PLENTY OF ADVISORS.
Citizens of Birmingham Tender Their Services
 to the President.

If composite picture of the war plans in the brains of the citizens of Birmingham could be secured, it would prove of valua- ble assistance to the administration in speedily terminating the war with Spain.
 Almost every person has an opinion just how the war should be conducted, and is free to express it. These opinions have led to consultations and an exchange of views which are entered into with an earn estness worthy of cabinet officer.
 party of gentlemen who board at the Florence hotel very enthusiastic over the war, and watch the events so closely that their associates have dubbed them "The Strategy board" They meet every eevning and discuss the situation thorough ly. Monday evening t was announced that the president had dismissed his board of strategic advisers because of too much politics being mixed in with the war move ments. The Birmingham board immediate- ly sent the following telegram to President Mckinley: We have just learned that you have dispensed with the services of your strategic Lard, and believing that you are in great need of the sound advice we are capable of giving you in this trying hour, we hereby tender our services to last dur ing the entire war with Spain''

THEY HOLD ON
 TENACIOUSLY Delegates to the Tenth Judicial Circuit
 Convention Are Again IN A BITTER DEADLOCK
Looks as if There Is Very Little Prospect
 Of a Break Today.
VOTE IS JUST AS ON FIRST BALLOT
fifiy-Six Ballots Taken Yesterday Making 433 in AIl-Conyent;on Meets at g O'Clock This Morning-Com-
 plimentary Votes.

The judicial convention of the Tenth cir cult resumed it's sessions yesterday morning In the circuit court room, and the fight for the democratic nominee is now as hot as when the convention adjourned in Jasper on April 2S. The convention at that time, after the 9S7th attempt to nominate, gave 1t up and adjourned to meet in Birming- ham on May IT.
 Absolutely nothing was accomplished yes terday. On the 443d ballot, which was taken at half past five o'clock in the afternoon, the vote was exactly the same as 1t was on the first ballot of the convention showing Banks to have 11.53 votes; Coleman, 431 Miller, S.S5; Ward, 12.8l. There are in all 37 votes in the convention, and will there fore require 1851 for a nomination. In sev- eral ballots yesterday afternoon Coleman threw his entire strength to each of the other candidates, but it was a safe compIi- ment to pay, as neither combination amounted to enough to secure a nomination. Any combination between Ward, Banks and Miller would make a majority and on that account they are carefully avoided
 Old Organization Retained
 The convention yesterday morning was called to order by Chairman Charles B. Powell with R. J. Waldrop as secretary Arthur Crowder and L. J. Haley were elect ed assistant secretaries The balloting then began in business-like way. The stereo- typed vote is as follows:
