Dr. PettifOrd's Death

In the death of Dr. w. R. Pettiford the negro leader and banker, Bir- mingham sustains loss that will be felt throughout northern Alabama.
 There are thousands of good negroes in this district-negroes who by their industry contribute to the wealth of the state, but Pettiford was pre-emi- nent among his people. He was well endowed mentally, while morally he was high above reproach.
 A minister of the gospel Dr. Petit ford continued to preach after he en- tered the banking business, and in the dual capacity of religious leader and president of a financial institution his influence as negro upbuilder was far-reaching. He was quiet and un- spoiled by his success in the business world and was cordially esteemed by his white acquaintances.
 Would that Birmingham had hun dred Pettifords.

Copenhagen Correspondence in New York
 World.
 Germany is making vigorous efforts in this country to gain favor toward her side of the war. One of her methods is by use of the cinematograph.
 Representatives of the German govern ment have arrived here with a series of film pictures showing the Germany army on its best side. The pictures are said to have been taken under the Kaiser's per sonal supervision.
 They show the magnificence of the Ger man marching and equipment. The Kaiser himself is shown in a number of closeup" views. One picture labeled, ''The Kaiser under fire," shows him look ing through field glasses, presumably at a distant battle. Another shows his "war quarters at the front of a series of as- bestos "huts," very comfortably fur nished.
 The films are to be supplied to moving picture theatres in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and other neutral countries at a very low price.
 There was also today free distribution Of pamphlets in this city. written in ex- cellent Danish. telling or the splendid financial condition of Germany and de- claring she was forced into the war. The pamphlets deny reports of British, French and Russian victories

A Week From Today

Birmingham's State Fair opens a week from today, and it will be the greatest fair ever held in this section of the country. The fair last year was a marked success. In fact all the Bir- mingham fairs held within the last four or five years have been up to a high level of excellence; but the man. agement this year has made unusual efforts to vary the attractions; and as for the agricultural exhibits, the farmers have vied with each other in their endeavors to illustrate the splen- did resources of Alabama.
 The cattle show will be revelation to the people of this community. Many of the finest cattle in the United States will be displayed here, and as for the Alabama raised cattle" the exhibit, in the words of the Fair asso- ciation's announcement, will be "posi- lively the biggest and best cattle show in the south"
 1t is stated that more counties will have exhibits at the fair next week than was ever known before. Space in the agricultural hall is already at a great premium.
 The poultry exhibits will be remark ably attractive. It is estimated that 5000 fowls valued at $15O,0OO will be displayed.
 During the years past the women's department has been most interest ing feature of the fair, and the women are going to great lengths this year to exceed their display as compared with any previous year. All sorts of handiwork, and in fact, pretty much everything that woman makes will be on exhibition.
 While there has been a horse racing programme at all the fairs the turf feature has. not ranked very high since lpool selling was prohibited. This year however, there will be lively sport. Ii will be clean sport, of course, but horses greatly esteemed on the grand circuit will be on the Birmingham pro. gramme and nearly $12,000 in cash will be given away in prizes.
 The free acts will crowd upon eact other, and with anything like good weather record-breaking crowds will attend the fair. Last year 247,O0C people passed through the gates. The management estimates that the record this year will be raised to 260,000. Il

No Advantage in Big Battle

The gigantic struggle on the Franco German frontier continues to rage without material advantage to either side.
 In the opinion of military experts the battle will be decided by the ar tillery, and the French, recognizing this, are bringing up heavier guns with which to dislodge the Germans. Until this has been accomplished the infantry will hardly be loosed in full strength.
 Historic buildings have suffered heavily during the war and the latest to be devastated is the cathedral at Rheims, which is reported by both German and allied bulletins to be greatly damaged. The Germans are not exerting themselves to make the war any the less blutal-especially as they are fighting on alien soil. The first few paragraphs of a dis patch from Berlin received from Lon don and passing through the hands of the censor and one received at the Sayville, L. l., wireless station was identical. This is significant, indicat- ing that the censorship is relaxing.
 The situation in Galicia is growing darker for Austria and one of her armies is reported as being entirely surrounded. Despite this, reports from Vienna speak of glorious victories" :" It would be amusing were it not so tragic. In East Prussia the Russians claim to have checked the German of- fensive movement.
 AS whole the situation appears to be very encouraging for the allies and if the French can get their heavier guns placed quickly enough and to sufficient advantage there will be nothing for the Germans to do but fall back

An Officials High Record

The certified report which the state examiner of Public accounts, w. k. Foster. has made on the office of the treasurer of Jefferson county, Cleon P. Rogers, is most flattering.
 According to the report which was published in yesterdays Age-Herald the receipts of the county treasurer's office from January 20, 1913, to July s1, 1914, were $1 ,939, ,225.Os and the disbursements were $1 ,429, ,789.10. In She words of the report, "the treasurer has correctly charged himself with all moneys coming into his hands" and "holds vouchers for each and every item disbursed by him." After giving in detail the items of receipts and dis bursements, the examiner concludes as follows: "The books and accounts of MT. Rogers are models of accuracy and he is an officer of unusual caution and ability"
 The bond which the treasurer of Jefferson county is required to give is $4O0,000. This is the largest bond given by any official in the state of Alabama, the next being that of the state treasurer, which is $250,000. The office is of great importance. It is, in fact, the clearing house, so to speak, of all the county's financial business.
 Those who know MT. Rogers or who have intimate business relations with his office would naturally expect of him the very highest efficiency. It is gratifying to his friends, however, and should be source of pride to the public in general to read the official words of commendation of so expert and painstaking an auditor as Mr. Foster, the examiner of public ac- counts.
