A VICTIM OF THE DOG TAX
City Commissioner James Weatherly Helps An Old Negro
 Nanny Out of Trying Difficulty
By CHARLES II. MANDY

It has been frequently said that the dog is mans most faithful friend, and that once his attachment is formed for lis master or mistress it never changes. Too often do We witness change in the at utude of supposed friends toward man who has fallen from the heights and lights of prosperity to the depths and darkness of diversity. These human friends de- sert him at the very time he needs them most. Can this be said of a mans dog? No matter what the changed conditions may be, the dog remains faithful and shows the same affection for his master in rags, so to speak, as he did while clothed in costly raiment. It matters not to him whether his master be prince CT pauper, his attachment remains the same.
 It should not be forgotten, however, that many times the attachment is re- turned, and many a man who would not fight for himself has been known to fight for his dog, even to the extent of shedding human blood as the records of the courts will show. That many of the citizens of Birmingham are fond of their dogs Was evidenced by the rush to secure licenses and the accompanying tags which. fol- lowed the recent edict of the city fathers to the effect that all dogs must be tagged by certain date. The penalty for a failure to contribute sl to the city .reas- ury is that all untagged canines will be taken up by the dog catcher-beg pardon. we mean dog superintendent, as that in- dividual is officially known-and con verted into that useful commodity used for cleansing purposes only.
 As result of the edict and the further fact that the penalty would undoubtedly be carried out, many people of all creeds and colors assembled at the city hall and in return for the simoleon deposited with MT. Boggan received the little tin disc that secured immunity for "Queenie' or
 Spot or Rover" for the time being. A large per cent were negroes, many of them insufficiently clad, yet they willingly gave up their last kopeck in order to re- tain possession of the waller dawg' that every negro is supposed to own.

Birmingham Hebrew Court of Arbitration Proposes to Settle Differences With
 out Resourt to the Courts

The Birmingham Hebrew Court of Arbitration. the third of it's kind in America, was organized in this city yesterday. The other two branches are located, one in Boston and one in Bal timore. The purpose of the organiza- tion is to take up differences that oc- cur from time to time among the He- brews of a community and settle them without the necessity of appealing to the courts and avoid the subsequent expense.
 A representative of every Hebrew relief, fraternal and congregational or ganiaation in the city was present.
 It was announced yesterday after the meeting that the organization is head ed by J. Cartus as president, with NJ. Hersch, as secretary. There will pc only two officers. The court will be composed of five judges, three of whom will be regular judges and two super numerary, to take the place of any one of the judges temporarily absent It is planned to disbar from the position of judge any lawyer as the arbitration will ae based not so much upon legal technicalities as upon the matter of merit and justice without the becloud- ing effects of strict legal interpreta- tions. The announcement was made that the work of the board would, for the purpose of arbitration with the old Hebrew and Mosaic laws as the guidin z tenants of arriving at decsious
 One of the rules of the court will be that both parties to difference shall subscribe to the holdings of the court and that both shall be in honor bound to abide by any decision that is made by that court. This measure of admin ...- l.. the courts of this county of much liti gation.
 In the handling of differences it is stated that no criminal cases of any kind will be taken up.
 The application of the old laws which are not recognized in the admnistra- tion of local justice will be the prin- cipal differ ence between the justice of this board of arbitration and the reg ular courts.

Sacrament of Hope

The eucharist is also the sacrament of hope In it we find our strength, our con solation when all the world is dark and drear; when, as happens to all betimes, lfe's burdens press heavily, when our spiritual energies are benumbed, when, weary and disheartened, the path onward and upward seems rugged and hard. Then, if we remember the words of the Savior, T will not leave yo uorphans 'Lo, I am with you all days, even to the end of time,' will we not be encouraged and strengthened? God with us, who can hurt us. We are safe in His protect ing care.
 Sometime ago a ship was caught in a furious storm at sea. The waves rolled mountain high, the vessel rocked and reeled. The passengers pale and terrified. huddled together. expecting destruction each moment. One boy was calm and collected and unafraid, ans they asked him in wonder if he felt no fear. No he said calmly. my father is at the rudder So 1t Is with us. Our Father is with us on our earthly voyage, and though waves roll high and dangers lower. still the Sacred Host. the sacramental presence. will be our ship. our strength. our cer- tain hope and stay.

INSPECTION TO BE
 MADE BY SOUTHERN
Every Rail to Be Inspected Regularly by Track Supervisors to Pre-
 vent Rail Failures

Every rail on the Southern railway extending over 1000 miles Is to be in spected regularly in order to correct any possible breaks or defects, accord ing to an announcement made yester day from the executive offices
 The plan which has been evolved is explained in this announcement:
 "The system of inspection which has. been adopted is believed the most rigid and effective possible The work is under the direction of the district en- gineers and division roadmasters and is done by the track supervisors and section foremen who closely scrutinize each and every rail while on their hands and knees and with eyes close enough to the rail to detect the slight est discoverable tendency toward weak ness Or failure and wherever such are found the rail is immediately removed. Detailed reports are made on each rail left in the track so that comparison can be made at the next years fnspec- tion.
 ''The management of the Southern railway feels that this rigid inspection of every rail over which it's traffic moves embodies every possible step to- ward the prevention of rail failures. a feature Of railway operation to which the officials of leading American rail ways have been giving the closest study during the past few years. thur has fine nucleus in his North Bir- minghsm support Hugo l.. Black is mak- ing a fine fight and he has many warm supporters who are actively aiding him in his struggle For circuit solicitor there are two candi- dates. They have met before. Once John Mcqueen was solicitor. Joseph R. Tate defeated him. The two are opposing candidates this year. Each is apparently confident of winning.
 There seems to be general satisfaction that neither Judge Henry A. Sharpe nor Judge John c. Pugh has opposition.

Sixth district against W. B. Bankhead whether intended or not. and is great injustice to him. The reference to u truce between L. B. Musgroye and my self on account of a nephew of mine and MT. Musgrove's being a candidate for sheriff is ridiculous to the people of Walker county. They know my po- sition in the Underwood and Hobson race. While I am for Buck Long for sheriff. I have said all the time that if he could not win with democrats that he ought not to win. I have not taken as much interest in Buck Longs race as | have in Mir. Underwood's and all my friends here understand that fact My anxiety for Underwood's suc- cess would not permit me to enter into any truce that would lose him a single vote.

make use of its extension department

OF instruction in farming and live

Of the correspondence with individu-

even an approximate estimate of the
cost of the extension work, as it is
so closely connected with that of
adjacent regions.
8. The board proposes, in view of
the Importance of this work to tax
payers of the region, the develop
ment and settlem ent of the state,
and the states own interests in
school and granted lands in this re-
gion, to ask the next legislature for
a special appropriation for expert
mental work on the volcanic ash
soils of the state in the dry land
belt.
10. The board invites the CO.
operation of your committee and the
Chamber of Commerce in the attain
ment of these ends, and it further
more invites suggestions from all
sources as to ways and means for the
betterment of the agricultural condi-
lions of the dry farming belt of the
state.
