have decided to provide Pell City, Lin
coin and other places of that size with
electric lights from our transmission
wires which are already in place. This
will not involve a very great amount
of money, but at the same time it will
be considerable sum as sums go at

We have about completed our other
works. At this time 1t is not unnatural
for us to be cautious in spending large
sums. However, we are doing the best

warned the people that unless RELIEF was

This deficit has arrived on schedule time

mighty CONFUSION from one end OF the
earth to the other The waves are rolling
mountain high even here in Alabama, and
the great ship Birmingham Is battling
with the storm and blowing her way
through with the best Of them.
She is riding firm and steady. There IL
no lack of loyalty and seamanship, nor
strength, nor of definite charts pointing to
her manifest great destiny-but her fuel
is about to give out.
1t is fuel only that she needs to
weather this storm of the centuries. and
then for the calm. peaceful tcean of pros

Shall the great ship Birmingham, with
the wealth of all her people, be the only
derelict the only wreck to be recorded
when this world wide convulsion shall
have passed away and the chart of catas-

world? Sincerely, GEO. B. WARD

through the corridors of the county

to him in determined feminine hand.
The letter continued as follows and is
decidedly self explanatory:

Would like for you to send me some
names of honorable young men in your

PETROGRAD SAFE
ACCORDING To
RUSSIAN ADV|CES
Riga Is Also Secure From Cap
ture by German lnVad-
ing Armies

Petrograd, Sept. 22.-Riga and Petro-
grad are safe from the mighty German
war machine, officials declared today as
result of Slav victories against them
before Dvinsk and because of reported
heavy Withdrawals for the Balkan
drive.
Repeated reverses before Dvinsk out
er works have affected the Germans
morale it is claimed, Moreover there
is a notable and growing lack of
"punch" in the German onslaught.
The official statement remained sill
ent today about the situation around
Wilma, from which place the Slavs re-
treated.
1t was believed, however, that the
Slavs have slipped out from the German
trap, as they did after Warsaw fell,
and that they have retired toward
Minsk.

State House To Have
Fire Walls In Attic

Workmen began yesterday to erecting
fire walls in the attic of the state house
which will divide this part of the build
ing into four compartments for fire
protection. In the event of fire reach
ing the upper part Of the building it
will be possible to cOnfine it to one
wing or to one side OF the wing and
the empty loft will not serve as hugo
chimney to spread the flames through
out the entire upper part of the struc-
ture. The walls are being made of hol-
low tile. A floor is being laid through
out the attic also and will provide con
siderable space for storage of dead
documents and files of reports,
The painting of the two upper floors
has just been compelled Last year the
exterior of the builoing and the first
floor interior were painted. The indi-
viduals who insist in carving their init
ials upon every spot in the dome pos
sible will also be fOrestalled by the
lantern compartment being encased IN
sheet iron. In the little room at the eN-
treme top of the dome initials are
carved three or four deep in some
places and there is scarcely square
inch that does not give notice to tho
fact that "X Y q" visited the dome
on certain date.
The lanterns will be repaired at this
time according to Secretary of state Ol-
colt, who is custodian of the building
and the copper sheeting that encases the
dome will be repaired as it has worn
out in numerous places. An appropria-
tion of $500 for repairs and upkeep
was made by the last session of the
