The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-08-15


 Though the bills for the establishment of comprehensive monument scheme for Alabama were not among the large list sent over so far this week by Gov ernor Conner 1t is thought that they will be along in a short time, as there is great interest on the part of the peo- pie generally and members of patriotic societies in particular in their success. It is not expected that the governor will disapprove the measures, though he has not yet made public avowal of his pur- pose concerning them.
 The bills in the list include one to cre- ate the Alabama monument commission With the governor at the head. which Is tribunal for the settlement of questions arising, such as places of location. An other Is to appropriate s25,0 GOO year, on approval of the governor for the erec- tion of a monument in four years at each of the four great parks; and an other to erect a monument to Jefferson Davis on the capitol grounds.
 Among the patriotic associations that have urged success of the bills are the heads of the Confederate veterans, Sons and various ladies' memorial associations. Gen. stephen D. Lee, Gen. c. Irvine Wal ker and Gen. Clement A. Evans have written to support the measures, as has Mrs. w. J. Behan of the Memorial as- sociation and Mrs. Lizzie Henderson, head of the Daughters of the Confederacy in Mississippi.

 The agricultural department is cared for in the bills for soil surveys farmers institutes and the gathering of cotton re- ports More money is given for the car rying on of the last department and there is also a law to regulate the gin ming of cotton that is in line with the demands of the situation for controlling the reports.
