LAWRENCE HAS NO
 l. OFFERFROM0THER CITIES, HE STATES
Has Been Considering In creasing Time for War WOrk-COmmission to
 Confer Today

It is most, likely that members of the city commission will get together this morning and consider the matter of re- taining Prof Robert Lawrence as di- rector of the community sings in Bir- mingham, following the request made of the commission yesterday by committee from the Rotary club. Mir. Lawrence has never made any kind of an intimation to the city about what he desired, or as to whether he wanted anything out of the city; in fact, he has never discussed the matter or even approached a discussion with members of the commission.
 That he has an offer it is understood. but it has all along been the impression that this was in connection with the war work that he is doing in Camp McCiel- Ian, which will be an enlargement on his time in this regard, and he is very anxi- cue to do what he can in this line for the government,
 When asked last night, following his arrival in the city, about the offer from Atlanta or New Orleans, as carried in the afternoon papers, Professor Lawrence said:

LAwRENCE's STATEMENT

T was never more surprised in my life than when I bought the evening papers on the train last night and read that | had had offers from Atlanta and New Orleans to conduct their community sings, said Robert Lawrence last night. "The statements are absolutely untrue, as l have never had any such offers, and, as far as l know, never will. l am certainly sorry such a false statement should have become current and want to say again that it is absolutely false.
 Tt is true that I have been approached regarding giving more of my time to army work and I am giving the matter my consideration. If my services can be used in any way to brighten the lot of the soldiers in our camps I feel that it is not only my duty, but great privi- lege, to make every effort to extend them. q trust that each and every one of my friends will take advantage of every opportunity to deny the report regarding an offer from Atlanta and New Orleans. for it is very embarrassing to me to have my friends in these two cities read a statenfent that is untrue, and which puts me in such ridiculous light.

TRIALS OF SCHOOL TEACHER

V Y
 Professor Charles K. West was the first speaker of the evening and took up the issue from it's very beginning Ike outlined the duty and responsibility of the public schools, of their foun- dation and of the laws which govern them. He told in somewhat detailed manner the many cares and trials of a school teacher, and laid particular em- phasis on the need of the cooperation of the parents.
 He told then of the needs of the Boyles school. of the trials that awaited the man who tries to teach the children and the parents at the same time. He concluded by stating that the courts could be depended upon to render speedy justice in the case under discussion and cited the quick action of Solicitor Tate in presenting the matter for the consideration .e the grand jury, stating that two law yers had been employed to assist in the work.

C. A. Jones, in speech to- the as-
 sembly, made an appeal to the people not
 only to remove "a branch of the dead
 tree but get to the root of the matter,
 and remove the main root" He then of fered resolution to the crowd, asking that Mrs H. E. Pearce postmistress of Boyles be succeeded immediately by another whose nature was more like that of the community. Mrs. Pearce sent 2 registered letter to Prof. J. D. Moore of the Boyles grammer school sometime ago in reference to the alleged corporal punishment inflicted upon her child, pupil attending the Boyles school.
 Early in the meeting it was proposed that fund be subscribed in order that complete justice might be done for the alleged wrong to Professor Moore. one hundred dollars was called for and In about 10 minutes $1530S had been sub b- scribed. This money is to help defray the expenses of a competent lawyer and to pay any other expenses that might arise. Pictures were taken or Professor Moore yesterday. These Will | be exhibited in court, it is stated.

INyITATION TO LEAVE

Jack Sorsby, a resident of Boyles,
 was the first speaker and in simple but not uncertain phrases he Ueiterated the causes which. he stated, had led UT. to
 this present trouble in the commurAy. In conclusion he said: T feel from the
 sentiments of this crowd, and I mean by that the whole crowd for l nave
 been all through it, that this would be mighty good time to give him lGil-
 Ililand) an invitation to leave here. As he descended from the steps he was cheered to the echo.
 A call arose for a speech from Alfred Thomson. who responded. MT. Thoma
 son pleaded with the crowd not to take a one sided view of the question, how ever much it was their desire to so do, and asked them to let the law take it's course. Lets not be hasty in this mat ter" he said. Let's give it our atten
 tion. get to the bottom of the case and get the facts surrounding and beneath
 the trouble and then to whoever is found to be responsible, let justice be done" That this suggestion met with
 the approval of the crowd. was shown
 by the hearty applause and cheering
 which followed

RAILROADS USE MUCH COAL
Require Almost Twenty-Five Per Cent
of the Total Output of
the Country.

Figures compiled by c. r. Lcsher of
the United States geological survey
show that 13G,00O.OOG tons of bitumi-
nous coal, 6,735,000 net tens of Penn
sylvania anthracite ana o, 950 tons of
coke were used by the railroads in the
United States in 1916. The increase
in the quantity of bituminous coal
used by the railroads in 1916 was
100000 tons, which was 11.5 per
cent more than 1915. The increase in
the consumption of anthracite by the
railroads was but 535, GOO net tons, or
8.5 per cent. There was an increase
in railroad consumption of nearly
100000 tons of coal from Illinois,
about 100000 from Ohio and Of
100000 from West Virginia. The
quantity Of coal from Pennsylvania
used by the railroads decreased nearly
100000 tons.
The quantity of bituminous coal
used by the railroads in the eastern
district increased from 5G,500,000 to
62,700,000, or IL per cent. The increase
in the Southern district was from Do
100000 to 23,300000, or 81 per cent,
and in the Western district, from 43,
100000 to 5o000,0O0, or 10 per cent.
The total quantity of bituminous
coal used by the railroads was about
~ per cent of the total production as
against IS per cent in 1915. The
Pennsylvania anthracite used by the
railroads il 1916 was TT per cent Of
the total anthracite produced and the
combined bituminous and anthracite
used, 142, 735,000 tons, was 24 per cent
of the output, the same as in 1915.

LIFE OF A DEPOT AGENT
His Duties Are Manifold and He Is
Envied by Few, According
to This.

The life of q railway agent is one of
roses and cinders for the most part.
Some folks think that about all he
has to do is to sell tickets and keep
the extra cent when he makes odd
change, but there are other things in
the life of a railway agent besides
framing your face in ticket office
window and opening money drawer
with a dOorbell on 1t, and smiling when
the folks ask him what time the 8 :03
train will be here If it's on time.
From early In the morning when he
starts the day by looking into the coal
bin at the end of the platform to see
how much bituminous has been stolen
during the night, until shutdown, when
he starts out to hang drug store signs
on the switch posts, he is an extremely
busy man, says the Walker (Alinn.)
Pilot. Between checking over freight
receipts and running the hay press
for the carbon copies Of waybills, it's
no wonder he hasn't time to build a
fire In the waiting room or rub off last
weeks train schedule from the black
board. because he is busy man.
He listens to complaints with one ear
and the telegraph keys with the other,
and has been known to answer the
phone, sell steamship ticket and put
q bucket of coal in the stove all at the
same time, In order to get his work
done within the eight-hour schedule.
About the only ones to envy an
agent his Job are the girls In the
town, and that's because he has such
a good chance TO get acquainted with
the brakemen on all the freights.
