CHAPTER Vll--Continued.

$50 you see" he wound up, there's
nothing to it but a bull market.
Therell be a big rebound just as sure
as we're sitting here. SymingtOn Otis

bull again, now he's wallOped the
man he went after and you know
what that Means. He'll send wheat
up like a ballOOn-he'S strong enough
to do It, All we need do is to climb
into the basket and participate in the
grand ascension"
"As you have wisely pointed out,
Hunt" began Fit2hugh, turniE the
fragile stem of his wine glass between
his long fingers, 1--WE had better step
cautiously at firSt-SOrt of feel our
way. There's never any tellihg what
pitfalls may lurk below tranquil wa
ters. Afterward, we'll wade in boldly.
Merely as a starter, I'll give you my
check tomorrow for twenty-five thou
sand. I'm not saying what I'll do after
that"
As they were leaving the club, Fitz
hugh turned to his companion and, as
though suddenly reminded Of some in
cOnseQuentsl thought that had Oc-
Cured to him earlier in the day, said
careleSSly:
"Oh, by the way, Hunt, I'm thinking
of opening a small banking account in
Chicago. | wish you'd introduce me
to your banker"
For once Hunt was mistaken. There
was no boom in December wheat.
True, there was a reaction, for when
the bears removed the pressure the
abnormally tow market began gradu-
ally to assume a natural level. But
winter wheat which Hunt had expect
ed to mount by leaps, dragged slowly,
ascending, to be sure, yet moving little
by little-an eighth or a quarter at
time. once or twice, in some sudden
furry, it even went off half point.
Hunt was very much puzzled,
"There's a screw loose somewhere
he told FtZhugh, after one Of these
uncXpIainable Slumps; "but can't fig
ure out just where
OF late, Fitahugh had been studying
lndcfatigably the hundred and more
different conditions which, directly or
indirectly affect the Chicago wheat
market. He devoted hours TO this,
where another man would have de-
voted minutes, and his brain, so keen,
50 quick to grasp every salient detail
and appraise It's true value, enabled
him to view the present situation with
Il far clearer vision than that Of Hunt,

place is,' he replied, "and, unless I'm
mistaken, It's going TO shake the whole

A. campaign, requests that any work CTS holding cards of Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company employees will not solicnt funds from them at any of the plants or places of business, as 1t is against the rules Of the company. It IS requested that any employe of the company who feels interested in the cam paign may see one of the workers and give their donation to the fund.
 The enthusiasm of the workers is in- tense, and at the Tuesday evening dinner conference the workers reported sub scriptions for the day amounting to $l2Ss5 which brings the total to date from in- dividual subscribers to s5l,9ll. The at tendance banner was won by the third division, of which Gen. J. T. McEniry has charge. Capt. J. l. Reeder of Company D, Third division, won the banner on subscriptions.
 The teams of Capt. Lacey Edmundson, Capt. T. c. Johnston and Capt. N. B. Parker were specially mentioned at the Tuesday meeting as having contributed 100 per cent The division subscript LoA' for Tuesday were as follows: Divlston No. l. SEES; Division No. ?, $l92O; Dl- vision No. 3, S3600 Division No. i, $lZ50; flying squadron, S2746.
 The interest in the campaign is grow ing with each days canvass, and will continue for the remainder of the week. More than half of the amount has been raised during the first two days of the campaign without the aid of the corpora tions which is expected to be of great assistance in raising the funds for the building and thel workers are much en- couraged.

CANVASS OF CENSUS

The Board of Trade has made arrange ments toN follow up the work of the census enumerators to see that the city has been thoroughly canvassed by ihs workers. At meeting held Tuesday at J. B. Mortons office a committee was appointed to have some member in each block ascertain if the census of the peo- pie living in that block was taken. In this way it will be found if any person or family was missed in the taking of the census.
 There has been little complaint here of the canvass of the enumerators, and the action taken by the Board of Trade IS just to insure complete list of the res idents of fhe city, as this is of vital i'm portance to the business interest of the city

INCREASE OF SALARY

At meeting of the library board Tues day afternoon it was decided to raise the salary of the librarian, -giving her an in crease of si0 per month This action will meet with the approval of the entire community, as the present ibrarian Mrs. w. T. Warlick. Is proving ner e1- flciency and interest in her work by her attention and splendid service given the patrons of the library.
 A letter requesting that the library be opened on Sundays, and in the evenings until 10 O clock was read before the d1- rectors, but on account of not being able to support an assistant librarisn. arrange ments cannot be made for having the li- brary opened during these hours. The library is supported by an approprla ton from the city, which does not admit or the purchase of many books during the year after the running expenses ot the library is paid, and no provision can De made as yet for opening the library on Sundays and in the evenings.

For the Good of
 the Community

ONE of the prominent business men of O Birmingham was heard to remark day or two ago that he had not voted for several years and that until better men were elected to office he did not intend to vote again.
 ' He is the kind of man that is responsi- kble for the election of undesirable men to Eoffice. He has no ground for complaining Eff officeholders are inefficient, indifferent Etc the public interests, or even crooks. He thas made no attempt to keep them out. bHe is getting just what he deserves. \ The registrar for Jefferson county states that over 1000 men have registered since he opened the books about Decem- Der l. Prior to that time there were some thing like 18,000 registered. Possibly 1500 of the 18,000 have died or moved away The net gain in registration up to date, then, is approximately $500 to 5000 or total of about 24,000 registered voters in the county. The white population of Jefferson county is close to 180,000 and on the usual basis of one voter to every five persons there should be at least 3O,000 white voters registered in this county. This being an industrial commun- ity, with large per cent of young men or men under middle age, the proportion of voters probably is larger.
 Certain organizations in the county have given instructions to their members to register and pay poll taxes 100 per cent strong, and the orders are being obeyed. Representatives of these organizations are daily checking the registration and poll tax records and comparing them with the membership records of the re- spective organizations. When the registra- tion books close short time hence the members of these organizations will be registered 100 per cent, as those failing to register will be automatically dropped from membership
 The reason for this action on the part of these organizations is easily under stood They are not to be condemned for adopting such rule Every man entitled to the ballot should vote in every election.
 Were the heads of the mercantile estab- lshments, manufacturing establishments and mining operators to put similar rule into effect it would be good thing for the community Not only should every man be required to register, but he should be compelled to vote, or forfeit his citizen ship Compulsory registration and com- pulsory voting are entirely different propositions from orders to vote for cer- tain persons or things. Nobody approves of attempts to control elections by con- trolling the votes of employees.
