WORKING FOR FACTORY
MONTGOMERY BUSINESS MEN
MANIFEST MUCH INTEREST.
Committees of Commercial and In
dustrial Association Making
Active Campaign to Secure
Fund for Stove Concern.

The campaign for industries in Mont
gomery is on and the city is being awak-
ened to the splendid opportunity offered
for securing a large stove factory.
The various committees of tho CONNER
cia and Industrial Association are ag-
gressively at work upon the matter. and
the business men are stirring each other
to prompt action The prospect of secur-
ing for Montgomery the permanent loca-
ton of a factory disburslng $4,000 every
year in pay rolls to Its employees and do
ing business of $4oo. COO or more per year,
has awakened an interest and enthusiasm
in many who have shown no interest in
other general movements in years.
Men who are ordinarily Stunned by So
Letting committees have voluntarily come
forward and looked the committee up to
show in their subscription their substan-
tial interest in the matter.
PROPERTY owners and influential citi-
zens agree that this Is just what the city
most needs. Even the women over the
city are showing an interest in the move
ment to bring the factory here. and are
urging the men to aggressive action.
The committees of the Association have
been out on the canvass and the subscrip-
lions are coming in Many. however. have
to consult partners and 1t will be sew
eral days before complete returns can
be made.
The committees will probably have a
preliminary meeting this evening or Mon
day and make a report Of their work.
Several of the committees could not get
out earlier than today. but will make a
canvass at once. They request that all
give the matter consideration before hand
If possible, so that the work may be IA
cilitated.
A list will probably be made up this
evening of all subscribers to date.

and Howard College at East Lake, was
formed in the Montgomery Y. M. c. A.

Atlanta, Ca, and Rev. A. J. Moncrief
of Union Springs.
The representatives of the University
of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, after con-
ference with the promoters of the AS
ISOLATION did not enter the organization
as was expected. Their action was due to
a clause in the Constitution of the Asso-
citation, which prohibits any but under
graduate students entering into the an
nual contests. This clause bars the law
students of the University from speak
ing in the contests and also the graduate
students. The Tuscaloosa representatives
held that this would seriously detraci
from their chances of winning the medal
as over a third Of their student body
are matriculated in the law and graduate
schools.
An amendment to the clause was Of
IeTeu Dy MT. AltO v. LeeI JTs OI llt
University. This amendment provided fol
any bona fide student of the college, with
proper credentials from the President o.
the institution. entering. The amendment
was not accepted by the delegates from
the other colleges.
Mr.. Lee conferred with his fellow-del
egates from the University. the result o.
the conference being the refusal of tn,
University delegates to enter the Asso
citation.
The meeting was held in the Y M. C
A. parlors at noon yesterday. Rev. A

deeply interested in the movement, pre-
sided.

STATE ORATORIAL ASSOCIATION FORMED,
BUT UNIVERSITY MEN DECLINE TO JOIN

rick, A. v. Lee. Jr., @. W. Tucker and
Joseph Mitchell.
Mr.. Moncrief said that the object of
the meeting was to form an oratorical
association of Alabama colleges to fur
Their the study of oratory in this State.
He said that Mr.. w. s. Cox of Atlanta,
had generously offered TO donate a hand
some medal yearly to the association, the
medal to be given the winning orator
in a contest between the Alabama COL
leges.
MIR. Cox also spoke urging the repre-
sentatives of the colleges to interest
themselves in the matter and to make the
association a success.
A constitution was then submitted 10
the delegates. The constitution provides
that an oratorical contest De held annu-
ally, on the third Friday IN April in
either Montgomery or Birmingham.
Montgomery was selected as the first
place of meeting and the young orators
will strive for the Cox medal on that
date in some hall In Montgomery.
The question of entries then arose and
it was then that the University men OBJ
jected to the exclusion of the law stu
dents and the post graduates. The del
egation from Tuscaloosa withdrew from
the meeting after the refusal on the part
of the delegates to amend the constitu-
ton.
constitution and by laws was Their
adopted by the delegates and the fol
lowing officers were elected: President
j. E. D. Young of Auburn; Vice-Presi

COTTON GROWING IN AFRICA.
by Pupils Of Washington's
School

Some time ago a party of four graduates
and one instructor of the Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial Institute was employ
ed by the German Government and sent
to Toga, West Africa. to introduce scienti-
fic cotton raising In that country. The
methods introduced by these young men
were so successful and the results OBJ
tanned so encouraging that Mr.. c. F. A.
Weydig. member of the German Colonial
Department of Agriculture, and Expert
for the United States of America, who has
been stationed by the German Govern
ment in German East Africa, has been
sent to this country and is now at the
Tuskegee Institute for the purpose of
looking into advanced methods of cotton
growing and of securing several young
men to go to Togo and East Africa un-
der the auspices of the German Govern

 Nothing of the sort" said the Boy. "We know better"
 ''The best proof of it is beside you.0 said Her Majesty indicating copy of the Daily Jollier as yet unfolded be- side the Boy's plate "In that paper you will find certain page or pages devoted to women"
 The Boy found highly colored supplement and handed it across the table. Her Majesty opened it with an air of distaste.
 Here" for instance" she said, "is a charming article Sunday morn ing reading: Eleven Ways to Kill Cockroaches. ,"
 "One way would seem to be sui ficient," unused the Boy.
 ''Then comes an illustrated discus sion of methods to rid the complexion of impurities called blackheads.' Ughp'
 Tt is clean literature at all events, reflected the Boy.
 But not elevating, you'll admit, " went on Her Majesty "The Jollier seems to run to the insect world to- day. Here is half a column on the subject of bugs in cereal foods!'
 ''It does sound a bit crawly, that's fact" admitted the Boy.
 ''Then right in the middle of all this positively nauseating matter, are recipes for making luncheon dishes. Can't you see how hideous 1t all is-how exquisitely vulgar? It is mass of unpleasant ideas placed in repulsive association with the sub- iect of food"
 ''Women don't care to read serious stuff," said the Boy; 'sthey like to read about other women's moles and freckles and bleached hair and in- growing eyelids, even if they don't have 'em themselves"
 'We want something better than soup bones, blackheads and bugs all in bouquet" said Her Majesty. 'The men who get out these things have an idea that women have no soul above buttons"
 "Or bugs" said the Boy.
 SIt is quite true we are frivolous we know we are frivolous Men are never frivolous, they are foolish. But they don't know it.
 "Oh, give over! yeoverw said the l Boy.
 "Thousands of copies of this page go out over the country to-day rep resenting American womanhood It is a journalistic insultT'
 Her Majesty seemed almost on the verge of tears The Boy watched her narrowly. '"Tell me-" said he, "when did you begin this serious line of thought. You showed none of these symptoms when I left Daisy hurst last week"
 incethenmy soul has awakened" said Her Majesty, looking deeply into the eyes of the Boy. "The day after you left Hindu lecturer came to the inn and gave one of his wonderful talks on the soul. He was dreamy eyed, tall, silent man and wore a white turban"
 "Ahp said the Boy, interestedly.
 "Well, you know what those Daisy hurst women are. They immediate ly surrounded him with all sorts of silly chatter, and wanted his auto graph and his photograph. He treat ed them as though they were chil- dren."
 'I went out on the piazza. Ididn't care to mix with them atall. had on my blue chiffon gown and white lace hat, and the Majji noticed, he told me afterward, that I wasn't like the others"
 ''What told you% asked the Boy.
 'Majji. That was his name. The others called him MT. Maiji, but he explained to me that was silly. In his own country he was Maharajah or l an A Ahl,onnd OF cnrnnthinn IT,
