LETTERS TO EDITOR
LETTER FROM SHELBY SHERIFF
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:


 There appeared in the editorial columns of your paper of November 25, 1921 an article headed Outrage near Acton," and signed by J. R. Butler, John Bishop, s. M. Caton, J. F. Hairless, H. B. Howie and J. N. Thompson, and I feel it my duty to advise these gentlemen or any others that might be interested, as to what I learned upon making an investigation the next day after the unfortunate accident near Acton, and will thank you to publish the following:
 On November z, I had information that liquor was going to be hauled out of Shelby county on the night of November ', and sent my depu- ties to investigate and to arrest anyone trans- porting liquor, and upon reaching Acton, or near Acton, Mr. Manderson, had conversation with one of my deputies, (not knowing that he was one of the officers), and advised him that if he had load of liquor he had better watch out as the officers were on the road, and that he, Manderson, had 25 gallons that he was going to carry out just as soon certain car left certain point on the road, (which was the car my two deputies were using and was stationed near the line of Jefferson and Shei- by) and upon this information one of my dep uties drove the car away and the others with flashlights remained on the highway, and when the car MT. Manderson was driving neared the point where my men were, they tried to stop him by Tagging him down with their flashlights, but instead of stopping he opened his car wide open, and endeavored to run into my deputies on the side of the road and with an oath told them to get out of the way, and in cutting his car back into the road, on account of the high rate of speed he was going, it skidded, and the front wheel of his car hit rock in the bank of the side of the road and turned over, and the injured men were sent to the hospital inn emdiately, and the car brought to Columbiana as there was at the time of the accident 25 gall Ions of whisky being transported in this car.
 The road at the place where this accident oc- cured was not blocked with cable and any man with ordinary Judgment that it would be physical impossibility to fasten a cable across the highway there, upon making an investigation, and the idle talk of cable being across the highway is that of those who are in sympathy with, or interested in the ille- gal traffic of liquor in this county, or those that are so anxious to criticise that they cannot wait to find out facts, but jump at conclusions, and draw upon their imaginations to the injury and detriment of others, though they are inno- cent of any criminal act, or criminal intention.
 am very sorry thls unfortunate accident ac- cident happened, and MT. Manderson lost his life, but after making an investigation I satisfied his death was due to his own act and not my deputies, and therefore have not pre- ferred any charges, but the courts are open to every one, and have tried to do my duty as an officer, and will continue to do so, as long as am sheriff of this county.

HIGHLANDS METHODIST CHIMES
 A COMMUNITY GIFT

Chimes will ring out sonorously on Christmas morning from the belfry of the Highlands , Methodist church and thereafter summon Sab bath worshipers to their various shrines.
 The donor of the 1000 with which to pur- chase the bells withholds his name. That Christian and Jew, white and black, may draw inspiration from their deep toned melody is enough for him. The gift is not one to the church alone, but to all Birmingham.
 To the sick who cannot go to church the bells will be worshiping companionship. They will revive tired minds whose past week of work has brought only worry for another week of toll.
 These chimes and the belfry are part of the Highlands Methodist church, but they will also be part of the community. They will be a constant reminder that good deed done any where has wide influence.

RATTLEsNAKEs AS DELEGATES
from the New York Herald.

At the coming meeting in Newark of the
 Study society of America it is uncer~ stood that Asa Pittman the distinguished rat tlesnake hunter of the Jersey pines, will pre- sent interesting data.
 In proof he will be, personally accompanied at the meeting by number of Jersey rattle snakes, which, he ventures to assert, he will match for ill temper and equipment for vic- iousness of attack against anything the conti- nent can produce.

ALBANY VOTES BOND MONEY
 FOR SCHOOLS

Albany, in Morgan county, made another step forward when its citizens passed by large, majority s2oo,ooo school bond issue, three mill school tax and debt refunding measure.
 The first duty of men and women is to chil- dren. The most important feature of child training is education. A citys progressiveness is most accurately guaged by the schools which it maintains, the length of the school terms and the salaries paid teachers. A community which fails to provide for the education of its children is paving the way for it's decadence.
 The average tax burden in southern cities is not large compared with that in the east and vest It is equally true that cities cannot do big things without the revenue raised by taxa tion.
 What is done with money after 1t is raised should occupy the attention of citizens. Inter- est in public affairs between elections and dui- ing administrations assures the best results to be derived from taxes.

BIRMINGHAM INVESTING
 IN THE TRI-CITIES


 That Birmingham is interested in the de- velopment at Muscle Shoals has been shown during the past several weeks, and particularly during the past ten days, by purchases of prop erty made in Sheffield and Florence by citi- zens of Birmingham.
 Numerous lots in Sheffield have been bought outright and the same is true of Florence. Two Birmingham citizens with an eye to the future have acquired the celebrated Bailey Springs property near Florence.
 From what can be gathered here, the invest ments have been made on a conservative ba- sis. Birmingham business men possess the av- craze shrewdness that sound business men everywhere credited with. Their invest ments in the Muscle Shoals cities reflects the importance which they attach to the develop ment of that project.
 The south at large is genuinely interested in Muscle Shoals. Texas delegates to the American Cotton association held here recently ;so far as Muscle Shoals is concerned and is pulling for it with commendable display of team work.
 Curator Ditmar is welcome to whatever he earns by doctoring cobras and wrestling with pythons It's no job for a drinking man. Hugo Shines is the "strong man" of Ger many. He can, therefore, afford to be careless about his clothes
 The "commoner" who is going to marry Princess Mary says he's fortunate. In one respect, at any rate. The Princess is a first rate cook.
 Japan regards the islands of the Pacific as stepping stones to greater things.

 When animosities flare up in the arms con ference they cause quick reactions back home. The real New Yorker, says veracious cores pondent, wears dinner jacket at night. Well we'll, We had an idea he wore a cap and sweater, and talked out of one corner of his mouth.

  This impression could not be corrected by read ing American newspapers.
 Now, who could have scattered human teeth about the justly famed villa of the French "Bluebeard?"
 Atlanta resents the charge that President Harding hissed a1d booed there. His re- ception, on the contrary, was what Bert Lesion Taylor would have described as southern and congenial."
 The movie actor who presented delegates to the arms conference with pistols might as well fire his press agent right now. He doesn't need a functionary of that sort.
 i. A publicist cannot ask more embarrassing question than, What became of those prison sentences promised to profiteers?"
 Secretary Hughes believes in hewing to the line, let the ships fall where they may.
 
 An Englishman who writes about America says Americans debased themselves to get whis- ky they do not want. They may debase them selves but the latter part of his statement is at least open to argument. If Russia and China should get together, poor old Britain would have something else to worry about
 The young woman who was for time Mrs. Charley Chaplin, is now wearing promise ring. Further details will be published from time to time.
 Balfour says he remained bachelor because he preferred career of his own. The sea- son is now approaching when the right sort of bachelor gets lonesome.

THE WEALTH OF JUGosLAvIA

Pierre De Lanux in the North American Re-
 view.
 Above all, Jugoslavia is peasant nation, with great number of small estates, especially in Serbia. About AZ per cent, of the land is cultivated, with wheat and corn for the larger part, 15 per cent is pasture and about 30 per cent is covered with forests. In Bosnia, 60 per cent is forest land. The mineral wealth is richer in promise than in actual output.

FINDS HOUSE SHORTAGE

'It looks like Methodist preacher raised in the itinerancy ought to be used to moving" says pr. s. L. Dobbs, for four years presiding elder of the Birmingham district, and more re- gently pastor of the Owenton church, "but hay ing been appointed secretary of the board of education of the North Alabama conference at its last session I had to give up the parsonage and am now securing Birmingham for a home l have secured an office at 516 Twenty second street, north, but yet have been unable to secure residence. I am in position to know that there is shortage of houses in Birming- ham,"

GADSDEN IS TO HAVE A TRAFFIC BUREAU

The decision of the Gadsden Chamber of Commerce to establish a traffic bureau in conjunction with the chamber follows up-to-date practice in other progressive cities.
 Large industrial concerns have their own traffic departments in charge of experts and maintained at high cost.
 What the traffic departments of corpora tions do for them the traffic bureaus of cities do for the average shipper unable to main- tain traffic department
 In one item alone the Birmingham Traffic bureau has saved the members $500, 900 in four years. This amount of money was collected from railroad and express carriers for over charge, loss in transit and the like and turned over to the members.
 Gadsden merchants can make no investment superior to the establishment and maintenance of live traffic bureau.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
CLUB IS AppREc1ATrYE

"The Civitan Club is grateful to the other civic organizations in getting behind the in- vitation we have extended to Henery Ford and Thomas Edison to visit Birmingham when they visit Muscle Shoals" says Reid Lawson president of the Birmingham Civitan club.
 "The energy shown by The Age-Herald is also appreciated, as the matter has been favor able mentioned by editorials and front page stories
 "When action was first taken there was no doubt in minds but that all of Birmingham would be behind the movement, and that CO., operation would come from other luncheon clubs and civic organizations.
 Tt is the hope that the action taken will have definite results. The original Civitan committee will go to Wilson Dam at the time the Ford-Edson party is there and it looks like the committee will be augmented by dele gates from other clubs We will at least have their cooperation, aid and moral support.
 Sidney Bowie, the chairman of the Civitan committee expects to have an active meeting today. He showed his executive ability during the Semi-Centennial and also proved himself a fine person on reception committee when President Harding was here"

WHY CALLED GREEN SPRINGS

George Mccullough who lives within 200 yards of the spring in Green Springs park known by that name, said: Green Springs park was so called because the forbears of the late Judge Samuel E. Green resided close by.' V was on the old stage line and Judge Greens father lived near the spring and conducted hotel there That is why we called it Green Springs and that is why the park property on which it is situated Is known as Green Springs park
 "The, old house was torn down and few know the site, but it was great place at one time. The Green Springs park acreage is a magnificent piece of property and it was a grand day for Birmingham when former mayor George B. Ward bought it for the city,"
