 From what can be learned Collector Thompson feels encouraged that he is going to still have the pull in the state. Some people think there !s no doubt about his continuing to a limited ex- tent at least. as referee. but others are not of that opinion. As has been re- peatedly mentioned In these disuatches the time cannot be far off when this VIII be known definitely.
 | The Birmingham postmastership light and that over the coliectorship at Mobile will have to be settled, and then if will be known which way the wind is going to blow. If Collector Thompson gets his men appointed it will show that he has not lost his grin. Unless he shas changed front. his men Tor those two good places are Joe Montgomery for postmaster, and H. Gordon Ashley for collector. . MT. Thompson said today he exnectes to leave for. home tomorrow.

convention Of the Interstate Associa- tfon will be held in Memphis some time. the latter part of this month. snd If they decide at the meeting next Tuesday evening, to Invite the associa- ton there next year. committee oi the local cotton oil men will go to Memphis with this in view.
 The Interstate Association has held its former annual conventions in other large cities of the South as New Or leans. Louisville and Atlanta. but fl has never held a single session .n .he state of Alabama and for this reason the local cotton oil men want to have 1t convene-tn this city In 1910.
 5. J. Cassels. well versed in the cot ton oil circles of this state, in talking about the project last evening stared that it would be the biggest kind of an advertisement for Montgomery. if they could bring 1t here. as over ,e60 ;business men connected with the larg- est cotton oil mills all over the United States attended these annual conven- tions of s,the Interstate Association.
 Speaking further. about the matter Mr. Cassels declared that 1t would t'e inadvisable to even think of inviting this big convention. here next year un- less, the new Gay-Teague Hotel was Finished and, ine running order as the delegates to this convention were al- ways entertained on large and mag nifioent scale and concluding he ttated that an entertainment of this kind for over 1,eO0 of the largest business men of the country meant something for the town.

2 Washington. ID. C.. May ,7--(SpeeiaD -Senator Bankhead said this after noon he thought there was 10 longer any doubt that W. |. Grubb. of Birnf- ingham would be appointed Judge of the Northern District. He thinks tLe nomination may be sent to the Senate almost any day. .5,..4 .s ,....-.
 J. o. Thompson had long talk with President Taft last night about Ala bama matters. having remained 1t is believed until l o'clock at the. White House. a 2.
 From what he told friends and acquaintances today 1t Is safe to state that he did not get any real l'encourage- ment so far as acting Judge Hundiey is concerned. ',.,-. s.. e&
 Hundiey is clear out .of tho calcula- tion. although the story is that Coll lector Thompson is hardly willing to abandon hope, having insisted to sew eral people today that HundleyS had a chance. This is about the position taken by Rufus N. Rhodes. after he saw President Taft during a recent visit to Washington. "Hundiey has a chance" he said. Most other folks sounded 'on the subject fh.nk it a mighty slim one. st
 The. talk today is that President Taft has fiatly stated that he does not propose to have this Alabama jndge- ship or similar positions. In other. states thrown in among jobs that are usraI- ly classeJ as political Tn other words he wishes to separate them as much as possible from politics. believing that he will be able to procure neh better qualified and free from entnhgiementa.
 Of course. in lengthy talk with the President the other patronage in Alabama was undoubtedly nisnsioned.

 Of the number of births. 2.377 were white and 1.0s7 negroes. Of the 2.- SIT whites. l.320 were males and only 1.057 females. Of the l,0S7 negroes there were 614 males and 473- females.
 As to the mortuary side of the sheet for January. pneumonia wielded the deadliest 'scythe. claiming no less than l4s, pushed by a close second in tuberculosis. the white plague mailing some IT people. Even here 1t is like- iy that . few deaths were omitted, but all in all. the state Health Depart ment is much gratified by the ef- ficiency thus far attained in assem- bling the, data. sf% s.s tc'stf <

This Is the sec ond annual observance of Mothers rav. and the widespread interest ID ii indicates that 1t Is likely to become { permanent institution. Credit for enc inception of the idea Is due to Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia.
 Tha purposes of this celebration are fo revive dormant filial love and grat- ifuda. to be q home tie for the ab- sent: to obiiterate family estrange- snents: to create . bond Of brother hood through the wearing of the floral badge; to make us better children by <efflng us closer to the hearts of our rood mothers; to brighten the lives of the good mothers.
 The white carnation is the symbol ok Mothers Day. It is urged that everyone wear one of these flowers on the second Sunday Tn May. Its whitsness stands for purity; its last ing qnarities for faithfulness; its frag- rance for love: It's wide field of growth for charity: it's form for beauty Last year Los Angeles.
