Interest In the Work

Il have watched with much interest
the creation of the steel frame work
of the Jefferson County Savings banl,
building said a business man yes
terday, land to me, the manner in
which the work has been carried on
thus far is little short of marvellous.
From the digging of the founda-
tons to the present time every part
of the work has been done with dis
patch. There has been no material de-
lay thus far either on account of wealth
er conditions or lack of steel and the
building seems to progress by leaps
and bounds. One cannot help but ad-
mire the dexterity of the men who
handle the massive steel beams and put
them in their places Each man seems
to know his duty and all the men work
together without the slightest hitch or
confusion.
THE massiveness of the steel beams
and Sirders is the subject of much
comment From the looks of things at
this time a new record will be estab-
lished in the construction of buildings
of this character,

FIERCE GAME OF GOLF

club to a handicap match. The day was
extremely warm, even for Rhodesa. At

opponents, and they had been dragged
from the field Without stopping to rest,
continued my fast game. By 4 o'clock
the last member of the club had sue

162 pounds, and came out weighing "a. So
great was my excessive perspiration that
my caddy slipped in the mud that fol-

verify the truth of this story, and will be
glad to produce it at any time"

known there as dope" has increased
enormously. I went into drug store for

stick in 1t to be had in town.
Certainly not" he answered. "Go into
any of the clubs you see around here, in

street. A couple are in the next block.

Omen Air Concerts

1t is hoped that the movement now
On foot to provide for Sunday con-
certs in the parks during the summer
will be successful. Every city as large
as Birmingham needs open air music
during the summer season not only on
Sunday but every day in the week.
When the first series of park con-
certs were given about three years
ago the money to pay for the music
was contributed by few large COM
panies and many individuals. The sec
ond year the city was induced to ap-
propriate $500 and it gave a like
amount again last year. But the vol
untary contributions of individuals
were so small last year as to be almost
negligible in quantity.
If it is proposed to have only Sun
day concerts this year the musicians
will either have to be paid for rehear-
sails or the music would be very poor.
There are many good band players in
Birmingham now, but in order to keep
them here throughout the summer
they must be employed. Brass and
reed players are always in demand
at resort places in June, July and Au-
gust. The park concerts last year
were enjoyed by thousands. The at
tendance on Sunday afternoon was al
ways large but when appeals were
made for small individual subscrip-
tions there was practically no re-
sponse.
If the city commission could start
the open air music fund with an ap-
preparation of $1,000, the Chamber OF
Commerce might donate $1,000 anG
with $4,000 thus raised an additional
$4,000 could be secured. With $4,000
Birmingham could have better music
this summer than ever.
AS to free concerts in the winter
season, only two or three cities have
them and those cities are SO rich that
they can make appropriations without
stint. Band concerts in the open ail

UNDERWOOD, THE READY
From the Mobile Register.

|
Good illustrations of Mr. Underwood's
readiness in the conduct of the tariff de-
bate were afforded by what happened
Monday. The republicans attacked a ma
jority of the paragraphs In the free list of
the democratic tariff bill. In almost ev-
cry instance they argued that admission
of the various articles free would ruin
the industry and would not reduce the
cost of living Mr.. Underwood pointed
out that this argument was inconsistent
I'm order to ruin the industries" he said
as you gentlemen seem bound to do, it
would be necessary to reduce the price
the producers receive. This would inevi-
tably result in a reduction to the consul
mer."
Most inconsistent, and self-contradic-
tory! Mr.. Underwood had but to point
| to the fact.
! At the night session Mr.. Good of Iowa,
who had been thinking so long and so
earnestly that he had worked out al
amendment to cover his thought, which
thought was that IL meat were allowed to
come in free the section of the law requir-
ing meat to be inspected at place of i'm
portation would automatically be res
pealed, and therefore an amendment was
needed to prevent the country from be-
! ing flooded" with diseasedssmeat. The
Cedar Rapids statesman must have shud-
dered as he impaired his discovery to his
| fellows of the House of Representatives;
but Mr.. Underwood remarked quietly that
Mr. Good had overlooked provision of
the pure food law requiring inspection
certificates satisfactory TO the Secretary
of Agriculture on all meat imported. II
this law had any lcopholes in 1t. he said
the democrats would pass one that would
absolutely safeguard American health.

Way to Reduce Cost of Living

we hear many complaints of the high
cost. of living, but if consumers would
only take the trouble to look at the
local quotations and see how cheap fish
are selling now the complaints would
grow less" said b. B. Hudson.
Il have never before seen the local
market so we'll supplied with fish of all
kinds. And they are selling as cheap
here In Birmingham as they are at the
coast. Housewives could take % cents
and secure enough fish for a family of
six or seven, while the same amount OF
money spent for some other meat would
hardly be enough for family of three
The present low prices can be ascribed
to the unusually large supply. One dealer

Adolph Triedler, son of o. G.
Trledler OF this city, has developed Il
talent in drawing that should be fos-
tered. He seems to have the true
artists instinct and his work so far
shows that he is TRUE artist. He
has drawn number of very excellent
pictures of the war and of the Off
GERS of the army and navy and they
show an artistical instinct which
schooling never brings forth. Adolph
is very bright boy and has set his
heart on being a cartoonist. He
speaks familiarly of Steele of the
Denver Post, of Wilmuth OF the Re-
publican and of Gilbert of the News
and scans carefully each day the
work that they do for their various
papers. He is modest and success
should crown his efforts with careful
