important thing happened. a canary in a gilt

dropped their spoons and fastened their eyes 70

THuRMoNp X CANDIDATE.
Will Contest For Representative Frcn
 Colbert County.

Colbert County.
 Tuscumbia, March 27.--(Specfai)--- Dr. R. J. Thurmond, Jr.. of Sheffield, has made public his announcement as & candidate for Representative from Colbert county in the next Legisla- ture, subject to the primary election to be held May 7th. Dr. Thurmond has an open field so far, although there are two or three more entries being groomed. and the prospects are favora- ble for at least two candidates anyhow. Dr. Thurmond favors railroad rate re- form, local option as to the Whiskey question. and in all matters in which the people have an interest, he believes in the greatest good to the greatest number. He is a popular citizen of Sheffield, of which city he was Mayor for several years. and has strong fol- lowing throughout the county. He led the fight in the county executive com mittee last week for an early primary, and won his fight, the committee des- ignating May 7th as the day.
 Beginning next Sunday series or protracted services will be held Tor 5 week or ten days, by the pastor. Rev. George W. Read, who is to be assisted by Rev. Frank M. Brandon of Birming- ham. Mir. Brandon bears the reputa- ton of being one of the most eloquent young ministers in the North Alabama Conference
 The monthly appropriation for the Southern Railway shops at Shemeld. for the last few months has been greater than any like period since the shops were removed from Memphis. The force of men is consequently larger and the work correspondingly greater. On account of the heavy traffic on both the Memphis division and the Northern Alabama, which has been from twenty five to fifty per cent. greater for the past year than ever before in their history, there is a greater demand for engines and cars. and a bigger force than ordinarily is required to maintain the rolling stock. Besides the heavy repair work, the shops at Sheff1eld will have built a number of cars and ca boses. and are now building twenty of the latter.

Campaign Committee is Called to Meet
 Today. LESS THAN $500 IS NEEDED Total of $to,OoO May Be Com
 pleted Today. Some Census Figures Are Quoted to Show the wonderful Natural Growth of Montgomery Re- fore Her Claims Were
 Made Known.

Today may be the lats day of the campaign for the s10.000 Fund for the population of 100000 in 1910.' The fund may be completed before she day is done. Today may. hold the last chance for a citizen of Montgomery to express his confidence in the future of the city and to make manifest his patriotic interest in Montgomery's welfare.
 There is less thanl $1.300 to be added to the fund. The total subscription af dark last night amounted to $S,f52.ao. The workers for the cause will get to- gether this morning at the Commercial Club at 10 o'clock. Chairman F. F. Glass of the Campaign Committee has issued the call for the meeting. Ev- cry member of the committee 1t IS earnestly hoped will be present.
 The financial mark set up and aimed at, is only little ways ahead. It can be reached in a day. Ways and means for this, the final skirmish of the fi- nancial fight will be discussed and considered. If an earnest, aggressive day is put in by all the subcommittee the thing will be done.

terday was made by The Montgomery Journal. The Journal gave the sum of $100 for Montgomery, a great city in 1910. The next largest giver to the committee yesterday was the Ivey Brothers Realty Company. which was put down for a subscription of $50.
 Only one committee was actively at work during yesterday, the committee of Messrs. J. H. Plnckard and V. H. Hanson, assisted by Chairman Glass of the Campaign Committee. All the subscriptions secured yesterday were secured by them with the exception of one or two volunteer subscriptions made by patriotic Montgomerians who never waited to be approached by 8 committee. The days work netted the cum of $465.
 The Final Fight.
 Among the many civic bodies whose attention has been attracted by the aroused and aggressive spirit of the Montgomery Commercial Club is the Commercial Club of Birmingham. Sec retary J. B. Babb of the Birmingham organization yesterday wrote Secretary L. l.. Gilbert of the local club and con- graduated the organization upon the success which had already attended the movement for a Twentieth Century Montgomery.
 The movement has already done more than win subscriptions to a develop ment fund. It has done more than draw Montgomery to the attention of other cities of the country and evoke com pIiment on her aroused civic pride. It has indeed done more than all this.
 It has stiffened the pride of Mont gomery's people. It has made some of her own people acquainted with fea- lures of her remarkable development. It has taught them to know that Mont gomery is one of the most prosperous and one of the most promising cities of the South. It has taught them to say a good word of her when they go abroad and it has taught them what the good word shall be. The people of Montgomery have not been accus- toned to talk so loudly of their home city as the people of Atlanta or Bir- mingham. They have been content to praise her splendid social conditions, the beauty of her streets, her magni- ficent sanitary conditions and the de- lights of the place as a city of homes. All this and more she has to her credit and her people are learning to talk of her recent remarkable development and of the great future just ahead of her.
 A we'll known professional man of Montgomery yesterday drew attention
 
 her rapid development, which had passed unnoticed. In discussing the en- thusiasm aroused by the movement for Twentieth Century Montgomery, he said:
 100000 Is Possible.
 "Do you know am one of those who believe that such a splendid future for Montgomery as population of 100000 Is quite possible? l drive about the city quite a good deal and am some what familiar with the recent marked improvements in the residential dis tricts and in the suburbs. No man can form an adequate idea of the growth of the city unless he gets away from the congested business district and goes out in the suburbs. where the greatest evidences of this development is to be seen. There are hundreds of people whose eyes would be opened if they came across all this development of which so many of the people of the city are ignorant.
 But what especially desired to call
