Central of Georgia, Ala
bama Great Southern, Southern and Mo
bile and Ohio railroads. The Sloss COM
lpany and the Birmingham Realty com
pany form the largest property owners
with the railroads enumerated.
The reason for not participating In
the proposed boulevard as given by one
of the representatives was. I'VE do not
consider the proposed boulevard a ne
cessity and will not support it unless
forced to do So" That they will be
forced to do so" is an extreme prob
ability as President EXum, Mr.. Wealth
erly and Judge Lane are not inclined
| to permit these corporations to dis
Irupt "a plan that has taken like wild
fire and which it is claimed will be
one of the greatest road building
schemes under the commission admins
tration.
One Road Owns $3.50 Feet
One of the railroads-the Alabama
Great Southern--owns 1850 feet facing
the proposed boulevard. That land Is
said to have been bought to be utilized
for a freight house when Birmingham
gets to population of 100000. In the
meantime the company does not in
tend 1t is said to assist in the boule-
ward project because that valuable
piece of land would be assessed for its
share of the boulevard expense.
This attitude of the railroads which
while not officially announced, will be
disappointing to some of those work
ing for the boulevard. 1t was supposed
that the larger interests would read
lily see the good of the boulvard and
would join the small property owner
in accomplishing this work for the good
Tor the whole community.
