Automobile Speeding

'The automobile situation in Birming-
ham is no worse than it is in other cities,
perhaps. but men and women in crossing
the streets in our business district are
often in jeopardy" said a merchant.
"ln the first place, the speed law should
be strictly enforced, ana I am inclined TO
think that the law should be amended so
as to reduce the speed. 1t would be bet
ter if automobiles barely creeped along
the streets. AT night chauffeurs seem
very reckless on some or the downtown
thoroughfares. / have noticed frequently
automobiles whizzing on Fifth avenue at
the rate of % or so miles an hour. That
there are not more fatal accidents seems
to be asmiracle.''

The Dog War Is Over

"The dog men are much interested
in the decision of the National Field
Trial club at its meeting in Montgom-
cry in the matter of the war over
dogs rather than the dogs of war" said
a sportsman.
ut has been a matter of much dis
cussion in the publications devoted to
field sports as to whether the Inter-
national Field Trials club did not take
unfair action of disbarment against
Jim Avent in the question of run
ming dog in a class for which he
was barred by age The question was
determined adversely to Avent on the
testimony of a veterinarian, who based
his finding on the teeth of the dog.
Such tempest was raised by owners
of dogs and other sportsmen that the
matter came up before the National
Field Trials club in Montgomery last
night. 1t has been the rule of the clubs
that disbarment in any recognized field
trial club automatically operated
against trainer in all. Well the Ma
tional Field Trials club, by a vote of
23 to 8, declined to recognize the In
ternational club. And so Avent and his
great dog, Momoney. and other dogs
in his hands can compete in the great
est trials of the year, which begun, by
the way, today, at Letohatchie, in
Lowndes county. l understand that
there is a very full attendance of dog
lovers, owners and trainers, and that
some phenomenal work is expected
from the list of noted dogs and novices
entered. I think the original entries
number about 100 dogs; of course, there
will be many that will not qualify"

The Things We Do.

It isn't the thing you do, dear;
It's the thing you leave nndone
Which gives you a bit Of heartache
At the setting Of the sun.
The tender word forgotten;
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way,
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say,
The loving touch of the hand, dear.
The gentle and winsome tone,
That had no time nor thought for,
With troubles enough Of your own,
The little acts Of kindness
So easily out Of mind,
Those chances to be angels
Which every one may find,
They come in night and silence,
Each chill. reproachful wrath.
When hope is faint and tagging,
And a blight has dropped on faith,
For life Is all o short, dear,
And sorrow Is all too great.
So suffer Jul great compassion
That tarries until toe late;
And it's not the thing you do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone.
Which gives you the bit of heartache
At the setting Of the sun.

Inasmuch as Alderman George Sal

bereaved family and our respect for
our late colleague. both as a man n
a fellow councilman. Mr.. Salisbury
was one Of the pioneers in this state.
Of which he became a resident thirty
the pioneer-strong individuality. in
dependence Of judgment, respect for
industry, love Of good fellowship. As
a member Of the council during the
last seven years he was always faith
full in his duties, taking an intelligent
and lively interest in h welfare OF
our city. AS chairman OF the impor-
he not. only looked after the work nat
urally falling to that committee. but
he bore the burden Of various other
matters having little or nothing to do
with the regular work Of this commit

was noticeahly genial and tovial. We
shall miss his ready wit which was al
ways In evidence at our iiee.'heS ottu
which enlivened many a tedious hour
of routine business.
To his widow and his children we
extend u sincere sympathy. We di-
rect that this expression Of esteem be
spread upon the minutes of the coun-
eli and that a copy be sent to the
family Of our late associate.
