ACCIDENTAL, VERDICT RETURNED BY RUSSUM| ON D0L0MITE AFFAIR."

The Dolomite mine disaster. No vember 22, was "accidentai,' accord ing to verdict rendered by Coroner J. D. Russum Thursday morning when he completed the investigation into the deaths of the S9 miners killed.
 T have studied the testimony of the witnesses very carefully said Coroner Russum. and l find that all have been practically the same. and the responsibility cannot be placed on any individual.
 The witnesses examined at the in- vestigation were: C. II. Nesbitt state mine inspector; Mr. Hillman, com pany mine inspector: sam Jarvis, fire boss: w. NJ. Johnson, F. Dean tlpple house foreman; Lige Elliott A. D. Jones. Will Phillips, MT. Johnson, John Q. Jones, E. J. Pitts and J. D. Shell.
 The explosion. according to Coro- ner Russum. was the result of mine cars being caught while unl1 ading on the top of the tipple. While an at tempt was being made to adjust them. they broke loose and ran into the mine where they were wrecked. A wheel fire m one of the cars was broken off and hit table containing three electric wires with such force that it ignited the scoal dust, which instantly exploded.
 One Lf the greatest demonstrations of rescue work in the south was ef- fected at. this time by the Wood ward Iron company. according to ex- fperts in rescue work.

INCOMING MAIL RUSH SWAMPS P0ST0FFICE. AS MAILING SLOWS UP

Activity channels at the Birming- ham post office were reverse Thursday when many extra employees were shifted from the mailing de- partment to the delivery department. Outgoing mail registered a heavy de- crease and incoming mail required the attention of every available em- ploye.
 The first three days of the week hung up a record in the number of parcels mailed during that length of time at the Birmingham office. One hundred additional workers werA installed to expedite the mail service. For time it appeared that this num- Der would have to be increased, but outgoing mail decreased 20 per cent Thursday, according to estimates made by Postmaster R. B. Smyer. This enabled officials to devote ade- quate attention to delivering the heavy mail that is coming to resi- dents of Birmingham.
 Postmaster Smyer stated that most of the parcels mailed Thursday had destinations within 8 radius of 210 miles from Birmingham. Parcels go- ing to states that do not border on Alabama were mailed before Thurs day if they are to reach their des- tination on the safe side of Christ mas day.
 Post office officials say that the Shop Early, Mail Early campaigns have borne fruit, and that this year experienced record in the number of parcels mailed more than a week before the holidays.

IS TURK A TURK?
Question Has Never Been Sat-
isfactorily Answered.
But Whether American or Asiatie, No
Cne Has Ever Denied Its
Delectable Flavor.

"The Mystery of the Turkey" has
been agitatlng Paris. learned Arab
AL Antaki-has discovered in An
cieDt Arabic books written long before
the discovery of America a descrip-
tion of what he thinks must be the
modern -bird-and the old author
found it in fact in Asia Minor. which
the Turks of his religion had ssready
conquered. Such piece of news goes
along we'll with the conquering of
what we used to call Turkey by Mus
tapha Kemal and, If it were true, he
would be warranted in taking our tur-
key for his own Thanksgiving en-
blem
French naturalists have started up
at once and give the reasons. which
they say are imperative, why the tur-
key bird Is genuine American, in the
woods when Columbus came and in
the Puritan Pilgrims pot. No for.
eigners need apply-and, as for the
enigma of the name turkey" what's
In name, anyway? That can be ex-
planned, and SO can what the old Arab
said.
This is the sum of the French ar
sument. The very type of all turkeys
is found in Honduras and was fully
described in all his glory-speckled,
with eye spots small, but bright, al
most as those Of the peacock's plu-
mage. with deep-sea blue head and
orange-red dewlaps-35 years after
Columbus first glimpsed America.
Now, the Arab of the Turkish con-
quest uses good deal of literature
to describe what may easily be only
a guinea hen. And he is the only
traveller or writer who ever used Ian
guage that could be even remotely
applied to our American bird until
the turkey had become a domestic
fcwl in Europe, after being brought
over from America as curiosity. The
! misfortune was that somehow the Eng
lish baptized him turkey" They got
hold of him very early, with their
usual love of good eating Perhaps
he was brought over by Cabot, In
which case he would have been one of
our United States or Canadian tur-
Keys, but more likely some buccaneer
brought him back from Panama, where
the christians" were breeding him
as a domestic fowl even before Span.
fsh Oviedo described him SO scien-
| tifically.
Point Made by the French,

says Oviedo. to distinguish him from
other birds of this wonderful world
| that resemble him In other ways-
but, he hastens to add. "his tail is not
as beautiful as that Of our Spanish
