Birmingham Is the magnet which
is drawing not only immigrants from
the old country, but forward-looking
men from the north, east and west,
as we'll as the SOUTH are being at
tracted by It's pulling power.
Nothing strikes the European more
than the adaptability of the average
American, who changes from one
business to another as easily as he
changes his clothes, and what Is
change.
1t is not a cause for surprise, then,
to know that one of Birmingham S
newcomers who is making good in
the automobile game has large farm
ing interests and owns a hosiery
mill turning out yearly quite large
output of stockings for misses and
women.
1T Is true that so far as Bir-
mingham is concerned l am brand

12 months" says A. r. Pryor, presi-
dent of the Pryor Motor company,

to move my family and feel that am

UNIDENTIFIED MAN
IS FOUND DEAD
Muti|ated Body Discovered on
the Southern Tracks Near
Sixty-Fifth Street

The mutilated body of an unidenti-
fled white man, apparently about So
years old, was found on the Southern
railway tracks at the Sixty-third
street crossing yesterday afternoon
at o'clock by PEDESTRIANS, who i'm
mediately notified the police. From
indications it seemed that the body
had not lain there very long before
being discovered. as it was quite
warm and the blood from the sew
cred arm and leg was fresh on the
crossties.
Coroner J. D. Russum was notified
Immediately and after investigating
the tragedy pronounced the death as
accidental.
There were no Identification marks
on the body or in the clothes of the
dead man. A small memorandum
book was found in one of the coat
pockets which contained the names
of several firms in Missouri, Indiana.
New York and Ohio. with numerals
placed beside the names. which po-
where the deceased had worked and
the numerals to be the amount OF
money paid.
From the clews gathered by Coro-
ner Russum it appeared the man
was bound for Florida to work in the
strawberry fields and orange groves.
as the names of many of these firms
and their addresses were found in
the memorandum book.
Early this morning all efforts to-
ward getting the dead man identified
have failed. From general appear

two gold teeth and brown hair. The
color of the eyes were hard to dis

be blue.
The body Is held in the morgue of
the Johns Undertaking company.

100000 Was INFESTED In
Homes This Year Through
Security Savings Company

The Security Savings and Loan
company loaned $4,000 to Birming-
ham householders for the building of
homes in the first 10 months of this
year.
Adding the so per cent of value of
property. on which the loans are
based. it appears that $500 has
been invested in Birmingham homes
through the aid lent by this concern.
Amount loaned this year is less
than last by $4,000. This is not due
to the request for loans, but to the
inability of the company TO care for
all the requests. Building and loan
associations lend only the money
which they take in from investors 1t
