 Tt would be a good thing if the men of each neighborhood would band themselves together as a vigilance committee and two or three members be detailed to patrol the neighborhood during the early hours of thef night to give feeling of safety to return ing shoppers. Especially would this be good plan in the isolated neigh borhoods.
 USE LIGHTS
 Another measure which is simple and should prove effective will be having the houses all along the way lighted up in the front. If there is a porch light the persons occupying the house would be doing service to let it burn during the early hours. If thero was more light all along the dark streets the robberies would be considerably lessened. I believe"

The slump was due to the slackening in the demand for low grade steam coal. High grade steam coal is in as good demand as ever.
 Decidedly more green hands are ap plying for work in the mines than the operators seem able to place. The in- Aux of old men seeking their jobs again is reported as also on the con- stant increase.
 The Monday production this week was 46 cars more than on any Mon day in many weeks.
 HELP MOBILE
 The Alabama coal operators have sent out letters asking for subscrip tions to the Birmingham quota of the $37500 that must be raised to pur- chase the site for the S400,0o0 govern ment coal terminal at Mobile. Replies are expected by tomorrow. It is certain that the coal operators will raise their full proportion of the total amount. The subscription will start with 5000 from one coal concern.

It is judged from this order that the supply of steam coal the coun- try over is ample for nIl purposes, hence the withdrawal Of prefer cn"cs in shipment.
 The coal car priority order has been so modified that other than coal mines may use all gondolas with sides of 42 inches and less.
 LOCAL PRODUCTION
 Production of coal in Alabama dur ing the week ending last Saturday, as officially reported for the government, was 276,f6S tons.
 If all mines had reported the figure would have been about the same as the preceding week. As it is. the produc- ton of last week compared with 27l, 031 during the same week in 1919 when there was no mine strike. The in- crease for this year is 5000 tons.

AMENDMENT LOST . FOR LACK OF BUT
 5000 "FOR' VOTES
Nesbitt Analyses Result of Re- cent Election and Says Fail ure Was Due to lncom-
 plete Knowledge

A change of 5000 votes would have put over the sea- port amendment. This has en- couraged supporters of state aid for the port of Mobile to believe that with a little more education on the subject, the amendment will be carried next time.
 It is certain that greater effort than ever will be made to have the amend ment resubmitted and adopted.
 In analysing the vote, W. D. Nes- bitt one of the most ardent and ef- ficient of the advocates of the amend ment, has submitted the following data
 Total vote for amendment No. 1, the seaport aid amendment 77,4oo; against, Ss.071; majority against this amen- ment, 11,501.
 TOTAL VOTE
 Total vote for amendment No. ,, Jef- ferson county waterway aid amend- ment, 70,t9s; total opposed, 961.69s: ma jority against amendment, 21.50o.
 Amendment No. 2 received 7,2S3 fewer favorable votes, and .2,6S7 more votes in opposition than did amend ment No. l.
 For No. 1, 20 counties cast favorable votes and 40 adverse votes. For amendment No ,. IT counties voted affirmatively and 50 in opposition.
 No. 1 was defeated by 1l,59l votes Five north Alabama counties furnished adverse majorities of Ii. 4U2; Dekalb, s,s14; Blount, 2.415; Clay, | 921; Mar shall, 1,Sl3; Jackscn, l,43S; or II east and southeast Alabama counties fur nished adverse majorities of 11,560; Dale, LAOS; Covington, l,2i4; Coffee, 1,224; Geneva, S44; Henry. si0; Hous- ton, 763; Clay, 1921; Lee, 1,069; Gle burne, S35; Coosa, 77s; Randolph, 666
 UNPRECEDENTED
 The unprecedented adverse vote in these two sections as compared with the vote in those counties whom for two years campaign of informal ton has been continuously carried on clearly indicates that tho voters did not understand the purpose and effects of these amendments, and they must have brought to them the facts as we now know them to be.
 The votes on No. 1, which arc hard to explain or understand, arc Etowah majority against, 609; Lauderdale, against. 2ss; Tuscaloosa, for, only SAP; Morgan. against, 200 All river coun- ties and precincts were informed
 The 5000 favorable votes for No. 1. which did note vote as to No. 2, clear Fly shows the good effects of the edu- cational campaign for No. 1 and that No. was unknown or not understood by them. Could No. 1 have reached fully the understanding of only 5000 more out of the total state vote of some 175,00o, it would have been a:- cepted instead of rejected. Most oi the work has been done, but the little balance unfinished spells failure, com pleted. success.
 We must finish it," said Mir Nes- bitt. and to do this must take up the work where we stopped November 1, 1920"

INLAND WATERWAY
 CONVENTION MEET
 PREPARATIONS ON
Birmingham to Entertain Off, ficiaIs From Many States at Gathering Here Dec. 4.
 Movement for Canal

The meeting of the Atlantic Mississippi Canal association, which will be held in Birming- ham Dec. 4 at the Chamber of Commerce, will attract num- bers of prominent southern state officials and those of the great waterway and drainage associations.
 Among the officials expected to at tend are the governors. of Georgia and Alabama. Former Congressman c. c. Brantley, president of the association, and the secretary treasurer, c. c. Thomas of waycross, Ga.
 Among others who have been invited and urged to attend are the two sena- tors from Alabama, the 10 congress- men from this state. members of the Alabama Drainage association and req resentatives of the Port of Birmingham corporation and the Alabama Water way association.
 ORGANIZATIONS
 The Mississippi Valley Waterways association, the National Drainage con- gress and the National Rivers and Har- bors congress will also be asked to send delegations, and it is confidently be- lieved that they will do so. The Cham Der of Commerce and Port of Birming- ham officials will act as host to the visitors.
 One of the objects of the meeting is to organize an Alabama branch of the Atlantic Mississippi Canal association by electing an Alabama vice president bers for this state.
 The general purpose of the various state energies and those of the asso- citation at large is to bring pressure to bear on the congressional representa- lives of the states interested in the canal scheme so that they, in turn, will have Congress vote new survey of the proposed canal and advance the prof ect that much.
 The Mississippi Valley association, it is known, will back the canal project. This association represents states that have more than majority of the Con SreSS, Wnlcn means that unGer a united front the required legislat tion can be secured.
 THE ROUTE
 The proposed canal will cut across Florida from Jacksonville west, us- ing Florida waterways and lakes as much as possible along the route, and terminate at deepwater on the western coast of Florida. With this connection between the Atlantic and the gulf, the long trip around the Florida capes and the delay which that means will be avoided.
 The entire Mississippi basin will reap the benefit of the closer connection Alabama occupies a particularly strong strategic position in the project on ac- count of it's connection with the gulf at Mobile via the Warrior and the Ala bama river systems.
