Ever Stationed Here.

Alphonsus o. Rice, aged 20, one Of
the best known and most highly re-
spected residents of this city died yes
terday afternoon shortly after one
o'clock at Cook hospital after an i'll
ness of several months duration of
complication of diseases. Last De-
ceu1ber Mr.. Rice suffered a severe ILL
ness from which he never entirely re-
covered and last June was compelled
to give up his duties and for the last
four months has been confined to
Cook hospital. In the past few weeks
he had been gradually falling though
no immediate fear was felt. However
when his daughter Mrs. Myrtle Leon
aid left his bedside yesterday after
giving him his dinner and talking
with him he was taken with a sinking
spell and died shortly afterward.
Mr.. Rice was son Of the late Mr..
and Mrs. Rliamen Rice and was born
at WadestOWn, w. Va on August q,
1S49. For number OF years the fam
lily resided in Rttchla county and
from that county came to Fairlnont
and he had resided here about thirty
five years. Soon after coming to this
city he was appointed baggage mas
ter for the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road company and held that position
for twenty eight consecutive years.
For the past six or seven years he
had been connected with the freight
department OF the Baltimore and Ohio
No more efficient and courteous en-
ploye ever held a position with the
company and his services in the ca
-pacity of baggage master won him le-I
gions of friends. Never too tired Of
too busy to render a service to the
travelling public he won name for
himself and made friend with every
ono with whom he came in contact and
when he gave up this position general
regret was expressed.
Not only in the capacity of baggage
master did the deceased make friends
but he was equally as courteous and
kind in all hiE walks in life and it is :

 dress the members. and it is to be re- gretted that the programme was so con- ducted that he was not called upon to speak until o'clock, the usual hour for adjournment, with the result that a large number of those present were forced to leave for other appointments and con- sequentiy missed what he had to say.
 Colonel Lindsley, after thanking the club for it's hospitality in behalf of himself and the delegates present, ex- plained briefly how the legion had been organized 'as a natural result of the war" He then expressed the hope that the business men of Birmingham and the country at large would give the legion all the moral and spiritual force possi- ble.
 "The American Legion he said ''is composed of the picked men of this coun- try, the men who were found fit, physi- cally, mentally and morally to undergo the greatest test of fitness that men are ever called upon to experience. Having

 Company Is Organized
New Concern at 211 South Tweaty First Street. in Heart of
 Auto Row

New Morton and L. K. Byrd, who have recently organized the Alabama Willys Light company, will represent this farm lighting plant in Alabama with head quarters in Birmingh gham. This is one of the most efficient lighting plants, stated MT. Byrd, who has studied light ing plant requirements from the farm viewpoint and the installation and up- keep is very economical No matter what problems the farmer may have for lighting his country home or farm. there's an expert who will submit plans and also demonstrate the efficiency and dependability of the Willys lighting system.
 Six days of expert demonstrations will be held daily at the Alabama State fair, from October , to 10. at the State fair grounds at Birmingham This demonstration should attract the att tention of everyone interested in bet ter farming facilities, which can illumi- nate the largest farms at night. The approximate cost of installation may be had from the experts. who will gladly go into details for the purpose of sub hitting plans for each individual use. This is one of the big things the far mer has demanded for years. and now the practical possibility is now ready for your inspection.

They are the men who will direct this coun- try for the next 25 years. and as such deserve the attention and support of every business man everywhere
 A novel feature of the meeting yester- day was a story telling contest. five of the youngest members of the club being called upon to relate their idea of a real funny story These young men were: Thomas Fl. Rennie, W. J. Rushton. J. D. Moore J. H. Phillips and J. W. Donelly. Their stories scored a great success. due in no small part, possibly. to the fact that the board of censorship. Sol Caheen and George Knox, had pronounced them all right.
 The singing inaugurated last week was continued yesterday with great success under the direction of Mir Shumway, and all the members joined in with a willing ness and capability that surprised not only themselves but their friends
 Charley Rice occupied a considerable proportion of the meeting with an appeal to the club to extend any aid possible to make the reformation of the National Guard in Birmingham a success. He asked especially that the employers of the district encourage their men to join.
 It was announced that next weeks luncheon will be held at the fair grounds. the club having accepted the invitation of President Brown extended at the last luncheon.

They would absolutely prohibit strikes by organized labor rega rdless of the strikers contention or treatment by employers.
 Attention was called on Wednesday to an anti-strike law. now on the statute books. It is found in the code of Ala bama of 1907. Section 6s56 It was approved on February r., 1885. The section follows:
 Any person, who by force or threats of violence to person or property, pre- vents. or seeks to prevent another from doing work or furnishing ma teriaI. or for contracting to do work or furnishing materials for or to any person engaged in any lawful busi- ness or who disturbs. interferes with or prevents. or in any manner at- tempts to prevent the lawful exercise of any lawful industry, business or calling by any other person. must, on conviction. be fined not less than $10 nor more than $500. and may also be imprisoned in the county jail or sen fenced to hard labor for the county for not more than f2 months"
