BANKHEAD THINKS PARTY WILL WIN
GE IS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER HIS CROPS, AND BELIEVES DEMO- ! CRAFTS HAVE BRIGHT PROS
 PEcTs OF VICTORY.

Congressman John H. Bankhead of Fay bite stopped at the Metropolitan last blight enroute to his home from Mont komery. He is spending the summer at bis home and is in excellent health Col bnel Bankhead talks Interestingly of poli- kics but is most eloquent when describing kvhat fine varieties of watermelons and bsnteloupes he has on his farm. In fact he speaks in glowing terms of all his props.
 T believe that the democrats have the brightest prospects of a victory this year khan they have had in yearsr remarked khe congressman. ''Our standard bearers will have the support of not only the pemocrats but many dissatisfied republi- eans also.
 t-The main factors in this campaign that point toward victory are the uncertainty bf Mir. Roosevelt and the threatening dis furbances that will follow the reopening of the negro question. I believe that the President is thoroughly honest but he has an impulsive disposition that may lead him to do something that will upset the whole business interests of the Unit ed States. Again the business men of the east are being benefited by the industrial development that is going on throughout the entire south. and if the republican ticket is elected and the race question is started afresh 1t is bound to cause al this progress to be checked. The conserv- Rtive people of the north don't want this to happen.
 "Of course the letters of acceptance of Judge Parker and Senator Davis will have much to do with our chances of victory but if they are in keeping with The past records of the two gentlemen they will only make our success cer- Lain."

 When the man was brought to head quarters under guard, General Clark was very much incensed, and ordered Griffith at once taken to the guardhouse and his stand closed up immediately. A guard was placed around the stand, and no more refreshments will be sold there. General Clark said to the prisoner:
 T Intend to prosecute you to the limit of the military law and also the civil law After the camp adjourns will have you placed in the county jail If cannot hold you any other way. The law gives us the right to prevent the sale of liquors within one-eighth of mile of the en- campment and also places a heavy pen atty on any man selling liquors to a member of the National Guard.
 You gave me your word of honor as a gentleman that you would not sell any spirituous liquors to the soldiers You have given us more trouble than any thing else and you will have to suffer heavily to pay for this violation,'

These gentlemen have purchased forty acres adjoining the cemetery, and will put both tracts into the new corporation, known as the Elm Leaf Cemetery association, of which Dr. T D.

 For some time past it has been appar- ent that Birmingham was badly in need of another cemetery, as the capacity of Oak Hill Is being rapidly exhausted. The location of Elm Leaf is ideal. Situated scarcely more than two miles from the court house, 1t is reached from the north side by drive through Elyton across the Alabama Great Southern railroad on the Montevallo road, on which the property fronts for half mile. It Is easy of ac- cess from all the southside, being at the end of the continuation of Avenue F. The land rises gently from the road and is thoroughly self-draining. The part now used as cemetery has been greatly adorned in the past two or three years, and the forty acres lying immediately to the south of the cemetery, which has re- gently been acquired by purchase Is a beautiful woodland. It is the purpose of the new owners to embellish this property to the fullest extent of which 1t is capa- ble The plans under contemplation call for the erection of a lodge and mortuary chapel on the grounds, as well as the opening of roadways and planting of grass, shrubs and flowers. Arrangements will be made for the permanent care of the lots sold from time to time by the creation of a fund from the sale of lots or otherwise. the income from which Is to be applied in perpetuity to the care Of the cemetery
 The new association assumes all the ob- lsgations of the Elm Leaf Cemtery com pany and will carry out existing con. tracts The office of the association for the present will continue at No. 3l2 North ruentieth street. *s'

If get we'll from being sick, I will pay the money which I owe and will also pay for my burial''
 The filing of the will for probate indi- cates that the testator did not survive his death, and should not be harshly blamed if he failed to personally settls with the sexton and the undertaken.
