DULY CELEBRATED

and Pelham Chapter Daughters of
COnfederacy Hold Meeting

Admiral Raphael Semmes' birthday was
fittingly celebrated yesterday by the men,
bers Of Camp Hardee, Confederate vet
Grams. and the members of Pelham chap
ter, Daughters of the Confederacy. Capt.
]. T. S. Wade was the orator of. the
occasion and made an ado. .ess on the war
record of the distinguished seaman. A
pleasant feature was the comforting OF
crosses of honor on about a dozen Con-
federate veterans by Mrs. Augustus Ben
ners. retiring president of Pelham chapter.
The meeting was we'll attended and in
cluded quite number of ladies' and Wis
sitors Commander T. A. Hamilton pre-
sided and introduced the speakers In an

of the remarkable career of Admiral
Semmes on the high Seas and of his dar-
ing and boldness in destroying the Yam

ing incidents in which Admiral SeHmes
evaded the enemy's fleet, and OF the kind
ly manner in which he treated the pris-
oners that fell into his hands. He graph
icaly described the fight with the ''Kear-
sage" and the sinking of the alabama.
Captain Wade was given close attention
throughout his interesting and historical
address and was roundly applauded at its
conclusion.
Mrs. Augustus :Benners performed the
last of her duties as president OF Pelham
chapter by presenting crosses of honor
to the veterans that had made applica-
ton for them during her term of office.

ed president of Pelham chapter.

CLUB DENOUNCES
MODERN DANCES


At a very enthusiastic meeting of the
"a. A. o." club Friday night, the mem
bers were firm in their denunciation of
the so-called fancy dances, Including the
"turkey-trot,' Tango" "bunny-hug,"
walk George ETC., and resolutions were
adopted to forbid these frivolities at the
receptions and dances given by this club,
owing to the severe criticism and wide-
spread denunciation which these so-called
fancy dances are receiving at the hards
of the public.
The "a. A. o." club is located on Ave
nue. f and Eleventh street and has a
membership of SO young men. The OBJ
ject of the club is to further the ad-
vancement of its members In an athletic,
social and intellectual way. The club has
had splendid success during the past
three months and the members are Jubi-
liant over the prospect of an addition to
their present hall.

SELMA SCHOOLS IN
CROWDED CONDITION

Selma, September 27.-{Special 1.-The
members of the board of trustees of the
Selma public schools are now confronted
with the same problem which confronted
them this time last year. Crowded schools
despite the fact that during the year
a large and commodious high school
building has been erected. The enrolment
at the different public schools ofsthe city
during the week has demonstrated there
is not sufficient school room for the> ac-
commodation of the large number OF
pupils who want to attend the city
schools.
The board of trustees Of the schools are
expected to hold meeting during the
next week or so and-go over the situation.
It is very probable that at this meeting
they will devise some plan for the erec-
ton Of more schools. both for the white
and negro children

Will Ignore Government

Edinburgh, Scotland, September q.
The Right Honorable Alexander Uro, lord
advocate of Scotland. addressed his con-
stitrents today, referred to the Ulster
question:. He said the proposed provi-
sional government would be treated by
the banks Ia the same way they would
treat South American republic and that
it would collapse of it's own weight in a
few weeks.
Regarding the suggested conference of
the political parties he said that pro-
vided the principle of home rule was &C.
cepted by their political opponents, the
government would be willing to enter the
conference and ready to negotiate upon
the question of greater representation for
Ulster in the Irish parliament. They would
also listen favorably to proposals, giving
Ulster absolute control of its educational
and religious affairs. They could have it
put into words so as to remove all doubt
and timidity on the part of the Ulster peo-
pie. He rejoiced to observe indications,
which, he hoped would be stronger next
week, in the direction ora conference for
a friendly compromise.

MOVEMENT OF COTTON
HAS BEEN VERY RAPID

Selma, September 27.-(speciaL)
The movement of the cotton crop i'll
central Alabama has been very rapid
during the first month of the new COM
mercial year. The rapid movement of
cotton is perhaps due to the fact that
the hot weather of August and the first
part of September caused the staple to
open very rapidly.
: The high price which the staple Is
now bringing is another cause for its
being marketed freely by the farmers
of this section. During the first 81
days of the new commercial year there
has been received in Selma more than
$4,000 bales of cotton or an average
of over 1000 bales a day. .

M'CORD AND JULIAN
MAY HAVE TO HUSTLE.
B. III. Cooper Thinking Seri-
ously of Running for Rail-
road Commissioner

The blow that Frank N. Julian and
Leon Mecord have been anticipating with
a kind, of dread is about to fall.
In their race for reelection to the rail-
road commission of the state, they will
probably have opposition. Up to the pres
ent time, no one as an opponent of either
has been discussed. and it was considered
quite likely that they would escape as
easily as Thomas e. Kilby. unopposed
candidate for lieutenant governor, and
William +. Feagin, unopposed candidate
for superintendent of education.
Ben H. Cooper will in all probability be
candidate for railroad commissioner.
He is one OF the best known residents of
Birmingham and has wide acquaintance
throughout the state. He has served in
the municipal government, and at the
present time is the head of an Insurance
company
Yesterday, Mr.. Cooper said: IT am
thinking seriously Of entering the race
for the commissien. My friends have been
insisting that l become candidate. and
there promises to be broad field for
general usefulness in which the members
of the next commission might exert them
Selves
1T is very probable that the members
of the commission will be placed in charge
of all the public utilities of the state,
and the department will be one of the
most important of the state government.
II will have something to say in defi-
mite way in day or so. The chances are
now that win rLn."
1t is generally admitted that Mr.. Cooper
will be a formidable candidate in case
he does make a formal announcement

NOLAN COMPL PLA1NS
MOVING VAN RATES
City Will Investigate Alleged
- Imposition on Public Dur
ing Moving Season"

Complaint has been made to the city
commission of an alleged increase in
the rates of transfer companies to take
effect during the moving season
the last of September and iirst few
days of October. No action has been
taken as President C. Exum is the only
member of the commission in the city,
"'rhe matter will be Investigated,
however" said Mr.. Exum yesterday.
las far as I am aware there may be
law on the statuA hooks now regu-
lating these rates. But if we find there
is not and that an injustice is being
worked on the public by any increase
in rates by the transfer companies, we
will proceed to handle it just like we
would handle any other imposition
we will adopt an ordinance protecting
the public and regulating rates for
moving vans and transfer wagons"
Commissioner weatherly will return
probably Monday and If 1t is found
that there is no ordinance regulating
transfer rates. such an ordinance prob
ably will be introduced Tuesday. if evil
dence is shown that any transfer COM
pany is unjustly attempting to increase
rates. SO that 1t can be effective dur
ing the moving season. almost at hand.
The formal complaint made ytster-
day by r. Z. Nolan. 615 First National
bank building, is as follows:
''The transfer companies of the city
have advanced their prices for moving
vans from the usual charge of So per load
& TO IS per load for the moving season. This
applies to the covered vans. The usual
charge for automobile trucks of Sc per
load has been increased to so per load
and in come instances more. The excuse
of the transfer companies is that they
have to increase their forces during the
moving season, but in my estimation the
service performed is exactly the same
if they do increase their forces, it is
merely matter of getting each party
moved little quicker so as to be able
to perform the same services for others.
The transfer company which 1 cominun-
icated with is the Camp Transfer COM
pany and the above prices We're quoted
me for moving furniture from Virginia
avenue to the Louisville and Nashville
team track, and the prices and reasons
are as set forth above.
II am aware of no regulation affecting
this, but it can certainly be regulated
just as the charges of the cab men, The
service is absolutely imperative during
the moving season and if some regulation
is not imposed, there will be no limit to
the amount that may be charged.
"R. E. NOLAN"
