Some of them go so far as to believe the story. notwithstanding the fact that the au- thor of the story has not the courage to come boldly out and admit it.
 The story grew out of the strange relations which are reported to exist between the doorkeepers who are the bosses of the pages and the pages who dislike to be bossed.

keyed the interest of the newspaper writers on the Alabama river by sell ing them of it's necessities for improve ment and navigation.
 Senator Bankhead had promised to make the trip to Mobile with the press party but he found other matters pressing him so that he could not give the time for the trip.
 Another disappointment to the edi- tors was the failure of Capt. T. H. Moore, the popular steamboat owner of Montgomery. to make the trip. It was q disappointment. too, to Captain Moore He had planned to travel with the editors. Friday he received a cablegram announcing the death of one of his business associates in Ha- vana. He remained in Montgomery Gn- til the City of Mobile left there Friday evening. Then he took a train for the South and hurried to Havana to le present at the funeral of his friend
 It was thought in the spring when the river trip was planned. that Pres ident W. F. Vandiver of the People Line of steamers. would accompany the party. He expressed hope that he would be able to do so. MT. NandlVer is now in Europe
 Captain Quarles was an able repre- sentative of Messrs. Vandiver ana Moore. With his long experience on the river he was able to push it's advant- ages as a navigable stream before the editors in most interesting manner
 The first stop made by the press par . ty was at Selma, which city was reached about o'clock Saturday morn- ing. Committees of Selma men met the steamboat and members of the par ty were shown to waiting automobiles It would seem that Selma has the auto habit well developed. No finer cars are seen anywhere. Scores of Selmians own machines The reason for the popularity of automobiles is found in the beautiful and well kept roads and streets.
 The visitors to Selma were shown many places of interest, including Live Oak Cemetery. wherein repose the re- mains of Senator Morgan and Vice. President King Visits were also paid to beautiful Elkdale Park and the grounds of the Central Alabama Fair Association One editor from the hills of North Alabama said the race track was very fine and that the Selma man who took him in it broke all automo- bile records.

 The little steamer Fairhope returned to the city shortly before noon today after taking the members of the Ala bama Press Association to Point Clear and her officers and several of the members of the Mobile committee say that the trip was made in record time. After making her regular run tonight the Fairhope will take the editors up to Fairhope for a moonlight ride, and on reaching there they will be served with ice cream and other refreshments at the pavilion near the beach.
 They will return to the Point tonight in time to get a good nights rest and will return in the morning. AS soon as the editors arrived at the Point this morning they took a salt sea bath to prepare them for an excellent din- ner to which they did full justice.

 The members of the Alabama Press Association pronounced the trip on the steamer City of Mobile down the Ala bile the most enjoyable trip the aSso- ciation has ever made.

Then they will re- turn to Mobile and spend Tuesday here, leaving on the City of Mobile at o'clock tomorrow evening for Mont gornery.
