idealwayof handling the ques-
ton has never been followed
out and probably never will be.
The Question of electing United
States senators has always been
more or less mixed up in poll
tics in general and the indica-
tons are thai in the coming
campaign the mixture will be
more pronounced than ever
AS far as the visits CON
cerned, and We believe the
majority Of its readers, we
should like to see The re-elec-
ton Of the present United
States senators when their term
expires, and that without any
attempt on the part of any.
political interest to disturb the,
certainty of that outcome.
Unfortunately ,this will pro-.
badly not come to pass: The
great organizing force backing
Mr.. Dunn in his present cam
paign to secure the nomination
for governor on the republican
ticket is ex7congressman Joel
p Heatwole, He was never
yet in politics merely for the.
fun of it, and as far as we know,
his constitution has not radi-
cally changed in the immedi-
ate past. He is intensely in
terested in Mr.. Dunn's cam
paign and is using every effort
and means available in his be-
half. He is at work constantly
almost night and day, and the
expenditure of money is no OBJ
ject. There is no secret as to
the motive for this activity on
Mr. Heatwole's part. It is
.openly asserted in his: home
4 town and country, bya,hisF: clo-
sest friends and co-workers,
that if Dunn is elected COVER
nor of the State of Minnesota
| Joel p. Heatwo1e will be sure
to succeed Moses E. C1app in
the Senate. If perchance there
should be a failure in this
owing to the fact that the pre-
sent state senator holds over
for two years longer, and that
Senator Clapp's term expires
! r ext year. it may be imposz
sible for the. Dunn-Heatwole.

COUNTRY PRODUCE
 IN BRISK DEMAND
ANIMATED SCENES ON MORRIS AvENUE-LARoE SALES YEsTER- DAY, AND THIS WEEK WILL BE RECORD BREAKER.

Produce dealers say the Birmingham people will set sumptuous boards on ] Christmas day.
 A heavy volume of business is being handled on Morris avenue, and the brokers say the week will be record breaker in point of sales. The street presented a scene of hustle and activity yesterday. Produce of every variety was i piled high on either side of the avenue so close that pedestrians found difficulty in making passage. Traffic was greatly impeded in the narrow thorougnfare. The rattle of wagons on the stones, the call of the drivers. and an occasional gobble from the throat of an old turkey alarmed at it's unusual surroundings, and perhaps awed with an ominous presenti- ment of his impending doom, created a lively noise.
 Produce of every description is sold extensively. The market for the staples such as potatoes, cabbage, turnips, is brisk. The Christmas season affects fruits, nuts and poultry more directly, but the entire market feels the enliven- ing influence of Yuletide.
 Apples. bananas, oranges, grapes and cocoanuts are sold in large quantities. Choice apples are in great demand.
 Florida oranges are unusually plentiful this year, and of choice quality. Prices range from $225 to $25O per box. The out-of-town trade for fruits and nuts is remarkably good Birmingham dealers are supplying an extensive surrounding section. Santa Claus uses a lot of fruits and nuts in his rural territory.
 The doctrine of predestination applies directly to turkeys and chickens, and this is the week they must pay the debt and fulfill the purpose wherefor they were incubated and allowed to scratch through the summer Poultry sales will be exceptionally brisk
 Eggs are sold readily at 25c 10 26c per dozen. Fresh eggs and cold storage are both offered.

BOARD OF REVENUE DECIDES TO
 REOPEN BIDS FOR THE CONNECTS
Continued from Fifth Paee)

Continued from Fifth Page)
 ~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~--~--~---o -o---~-~>--o-->-~~-~----- Thursday, December 29, to make new propositions. They are also requested to make bids on the leasing of convicts under the state system.
 Attorneys Talk.
 Lee c. Bradley, attorney for the sloss- Sheffield company said last night:
 Naturally I am pleased at the action of the board in reopening the matter of bids, as 1 believe they did what they thought was for the best interests of the county. As I said before, the action was for the benefit of the county and not for the bidder. It is but natural that the board should desire to receive as much money as possible from the hire of con victs. As to new bid the Sloss com pany will certainly put in another bid. Just what this will be I am not prepared to say. You know the amended bid we submitted today merely guaranteed that we would bid that much, and we are at liberty to bid more if we desire. In other words our bid of today guaranteed the county $25,0Oo more than the bid submitted by the Tennessee company. Our next bid can be that much or more."
 ''E. K. Campbell, attorney for the Pratt Coal and Coke company, said:
 T am not prepared to say what the Pratt company will do in regard to mak- ing new bid. l feel sure, however, that some kind of bid will be made. I think the board acted wisely in deciding to re- open the matter, as it means more money for the county"
 When asked as to why the Pratt company did not make bid under the first advertisement, Mr Campbell said: There was some question in our minds as to whether the board, according to the advertisement, contemplated turning all the conyicts upon a successful bidder within two weeks. If that had been done the Pratt company would not have been prepared to receive them. For this req son the Pratt company was not in posi- tion to make a bid The officers first wanted to understand the proposition We are perfectly satisfied with the turn matters have taken"
 Walker Percy, attorney for the Ten nessee company. said that he had stated his position in the matter to the board and that as the board had acted he did not care to make any further state ment just now.

INCIDENTAL REMARKS:

In announcing the formal opening of the Birming ham home of this, the Worlds Largest Piano Man ufacturers, wish to say just few words regard ing its beauty and elegance. To condense a long story we will say that the whole idea is radical departure from any other piano home in the south, and is by far the most elaborately appointed and beautifully decorated-the decorations alone worth coming miles to Every parlor is of different color scheme and decorative design. When you recall that the decorators have consumed two whole months and half in preparing this home for us you can form an idea of what to expect to see upon visiting. It is impossible to adequately describe 1t here-besides we want you to see for yourself Come
