Relies of hygone age have neVel failing interest for all classes of people An old book. or document can be display ed anywhere in the United States and its owner will be assured of an interested audience that will ask nnumerable ques- tions and exclaim with delight over its age.
 This story of the organization of the first civic body in Birmingham some 4p years ago Is told in an old ledger. in WHICH was recorded the minutes of the organi- zation meeting The old minute book IS worn in the covers and considerably dog cared" but it has been eagerly scanned by many members of the Chamber of Commerce, in whose possession it now is.
 The old minute book was presented to the Chamber of Commerce some two months ago by J. D. Moore, who was the first secretary of the first Board of Trade organized in this city. the old Board of Trade was supplanted by the Commercial club. which in turn gave way to the pres ent Chamber of Commerce the activities of which have been largely instrumental in placing Birmingham in it's place at the top of the southern cities

Questions for Consideration
JAMES A. ALLEN. 'P. H. EARLE.
 

Questions for Consideration The Board of Trade was yet in the formative stage and many question came
 up for consideration which precipitated much lively discussion. At the present time, every civic organization in existence | in the city has for it's motto: Boost | Birmingham" and boosting Birmingham | means the sending out of circulars, ad- vertisements. personal letters. post cards securing conventions. in fact, everything I that will aid in placing the city before | the eyes of the nation.
 At it's June meeting in 1883 the first l Board of Trade in Birmingham had brought to it's attention by President Van Hoose the matter of whether the Board of Trade wished to issue and circulate a | pamphlet giving. correct information re- ative to our growing and prosperous city" When the chair opened the matter l for discussion P. Fl. Earle secured the
 privilege of the floor and suggested that l it would be wise for the Board to streng- 1 then it's own organization before taking
 any permanent steps towards advertising l the city. In the discussion which follow ed it developed that the idea was favor- ably received but there seemed to be | doubt about the feasibility of the project 1 The question was ia bled temporarily 1 The matter of freight rates in 1883 was
 of much moment to the merchants as it is now. At it's August meeting President 1 VanHoose told the Board of Trade some | thing of the value to Birmingham of 1 making this city pro-rating point. The
 matter was discussed and' finally com
 mittee was appointed to see the freight | agents of the several ralroads running l into Birmingham and secure the lowest possible freight rates to Birmingham, or | at least rates equitable with those enjoy | ed by other cities. This committee was 1 made up of A. o. Lane, B. F. Roden and
 J. A. NanHoose.
 | At the August meeting P. H. Earle. 1 chairman of the committee on the matter | of publishing a pamphlet properly repre- senting Birmingham said he had nothing to report. Mr. VanHoose. the same | committee, said that he had ascertained | that the Elyton Land company would contribute $250 towards paying for such | a pamphlet

The southbound will arrive at 12:4O

Mr.. Nj. r. Williams, the Atlantic
Coast Line passenger agent, has pre-
sented the editor of the Star with an
unusual geological specimen, a large,
smooth rock, about the size of the
average Marion county Irish potato,
and would be round if it wasn't like
the earth-fattened at the poles
only the earth is fattened slightly
while the. rock is f1attened muchly. 1t
is rock of varied hues, a dull red
predominating. There is reason to be-
lieve it is the same rock David used to
STAY Goliath with, kept for many
years with religious veneration by
the Jews, and brought to this country
by one of the ten lost tribes of Israel,
who, as everybody knows, were the
ancestors of the American Indians.
The red tint in it was made by the
blood of Goliath. Mr.. Williams priced
it highly, but the other night a man
came into the ticket Office and said
that the Seaboard Limited could make
better time than the Pinellas Special
Mr.. Williams grabbed for the rock
and only the fact that it was six in
ches further off than he thought it
was saved the rash persons life. He
is afraid it might be in reach the next
time, so he gave it to the Star man,
who will present it to Tulula Lodge
1. o. o. F., to be used in degree work.
Anybody who wants to see this splen-
did specimen of archaeology should
join the lodge.

It is reported by passengers arriv-

steamers that the German submarines
sunk another British battleship in
the North Sea a few days ago. Am
orleans can praise Germans for the
skill and daring with which thew
handle their submarines, and for the
devoted bravery with which their
sailors went down with their ships off
the Falklands, but mighty few of US
have anything but condemnation for
the bombardment of British coast
towns and the wholesale killing of
women, children and unarmed men,
We all have an uncomfortable feeling
that they might do our coast towns
the same way in case of war. II

Hartlepool and Scarborough last week

There is q queer thing about New
York justice, in which it is probably
similar to the justice in other states.
Harry Thaw, number of years ago,
killed a libertine for reason that has
always held good among men. The
whole power of the state was first ex-
erted tolhang Thaw-when it failed to
do that, it was exerted and has been
exerted ever since to hold him pris
oner. Since the Thaw trial, private
greed and political corruption have
caused in New York state two terrible
fires, in which scores of working
girls were burned to death, but no
body has been indicted, let alone tried
for either. A bunch of gunner muir
dered a gambler, and prominent
lawyer has won national reputation
a high state office and chance for the
presidency by sending the gunner to
the chair A few months ago, q
young man in the same state eloped
with a girl. When he went to his
father-in-l law, in hopes of a reconcilia-
lion, ne was shot dead-one of the
