he says, are accepting wage reduc'
tions of as much as 1913 per cent IN
order to enable manufacturers TO Turn

Birmingham boys are always where the spotlight shines brightest. And the word, shine" has peculiar significance in this instance, because the barrels. weapons and other paraphernalia oc- cupying the center of this picture are important props in the setting of a real moonshine still. with government sleuths and sinners in the cast
 Birmingham is represented by one of the leading actors, the third man from the left, with his high powered rifle at carry. He is J. E. Cox. deputy Unit ed States marshal in charge of the Tampa office for the southern district of Florida, and formerly well known in this city.
 Next to Cox stands Maj. F. M. Will Hams, cited fourth among American heroes of the World war. and who now is chief of the prohibition enforce ment officers in the land of flowers and sunshine.
 Cox and Williams are both expert trailers in still hunting" of sort which even Col. Tom Ashford, per sonal friend of Cox, never owned a dog who could wind covey of birds with the certainty that the former Birmingham boy can wind still. Cox is dead shot and bears the reputation of being one of the coolest men in the service, while Williams was one of Buffalo Bills proteges--so in such swamp battles as have been waged around Florida stills, hidden in dense swamps and glades. the governme ent men have always added to the notches on their guns after the smoke cleared

.UPBOUND FREIGHT SLOWLY INCREASING
Federal Agent to Solicit Up- bound Freight on the
 Warrior River

A solicitor to see business men ,.of Birmingham and sur rounding territory will be ap- pointed by the federal govern ment to come to this section and solicit upbound freight on the Warrior river.
 The appointment is being considered and will be announced before long, ac- cording; to NAV Guice of the local War or-Mississippi waterways office.
 The amount of freight coming up the river from New Orleans Mobile and points south Sis increasing slowly al- though Birmingham business men are still not taking advantage of the cut in freight rates as they might and as the business men in Atlanta and other near by cities are doing.'' said Mir. Guice. Local people must become educated to the fact that 50 is saved on every $l0o paid in shipping freight over the Warrior river.
 .'We sent out circular letters in Bir- mingham, Atlanta and other surrounding cities soliciting business and the response that we got from Birmingham was com- paratively meager. However, there has been very creditable increase during the past few weeks. especially since the case was laid before the wholesale groc- CTS of Birmingham by Manager DeBar- deieben."
 Local merchants are beginning to take advantage of the river facilities. The number is increasing slowly though steadily"

SMALLPOX CASES
 ARE INCREASING
Vaccination Only Preventative Declare Health Officers.
 Epidemic Threatened

Fifty-three cases of smallpox have de- veloped in Jefferson county and Ss of these are located in Bessemer, according to the weekly health report issued yes- terday by pr J. D. Bowling
 "Itgis reasonable to suppose. in view of the number of cases now in the county, that the people are facing an epidemic of this unnecessary and wholly prevent able disease" said Dr. Bowling. Sue cessful vaccination is the only practicable preventive. since isolation and other measures have proven practically useless in preventing the spread of the disease. It is up to every individual In the county to seek this method of protection at once.
 Unless people dc hasten to be vacci- mated it will be unreasonable for them to expect the health department to check smallpox epidemic" "
 It is interesting to note that the health report for the week just past shows only one case of pulmonary tuberculosis re- ported in the whole county. That case was reported in Birmingham. There are iG cases of scarlet fever and ten of spinal menenaitis in the county at this time. In all, l06 cases of preventa ble diseases were reported. with 19 deaths from these diseases.
 During the week there were 6l deaths in the county. g among the white and 29 among the negro population. Seven of the deaths recorded were caused by violence, either accidental or homicidal. There were two suicides and no automo- bile accidents.

INCREASE OF HALF A
 MILLION SHOWN BY
 ALA. HOME REPORTS

In speaking of the report of the &C., tuary who prepared the state and gov ernment reports for the Alabama Home companies for 1920, W. V. M. Robertson, Jr, said: The 1920 report sshows that the Alabama Home companies have grown $500000 for the year past
 '"The Alabama Home company differs from the majority of other companies in being one in which the people have an interest themselves, and one in which the money of one citizen goes to help a feIow-ci(izen and his own com munity in general. The lenders in this company are the people. and therefore the financing of these many homes is done by people who are interested other than merely in the collection of the interest and the safety of the debt. Thus in 1920, according to the report $500.GO0 was loaned by citizens of Bir-. mingham to other citizens"

The picture shows a still in which I the officers found 1.700 gallons of | buck and 210 gallons of real moon shine, testing 110 proof. It was IA
 miles from Tampa, and almost indis- cernible to the naked eye at 75 yards. The captured mountaineers shown on | the right side made no fight when they recognized Marshal Cox's voice in the command, Hands up"
 They were heavily armed, and had made their boasts that no government agents would ever capture them, but the name of Cox and Williams as 1 sharpshooters has become so well known in connection with no-miss shooting that the sinners quit without firing shot. A day book taken from the person of one of the sinners revealed the fact that from Septem- Der 15 to December 23 they had dis posed of moonshine in the sum of $5,- S40.5o. thereby depriving the United States of approximately $700 revenue. When the fact is taken into considera- tion that this sum represents revenue from only one still and that there are l many. many others scattered through out the country, which, on account of the inadequate force of revenue offi- cers, cannot be located, it can readily be seen that the amount of revenue fraudulently withheld from the coffers of the United States government is enormous
