 Due to the careful planning of Archi- tects Warren & Welton, and the build ing committee, the public spirit of the members of the Commercial club and the farsighted policy of President John L. Raul, the commercial bodies of the city will have beautiful home of their own in less than year.
 It is an elaborately planned build ing. By day, it will be seen rising seven stories, enriched with beautiful trimmings, marble columns, a metal and glass marquise, and bricks in Moravian tile and other patterns. The main corner will appear very ornate in Italian Renaissance. The color of which the Title-Guarantee building is constructed, with gray terra cotta trimmings.

 The main entrance to the building is on First avenue, with three large doors, and two great marble columns To this effect is added metal mar quise which will be very elaborate, stretching out oyer the sidewalk and complete with electroliers on the cor ners.
 The building covers 1O0x1OO feet and is 102 feet in height. The basement has not yet been divided, but it is sup piled with one elevator and five-foot marble stair, numerous sidewalk lights, a broad hall with terrazzo floor, marble border and a system of per feet ventilation. There are also two outside basement entrances, and it is probable that 1t will be occupied with barber shops, restaurants, or something similar.
 Upon entering the first floor one will be confronted by fife elevator lobby, 15 feet wide, which opens upon two large elevators and space for another If it is ever deemed necessary. A mar ble stair also leads to the auditorium above. Four very elaborately decor ated store rooms are provided, three of them opening on First avenue and the othsr on Nineteenth street. They will be provided with an up-to-date lighting service, and sockets for electric fans. The stores all open into the elevator lobby with glass doors and windows.

HOT CONTEST FOR
 ED SMITHS PLACE

While outwardly everything is peaceful, together with the live interest in the race for judgeship of the police court, and with many candidates seeking to fill the shoes of City Attorney E. D. Smith, the aldermen are having a busy period all among themselves.
 For city attorney there is red hot fight on. Mr. Smith, as stated before, will not stand for reelection and the fine berth is not going to waste.
 J. Q. Smith, prominent in Alabama Ma tional Guard circles, and who for two years has assisted the city attorney in the prosecution of the city's cases, is ac- lively in the race. He has many warm friends working in his interest who be- lieve that he should succeed
 Two members of the council. John c. Torney and Fred A. F'ulghum, are in the race. each man having friends. MT. Forney has long been a member of the board. MT. Fulghum for several years has been chairman of the judiciary com mittee of the council
 Former Attorney General Charles G. Brown is considered a candidate, as is H. K. White. z. T. Rudulph, a prom  inent and well-known attorney. is said to have entered the race, although a state ment from him has not been received. L. c. Ledbetter, who has served as judge of the police court in the absence of Judge Feagin, is considered strong can didate.
 And the water is boiling, with everyone cutting ice and saying little.
 The council will elect city officials in December. The races for judge of the police court and city attorney will be the livest. There has developed no opposition to Chief Bennett of the fire department. and no opposing candidate has announced for city engineer, building inspector san itary inspector, milk and meat inspector. inspector of weights and measures, tax collector and treasurer, city clerk, street commissioners, pound keeper or keeper of the cemeteries and parks.

At the corner furtherest from noise is the auditorium, 40x50 feet, seating 92O, with place to put in a gallery later, and an imposing dome ceiling, with a skylight. Above this skylight for the remaining five stories 50x50 foot open court is left as- suring tl1e-offces plenty of light for all time to come. The club rooms look right down Ninteenth street, and are ample in space, although 16 other of fees will be for rent on the same floor.

The sixth and seventh floors are similar except the offices are arranged in different i shapes
 This is to be the finest building in Birmingham, finish ed in quarter sawed oak. All the floors will be of terrazzo with marble border and base.
