SALVATION ARMY
 IN NEED OF FUNDS
HAS HAD TO GIVE UP HALL AND CAPTAIN HARVEY STATES THAT ABOUT $500 IS NECESSARY TO TIDE CORPS OVER.

Capt. J. A. Harvey. who has recently taken charge of the local corps of the Salvation Army announces that he finds the corps badly in need of funds to carry on the regular work of the organization. The army had to give up it's hall recently on First avenue, so that at present 1t has no place for meeting when indictment weather makes 1t impossible to hold the meetings on the streets. Captain Harvey states, however, that they hope soon to rent a hall on Twentieth street, which will be centrally located and will serve well tn purposes of tn organization.
 He states that the local corps needs about $500 to tide 1t over and carry on the armys regular work without interrup- ton. In view of the success which has attended the army's work in the past 1t Is believed that it will not be difficult to raise the required amount.

CARS ID SEEK AUTO ROUTE ID ATLANT IA Pathfnding Trip Will Be Made
 In Short Time CLUB MEETS TOMORROW Birmingham Enthusiasts Are All In- terested and It Is Believed Move
 ment Will Add Stimulus
 for Better Roads.
CLUB MEETS TOMORROW

Within the next two or three weeks a group of scout automobiles, represent ing the Birmingham Automobile club, will lanta. The object will be to pick out the most available route between Bir- mingham and Atlanta and ultimately to connect with the New York-to-Atlanta au- tomobile course
 A meeting of the board of governors of the club is to be held tomorrow night at which definite plans of the trip will be worked out. The proposition has taken well with the members of the club, having been before them for several weeks, and a number have volunteered to take the trip.
 So far three courses have been mapped out, and efforts are being made to get every bit of information possible regard ing the roads. Any one having any knowledge in this connection, especially those persons living in the towns be- tween Birmingham and Atlanta, are re- quested to communicate it to Dr. James E. Dedman, president, or G. T. Brazel- ton, secretary of the club.
 The three courses have been mapped out by J. T. Doster, w. J. Rushton and MT. Brazelton.
 One passes through Argo, Ashville, Gadsden. Center. Cave Springs, Cedar town, Dallas and Marietta to Atlanta
 The second goes through Branchvile. Coal City, Ohatchie Jacksonville, Pied mont Cedartown, Dallas and Marietta to Atlanta.
 The third route passes through Pell City, Lincoln, Bynum, Annston, Iron City, Hefiin, Edwardsville, Tallapoosa, Bremen, Douglasville and Marietta to At lanta.
 The picking out of this route will also work out as a good roads movement. The club Is taking steps to work up in terest in road building, and it is probable that speeches will be made at a number of points along the way. Efforts will be made to work up rivalry between the various counties In doing road work.
 A race between Birmingham and At lanta Is being proposed. In fact, the se- lection of a route will very probably be followed with a number of such events.
 
 will eventually be extended to New Or leans. and the bringing of this course by Birmingham and on to Montgomery and Mobile is the real aim of the movement. 1 w. W. Crawford of the bureau of tours l of the Chicago Automobile club, is talk ing an interest in the matter and has | given stimulus to 1t by requesting of the ! officers of the local club the best routes | between Birmingham to Atlanta and from Birmingham to other points In Alabama. In the scout cars will go a number of prominent Birmingham people who are enthusiasts on automobiles and good roads Newspaper men will also make the trip and the matter will be given the fullest publicity. The meeting tomorrow night will undoubtedly be an enthusiastic one, and the result of 1t is being anx- iously awaited. Birmingham has the au- tomobile fever, as has been shown in the automobile meets held, and the probabil- ity of a race from Birmingham to At lanta and ultimately from New York to Birmingham has already been the cause of much discussion.

RESOLUTIONS STATE CASE
 OF ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE

the constitutional amendment Is recog- nized as the fight in the last ditch of the whisky forces. They see in the success of our cause their utter and final defeat. They dare not state or face the issue fairly as one that means the return of the saloons on the one hand, or the ces- sation of political turmoil, with a per- manently established policy of prohibition on the other hand; but by playing upon prejudice and by seeking to inject wholly Irrelevant issues, they would becloud the question and confuse the minds of the people. We declare that there is but one issue in this campaign, and that is saloons or no saloons and we call upoS the voters of Alabama 10 settle this ques- tion in the presence of their consciences.
 '7 The adoption of the pending con stitutional amendment will finally and forever relieve the people of Alabama not only of the whisky traffic, but as well of the unceasing attempts at polt- ical domins tion by the organized whisky interests of America. Let the people speak, and let the policy of the state In dealing with the saloon have that definite ness and dnality of expression that will insure the banishment of the most cor rupting and disturbing power that has ever cursed a commonwealth.
 S We deny that any part of the pro posed amendment furnishes any just or legal ground for apprehension lest there be an invasion of the rights of citizens in their homes
 '9. We declare our purpose to hold 10 the single issue of a fight to the death against the saloon, allying ourselves with no mans political ambition and entan- gling ourselves with no extraneous pol icies.
 TO We steadfastly favor the adoption or the proposed amendment, call upon all people, regardless of political utilization. to help us. and with supreme confidence In glorious victory and asking the aid of Almighty God upon our efforts. we sub init the issue to the people of Alabama"
