PLUMLEE BUYS A
 BURNETT STORE
Well Known Salesman Takes Over Place on Corner of Third and
 Nineteenth

Pryor H. Plumlee has purchased the Third avenue and Nineteenth street cigar business from the R. D. Burnett Cigar company, An announcement to this effect was made yesterday by R. D. Bur nett, president of the latter company The store secured is considered one of the best locations in the retail district, and one of the most elegant of the Bur nett stores. The price paid for the place was not made known by MT. Burnett. However, it is said to have been rather high. MT. Burnett only recently spent quite sum of money making the store attractive.
 MT. Plumlee is one of the best known young business men in Birmingham. He has been with the Burnett company for 15 years, and has perhaps wider ac- quairtance than any salesman in this district.
 MT. Burnett made this statement in con- nection with the sale;
 MT. Plumlee has been with us for 15 years. and he wanted to enter business for himself. On account of his loyalty to me during these years I encouraged him in that ambition and agreed to sell him the Third avenue store. I would not have considered selling except under the peculiar circumstances of this case. bespeak for MT. Plumlee every considera- tion as he is q young man that has mer ited every success. and I hope his good fortune continues"

SON OF B. STEINER, FELIX BLACKBURN
 AND EVANS MAKE
 REPLIES TO WARD
tcontinued from p.se Five,

tion was first suggested by MT. G. Ward as competent person to compile same. ..
 Reply of Frank V. Evans
 Frank V Evans. former mayor of Birmin gham, who investigated the sink ing fund situation, and to whom Mir Ward referred, made the following statement:
 "If Commissioner Wards conjecture or insinuation is true that Blackburn, Waldrop and Evans represent B. Steiner in the discussion of the city's sinking fund and the commissioners statement is correct that B. Steiner is the owner of the bonds sought to be protected. then. under Chairman Bowies ruling that the bondholders alone have right to object to a diversion of the fund and rot the taxpayers. there has been no undue interference with, no fmpolite reference to- no impudent questioning of the manner of execution of the trust.
 While the committee of one hundred was patriotically considering the finan- cial status of the city, l simply sus- gested that the sinking fund be ex- amined by a committee that its status might be made known. Not being one of the committee, I had no idea of be- ing appointed to the task and would never have been. brought into this con troversy had not Commissioner Ward cleverly and fiatteringly suggested my name as one suited to the task of mak- ing the examination
 "Following the published suggestion of my name, MT Blackburn requested my service. and I simply presented him with figures taken from the reports of the city commissioners. This did with out comment, as I was not asked for opinions.
 T have never discussed this matter with B. Steiner, nor any member of his family or his firm, and my acquaintance with Mr. Waldrop is so limited that I would not know. him on sight. Until Commi ssioner Wards pronunciamento this morning. I was not aware that the Stelners were present owners of the city bonds, as I understood they pur- chased them while at the lowest ebh and sold immediately at great profit. to themselves
 'I submit that Commissioner Wards over sensitiveness as to the criticism and exposure of his official acts does not justify him in impugning to me dis honorable service for personal gain. Designated by him as an accountant to investigate figures and report thereon, is sufficient evidence of his personal regard for me prior to his fit of anger produced by turning on the light. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad G&HA

POLAND SUFFERING
 HORRIBLY FROM WAR
Graphic Description of Bat tlefield by Writer in
 Cologne Gazette

Cologne. January 2o.-(Correspond- , ence of the Associated Press )-"Ruins everywhere and far and wide the flames and white-he glow of burn ing villages and farms says wrseer to the Cologne Gazette, describing the battlefield of Nowosolna, near Lodz in Poland. Along the charred timbers of the houses stil crept the sparks which an active breeze would not permit to die, as we went through the wilder ness of gray-black ruins.
 Angry dogs glided through the ruined buildings and threw themselves upon everybody in their way. Out on the fields. where the thin and starved winter crops had been trampled into the mud, thousands of homeless pig cons flew about aimlessly. Like their owners, they had lost their homes and become the victims of this war.
 "Graters in the brown earth showed where our shells had struck in and near the Russian trenches: now a little behind, then little in front but al ways close to the mark. The ground had literally been narrowed by the bull let's of our infantry.
 The sight of the Russian trenches was horrible. The losses of the Rus sians had again been heavy and it was 9 severe tax upon those charged with the work to bury the many dead in company graves. The entire country side was a tremendous cemetery.
 Many of the txenches were still full Of dead-corpses lying in the midst of all sorts of food. as if they had been struck down while eating. Pieces of bread and remains of other food, empty and filled tin cans, heaps of cartridges rifles, spades picks. knapsacks, field flasks and other articles of equipment SeF l.. -l the trenches.
 "The work of the burial parties was hard and trying, but 1t had to be lone At any rate, it was not sad d duty as burying our own dead.
 Toward evening a large number of rude crosses had been set up, marking the resting places of those for whom many a hot tear will be shed. On hill Russian and German graves were close together-grouped about a heavy Russian field piece, which had been lit- erally smashed by a square hit under the barrel.
 ! "On another hill I met soldiers of the regiment. who were buryins their comrades, going to work silent sly and with sad expressions on their faces. one large grave had already been closed and into the second the harvest of death was being gathered.
 "Then the grave began to fill with searth and soon there was a brown hill over it. Helmets off for prayer com manded one of the men and then the grave diggers entered upon that sec ond function of theirs-offic ciating clerygmen Those were real prayers,
 Later I took walk with ser geant He seemed to know most of these who had just been buried and had a kind word for all. He also apoko of the dead Russians They had held of,. 4trffh a fan Il deserved credit, he said They were brave men"

in fact, friendly help can render the greater service.
 We cannot give that service through statistical information. we must know those among us who are living amid the gloom of misfortune Now. understand, it is not intended to recommend sentiment as the only basis of this work. There must be good business used in the meth ods. These committees should consist of practical as well as soulful women who know what course to pursue for speedy relief. and how to gradually rebuild the helpless.
 There Is so much good among those who are wasting their lives in wanting that it is an imperative duty of the cit- izenship to reach out a hand to help. Birmingham is generous-the people are constantly giving-and still the cry for help. There is something even the best of us have failed to do.
 Suggestion Open for Criticism t'This is a problem for every minister fin Birmingham, and every mother. The plan suggested is susceptible of improve ment-is open for criticism. I have only tried to pave the way for a broader field of action.
 We all know we have neighbors who need us. Now. which is the best way to reach them?
 
 for help. They are waiting for somebody to knock at their door with a light to lead them from their darkness
 Those who have never worked should be trained to work; and they will be made better citizens. The welfare work from among the mothers of the city will give many lessons to those who have work and need better dispensation of their income. Each visit will leave some thought, some impression for broader eff fort; and thus more peace of mind to the community.
 Every day will be 'streamer day when the women of Birmingham have a perfect knowledge of the real conditions of the city.
 ''The committees chairman, from each locality could form council of relief work, and hold a monthly meeting for a greater perfection of the effort. This plan could be systematized so as to re- quire one hours work from each woman a week.

By that time they have become suffiicetly famil- far with American ways and customs to understand the status of the public school and they are then usually willing to go there.

Big Meeting at Falkyille

FallSville, February 6-(Special)-The experts on crop diversifcation spoke to large and enthusiastic meeting of farm CTS and business men here yesterday. The meeting was held in a large ware house, and was comfortably filled. Mrs Whitney addressed the school children in the morning, dwelling principally on the formation of canning clubs. The people in this section are pledged to diversfication and curtailment of cotton acreage. More attention is being paid to hog raising than ever before. and there is perhaps one or two more pigs at every home than heretofore.
 Owing to the fact that the extreme cold has hurt fall oats, planters are pre- pairing to SOW large acreage of spring oats.

 Mrs. w. r. Alexander, the music teacher, is a white-haired lady, whom you would naturally call mother; and she is a mother to the whole mission. She has been in the school for years, and she teaches all the music in Spanish and in English, and also the international Sunday school lesson in Spanish to those who do not yet know English.
 Miss Hettenhausen, a graduate of the kindergarten department of the Methodist Episcopal Training school at Nashville, has a class of bright, laughing, round little Cubans and Spaniards that are as cunning as can be. It would do you good to see them. with their black hair and great dark eyes, and to hear their nut sical bue unpronounceable names; Els trella Alousa, Esperanza Borrego, Igna cio Haya, Helena Pitica, and so on down the list.
 The third assistant is Yoila Estrella Delgado (the star girl for lEstrella Is Spanish for our word star). Miss Delgado is a mission girl herself, having been edu- cated there, later attending the Tampa High school. and returning as a young teacher, where she was lately school girl. She has a most pleasing manner and a command of English that has in 1t no hint of a foreign accent. She is devoted to the school and tfe other teachers are proud of her because she Is one of their own girls.
 In starting the mission the teachers first work was to become acquainted with 10000 to 20,000 Cubans or at least to set the Cubans acquainted with them. so that they would send their children to school. Otherwise they would go to no , Fill. Townley, Nauyoo and Corona. Con- mittees were appointed for each of these towns and these committees will take charge of the details at each place.
