TutwiIer Hotel ms n Factor

Birmingham is about to have what it has long needed, a large and splendid, modern hotel" said member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Colonel Motion has done fine thing for the city In building the Hotel Mol ton. and the citizens who put their money in the Tutwiler one of the larg- est hotels in the country, have demon- started not only their public spirit, but their faith in the great future of this city The opening of the Tutwiler on the 15th of this month will certainly mark an era in Birmingham's progress. The railroads will now give stop-over tickets for Birmingham, and thousands of travellers will visit this city during the fall, winter and spring seasons who have been giving us the go by because of our inadequate hotel accommoda- | tions. We are about to have a large au- ditorium, and when this needed build
 ing is erected Birmingham will find Il
 easy to bring great national conven- tions here. This is already a popular convention city for state bodies, but
 when we have the big auditorium we will have many gatherings of the 500t | or 5000 class"

his grave and broke his heart with it's

his grave and broke his heart with it's ridicule.
 There is an old saying that those who laugh last laugh best, and while the man under the tombstone cannot laugh physically the world may laugh for him.
 After all it is perhaps not Lang ley who is to be pitied but the fools who derided and ridiculed him. Sneers have ever been the spoke that clogged the wheels of progress and the dead inventor is not the only one who has gone down under their weight. But thoughtless as is the world it is quick to confess it's error and the smile of doubt and sheer of derision are now turned into the plaudits of honor and songs of praise.

President Benjamin HnrrisOn's Visit

Tn an article in Sundays Age-Her- aid on the life of Judge Thomas G.. Jones, MT. John w. DuBose says that President Harrison came to Birming- ham uninvited, that Judge Jones called on him and invited him to dinner at his own expense, and that General Fucker afterward reimbursed Judge Jones' said D. B. Grace "The statement that President Harrison came to Birming- ham without an invitation is not borne out by the facts, and the implication that he was not suitably entertained does not accord with the recollection of those who lived here in 1891.
 The fact is that the people made more to do over President Harrison than they did over Roosevelt and Taft, as he was the first President to visit our city. President Harrison and party were entertained in the Caldwell hotel, at that time one of the best hotels in the south. All the school children turned out and formed along the line of march. Dr. J. H. Phillips exerted himself to make good show for the schools. Pres ident Harrison was shown the pie turesque beauties of Lakeview. then l. just opcred, and was presented by the

KENNEY'S NIGHT CONCERT
STIRRED FAMlLYS IRE
2 A. M. Recital Brings the Police and
Peace Follows Discord.

IcdCe OllOWS DlSCOTu.
Discord has given way to harmony in
the Kenney family
Although there will be no more carly
morning concerts at the Kenney home,
523 Rockland street, Germantown, the
neighbors are happy, The discord was
due to the musical ambitions of Walter
Kcnney. Other members of his family did
not agree with Walter regarding his
musical capacities. They contcnded, that
he struck what musicians call blue"
notes, The neighbors agreed with them
and the whole region seemed to feel the
same color.
Difference of opinion between Walter
Kenney, his relatives and the neiGhbors
was responsible for sending him to the
House of Correction.
Kenney's musical inspirations become
especially emphatic about 3 O'Clock In
the morning, for that's when he plays
longest and loudest. He attributes this
to the ecccntricitieS of genius. Kenney
attempted everything from ragtime TO
Chopin's Funeral March this morning
but when this latter selection filled the
air the musicians father and brother
tried To drag the performer from the
parlor organ. Kenney struck a few
notes and then few relatives
Two policemen took Kenncy to the
Germantown police station, and when
Magistrate Pennock heard of Kenney's
habits there was much sympathy in his
gaze as he looked at the other battered
members Of the kenney family But
there was no sympathy for kcnncy the

NEGROES ARE FORCED
 TO QUIT STONE COUNTY

Mountain View, Dec 22.-Some of the negroes who were warned recently to leave Stone county, hesitated, and two houses on one of the negro farms were burned recently. There has been a gener- al exodus of the blacks from that section since. The white people who live here say that the majoIi. ty of the negroes in that commu- nity were peaceful and law.abid. ing citizens. It is thought that the trouble came up over some of the white people, especially irreSponSi- ble boys, mistreating the negroes. Some time ago there was a com. plaint by the negroes that every time they met to have preaching the white boys would throw stones at the house and disturb in other ways. is thought that the next grand jury will make a thorough investigation Of the matter.

WILL FIGHT THE
 GOING LIQUOR LAW
Liquor Question Will be a PrOni- nent One in the Coming Ses-

Little Rock, Dec. 22.-The Go ing anti-saloon law passed by the last legislature, which has caused the liquor interests of Arkansas an endless amount of trouble and eX- pense during the last two years, promises to engage much of the attention of the legislators during the early part of the coming seq son.
 The issue has been practically drawn and will be fought out on the line of repeal or no repeal. The liquor interests will ask for a straightout repeal of the law, and the probibitionists vii pre- sent solid front against any change whatever in the statute.
 While 1t is expected that several state.w prohibition bills will be introduced, no one expects the coming legislature to pass a meas ure of that kind as the prohibition leaders have expressed satisfaction with the operation of the Going law. The leaders say the Going law has proved very effective from the standpoint of the prohi- bitionists. This is the principal reason why the liquor interests want the law repealed, and re- turn to the old order of things when the burden of proof was placed upon the anti-license fac lion.

 FRIENDS AT NEWARK

MT. Editor.-If you will allow me space in your paper, 1 will speak few words to my friends at Newark and Paroquet, where I lived so long. lived at Paroquet 24 years, and had a nice home there, but on account of Ill health we sold our place there and mov- ed to Newark, where we elived two years, for the benefit of our child ren in the school. But my hus- band became dissatisfied and mov- ed to Pike county, where we now live. We have a small river bot, tom farm here which produces good crops of fruit and vegetables. l have ripe tomatoes in my cellar now. The children enjoy them selves eating peanuts, sweet po- tatoes and other things we raise on the farm. We have a nice, high and dry building location here. We live half a mile from our farm, just in hearing of the farm bell. The pine forests here look very pretty when the limbs are bent with snow.
 But l am not satisfied; long to be with my friends at Newark and Paroquet. We live between two nice little towns, Delight and Antoine. We have a postoffice and a few stores near us. Schools are not very good here through the country. l will close wishing you all a merry Xmas and a happy New Year. MRs. w. H. JONES
