 zines in North Alabama

Dr. W. D Hubbard, chaplain of the Champion, 40 Title Guarantee building, to receive and transmit all magazines and books which might be donated by the citizens of north Alabama for the benefit of the convicts of the state.
 The convicts" said the chaplain, have acquired a wonderful fondness for reading. Men transferred from a camp where a library has been instituted to one where there is no library. appear lost Reading books has had a most uplifting effect on the men. And I trust that the good citizens of the state will donate magazines and books which car ry a message in that the work might be continued and extended.
 Conditions have been greatly i'm proved Gambling has been broken up entirely at the Wetumpka prison Leagues for the making af good and Christian citizenship have been organ ized. and the men are responding most heartily.
 MT. Rogers, president of the bureau, is an excellent man, and has the wei fare of the convicts at heart. Tho same can truthfully be said of J. M Kyser inspector, -and R. A. Smith, physician. And as whole, I feel certain that be- fore the conclusion of four years, much of the evil alleged to have existed will be eliminated, and prison life made as comfortable and beneficial as possible" !"
 Mir Champion Is well known in Bir- mingham. As stated, his office is 40 Title Guarantee building. Thefe he will be glad to receive all reading material which might be donated for the use of the men in the prisons.

COLLINS FEELS GOOD
 OVER THE OUTLOOK
Illinois Central Commercial Agent Finds People Op-
 timistic Everywhere

A. E. Collins, commercial agent of the Illinois Central railroad. Is one of the many optimistic men in railroad cir cles. He Is enthusiastic over the busi- nett outlook In the railroad world and reports gains in business for his road during the last mon.h.
 "I am one of the most enthusiastic railroad men in Birmingham over the outlook for better business this win ter" he said. "i am baslng my opinion that good times are here on the fact that everywhere in the south the peo- pie are optimistic over the future and nothing can dampen their ardor. I was in New Orleans a few days ago. Natur- ally l expected .o see the people very blue over the result Of the storm W hich visited the city few weeks ago. Instead there were no signs of hard times caused by the disaster. All of the property damage was being speed fly repaired. The refugees had been well taken care of, and the business men were alert and keen to the good times they foresaw In the near future.
 "I am free to confess l nothing s but good times and lots of them in the near future for the entire south. The people have awakened to the realixa : ton that the south is going to be the most prosperous section in the United States in a few years and they are ready to grasp any opportunity that comes their way. Cotton is selling high CT today than 1t has for the past year. Still. the farmer realizes he will get more by holding 1t and is doing so. Prosperity is the watch word and all of us will be in on It."

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA LOCAL TRAINS BACK
Nos. 3. and 4 to Savannah RestOred-SeminOle Lim-
 ited Schedule Improved

Y. J. Robinson, assistant general pas senger agent of the Central of Georgia railroad, with headquarters in Savannah, has completed all arrangements for tn, resumption of local trains Nos. 3 and and the improvement in the schedule and equipment of the Seminole Limited, run ming between Chicago and Jacksonville via Birmingham. The changes will be come effective next Monday.
 All new trains will consist of stes equipment of the most modern type. The Seminole Limited will be the most luxuri- ous train running in the south It will consist of baggage and day cars, free reclining chair cars, Pullman drawinG room sleeping cars, sun parlor observa. tion buffet car and dining car. The time of departure from Birmingham on the Seminole Limited has been changed to 40 D. m. and will arrive in Jacksonville next morning at 8 o'clock The new schedule will enable passengers on the Seminole Limited to make connections for all points in Florida. Train No. for Columbus, Macon, Savannah and Angus. ta will leave Birmingham at 4.05 in the afternoon and will arrive in Columbus 10 D. m., Macon 1.30 a. m., Savannah 7..f a. m. This train will carry buffet draw ing room sleeping car. Birmingham to Sa vannah. Train No. from Savannah Co lumbus and Macon. with sleeping car from Savannah, will arrive in Birming- ham at 1910 D. m No. 1 from Savannah Augusta, Macon and Columbus will arrive
 in Birmingham at 1925 D. m. instead of 10:10 D. m.
 The resumption of the two local trains and the improved schedule of the Semi nole Limited Is regarded as a sure sign ot returned prosperity. Mir Robinson in speaking of the changes said: 'I am de lighted to announce the resumption of better service between Biimingham Geor- gia and Florida over our lines and the improvement in schedule and equipment of the Seminole Limited. As is known we had to discontinue the two local trains some months ago on account of the fall ing off of business. Things have i'm. proved to such an extent that it has be- come necessary to give better service and accommodation to the travelling public and we are glad to be able to do so. Condi- tfons throughout the entire south have improved at a phenomenal rate and anticipate heavy tourist travel south thl. winter. There can be no reason for u. of the south to regard the future witt. pect to see the best year In the south tha. the people have enjoyed in many seasons l like Birmingham immensely and not.c, many improvements in the city on eacf occasion of my visits"

Municipal politics is alive.
 Yesterday a number of the prominent business men of Birmingham, at a meet ine in the Chamber of Commerce, agreed to put their shoulders to the wheel in behalf of Judge A. O. Lane
 And at the same time Arlie Barber was denorncing Frank P. Glass. editor of the Birmingham News. for having written editorials urfriendy to his cause, and having declined a challenge to defend them
 Last night Mir. Barber continued his whirlwind campaign of , street corner sreech-n.aking, and Judge Lane, assist ed by number of friends. made several addresses to the people.
 As a result of the activity of the can didates the voters are becoming aroused and the lethargy which characterized the first campaign is not part or parcel of the second
 The indications are that a large number of ballots will be cast Monday when the candidates submit their claims to the final decision of the people.

, ering to send up cheer which was apparently a cheer of satisfaction. Refers to Editorials Mr. Barber then explained that MT.
 Glass had written several editorials
 in which he had been criticized. He de clared that they contained statements
 which he desired Mr Glass to defend especially since he knew that they
 were not true. He challenged Mr Glass
 to prove his statement that he tthe speaker) had appealed to the passions of the people or appealed to the peo- pie in radical, revolutionary or dem agogic manner He challenged Mr Glass to prove his statement that he ethe speaker) had made an attack on his opponent, Judge Lane. Mr. Barber was followed by John W. Altman, a well known attorney. MT. Altman charged that the News was a chameleon in nature because in All gust it had declared no man in the
 race. including Judge Lane, worthy to hold the office to which the several candidates aspired. and in Septembe r had eXtolled in extravagant manner the virtues of Judge Lane, urging daily his election.
 Thereafter Mir Barber spoke again respecting the issues. as he construed them, of the campaign. Lane Meetings Scheduled Announcement of meetings in the in terest of Lanes candidacy was made last

 Barber Challenges Glass
 The incident of the day. however which seemingly appealed with most force to the people was that in which MT Barber challenged MT. Glass pub lcly to appear and defend his cam paign editorials.
 Accompanied by a large crowd. MT Barber was driven to the front of the office of the Birmingham News. Hav- ing arrived he sent a delegation to de liver his challenge to MT. Glass Two answers were returned. It was re- ported in the first place that MT. Glass had stated that he was not a candi- date for commissioner and therefore had no cause to debate against MT. Bar Der In the second place, it was re ported that Mir. Glass had said MT Barber may play his game and I will play mine This latter message prompted MT Barber to retort that he himself was too busy to play, "and that, furthermore, he did not know the nature of the game In the playing of which MT. Glass excelled."
 This remark caused the large gath

HEAVY DOCKETS IN
 CRIMINAL COURT
Smith Represented Prosecution and Chamblee Defense in Stephen Bell
 Case-Matter Explained

Another heavy docket was sounded yes- terday by Judge William E. Fort, in the first division of the criminal court. Again many cases, in which it was evident that the state would fail to make out a case were nolle pressed while in others forfeitures and continuances were taken.
 The case of stephen Bell, who was charged with false pretense, was con tinued owing to the illness of woman witness.
 In the case of Stephen Bell, it was pub lshed yesterday that John Chamblee and J. Quincy Smith, both we'll known attor- neys, had disputed each others right to appear for the defendant. What really happened was that when the case was called and Attorney Smith appeared as counse, for the state, Attorney Chamblee challengfed his authority. MT. Smith ex- plained the situation in the following let ter:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The article on the fifth page of The Age-Herald of today with reference to n dispute between J. Quincy Smith and Attorney John Chamblee as to who rep resented the defendant, Stephen Bell is absolutely incorrect, and I ask that you correct same and give it the same prom thence that you gave the article referred to. The article does me an injustice and has caused comment among my friends and certainly don't want my name con nected with such conduct as the article describes.
 The facts that did really happen are as follows: The firm of Smith and Wilkn- son, attorneys, of whom I am a mem- Der, was employed to prosecute in the case of the state of Alabama vs. Stephen Bell in the criminal court. The case was set in the first division of the criminal court before Judge w. E. Fort. When the case was called for trial, I an nounced to the court that had been em- ployed to prosecute the case with the permission of the solicitor. Mir John Chamblee, who was the attorney repre- senting Stephen Bell, the defendant, arose and objected to the court to my appear ance in the case as prosecutor, on the grounds that I was not authorized by anyone and had no right to be in the case. The court informed him that if the solicitor consented to my appearance no one else had right to object. After this the case was continued and the incident closed. Very truly, J. Q. SMITH.
