TESH TO SPEAK
 THIS AFTERNOON

The Baracas and Philatheas of the dis trict have looked forward to this day with great deal of anticipation. At the Cincinnati convention last June it was decided to put a field secretary in the field to help Mir Hudson, the world president, who has been acting in this capacity for many years. The selection of the man to fill this important posi- tion was left with the executive com mittee and after much deliberation MT. Luther McCray Tesh of Raleigh, N. C., was chosen to carry the work on and to help Mir. Hudson in the capacity of field secretary. MT. Tesh is in Birming- ham today and will address a large mass meeting at the First Methodist church at 3:3O this afternoon. He is said to be a splendid speaker and the fact that he was chosen for this important po- sition is sufficient proof that he under stands the workings of this great move ment.
 All Sunday school workers are cor dially invited to attend the mass meet ing this afternoon. Mr. Tesh will remain in the city for the Baraca banquet which is to be given at the Young Mems Chris tion association next Tuesday evening and will be one of the principal speakers at that time.

BIRMINGHAM HAS
 UNION WAREHOUSE Farmers Establish Cotton Sell

 Birmingham Big Cot
 ton Center.
BANKERS WILL LEND AID

For the convenience of the farmers of the state the Farmers union of Alabama has established cotton warehouse and selling agency in Birmingham. A plan has been worked out so that it will be possible to handle a quarter of million bales of cotton without trouble.
 The establishment of the warehouse in Birmingham was brought about largely through the recent conference between the farmers and bankers of the state at which It was agreed by the bankers that they would assist the growers in their efforts to secure better price for the staple by holding it in warehouses.
 The move on the part of the Farmers union is one of great importance. Bir- mingham is probably the most conven- tent and most central city in the state for the warehouse, which will be great convenience to the farmers who may care to forward their cotton to a ware house, and will mean much to Birming ham, as it will increase the city's im- portanee as a cotton center.
 Relative to the opening of the ware house the following letter has been is sued to the cotton producers of the state:
 The Farmers union of the state of Alabama, in session at Birmingham, Sep tember 30, 1908, hereby notifies all union and non-union cotton growers of the state that it has established warehouse and cotton selling agency at state head quarters, Birmingham, Ala, and we most earnestly request that all cotton be listed and sold through this agency.
 The executive committee of the Ala bama Bankers association, in session at Birmingham recently. passed resolu- tions urging all banks in the state to aid in financing the cotton crop, and we feel we can count on their cooperation. Respectfully,
 G. w. BURDIcK, Chairman,
 G. D. HUNT, Secretary,
 J. c. HICKS,
 Committee.
