 Drummers to Help 1910 Movement
 'rhe gathering of the Commercial Travellers of Alabama in Montgomery on May 31 and June to attend the annual convention of the Grand Coun- gomerys 1910 movement" said a local member of the U.. c. T.s yesterday. T believe that travelling men exert great influence for good or bad and in public affairs. You see, they talk with so many people and go to so many places and they are usually good and convincing conversationallsts at that. I have always believed that the drummer exerts marked influence in politics and many vote has been changed one way or the other just by the casual conversation of drummer with a citizen in some locality where he happens to be.
 Now just the same way with the 1910 movement. If all of these travel find 1t progressive hospitaole place, they will ever be ready and willing to talk Montgomery. and while that does not seem to count so much, when you consider the hundreds of such drummers in the State, migrating from place to place, 1t is quite thing.
 We intend to entertain these visi- tors elaborately and preparations for the occasion are nSy nnder way"
 Churches Given High Place.
 Speaking comparatively, Montgom- cry is the most religious city I ever until few years ago lived in the North.
 portance in the life of Montgomery south I am not familiar with any other Southern city. so cannot say if MontRomery Is exceptionally in the characteristic to which have alluded. But 1t has come under my personal Observation that every man promi- nent in any line of business is also prominent as a worker in the church. If I learn that man is prominent in the financial or commercial life of the city. I am sure to learn that he is also prominent in the religious work of the city.
 the congregations are much larger than they are in the North, In our rural districts in the North perhaps the it is here in this city. but the cities cede to the church the important place It Is given in Montgomery."
