 Employeg of the Ensiey works us ing Tidewater cars are much con osrnsd over the report of the plan to abandon the line on Fifth avenue and circle the city of Birmingham by way of tho Avenue c line. There has been no concerted move made here so far but 1t 10 understood that there will be many dispfeased patrons if the plans are carried ort. The lines operating down Fifth avenue to East Lake carry every night and morning hundreds of men employed at tho plants here who will be compelled to loss 15 or 20 more minutes on the cars if the contemplated change Is permitted.
 The business district will not be affected by the proposed change. it Is stated.

 considerable portion of the grand jury report given in the circuit court Thursday evening was devoted to condemnation of public drunkenness and the reckless driving of auto mobiles on the highways. The grand true bills and passed for further consideration Ss cases. In all 204 witnesses were examined.
 In commenting on conditions, the report stated, Our attention has been called to the great amount of driving being committed on our high ways. We would urge. the officers to more earnest effort toward tho suppression of this question. There Is, according to testimony presented to us, a reckless disregard of hu- man life. There is also entirely too much murder committed, and we feel that it is necessary that the petit ju- TOTS punish more of the violators. Most of the crimes are wilful and deliberate, and are largely due to the result of either inebriety or the illegal traffic In intoxicating li- Qucr."

Cotton Letters
HUBBARD BROS. 4 CO.

NEW YORK. Jan. 11.-Liverpool was lower again this morning and reports from Manchester were of continued slack trade. although . somewhat better feeling was thought to exist in that market. Here the market was dull, but sold off slowly on some local pressure and scattered real isina, tpduotsd by the theory that the con- sumption figures on May would show small tazings by the mills during Decem- Der. This may very well prove to be the case. as tho holidays caused quite num- ber of suspensions on the part of Ameri- can mills. thereby reducing the cotton used during the month. The market was quiet but heavy in the afternoon at a decline of 10 to 80 points from yesterday's close. There Is little or no speculative ds- mAnd at the moment and we are not yet close enough to the end of the month for January commitments to act as q sus- tainjng force. Considering all things the market ahows considerable ability to ab- sorb cotton at . comparatively small da- olins. This is due to the scarcity of de- sirab bic cotton this season.
