 AT THE STATE FAIR
Ladies Greatly Pleased at Success of Work for Anti-Tubercul0sis
 SanitOrium

Somebody this morning owns an auto mobile and doesn't know itl
 Number 2S56 won the big five-passenger Paige-Detroit automobile raffled o: at the fair during the last two weeks in behalf of the Anti-Tuberculosis associa- tion. This announcement was made last night by Mrs. Eugene Brown, who, with other well known Birmingham women, for the past two weeks has been selling tick cts on the car at the State Fair grounds
 It was stated last night that the ladies had realized something like 5000 above their expenses in the transaction. which will be sufficient, they state, for tho in- stallation of heating plant at the anti their undertaking. The ladies feel highly elated over their success and are receiving many congratulations.
 In the presence of B. B. Burton of the fair association and President R. A. Brown, d;stinterested man, placed the tickets in a wicker basket in the offices of the fair association officials at the fair grounds last night at o'clock and Miss Salena Holt. a young lady standing near by was asked to draw out three tickets dlleT tne DdSAtl iittu Dten lnoIOuHhiJ shaken up. The first ticket drawn was 2S56, as stated. and will win the auto mobile if presented within the next 30 days The second ticket was 2043, which will win if presented in 10 days after tie first 30 days for the first number has elapsed. If neither of these tickets Is pre- scented within the required time, the third ticket drawn was 1227 and 1t will then be the winning number.

 Mrs. Eugene l.. Brown made the follow Ing statement last night:
 'I want to express my appreciation and thanks to the generous people who have made the automobile raffle for the benefit of the Anti-Tuberculoss associa- tion a success.
 Tn undertaking this, my first public work for charity, l was fearful of the result, and without the generous help of the good women who acted as chairmen on different days and their faithful help CTS, and the invaluable aid of my silent partners Mrs. Robert Thach and Mrs. Frank B. Fowlkes. the task would have been too heavy. Now that it is all over, and we have the money to make the poor sufferers on Red Mountain more comfort able, I feel that all of us, who worked and gave, should be very happy over the result
 My hope Is that this will be the means or making the people realize the great need for this association in this county and inspire them with willingness to continue their efforts for it's success"

TAXATION WILL BE
 THE "BIG" SUBJECT.
faxationi


 This will be the big business. the big problem over which the legislature will wrestle
 The idea obtains throughout the state that the present system of taxation is ob- solete. and in that it has failed to equal ize the burden iniquitous.
 The sentiment of the people is illus trated in the fact that already taxation leagues are springing up, spontaneously as it were all over Alabama. These leagues when their organization is com pleted, will represent in their member ship a great majority of the citizens of the state. Their representatives will meet in the future and discuss taxation-a momentous problem In that it affects every individual-and the chances are that a new system will be adopted and presented ill the form of a bill before the legislature when it convenes in Janu- ary. Backed by militant statewide sentiment, the prediction is that it will fare well at the hands of the members.
 Retrenchment in the expenditure of the finances of the state will be achieved. For it ic a safe conclusion that the mem bers will abolish all offices and depart mnnts held to be unnecessary, and others stil. will be combined. Superfiuous clerks will be thrown out on the world. Appro- priations will be limited, and the chance

FEE SYSTEM KILLED;
 THE CONVICT QUESTION

There is every reason to believe that the legislature in its next regular session will reform the judiciary. call a consti- tutional convention, abolish the fee sys- tenn in every county of the state, adopt a new primary law and formally begin the elimination of the convict lease system. In reforming the judiciary. many hitches will occur because there will be great an- tagcnlsm developed when it comes to the abolishment of the offices of judges. so- licitors and justices. There will be ap- parcntly little opposition to the call for . constitutional convention. The fee sys- tenn will be destroyed beyond peradcven- ture There is no doubt but that meas ure providing for the gradual elimination of the convict system will be enacted into law. No concerted effort will be made to put an end to the system abruptly, for that course would bankrupt the state. It is probable, however, that after 1915 no felon will be again committed to coal mines in Alabama, although those already committed and to be committed next year will remain in servitude until the ex- piration of their terms There is nothing more certain than that a new primary law will be adopted.
 The new legislature. judging from ex- pressions of it's members. will not be rad ical. save only in the matter of taxation and retrenchment. It will be constructive and conservative and progressive. The day of the fanatically axe wielder has seen Its setting sun.

Library and the Negroes

AL present the negroes of Birming- ham are without library advantages. They are not allowed to use the public library nor any of it's branches and they have no public collection of books of their own, worthy of the name library.
 That this Is true of part of the population numbering more than 50,- 900 people is a fact much deplored by the Bifmngha library board The need for some sort of library service has been brought to our attention over and over by requests from negroes for library books, which requests We're of course refused.
 During the last few months a com mittee from the library board has been working on the problem of establish- ing negro branch. Tentative plans have been made for this work which, however, cannot be carried our until an appropriation is made by the board of city commissioners.
 The first step toward the establish ment of picture collection was taken on June 10, when the library board au- thorized the purchase of some of the Teubnr Autographs. Announces, ment has been made that they may be borrowed two or three at time for use in school rooms settlement houses, and elsewhere, and few requests for them have been received. "In the last month of the fiscal year an order was placed for about 150 Elson prints. The order includes pictures of historical buildings. Greek sculpture, Egyptian architecture. portraits of ing.

 What, in your opinion, will be the most important business confronting the legislature in its next regular ses- sion?"
 Had this question been propounded to the men who were to serve in the legislature of 1907, the answer would have been:
 Railroad rate legislation and pro- hibition."
 Had the question been propoundel to the men who were to serve in the legislature of 1911, the answer would have been:
 "Local option."
 There has been change.
 The members who will sit in the next session of the legislature doj not consider either of the above issues the most important.
 They are practically unanimous in replying
 Taxation, retrenchment."
 Other subjects suggested are: Edu- cation, good roads, judicial reform, convict bureau, inheritance taxation, public health, fee system, new consti- tuition, new primary law, working mans compensation and change in
 
 the law dealing with municipalities. RATE REGULATION DEAD;
 PROHIBITION IS DYING
 It has always been contended that the great majority of the members of the next legislature will be prohibitionists. And yet when The Age Herald asks the members-all of them--to state that thing above all others which will be of im- portance, only three mentioned prohi- lition This trio was composed of A. R. Briadley of Etowah, F. L. Riley of Cone cuh and c. l.. McGough of Russell.
 MT. Riley went even further than the other members of the trio, for in addi- tion to prohibition, he mentioned railroad rate regulation.
 Railroad rate legislation Is a dead let ter, Giu the cndnteS are tidt Oll lidl Sup- ject the legislature will waste no time. Prohibition as political issue is fast dying. It will receive attention at the hands of the next legislature, but it is certain that it will never again be the sine cue non of Alabama politics, and chances are that In it's efforts to breast the tide in January it will fail.
 George A Sorrell of Dadeville, life long plohibitionist. but one who thinks for himself, candidly admits in his reply to The Age-Herald that although whisky legislation is of great importance, there arc other subjects equally as important. John B. Ward of Abbeville, in his letter to The Age-Herald, stresses the fact that he is a prohibtionist. but adds that at the present time he thinks it would be unwise further to attempt liquor lesisla- ton. II. H. Holmes of Baldwin county, who will serve in the senate, is pro- hibtionist. but so anxious is he that prohibition be eliminated as vehicle on which candidates might again desire to ride into office, that he would prevent a statewide election unless 55 per cent of the total electorate of the state should formally petition probate judges that such an election be held.
