SEPTEMBER MOVING TINE.

September the first is moving
time in Columbus. At that time the
rental year ends and there will be
more changes in residences in Colum-
bus this year than ever before. There
has been more activity in city realty
this season than ever before in the
history of the city and this necessi-
hates a great deal of moving.
On College street alone there will
be ten changes Of residences, and the
number Of changes on other principal
residence streets will almost be
equally as large.
Most Of the changes this year are
people who are moving into homes
which they have recently purchased,
while others are tenants moving from
ore residence to another.
There are large numbers of people
outside Of Columbus who are DESTROYS
of moving to this city but will have
to wait until homes are available.
September is moving time and Col
umbus will be busy place about the
first.

IRA VAL BUYS AN ESSEX.

Ira Vail, the noted racing driver,
has joined the ranks of Essex owners,
having purchased a Five Passenger
Phaeton on the occasion of visit t.
the factory few weeks ago. He i'm
mediately drove it to his home in
Brooklyn, N. Y. After covering more
than 2,200 miles in the car, he de-
clared:
AFTER two thousand miles of good
road driving, can say that | have
never seen any car that equalled the
Essex getaway Its ease Of control,
comfort and performance are simply
Wonderful. While / expected some
thing extraordinary in the Essex, its
performance has far surpassed any
thing ! believed possible.
The remarkable ability of the car
has been surprise to me in every
way"

and attended by seventy-four mem
bers Of the family and eleven visitors.
This is one Of the oldest and largest
families Of the county. The Rev. Mr.

THE TROUBLES OF A
STREET COMMISSIONER

Gilbert wrote that q policeman's
lot is not happy one. But Gilbert
didn't know about a street commits
sioner. This is the opinion of Col.
S. A. Wilder, present street commits
sioner.
There is always the other side, and
here it is, said Mr.. Wilder yesterday.
Every day people call me up and
bless me out for not hauling grass
and ashes and other prescribed things
from their premises. They forget
that ] haven't the authority to reg
ulate these matters. The Council
adopts the ordinances and / receive
my orders from the street committee
and the mayor. And have to follow
these orders. So when complaints
are made they ought to go to the au-
thorities in charge and not to the man
ordered to perform specific work
only.
Now there is no law for carting off
garbage from the residential district
Of Columbus. It has been a custom
here and with the scarcity Of labor
in the community property holders
are unloading everything On the

of 10000 barrels day, its own pipe
line to its storage tanks and leading
facilities on the line of the north
western railroad. One steel tank Of
$4,000 barrel capacity is nearly fin
ished, and the material is on the
ground or en- route for Others. The
plant in the field consists of a pump
ing site for which the pumps have
been purchased, and a system of
gathering lines that reaches the prin-
cipal independent producers Of the
middle field. The Maer-Brookins line
was scheduled to be in operation
within two weeks from this date
when the plans Of the builders were
first given to The Times, and the
purchasers have acquired a going
business" in every sense of the word.

street cleaning department. Just 70
give you an instance: One property
holder dumped on the streets fifteea
loads of grass and corn stalks and
rubbish. 1t required one wagon all
day to haul away his trash and then
the job was not completed. How
much force viii it require to do this
for the whole community.
The street cleaning department now
consists Of six wagons, four repairing
the streets with gravel and clay and
one continuously hauling garbage
from the business district and one
working in the residence section. Re
quest was recently made of the eoun-
Gil for four more wagons to devote
to the residence garbage problem but
the council was forced to turn the
request down. The city hadn't the
money-that's all.
The street force now hauls kitchen
refuse, bottles and cans and that's
all All other things must be burned
on the premises.

Mr.. J. H. Holmes spent several
days Of the past week in Mobile Wis
iting Mrs. Holmes, who is confined
in sanatorium Of that city, and re.
ports that she is rapidly improving
and hopes are now entertained that
she will soon recover and return e
her many friends, restored to perfect
health.
Mr.. Carroll Haynie, who has been
in the navy Of the United States for
the past two years, has obtained ar
honorable discharge and is now with
his father in the Hebron neighbor-
hood.
Mrs. T. J. LOngmire, accompanied
by little Miss Louise, returned Sat
urday from st. Louis, where she spent
the week purchasing her stock of mil
linery for the fall and winter trade.
Friends Of Mr.. Lloyd Beasley are
pleased to SEE him out after being
confined at home a part of the past
week, suffering from the bad effects
of an injured leg.
Mr.. X. G. Jones, Of Reform, was
transacting business in Carrollton
last Thursday.
Mrs. C. c. Rogers and son, Frank,
have returned from Huntsville, where
they have been spending the past
several weeks with relatives.
Messrs. 4. E. and NJ. NJ. Elliott re-
turned TO Carrollton the early part
of last week from Moundville, where
they attended the burial of a rela-
tive, which occurred there the latter
part of the previous week.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Box have re-
turned to their home in Reform,
after pleasant stay with relatives
and friends in Talladega.
Extensive improvements are being
made on the ginnery Of NJ. C. Nc
Adams e. Company at Millport and
they expect to be in a position TO
handle all ginning brought to them
without causing any unnecessary de-
lays as were experienced the past
season. In conversation with the
writer Mr.. McAdams stated that he
was installing eight gin heads to take
care Of the cotton crop this season
and also eliminate the night work
that he was compelled to do last
season in order to handle the cotton
brought there for ginning. No doubt
the farmer who has cotton for gin
ming will appreciate what this com
pany is doing so that they will not
be delayed in getting their crop
ginned without killing so much time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack NJ. Pratt and
children and Miss Hine spent a part
of last week in the northern portion
Of the county visiting Mr. Pratt's

Carrollton is one of the towns in
this county that is enjoying unusual
good health, not single case Of seFi-
Gus sickness has developed in the
place since the "fiu" epidemic Of last
winter, and then no deaths occurred
from the malady. We do not believe
that there is another town in the state
that can claim as good health at
Carrollton. And then, too, this good
health does not apply to the town
proper, but for several miles sur
rounding the physicians claim that il
is distressingly healthy.
Mr.. T. H. holland, Of the holland
section, was q business visitor in
Carrollton Monday.
Mrs. Annie Feeble, Of Livingston,
arrived in Carrollton Saturday for q
months stay with relatives.
Mr.. w. j. Carpenter, mayor Of Re-
form, was trRnsacting business at
the county seat on Tuesday of last
week.
Mrs. E. P. Ezell, Of Pickensville,
was among those who spent a day
the past week with friends in Car
rollton.
So elated was our friend Clayton
Cox over the hit made by Lloyd
Beasley in the baseball game between
Carrollton and Columbus last week
when three men crossed the plate,
winning the game for the home team,
that night when he went to "nappy"
land he dreamed dream. The
dream as related by Mr.. Cox is quite
interesting to the Carrollton fans,
but no doubt will be a little disgust
ing to those loyal to the Columbus
team. He states that he dreamed
the Carrollton team was playing Co
lunbus on their grounds, which were
located in a beautiful spot with long
sloping hills where the spectators
were seated. Three men were on
bases, Beasley came to the bat and
met the ball face to face, which took
a fight over the beautiful valley, and
after reaching a certain distance
stopped in the air while the three
men crossed the plate, then took
another flight and was lost to vision.
After awaking from his dream the
ball had not been recovered and we
suppose it is hidden somewhere on
the banks Of Luxapalha creek.
Mr.. T. T. Joyner and Mr.. X. H.
Joyner, of the Tabernacle section,
were among Carrollton's visitors one
day the past week.
Mr.. Herbert Collins, accompanied
