 OPEN MODERN SHOP
Will Devote Special Attention to Rebuilding Electric Mo-
 tors and Generators

S ". Oliver has severed his con nection with the Oliver W alstrum Armature Works and will open a mod ern shop for rebuilding electric motors and generators.
 Mir. Oliver established the first armature works in the Birmingham district back in the days when there were very few electric motors used and feels now that with the large number in use and the attractive con tracts being offered by the power companies, modern -to-date repair shop is very much needed.

DR. GASTON WRITES
 ABOUT CURRY CASE
Thinks Stir About Negro Wom- ans Death Was Case of
 MiSdireCted EmotionaIiSm
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:


 In view of the fact that many columns have been consumed during the last two days dramatizing the Florence Curry case in rainbow-tinted sensationalism and emotionalism, ] request that space be granted for statement of few facts. l I investigated the case. The woman had received attention during the last few weeks of her inevitably fatal illness from Dr U G. Mason, colored physician Dr. Mason is an intelligent and able physician, and never fails to respond to appeals from the needy among his people. Dr. Masons 5 statement was to the effect that the Curry woman had been offered his medical services; that she had not wanted for the necessities of life; that he had realized the hopelessness of her physical situation and had urged her to allow him to have her placed in the almshouse She arrogantly refused to go, and failed in every way to be guided by his instruc- tions. letter from Dr. Mason setting forth the facts would be enlightening.
 Now. it comes to MT. Greely's attention. presume that MT. Greedy is well-mean- ing and sincere man, but his altruistic eagerness misdirected him. It looks to me that there is possibly mouse in the meal in this case of much ado about nothing, and that advantage has been taken of someone. and perhaps of your paper, to create resentment against cer- tain public officials who were elected on q platform of Americanisn.
 I understand that MT. Greedy is humane officer. He undoubtedly knew that it was a case of tuberculosis; yet it is not men, toned that an attempt was made to put the facts before Dr. Eaves' institution, when it is generally known that the Anti Tuberculosis Association is always alert to respond to this type of appeal. The en- tire act was conducted excitedly and fev- erishly.
 MT. Gleely states in Sundays issue of The Age-Herald that 25 cents worth of milk and ice would probably have saved the negro's life had it been given tho day his attention was attracted to the case He knows that this statement is absurd, and that she was hopelessly doomed and moribund the first time he saw her. However, with such abounding faith ir "a jug of milk, loaf of ice and his own innate humaness,' why in the name of sense did he not furnish the magic p cents?
 Tn conclusion, let me call attention to the fact that not single public protest has resulted from the coid- -blooded mur- der Of brave and useful officer on Sat urday night. No long sob story has bee written about it. No brave and faithful little child stood beside singing as Ae labcred in his last stand against death, aId no public or indlviiu.t contribution

has been donated for the detection of the murderer. Yet columns have been con stunned about this Curry situation, when a quiet, unexcited and sane procedure wouli nave gained results. The necessity was not instant Neither would she have died through few hours wait nor have been saved through instant action. Milk and provisions would not have gone astray in wasteful excess, perhaps to other and unworthy negroes And certainly very dangerous element of citizens would not have been led to believe that our institu- tions and officials are neglectful and un- worthy of authority.
 New, Mir. Editor, your paper is useful Birmingham. particularly at this time, needs it's wholesome influence against strife. contention and suspicion. Why let a sensatonalist belittle it's dignity and stir suspicion and morbid imagination?

S|NN FE|NERS TRY HIGHWAY HOLD-UPS Masked Men Rob Tourist Cars. Loot Countryside In
 Weapon Search
By Associated Press

Belfast September 19-With twenty automobiles captured from weekend pleasure seekers, Sim Feiners in Mid Tyrone Saturday carried out one of the biggest raids for arms Tn the history of Ireland. Early in the afternoon, when large number of persons were start ing on weekend tours, a body of men armed with revolvers stationed them. selves at the entrance of Gorten Glenns, a favorite drive, and held up all motor cars.
 When twenty machines had been cap tured a gang of 100 masked men entered the cars, the drivers of which, with re- volvers at their heads, were compelled to drive the raiders around the country, visiting houses in search of arms. an unusually large congregation at the night service at the Lyric theatre yes- terday and his reference to the recent results of the miners strike were re- garded as significant.
 The topic was introduced by the pas tor when he referred to seeing borne away a casket containing one of Bir- mingham's best known and most popu lar young men. He was robbed of his life" said pr. Edmonds. and his en- tire congregation knew that he referred to Leon M. Adler who was killed from ambush last week Tn walker county
 "It means from the standpoint of the strikers the strike is lost" he con- tinued. "The cause is associated with violence. Public sentiment will not condone violence and no strike can ever be won without public sentiment behind it.
 There is no tolera tion in the public mind for those who commit violence or for those who countenance it or en- courage it. I do not know MT. Ken namer but l have seen It quoted that he suggested the use of rope in certain emergencies. don't know that he said this. I only know that if he did say it he should be tried for murder"

FARM PRODUCTION REDUCED
Memorial Presented BY Committee of
Farm Organizations.

Neutrality-suspicious. production is be-
ing cut one-third in many sections by
a lack of labor, President Wilson was
told in a memorial presented by a
committee of farm organizations.
Everywhere thousands of farm
houses are idle and many million acres
OF land are lying ~unoccupied," said
the memorial. Lack OF bank credit
and high interest rates are causing
thousands of acres of good pasture
land to go ungrazed. A later shortage
of both beef animals and dairy ami.
mails will be the result.
The wheat crop is reported nearly
300, 1000 900 blu. short and the cold, late
spring seriously has affected the corn
crop. World supplies are short also
and high food priees seem inevitable.
Bread lines and food riots are not be-
yond the possibilities of the next IL
months"
