The fight made by the people of Ward

the city council Thursday evening, when
a resolution was adopted authorizing the
water and lights committee, in conjunc-
tion with the mayor, to negotiate a con-
tract with the Admission Water Supply
company and report back to the council.
The city council favored the Alabama
Pipe and Foundry company Thursday
evening by authorizing the mayor TO
execute deed conveying a strip of land
to the company for the purpose of MAX
ing room for extension of the company s
plant, The extension granted will amount
to the closing of an unused street.

TWO TRAINS MAY Be
RUN TO TUSCALOOSA
L. & N. Considering Inau-
gurating Double Service
From Birmingham

That the Louisville and Nashville Will
inaugurate double daily service between
Birmingham and Tuscaloosa on the Tus-
caloosa Mineral was rumored In indus
trial circles yesterday. The company Off
cials announced that the details OF such
a programme were not ready for general
circulation and nothing would be given
out officially for few weeks yet. How
ever, residents of Tuscaloosa here yester-
day, as well as others In touch with that
booming city are irc1ined to think that
the line will be operated with a double
service during the coming summer.
The new line was opened about one
year ago. The affair was properly cele-
brated in Tuscaloosa Since that time the
freight shipments and passenger business
has grown considerably. That additional
passenger service would be justified now
is said to be the conclusion OF the Louis
Vile and Nashville after one year Of op-
erations, during which tho volume has
been properly tested.
Tho limo opened up a new route to Tus-
caloosa from Birmingham, which In said
to have caused a great Influx of mining
operations to that territory That other
lines OF IuuubLrlHI WOTk ndV6 alSo pccu
opened up by the line is generally under
stood.
The proposed additional passenger serv-
ice would be of considerable value not
only to Birmingham, but to Tuscaloosa.
That the two communities would be
drawn that much nearer is also believed
to be fact in connection with the pro-
1ected opening.
Officials of the Louisville and Nashville
said yesterday that the matter was being
seriously considered and an announce
ment would be made at the proper time,

The Need of Wireless

From the Chicago Journal.
The disasters In Ohio and Indiana
prove tho need of comprehensive sys-
tenn Of wireless telegraphy; system
that shall be f1ood-proof, and that
will make impossible for any eonsid-
e-able number of people or section of
country to be cut off from the rest OF
the world.
Several thousand people are dead In
the tracks of the floods. Other thous-
ands are marooned on hillool1s or
housetops; shelterles, fireless and hun
cry Their friends acn get no word
OF comfort to them, and they can get
no call for help to their friends. Sus-
pense caused by lack of communication
doubles the agony of the disaster.
If this terrible experience Is repeated,
1t should find, the country prepared.
The United States Weather Bureau
could use a. wireless system very hand =
fly in it's daily work. The war depart
ment would need such a system in case
of war. Unless private enterprise in
stalls wireless as a commercial enter
prise, the government should do 30 as
an emergency provision against dis

He double somersaulted instant

graphed his acquiescence to the
secretary's demands. The mail
was too slow for him. Another
thing the governor has done
recently is the letter he wrote to
the supervisors of registration
ordering them peremptorily to
register all white men. His
exact words are: Let no white
man be refused

carefully to see just how far the
supervisors ought to go, and |
take the liberty of advising them
to obey the law-the strict letter
of the law-and register only

will take the oath required. That
oath is as follows:

The filbert Picnic.

The annual picnic at Filbert
is announced for August 1. This
picnic has grown to be an insti-

first one, rather an insignificant
affair, was held i'm 1901. 1t has
been held each year since under
the auspices of the F'ilbert
Camp w. o. w. On several
occasions the crowd has been
estimated from three to five
thousand people.
1t is understood that this year
Governor Blease, the Hon. John
l.. McLaurin, the Hon. M. l..
Smith, the Hon. Chas. A. Smith
and the Hon. George K. Rem

FOR The COMMON GOOD
CONFERENCE WILL Be HELD

The first meeting of the Con-
ference for the Common Good
will be held in Columbia. Aupust
9th and 7th. For this MEETING
the railroads entering Columbia
have granted special rates and a
large attendance is expected
The purpose of this conference
is to offer an opportunity for
men and women who have at
heart the best interests of the
State to come together and dis.
cuss vital significant things and
endeavor to arrive at a remedy
for the evils which exist, and TO
assist each other in all efforts
for the common good. The
movement is non-political and
the conference will discuss prin.
ciples and not personalities. II
is hoped that its conclusions
may deserve the support of all
lovers of the State regardless of
political affiliations. The con-
ference is intended to be merely
a preliminary to county con-
ferences to be held later in the
summer or in connection with
the county fairs in the fall. II
will be noted by reading the
program that it is not made I'm
of long papers. Men have been
asked TO state their conclusions
in few minutes and then the
subject will be open to general
discussion. The committee ex.
tends cordial invitation to
everybody to attend this con.
ference and to unite in a resolve
to think and talk about the
things that are worth while.

Wants Voters to Register.

The York county board of
registration is anxious to give
every man who is qualified under
the law, the opportunity to secure
a registration certificate; but
after a careful canvass of the
situation, is at a loss to decide
whether it is worth while to
make a round of the county.
The fact is that York is already
one of the best registered coun-
ties there is in the State, the
registration list being only a few
votes short of the votes actually
cast in the last primary. There
are, of course, a number of peo-
pie who have not yet registered;
but all these can be accommo-
dated during the present year
if they will only come forward
on the remaining first Mondays,
and attend to the matter. The
registration board hopes that
every registered voter will make
1t his business to hunt up un-
registered voters and urge them
to come to Yorkville on the first
Monday in August. -Yorkville
