BRIGHT VIADUCT OUTLOOK

The city is congratulated on the favorable turn of negotiations with the railroads look ing to the carrying out of the viaduct pro gram. The "Frisco"-system has already presented it's plan for the removal of yards in preparation for the viaduct construction affecting it's own lines. Other roads have asked for more time, but there is no especial reason why more time should be given The preliminary operations will consume time, and that should give all the leeway needed. The public interest has been very patient in this matter, but public interest and the business of Birmingham have begun to suf- fer from the traffic impediments imposed by the grade crossings and the freight activity. The convenience of the railroads cannot ee permitted to take precedence over the mu- nicipal welfare. The railroads can finance the program as well now as at any time The count of traffic passing over the cross ings concerned is significant and large, but the history of similar situations elsewhere shows that this traffic will be promptly and considerably augmented just as soon as the viaducts are in operation. Therefore, the necessity for the construction is based no. only upon present traffic, but also upon the traffic that is awaiting the improvement Let the other roads follow the example of the Frisco" for the increased business that will result for Birmingham will mean also increased business for the roads, Besides the railroads owe public obligation by req son of their franchises.

Progress in Alabama

From the TalIadega Home.
 The most tangible and best news is that Alabama furnaces are gong and making new records in pro- duction. This means active labor and profitable capital The same may be said of the cotton mills, most of which are going on double shifts. This means Alabama is los ing no money. as the trader said, when he bought at one dollar and sold for two.

From the Gadsden Times-News.
 The needs of Alabama for bet. ter educational system and more and better facilities are great and Governor Brandon, friend of ed- ucation, at the head of the helm in Montgomery, it is reasonable to suppose that any fair and well ad- vanced proposition for the better ment of this cause will meet with hearty approval from him.

Wiregrass Wants Settlers

From the Samson Ledger.
 Residents of the Samson territo- ry and the wiregrass generally have long known that the soil and eli mate, moisture and temperature, were all admirably adapted to rais- ing bumper crops of almost every known food product and cotton as well. But other people did not know this. The residents of the frozen north thoueht there was nothing in the way of soil. They could not conceive of latitude where roses bloomed in December and the inhabitants ate tomatoes and English peas out of their gar dens in the same month, and yet, where the torrid sun of July and August, beating down in higher and more northerly sections, burned and prostrated it's hundreds, in south Alabama shed invigorating yet tenn perate heat ,beneficent alike to man, beast and growing crops. We didn't tell them about our advant- ages. And that is where we made mistake, for a man must hold his mouth open long time before roast pigeon flies in it. Lately, we Samsonians have gotten over this complacent attitude of satisfaction with the world and are going out after desirable settlers.
