GREAT DYNAMITE
!. CHARGE EXPLODED
$4,000 Pounds Used in One
Blast at DOlcitO
Quarries

Except at the Panama canal there has
never been used in the south a greater
amount of dynamite in one charge than
was used yesterday at the Dolcito quarry
of the Birmingham Realty company
Shortly after o'clock in the presence of
large number of invited persons, a
charge of 1900 pounds of so per cent dyn-
amite was touched of. The earth trem-
bled, the hills rocked and there came
piling down to earth a mountain of be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 tons of rock to be
used In fuxing furnaces of this district.
The charge was handled by III. III. Hamil-
ton of the DUPONT Powder company, Sam
uel Oliver, the electrical man who han
died the electric generator, and Richard
Beatty, superintendent of the quarry.
The immense charge was placed in u
drilled wells which were six inches by
from 70 to So feet deep. In those holes
or wells was placed 172 cases of about
10000 pounds of SO per cent dynamite In
addition there We're 40 wells go feet deep
in which was placed 1000 pounds of 80
per cent dynamite The holes were con-
nected to an electric generator and
touched off with the electric spark.
The statement was made yesterday
by the men in charge of the .remeil-
dous discharge of dynamite that moth
Ing like that roar was ever heard in
the valley of Jones before. The tre-
mendous .blast was heard in 3irming-
ham, it was reported, and was the sub
ject of considerable speculation. 1t is
stated that steam shovels will be
placed at work on the 1oosened earth
tomorrow morning and it will be sew
eral days or perhaps longer before the
havoc wrought by the tremendous blast
Is cleared away

FREEMAN RETURNS
FROM LAND OF MEXICO
Understood He Will Soon Reach
Birmingham-Now in
Montreal

After running the peril of troubled Mex
leo and handling it is reported very diff
| ficult problem for his company, w. w.
Freeman of the Alabama Power COM
pany is back in the United States.
For Sperling & Co, of London Mr..
Freeman went to Mexico when the rela-
tions between America and the Huerta
government were greatly strained. How
ever, he went in the belief that English
and American embassies would afford
adequate protection for him.
! 1t is understood that Mr. Freeman did
| a fine job in connection with the water
power companies of Mexico, owned by
the same interests that are operating
here. He went to New York from Mex
leo, and it was stated yesterday that he
was en- route to Montreal where he will
take up some other matters for his COM
pany.
1t is understood that Mr.. Freeman is
expected in Birmingham almost any day.
Since his departure, James Mitchell, presi-
dent of his company, has been succeeded
by Frank Washburn of Nashville 1t is
understood that Mr.. Freeman was in inti-
mate touch with the change while absent
from Birmingham. That Mr.. Washburn
and Mr.. Freeman will Jointly give a
greater amount of time and attention to
the Alabama Power company than was
possible with Mr.. Mitchell in London
most of the time, is the assurance that
has been given out by officials of the
power company interests here.

WILL COOPERATE
ON LAND CONGRESS
Preliminary Plans Being
Made by Chamber of Com .
merce Committees

It has been decided by the immigration
tee of the Chamber of Commerce to work
together with the farm movement COM
mittee of the civic body to make the next
meeting of the Alabama Land congress
a success
In addition to this the bankers of Bir-
mingham have Joined in an invitation to
the bankers of Alabama to send a repre-
sentative from every bank in the state
to the meeting, while Governor O'Neal
has decided to issue proclamation CIV
ing official approval of the objects of
the congress and designating the mayor
of every Incorporated town or city in the
state a delegate together with the editor
or publisher of every paper and will urge
these and all others interested to attend
this gathering which is intendedsto ad-
vance the agricultural resources of Ala
bama.
An added feature was announced at
the meeting of the board of directors of
the civic body on Friday which emphasizes
the strongest object which the land con-
gress had in view at its inception, and
l1il was 10 dlu III oeCuIlilS CO-Op6TdllO1h
from the business men of the towns and
cities of the state with the farmers around
them in the marketing of crops. The
farmers who ship to Birmingham will be
invited to attend this congress and hear
the addresses which will be delivered at
that time, all of value to the farmers
of the state. and while here they will
hold separate conference to consider
plans for obtaining cooperation in mar
ketng of crops Many complaints are
made both on the part of the shippers
of produce and the dealers on Morris
avenue as to the manner in which coun-
try produce is prepared for market and
which no doubt cuts quite a figure in
the returns which the farmers get while
the consumer bears the brunt OF these
burdens in higher prices for what he eats.
The land congress seeks to remedy these
differences and secure cooperation in
shipping and selling, so the farmer will
get more for his products while the con-
sumner will get better goods and at lower
prices.

this crooked per cent road may be

'If Pennington and the board are right
and this is a low grade road, and If it

land that will be greatly benefited by this
new road. l am not in a position of trust
that gives me power to use the taXpay-

my farm. To accept a petition for a
new road does not necessarily mean it
will be built at once at the sacrifice of
the other more important work. There
fore the four members of the board did
not necessarily assume much RESPONSE
bility in voting to accept this petition.

Editor of The Age-Herald.
Dear Sir:-At last I have Smoked out
one of the members of the board of reve-
nue about that special road through the
wilderness on the far side of Shades
mountain. In Penningtons defense OF
McGeever in The Age-Herald of the 10th
instant, and of himself, he fails to answer
my questions.
''He tries to defend the action of the
BILE for this 31a miles special road and
states the board has the discretion to
build what roads it wants and is not an
swerable to me. This last statement of
Pennington's is. of course, wrong. He
and this board are responsible to me and
He and McGeever must remember they
are the servants of the people and that
they do not own the county just because
they have been having free hand and
their actions go without criticism be-
cause the people are not in a position TO
not take the public into their confidence.
However getting down to the same
old questions of whether the board is
fooling the public about this 31a mile
special road and whether that crooked
per cent road is more than per cent,
Is less on this new route, than the old
Columbiana road. hereby challenge Nc
