OPIUM OUTFIT IS
 SEIZED IN RAID.
Trio of Chinamen Charged With Violating Narcotic.
 LaW-0utfit Complete

What is said to be one of the most complete opium smoking outfits ever captured in Birmingham was seized yesterday in the laundry of Sam Leo at 2026 Fifth avenue by W. D. Flu banks and w. M. Dewes of the federal prohibition enforcement department, and Tom Williamson and W. E. De- Groat, city detectives.
 The outfit consisted of lamp, a pipe and a delicate pair of scales used in weighing the drug. There was several hundred dollars worth of opium captured with the outfit. The entire collection was wrapped in a Chinese newspaper and showed that it had been imported from that country.
 Foy Chout, Sam Lee and Yeng Quon were arrested on charge of violating the narcotic law, and Cnout and Lee were placed in the city jail. Quon was allowed liberty to continue rum ming the laundry or promise to ap- pear in court and make bond.

MANY WILL SEEK SMALLER OFFICES Montgomery Editor Thinks the Lists Are Closed for
 Governor

"So far as politics in the state is concerned" said c. F. Johnson, man aging editor of the Montgomery Journal, Thursday night in the lobby of the Tutwiler. there does not seem to be much noise prevailing except in the minor state offices.
 Judge W. W. Brandon of Tusca- loosa has the bulge on the candidas ses for governor, and scarcely anybody else is heard of in that connection. Although some effort has been made to get out opposition to him, up to this date, there has been nobody found in the state who would oppose him.
 State Senator Charles S. Mo- Dowell, Jr.. of Eufaula, is in prac- tically the same boat regarding hrs race for lieutenant governor. Oppo- sition has been heard of in his case, but Senator Mcdowell has been run ming for year. He has many friends in Birmingham. He was the first candidate to announce for a sta;e office in the 1922 democratic pri- mary. Senator Watt Brown of Rag land says he will oppose McDoweil. but has not, so far as know. begun any active campaign as yet
 T think there will be quite a number of candidates for the lesser state offices, like secretary of state. auditor, treasurer, etc. There will be a number of these announcing definitely within a short time, I be- Neve."
 MT. Johnson was here attending a meeting of the executive committee of the Alabama Tax Payers league.

 Helped Make Birmingham
 This subscription marked e memo rial to one of the early developers of Birmingham, who contributed much to the prosperity of the district. while he was making a subs success for himself according to Mir. Ramsay.
 "Mr. Hillhouse, or Uncle Jimmy as he was affectionate1y known to thousands of people in Birmingham and throughout the mineral district, helped make Birmingham what 1t is today" said Mir. Ramsay.

He was held in such high esteem by the people that he held several public offices in Penn sylvania, being tax collector of Shen- andoah county mine examiner of the state, and holding other offices.

He was a director of the North Birmingham bank and actively Identified with many phases of civic, fraternal and religious life of the city.

LUMBER MARKET IS SHOWING STRENGTH
Orders Increase as the Rush Starts to Get Work Done
 Before Winter

Last week was the most active in the southern pine market since 1919. according to the Southern Lumber man. Rushing of building to get ahead of cold weather has also stim- ulated the market. Further, the Lumberman says:
 Business showed a heavy gain over the average volume of the pres ent year and approached closely to the level of normal production. Part of this increase was due to railroad orders, which are now assuming the proportions of market factor. al though the new business was accom- panied by heavier purchases by GUS taws-- heretofore in the market.
 What appears to be a concerted ef- fort in some sections of the country to rush building projects to comple- tion before the advent of cold weather has provided an additional stimulus to retail demand. The scarcity of the better grades continues to srow and is carrying. in it's wake price ad : vances of . slight nature. In gem eraL no change in prices occurred it Is believed that another week or two of heavy business will give the situation changed aspect.
 What appears to be the beginning of . buyers rush to cover require msnts while supplies are available is developing fn the hardwood market. Under the stimuluv of buying on the part of some important wood using industries. tho better grades have recently acquired surprising strength X with their prices showing the same firm tendency. Several orders and numerous inquiries from furniture manufacturers indicate that this in- dustry is rapidly assuming it's old time importance as buyer.s

 Continuation of staunch belief in Birmingham and it's future was marked by the occupation of the new building by Jemison and company and Jemison- Seibels Insurance company yesterday. Robert Jemison, Jr., and II. G, Seibels. heads of the two firms, were firm believers in the future of the district when they launch cd upon their career of develop ment IS years ago.
 Mountain Terrace, Cliff Road and Altamont Road, in the line of high-class residence property, were developed by the Jemison Real Estate and Insurance com pany, now Jemison and company. Central Park is among the mum Der of moderate priced develop ments and the company whicn built Fairfield was organized by Mir. Jemison and his firm. The Ridgely. the Empire and the Chamber of Commerce buildings were constructed under the Jem- ison interests supervision.
 The new building fronts 100 feet on Twenty first street and 50 feet on Third avenue, north, It is constructed of Indiana lime stone. It is now two stories, high with provision for the addition of eight more floors. The archi- lecture of the structure is Italian renaissance, notable for the charm and proportion of it's de- tails. The lobby is finished in Tennessee marble and the entire interior is finished in hardwood.
