TOPASS0N MARKET
 ORDINANCE TODAY Ward Will Propose Com prOmise-Weatherly Fa-
 vorable; Lane Opposed

Total defeat. or compromise which the market league leaders themselves state will make the ordinance inef- fective, will probably be the fate of the market ordinance at the city com mission meeting this afternoon.
 As far as could be learned yesterday all three commissioners are in n slight ly different position in regard to the ordinance Judge Lane is uneauivocal- ly opposed to it; Commissioner Weath- erly Is in favor of 1t. and President Wards war,ts compromise.
 The compromise which President Ward will propose this afternoon will be to mako the ma rket hours from to s:s0 every morning and during those hours only prohibit peddlers from selling at random within four blocks of des gnated market place.
 Outside of those four blocks of the market place peddlers and truck grow CTS will be at liberty to sell their stuff at any hour of tho day, irrespective of the ordinance. according to this compromise. In other words. the market ordinance would be effective only in the five designated market places and for four blocks of the territory sur rounding each mnrke. place. Inside oi these four-block areas every house wife would be forced to go to the mar ket to get her provisions.
 If MT. Wards compromise proposi- ton Is voted down. 1t is probable he will then vote with Judge Lane to de- feat the entire ordinance It Is ex- pected pal .isans of both sides to the market ordinance controversy will bs present at ti.e commission meeting this afternoon.
 Nothing of importance outside of this ordinance is so far scheduled for the meeting today.

 COMING ELECTION
FOwlkes Says South Ala bama Will Go for Under
 wood by Big Majority

! Oliver FowllSes of Mobile one of the best known men of south Alabama, was in Birmingham yesterday en route home from New York where he has been spend ing several weeks. He stopped over here yesterday and was q luncheon guest at the press club yesterday of Walter Fowlkes. Frank Fowlkes and L. Sever.
 MT. Fowlkes said that south Alabama would poll big majority for Oscar w. Underwood for senator.
 Tn New York there is | great deal of interest felt in the race of MT. Under wood" said MT. Fowlkes. The leading men of that city look upon MT. Under wood as a statesman of unrivalled ability in this country, and they believe, as well as great many well informed people in other parts of the United States, that if Alabama turns down Mir. Underwood, the best man that has ever come from the south will have been defeated. I am con vinced that MT. Underwood will go in with such a majority that the people of this whole country will see that Ala bama may be depended upon to perform her duty.
 Business, was informed in New York, looks better. With the loca ton of the re- gional banks next week and the attend ant details of that work over, 1t is antici- pated that the country will settle down to a period of unusual business activity. There is said to be some hestancy about opening up any large undertakings. How ever. 1t is believed that such hesitation will have been dissipated during the next few weeks principally by reason of the final adjustment of the region bank mat ter.
 Mobile is In fine shape. Our progress Is very noticeable and everything Dp- pears to be going forward in a healthy stride. I am of the opinion that Mobile will show wonderful gains during the next few years
 There is no need to comment upon the progress here for it is evident on every hand. The work has been done is of the lasting kind, and it is a matter of such magnitude that l am proud of Birming- ham. Tn fact the whole people of Mobile are interested in the progress of this city and may be counted upon always to lend whatever consistent aid we can employ towards the furtherance of Birmingham's s interests

 Somebody at the zoo a night or two ago completely ruined the magnificent tail of the old peacock who has in all pomp officially presided over the com. mon council of the zoo for the past few months.
 Yesterday the poor old bird was so mortified at the absence of his enormous fan tail feathers, that he acted like a person caught on the streets without proper clothing. He has retired to the uttermost corner of his pen and there

 lowing was furnished The Age-Herald yesterday
 The following resolution was unani- mously adopted by the Birmingham breaches meeting at the First Metho- dist church at It's regular weekly meet ing Monday morning: .'Whereas, the Underwood county campaign manager, MT.

I am willing to accept the chal- lenge of the preachers who passed the resolution. We can get together and, if they insist, take a poll of all the churches.
