RAILROAD LINE BEING LOCA TED NEAR BIRMINGHAM Mobile and West Alabama Will Give Florence Short

A BRANCH INTO THIS CITY
President AustiI Has No Doubt About His Ability to Raise the Capital to Build the Road-A Rich
 Country,

The largest and most important rail- road project in Alabama is the line now being located between Mobile and Flor ernee, the title of the company being the Mobile and West Alabama MT H. Aus till the president of the company, Is now in Birmingham for the purpose of meet ing and conferring with engineers of the surveying party. He Is stopping at the Morris
 ''The Mobile and West Alabama was To- cated some years ago under the presi- dency of the late J. T. Milner,'' said MT. Austill, but the route was not direct enough, and the project was abandoned. We arc now locating a much shorter route
 "The line will cross the Warrior just above Tuscaloosa. and it will run only about thirty miles west of Birmingham. It is our purpose to build a branch into this city.
 Importance of Birmingham.
 Birmingham is too important a traffic point to be overlooked. Every road in the South is bound to get to Birmingham soon or late.
 When our engineers complete the new survey there will be no trouble in raising the money to build the road. The capital is already promised. provided the report of the engineers Is what I expect 1t to be. It is safe to say, therefore, that the construction of the Mohtle and West Alabama Is assured.
 The distance from Mobile to Florence by this line will be only about $50 miles. There is line projected northward from Florence, and in the course of a few years this road that our company will build will form part of a new through line from Chicago to the gulf.
 Through Rich Section.
 Tt 'will develop a rich section at pres ent without railroad facilities. It will certainly help Mobile. Tuscaloosa. Bir- rningharn and the mineral region about Florence.
 The construction will not be expen- sive comparatively speaking. on the southern end of the line, but when we get into the northern part of the State some heavy work will have to be done.
 Capital is slow in assisting doubtful schemes, but this railroad is needed and investors will see at once that it's bonds should come under the head of good se- curities The road should be a dividend earner almost from the start"

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
 FOR THE NEW CLUB
BONDS FOR THE ATHLETIC CLUB BUILDING BEING SUBSCRIBED FOR BY MEMBERS AND PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZENS.

Every day the prospects of an early beginning of the work on the new home of the Birmingham Athletic Club grow brighter. The members seem to have taken hold of the movement with vim and they are confidently predicting that the new building will be completed and occupied by the first of next January.
 The plans for the building have al- ready been drawn and accepted. They are handsome and excellently adapted to the purposes and conveniences of an athletic club. From the bowling alleys, Turkish baths and swimming pool on the ground floor, through the parlors, billiard and reading rooms on the second, to the complete gymnasium and spectators gal lery on the third floor, the building will be complete in every respect.
 The club already has it's own lot, it being located on Twentieth street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, next to the new Southern Club which is now in the process of erection. Forty thousand dol lars is the amount the Athletic Club will invest in its new building, not including the lot. Of this amount $25,000 will be raised by first mortgage bonds, and ar engagements have already been made for placing them. The remaining $15,O00 will be raised by second mortgage bonds, and they are now being rapidly subscribed for by members of the club, and other public spirited citizens who are in sym pathy with the movement
 Although the books have been open only a few days. the subscriptions al- ready run up into the thousands, the following being among those who have made the heaviest subscriptions:
 James Bowron, Erskine Ramsay, Alex T. London. Biddle-Warren Company, Henry Badham, A. w. Smith, A. L.. Fullenwider, J. E. Donelson, W. D. Nes- bitt, Walker Percy, J. A. Duckworth, Ro.

A little girl was spending the sum-
mer at a fashionable watering place,
and one morning as she played upon
the veranda of the hotel where her
mother was stopping she heard
lengthy conversation upon the fash
ions of the day and the absolute nee
essity of stylishness in dress if one
hoped to be success in society. One
lady went SO far as to say that styl-
ishness was far more important than
beauty. That night as the child said
her usual prayer she added with great
earnestness, "And, o dear Lord, do
please make me stylish.
