 NARROWLY MISSED
 MAJORITY WEEK AGO
 The election yesterday was run-off'' election. Monday week, as is recalled, MT. Barber failed by narrow margin to receive majority vote over three oppo- nents, Judge Lane, H. s. Ryall' and c. F. Beddow. As the second strongest par ticipant, Judge Lane was forced to face  MT. Barber second tirne The week of the campaign was one of more or less ex- citement and vigorous effort was made by the Lane forces to secure the polling of the normal vote of Birmingham.
 Both camps were unusually energetic, and on the part of some of the spokes- men and publicity men of Judge Lane strenuous efforts were made to inject bit terness into the fight. Certain statements of MT. Barber, especially one to the effect that the gamblers were supporting him was ruthlessly criticized The charge was made in the press and not denied in the press that Mir. Barber was repub- ucan in that he did not support the deni- ocratic nominee for governor four years ago, and did not support Woodrow Will son in his presidential campaign against w. H. Taft and Theodore Roosevelt.
 There is a general belief in Birmingham m thtat personal attacks against Mir Barber by the Lane press served to buoy the stock of Mir. Barber and in proportion tc injure the cause of Judge Lane.

SLIGHT INCREASE IN VOTE CAST

While strenuous efforts were made by principles and their lieutenants to secure the polling of normal vote. it Is an in- teresting fact that the vote of yesterday was only slightly in excess of the vote of Monday week.
 Judge Lane increased his vote of week previous by about 300; MT Barber by about 110O. It is regarded as probable that of the 1500 cast Monday week for MT. Beddow and Mir. Ryall, the candi- dates made practically even division.
 The day was ideal. Voting was brisk at o'clock. But it was notable fact that between the hours of 10 and F O clock election officers were in the main idle. In the afternoon. however. brisk voting was

INFORMATION WANTED!

The final word spoken by the Vir-
ginia Tuberculosis Commission is that:
while Virginia needs institu
tions FOR the care of consump-
tlves, Sac needs still more to in
form her citizens of the ravages
of the disease and of the means
by which II can be combatted.'
There are well established methods
OF treating consumption: In its early
stages 1t has been frequently cured;
in its more advanced stages infre-
quently and with great difficulty of
time and expense.
Tuberculosis is preventable; that is,
the best way to cure 1t is not to con-
tract It, The best way TO prevent its
spreading Is to see that all the germs
of the disease are destroyed and not
communicated to any one else. The
best way To be immune is to live in
clean. healthy, well-aired surround
ings. Sanitation, exercise, vigilance
are the necessities of health. but are
even more necessary to insure inn
munity from consumption than from
almost any other disease. Let the
people be enlightened that the peo-
pie may live.
