 even more efficient. more courteous and even speedier service than we had before. I wantNyou all to bear this in mind and stand solidly with me to carry out this promise
 T know you are competent so there is only one thing left to ask, and that is that you never lose sight of the fact that you are servants of the people, and that you should show as much courtesy and respect to the 5lowliest citizen who comes in this office for information or service as you show me, the man who employs you. l am a servantNo the people and you are working at my will; therefore we are all their servants and should treat them as we would any other master
 There has probably been times during our relation for the past four years when l felt that some one of you were lax in your duties, or other were derelict; there has probably been times when you have felt that have been unreasonably strict or have been unfair.
 This feeling is bound to creep out where two or more people are thrown in constant contact from year in to year 6ut but I want to say right now that have never spoken harsh word to anyone of you or criticised you while excited, that has not later on given me much more hurt or pain than it gave you.
 "I am human and the time will probably come during our next four years when 1 will appear to be un- just or critical. but l want you to I.x &t.z -t.t in my mind (when the heat dies public we are serving. and next yours.
 q want my wife and children to know when I step down and out or public life that l have made a rec ord that they can point to in years to come with pride; but more than that 1 want to be able to leave this office and have every man who has worked with me say that Jim flaw kins was my boss for eight years, and the best I can say for him is that he is the best man I ever worked for.
 If any of you at any time feel that you have any grievance, l want you to come to me with it, instead of following it to shoulder in your breast and grow into what may cause trouble between us later. 1 VIII al- ways appreciate any suggestions that yoii may have to, make that might improve the office.
 "After it is all said, I want you to feel that I am your friend and am interested in your welfare; that I crave your love and respect but damn your fear. I don't want any man working for me who has to fear me"

Noting Day Here Again
 With Pangs And Worries

things the first day In port is some- thing that comes once in every life time.
 Relation of personal experiences, such as the above, bring back rec elections to every mind of chronic movers. Before the day is out there will no doubt be many murmurs of envy which will be finally succeeded by growls of disbelief.
 Our office boy has come to bat with an excellent suggestion, in view of Birmingham reported condition of overflowing with homebrew and other .hard and strong" drinks. He advises us to deliver this message to every mover--treat our furniture to good stiff breaker of hootch and it will do it's own moving. Correct draughts must be guaged by the person directing the operation, for he assumed no responsibility for damage caused by overlooking.
 Home made power may be gen. erated by the introduction of a raisin and small quantity of grape juice. Association for few hours will cre- ate an agency strong enough to move the heaviest grand piano ever as sembled from wire, wood, varnish and ivory keys.
 Luck to you in moving, is our sin. cere wish, but-there is no such ani- mule!

Husbands and housewives of Br- mingham;
 With the citizenry of this muni- cipality we have today October l, the nemesis of all good folks who must move every twelve month. This IS a date of fearsome import with tragedy lurking ever present around the cor her.
 It may be a broken pier glass or an ordinary shaving mirror. The re- suit is just the same--seven years bad luck, in the opinion of all vet most trusted friend in the way of chair, table or chiffonier may lose leg during the trying ordeal. Cas- ualties happen at least suspected mo- ments.
 Glad to report. moving was com pleted at our house two days ahead of time. The jnx was eluded in this way. Ill luck operates with special force when the movees are apartment dwellers. Even more so when this happens to be a bachelor type or model,
 When furniture for the apartment began struggling up the elevator and waited until we could see it--hav-
  hour-a perplexing problem loomed large in our minds. Where was all this horde of living and sleeping utensils to bep laced
 our CO -movee hit upon the novel plan of trying to settle the matter through the use of algebra Letting the bed equal "x' and the dressing table be represented by proxy des- ignated as '?'y2," he updertook to place them in the room. A tapestry divan rose up suddenly and smote him directly between the eyebrow hiatus, however, causing an abrupt evacuation of the position in which he had entrenched.
 Our knowledge of geometry being second to that of old Euclid alone, the Pythagorean theorem and several rhomboids were paraded before the furniture to see if there were any signs of recognition. When the va rious and sundry articles were placed on the awesome diagram laid cut, the room had assumed the shape or trapezoid Our work ended abrupt ly
 Most efficient is Betty, our maid- She is also most practical, although her knowledge of geometry and all zebra are limited. Suffice 1t to say however. that Betty arranged all the articles of domestic usage in ship shape array, with the sole inspiratioh of a tip. Old Archimedes. and even King solomon, must have turned over with envy For be it known that establishment of the right order or

Roy Dillon, elected tax assessor of Jefferson county at tie general cleo tion held in November, 1920, viii take charge of the office today. He sue ceeds D. E. McLendon, who has held the office for. the past eight years.
 At the same time James F. Flaw kins tax collector of Jefferson coun- ty, will begin his new term of four years to which he was reelected at the last election. The heads of these two offices under the law do not as- sume their duties until nearly a year after they are elected, instead of go- ing into office with other county em- ployes.
 This is on account of the fact that the tax Year begins each October 1 and the beginning of the term of of flee for these positions is timed to coincide with the beginning of the tax year in order to prevent confusion in the assessment and collection of taxes by change of admins tration.
 MT. Dillon has been connected with the tax assessor for eight years, be-
 ing chief clerk to MT MeLendon.
 The employees of MT. Hawkins were called into his private office yester- day where he made a brief talk to them. He thanked them for the faithful and efficient service they had given during the past adminis- tration, and assured them of his ap- preciation for their efforts. In talk ing to his men MT. Hawkins said
 -Four years ago tomorrow l en- tered upon the duties of this office having been chosen by majority Of the voters of the county over man who had the reputation of being the l,.,I I ever had.
 q realized fully that l had been put in charge of mans job; that had to improve on the record already made if I expected to receive the approval of the voters at any sub sequent election. With this the para mount idea in view, I selected you to assist me in making record that would stand the test,
 We have reached the end of our first term, and I think it proper at this time to express to each and every one of you my sincere appre- ciatior of the faithful service you have rendered. l know and you know that we have put over an ad- ministration that is an improvement over anything of it's kind, and l want you to know that it has not gone un- noticed by either the general pub lie or by me
 we are now entering on out sec ond term and the same spirit that prompted me to give the best there was in me four years ago is still alive, and I want to appeal to every one of you to not only do as well as you have in the past, but oFmake a supreme effort to give even more than we have given.
 During our last political fight as the head of this office I promised the people that we would give them
