FERTILIZER CO. ID
 BUY BALE FROM
 EACH CUSTOMER
Announcement Made by J. w. D0nnelly-Gulf Refin- ing Company to Aid
 Movement

The Jefferson Fertilizer company will aid the buy -a-bale-of-cotton movement to the extent of buying bale at 10 cents a pound from each of its customers in Ala bama. Georgia and Mississippi This an nouncement was made last night by J. w. Donnelly.
 MT. Donnelly,s statement follows:
 "The Jefferson Fertilizer company of Birmingham has decided to boost the 'buy-a-bale' movement by buying from every one of it's customers in the states of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi one bale of cotton at 10 cents per pound. and will hold it for higher prices. If this plan could be widely put in practice it would mean the purchase of thousands upon thousands of bales of cotton at 10 cents, which will pass them into strong hands. The value of the buy bale movement would thus be wonderfully augmented
 Now, if every merchant throughout the south will write his wholesale grocer. shoe manufacturer, dry goods merchant, fer tilizer canufacturer, grain dealer, drug house, hardware dealer etc, north, south. east and west, asking him to buy one bale of cotton from him at 10 cents per pound and hold same for higher prices, there will be few refusals, and as a consequence of this enlarging of the scope of the buy a-bale movement, it is believed that the mill buyers will soon realize that they had better come in for their needs, and that under this impetus the market will continue to stiffen as it has done ever since this movement started.
 ''Wide publicity given this matter ty the press of Birmingham with the re- quest that their exchanges take it up in their papers will, we believe, get il started all over the south in the quickest possible manner
 MT. Donnelly is president of the local

ALABAMA RAILS LIKED IN JAPAN Railway Official of That Country Here to Place
 Second Order

K. Watanabe, inspector of the im- per'al railways of Japan, and Tarajl keshll1i. representing Mitsu X Co.,, of New York. the widely known export CTS and importers, were here yesterday as guests of Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company officials
 They were here last year for the pur- pose of placing a large order for Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany rails and are more or less fa- miliar with the operations of the com pany in this district. It Is stated that Mir Watanabe will, when he returns to New York, place another considerable order for rails for the e'annual require ments of the Japanese system.
 He is said to have been exceedingly we'll pleased with the products of the Ensiey plants which were sent to Ja- pan last year through Mitsu X Co. The placing of the second order for rails by the imperial Japanese rall- way is a substantial verification of the opinion expressed here three years ago by Baron Mitsu, head of the firm of Mitsu & Co. that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and this district would be able upon the completion of the Panama canal to trade extensively with Japan It is no uncommon thing for shipments to leave here now destined for Japan
 The visitors yesterday to this city were taken in charge by Frank A. Burr general sales manager for the Tennes zee Coal. Iron and Railroad company They went to Ensley. where the plants of the company were looked over and visited other points of interest about the city. They will leave for New Or leans this morning.
 The visitors did not place any orders here yesterday. This will be done when they return to New York. Mr. Wat anabe and Mir. Reshiki called upon George Gordon Crawford, president of the company. and Frank H. Crockard. vice president, yesterday morning i'm nfediately after reaching the city,

The roof of the new salt water fire tank rears its head above the surround ing banks and reminds ns that Douglas will soon add another important ad iunct to her system of fire protection, This tank is immediately above the school house, on the hill, at an eleva- ton of something over 200 feet above tide water. Its foundation rests on the solid rock and the tank is constructed of the best grade Oregon Gr lt i, fifty feet in diameter and will hold approxj- mately lO7OOO gallons of water The rock work was done by Charlie John son and is a splendid job. As much may be said of the tank construction wLich is in the hands of Tom Ryan. IL is expected that the tank will be ready for the water by this evening. Tie completion of this tank will give Douglas an almost perfect system of fire protection, and this, it may be said, is without a doubt the most valu- able work ever done by the city. Of what use are all other Improvements if the fire may at any time sweep them away? Connecting the new tank, or reservoir, with the town is line of 8.iuch, extra heavy, wooden pipe. This is buried beyond all danger of frost for even salt water may freeze-and the flow of water will be controlled by a large gate or valve at the corner of c aud Fourth streets. Some skcptical ones have questioned the ability of the city fire pump to force the water into the tank because of its height But the fact of the business is that Mayer O'Conuor took no chances in this matter, and before work was begun on the job he ran line of hose up the hill aud tried it out, forcing a stream of water higher than the location of the tank.
