considerable reduction hs offered on the season tickets. Birmingham is al- ways so full of everything, said woman who seemed weary of doing This is an evidence of her growth and osperity-whenever the time comes when a city full of live people stops right still. then you may know It IS physically and spiritually dead.
 Looking back over the little town that started on a small portion of what is Bir- mingham today. as far back as the early seventies, we can remember when only handful of people were stirring and striv-
 ing; if they had faltered there would have been no Birmingham today. In 1873, when cholera broke out, and the i'll and dying were leaving the ranks. others flying to different sections for safety. the little
 handful kept on working, and this spirit was given to succeeding citizens, until no other spirit lives in Birmingham. The de-
 sire to bring to her the best in every ac- tion of life is the power that has brought out of the fields works of Jefferson county, the Greater Birmingham that has kept the worlds eye directed to Alabama, the souths soil of possibilities. These suc- cesses have opened her avenues of indus try of progress, and wealth and now the people are demanding broader thought
 public education, and are working out the possibilities. An annual chautauqua is a stimulant. a needed one .an advantage to any city and all of Birmingham is ready for it. Whatever the people demand will follow, and the chautauqua is an annual
 event, beginning this year May 20.

LEGISLATURE MAKES PATH
WAY OF OFFICE SEEKERS
ROCKY

Reading Pa, Aug. 3.--What is the
country coming to-, or rather going
to, when the great state of Pennsyl-
yania strikes deadly blow at one of
its chief industries-thc business of
running for office. The word has
gone forth from the state capital that
candidates must stop posting their
cards along the state highways. AS
there are thousands of such highways
IN this state, the candidates must
content themselves with sticking to
the back roads hereafter The latter
are comparatively little travelled and
so cards placed there do the candi-
date very little good. Cards posted
along state highways are classed as
advertising and are forbidden by a
new law passed last spring, but not
enforced until this week.
The agitation against the cards
was really begun by autorobillsts.
Very few road officials know Of the
new law, but the motorists club,
watch had the law passed, knew all
about It's possibilities The cards
are fastened with sharp pointed taeks
When winds and storms occur many
cards are torn down and with them
often fall tae tacks point upward on
the highway Many tire, rolling
forth in pomp, puffed up and full of
air loseth its substance when pierced
by the humble tack.
Township supervisors throughout
the state have been ordered to re-
move cards already up and to pre-
vent others from being posted, under
penalty of law.
