8,OOO-TON ORDER
 FOR PIPE PLACED
One of Largest In Months. New Orleans Wants It for
 Sewerage

The largest order for Birmingham wa ter pipe booked in several months has Just been placed by the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board with the Uni- i ted States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry i Company.
 The order is for 1000 tons of large pipe and for 1.050 tons of smaller sizes. The larger sizes run 42 inches in diameter and the smaller sizes from four to 20 inches.
 A delivery of a portion of the pipe will begin at once. Some of the pipe is all ready on hand. It remains over from a large contract made with the Argentine government prior to the war. Delivery on part of this was interrupted by the war. This pipe now becomes available for extension of the waterworks system of the city of New Orleans.
 North Carolina municipalities continue to be among the leading takers of Bir- mingham gas and water pipe. A wonder, ful kind of prosperity appears to pervade the state in almost every line and is re- flected by municipal development.
 South Carolina towns have also been steady takers of Birmingham water pipe Hartsville, S. C.. has ordered several hundred. tons.
 In the near future shipment of an ad- ditional 1000 tons of gas and water pipe will be made to Japan, which took 5,001 tons several months ago.

NEGRO KILLED BY
 GAR CONDUCTOR

w A. Tidwell, conductor on a negro trailer on the Pratt-EnsIey car line, shot and almost instantly killed Ben Wiley, negro. about 7:45 o'clock last night near Weaver Station, when the negro drew a knife and cut him on the back of the neck after refusing to get off the trailer.
 According to witnesses, the negro started an argument with the conduc- tor because the motorman had failed to stop for him at his station. When the car stopped just below the station the negro drew knife and stabbed the conductor in the back of the neck.
 Two other negro passengers on the trailer sprang up to assist the negro with the knife, whereupon the conduc- tor drew his pistol and fired one time The bullet struck the negro with the knife in his hands and he died a few minutes later. The two negroes that had sprang to his assistance fled when the conductor drew his pistol.
 Emergency call officers from head quarters conducted an investigation, but at late hour last night the con- ductor had not been placed under bond.

through the city schools. The circulars outline the work of the night school and urge the people who need or want the instruction to come and get 1t.
 Besides this method of advertising the work of the night school, the board has employed two teachers to work in the home department of the school sys- stem. The teachers are employed on night school time and it is their duty to visit the homes and shops of the foreign population during the after moons, pass the time of day with them and present to them personally the ad vantages of the night school.
 We have found that personal con- tact with the foreign population is the very best method that can be used to persuade the grownups to come to school and learn American ways" said pr. C. B. Glenn. Tt is the duty of the home department teachers to go about and carry the idea of the night school to the people. Incidentally, they often illustrate their arguments by doing a little bit of teaching in the home.'

LIQUOR SEIZED

Five gallons of liquor in a suitcase, 5000 cigarettes, said to have been stolen, a trunk with a small quantity of liquor in it. and twenty give gallon cans with a liquor odor. were taken in a raid by City Detectives Cartwright and Williamson about 10:30 o'clock last night at 17291a Third avenue, north.
 Barred doors at first offered resist ance to the two detectives, but after they were opened the two negroes who are supposed to have been in the room at the time, had made their escape. The detectives state that they believe that the two negroes were acting as a "fence" for stolen property, as well as running a house where several differ ent varieties of corn liquor could be purchased

Jenison S Realty Review

There never was a more suit able time for the man Cor the woman) who proposes to own a home in Birmingham, or to make an investment that will yield intensive returns, to buy residential real estate.
 During the war fortunes were made in every line of business owing to the great de- mand and short supply of ma terial. This has caused a great increase in the cost of every thing, with one exception that is, vacant land. Experience shows that lots rise in value as other commodities recede from the high price level. The very solidity of land makes powerful appeal in such periods.
 As prices of building ma terials and other costs of build ing go lower and become more stabilized, (and this process is going on steadily) the build ing movement accelerates, with a consequent increase for sites. Thus it is that the law of sup ply and demand has been all ready at work, and in a short time there will be a substan- tian increase in the price or residential real estate. It is, therefore, wise to BUY BE- FORE THE RISE.
 As a matter of fact, inn proved vacant lots of the, de- sirable kind are already be- coming scarce in Birmingham. It will probably be a long time before any new residential subdivisions will be opened, as the utilities companies are not in position to make extensions into new country.
 The facts being as stated above, we cannot too earnestly advise the purchase of vacant l. residential property. As we have said before, the day is all most past when lots in such splendid locations as Noun tain Terrace, Cliff Read and AL lamont Road can be bought on the basis of the pre-war cost of improvements, or where work ingman can become the owner of a great big lot in Central Park at the very low prices asked for this property, when it's ideal location in the matter of accessibility from all sec tions of this district is con sidered.
 BUY NOW and insure your self against future regrets.

BY Edmund Vance Cooke.
There's q little. lost town down Dixie
way,
Down Dixie way. down Dixie
way,
Where the years are young and the
hearts are gay
And the perfume bubbles across the
bay
And December blooms with the flowers
OF May,
Down Dixie way, down Dixie
way,
In the dear little town down Dixie
way.
oh, the skies are clearer
And the hearts are dearer
And the face of a friend Is
q laughing mirror.
And il sends back all that the soul
would say
To q friend in the own down Dixie
way,
Down Dixie way.
AS the world went wandering by
Went by to-day went by to-
day,
oh. the miracle maiden passed my
And the stones OF the pavement leaped
IN play,
For the bloom of her breath was that
rare boquet,
That rare boquet, that rare
boquet
OF the lost little town down Dixie
way.
Oh, the skies shone brighter
And the clouds were whittier
And the heart OF the world
laughed light and lighter.
AS told her all I had meant to say
In tho lost little town down Dixie way,
Down Dixie way.

Mrs. Hurford, who spent six weeks
on a plantation near Palm Beach, told
how airplanes were being used to
smuggle whiskey to the summer re-
sort.
The ocean is crowded with all man
ner of craft and the air is dark with
aircraft-mostly hyd. oplanes- all en-
gagged in smuggling whiskey to the
Florida coast Mrs. Hurford said.
THE source of supply Is the island
called Bimini, under the British pro-
tectorate, sixty-five miles off the coast.
Every vessel that can be stolen,
bought, begged or chartered is sent to
Bimini and loaded with whiskey and
other liquors.
"They bring it to the three mile
limit and then the hydroplanes fly
out. The whiskey is thrown overheard
with buoys attached and picked up
by the planes and brought to land.
City and state officials wink at
the traffic. They take the stand that
prohibition was forced upon the state
by federal authorities. SO federal au-
thorities must enforce it,

HOPE OF FINISHING
BRIDGE BY FIRST OF
DEC. IS ABANDONED D
Difficulty in Getting Materials Will
Probably Delay Completion to
January First.

As a result of the difficulty in get
ting materials. especially cement, and
rainy weather, work or the Charlotte
harbor bridge has been delayed and
all hope of finishing it by the first of
December, as contemplated when
work was resumed last January, has
been abandoned. At present there
seems to be little prospect of the
bridge being completed before the
middle of January or the first of Feb
ruary OF next year.
Recently the contractors have been
experiencing much difficulty in get
ting cement, and because their supply
became exhausted no concrete has
been poured for the past several
weeks. However, two carloads are
now on the way from Jacksonville.
While waiting for cement the work
has been pushed as fast as possible
and 100 feeet of rail forms are in
place ready to receive the concrete
as soon as the cement arrives. About
200 feet of floor forms are ready to
receive concrete also.
Approximately 2,430 feet of the
bridge is to be constructed, 43O feet
OF the unfinished portion being on
the Punta Gorda side of the draw
and the remainder on the Charlotte
Harbor side. The two carloads of
cement now on the tracks will be suf-
ficient to build to the draw on the
Punta Gorda side.
Under favorable conditions about
100 feet of the bridge can be built
per week. At this rate it will take
at least 25 weeks to complete the
bridge under the best of conditions,
so there is little hope that it can
