November 1920, will conduct prose-
cution Tuesday, with Assistant Solic-
itor Willard Drake.
other cases set for Tuesday are
those of Josh Miller and Sallie Jane

Wednesday Israel Pryor and Ander,
son Lewis charged with murder. and
Jack Smith charged with highway
robbery. viii face trial. W. NJ. Dodd
is scheduled to be tried for murder
on Thursday and Johnnie Emery will
be tried on the same charge Friday.
In that event and inasmuch as the
Tfdewater- Owenton Ensley and South
Ensley all serve practically the same
territory, that the first one will be
abandoned or so changed in traffic
details as to make the line worth
more as a traffic artery than at this
time.
1t is we'll known among those in
terested. that Mr.. Pevear thinks that
the three lines operating west from
Birmingham are too close together
serve a similar territory and that
the expense is double by reason of
the close proximity of the lines: He
also thinks that one line with cars
operated every three or four min
utes could serve the territory with
greater efficiency and with a small
er cost than is the case at this time.
If the Tidewater is discontinued
west from Ensley it is safe to say
that the South Ensley lines from
Ensley to Fairfield will be changed
in many ways which changes will
cause a profound amount of interest
and surprise in the western section
of Birmingham.

need not wait on right of way from
the Birmingham Railway. Light and
Power company. but traffic could be
diverted over this proposed highway
and actually save time getting into
Birmingham from Bessemer. l be-
lieve that inasmuch as many months
maybe year or two delay will re-
suit on account of the absence of the
right of way that the county would
please all concerned and would pro-
vide rare traffic way by simply
paving this small strip running north

sections of the county At least that
is suggestion that we propose to
make to the county authorities for
their action"
