Isn't it good OH fellow man.

10 be doing the best that brave man can
With an eager heart and past that IS clean?

To have work to do that is worth your while:
To be free from fear and to have the right
To begin your task with hopeful smilef

And the twilight sounds the dead days kne
Isn't it good to think-to know;
That you've done good work and done it welli

Chief Martin Eagan threw another ..fit'' yesterday afternoon when a spry young clerk from Comptroller Abbott's office requested him to o. K. bill of s45O for a laprobe purchased by the Ensley police precinct for use. by the Ensley patrol driver during current cool nights.
 What d'y mean-iaprobe? said Chief EagaH arranging his glasses to take a look at the bill for s45o.
 The clerk smiled and answered thai the patrol driver at Ensley had purchased laprobe and had it charged to the City treasury.
 "The nights were cold and the patrol driver had cold feet bantsced the clerk
 However, Chief Eagan was not in a bantering mood and after signing the bill he said:
 What do you think of that? The Ems. iev patrol driver has laprobe. Here ir the city we don't have any and sh< back room Is full of valuable laprobca recovered by the detectives and which are still unclaimed. Somebody will have a whole lot to explain about this"

much. We had no plan to so to Cuba after business or to invade any foreign fields. However, my brother, w. T. Sim mons. who is vice president of this conn pany. while there on pleasure trip looked around and in short time sold 800 cases of our Eagle brand. We prepaid the freight charge on this shipment. so there would be absolutely no hitch in getting through. We figure the shipment will reach it's destination within 10 days.
 If this experiment proves successful, as it should, we will inaugurate campaign for large business in that atysection. There seems at this time no reason for our not entering there very profitably as this first order has shown me very clearly that it can be done. We are very much pleased with this move and hope to ac- complish a great deal by it.
 MT. Simmons said yesterday that Cuba and other island countries to the south of America would open up vast opportuni- ties for this section. He seemed to think that the Panama canal would do more than any one thing to broaden the field for southern products. He said people in Cuba and on the coast were looking for ward to the resumption of business activi- ties from the export viewpoint"

 Next Sixty Days

The double track construction on the Alabama Great Southern railroad between this city and Mobile Junction will be completed in the next 60 days, so far as the roadway is concerned. It was stated yesterday that 40 cars of rails had been placed along the route yesterday and the day before and these will be placed as soon as possible.
 The statement was made that the en- tire work would be completed within 90 days if the forces had good weather. The work south of York and to Meridian Is said to be about S5 per cent completed and will be ready when this end of the work is through. The construction has been carried on at rapid rate of late. It was stated that the work of making the roadway was perhaps the lightest ever undertaken in the south.
 The construction by. the Alabama Great Southern railroad will greatly facilitate operations between this city and Merid- ian and will be of great economic value to the line. It is believed that follow ing the completion of this work the Alabama Great Southern will start double tracking between Mobile Junction and Tuscaloosa.

 and Iron Co.

Evidence was concluded yesterday afternoon in the hearing of the pro- posed raise of the tax assessments of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron com- pany and the Pratt Consolidated Coal company, which was held before the state tax commission in the rooms of the board of revenue The state tax commission proposes to raise the assess ments of the Sloss company about $700,- 900 and the Pratt Consolidated company $452,054 and the raise was resisted by the two companies.
 Yesterday was the day set for the hearing of the testimony and Judge A. A. Evans and Henry P. White, associate members of the tax commission, ap- peared before the board of revenue and announced they were ready to begin the investigation. Previous to the hearing Hugh McGeever, acting president of the board of revenue, asked as to the duties of the board in reference to the hearing. He was informed that the board sat merely in an advisory capacity with the state board to give information and confer with them about local condi- tions.
 MT. McGeever then stated that he was of the opinion that the present was an inopportune time to raise taxes and that so far as he was concerned he would advise if 1t was inshis province against any raise of taxes at this time.
 Seated with the two members of the tax commission were Hugh McGeever, w. J. Cameron, Rufus Bivins and Law renee Pennington. and while taking no part fin the proceedings, other than their presence. were much interested in the testimony. Among the attorneys rep resenting the companies were Hugh Morrow, L. c. Leadbetter, w. B. Bank head, Judge R. B. Watts and others. Many witnesses were placed on the stand who testified as to the value of lands and commodities. such. as coal, coke and estimated values of the min- erals unmined.
 All the testimony was taken down by a stenographer and it will Toe re- viewed by the tax commission at a later date, at which time it will render its decision.
