 FOR THE NEXT FAIR Officials Leave for Chicago to Get In Touch With Exhibits
 and Cattle Men

To secure exhibits for next years fair,
 R. A. Brown. w. J. Adams. Victor Han
 son and others left last night, for Chi cago.
 They will attend the national convention of the American Association of Fairs, and will also take look-in at the inter
 national stock show to be held there at
 the same time.
 "One of the objects of attending the
 stock show" said Mir Brown. lis to in-
 terest the great stockmen of the country
 in our stock show here We have d
 good show. but we want it to be a big
 ger and bigger one every year, and to
 make it what it should be we want ex-
 hibits of prize northern stock 1t will serve these northern and west
 ern stockmen to make exhibits at our
 state fairs. because the exhibits there are
 always followed by purchase of cattle
 shown and each exhibit is productive of stimulus to the business in the south.
 T believe we will be able to interest the big stockmen in our fair and hope to have bunch of their prize cattle on exhibit next fall
 T admit being proud of being presi- dent of the Alabama State Fair associa- tion.' said MT. Brown. 'One of my reasons is this: Without state, county or city aid we have pulled off god shows and after facing tremendous loss in 1918, through the interruption of our fair on account of the flu, we have come to the present time with the guarantors reimbursed for their patriotic part in pulling on 9 big community enterprise and have a substantial surplus in the treasury for our future expositions."

Searching parties late last night were still securing the woods around Edgewood for the unidentified negro highwayman who, a few minutes be- fore noon Friday, shot and badly wounded w. F. Winford, dairyinan, after robbing him of $50 and pistol.
 Yesterday morning at least half 2 dozen searching parties armed with rifles, shotguns and pistols, were go ing over every inch of the ground On Shades mountain. Guards were posted on every road and path leading rem the woods. but to no avail. Not a trace of the highwayman could be found.
 Winford was held up, shot and robbed by negro on the Green Springs road. The negro stepped out from behind some bushes and demanded that Win ford stop the truck which he was driv ing
 Instead of complying Winford drew his pistol investigating officers say and began firing at the negro. The negro returned the fire immedia ,ely and one bullet took effect in Winfords right side.
 When MT. Winford fell to the floor of the truck the negro grabbed his empty pistol and robbed the pockets of his victim of all their contents s.nd $50. As he was running away from the holdup he had staged two boys who were hunting in the wodos pear by opened fire upon him, However if he was struck he was evidently not seriously injured, officers say, for he made his escape in the woods inn |diately.
 Residents of Edgewood and Shades mountain say they believe 1t is impos- .ih fnr ta hau Ia hic eGo na from the woods and they are going to keep up their search until they find him or else it is proven that he really has escaped.

 Judge Abernethy states that Iis idea is to adopt plan similar to that used with aliens during the late World war, when they were re- quired to report to the federal nu- thorities any move they expected to make. He Is of the opinion that the registration system is consti- tutional and the inauguration of 1t would require the expenditure of only small amount of money for m extra clerk and the cards.
 He declared no honest person would object to registering and giving the desired information and it would be of invaluable assistance in running down crooks, many af whom have been prcying on the public in and around Birmingham during the past few weeks.
 The plan k patterned after that of European countries which have such n system.

TONNAGE
 TAX CASE ON GOAL
 BE NOW DISMISSED
Operators Attorney Serves Notice In U. s. Supreme Court to That Effect.
 Would Clear Matter

Formal notice has been given by the attorneys for the coal operators resisting the imposi- ion of the tonnage tax on coal that the appeal now pending in the United States supreme court will be dismissed. This notice has been filed with the clerk of the supreme court of Alabama, from which the ap- peal was taken.
 Dismissal of the appeal was decided on some time ago. In taking this ac- tion the petitioners will not waive 9ny legal rights they might have in the premises, but it was decided that they pay this tax voluntarily and without protest during the present state ie- gime and as a special and emerg ency measure to enable the state to catch | up financially
 THOUGHT TEMPORARY It was understood at the time the tax was imposed that il was to be of temporary and emergency nature and not the declared permanent policy iof the state.
 1 Coal operators are not surprised at the announcement from Washington I that the interstate commerce commis- sion has ordered cancellation of the coal car priority orders, effective next Monday. The coal supply has become easy all over the country and special consideration for movement of coal is no longer necessary The order Is to the effect that all car preferences be done away with as soon as possible.
 ENOUGH CARS l There is an ample supply of coal cars in Alabama now and the supply has also been sufficient to relieve con gestion of stocks in the yards of fin- ished iron and steel producers.
 The steam coal production in Ala bama is ample for all purposes with some low grade coals failing to find d ready market
 There is a greater supply of men ap- plying for work in the coal mines than lis needed.
 The production of domestic coal is increasing every week and the situa ton there has eased up considerably
