TALLADEGA HAS

CITIZENS TAKE HOLD OF IDEA
READILY AND WILL NOW BOOST
THEIR ToWN-BIBB ADDRESSES
MEETING.

Talladega, September 2S.-(Special)
There was a large and enthusiastic
meeting at the courthouse last night
looking to the organization of COM
mercial club or Industrial organization
to build up Talladega. The large au-
dience hall was packed. Joseph B.
Babb of Birmingham. who had been
invited to be present, addressed the
gathering in a brief practical talk,
combining himself to the tech nicalities
of maintaining a commercial organi
cation of this character, and stressing
the fact that money was necessary to
keep it in existence
A suggestion that the names of 100
men be obtained, each member to con-
tribute 500 per year for two years by
buying shares In the club--each share
being priced at 500, was Immediately
carried into effect and 20 shares were
quickly subscribed for, the corpora
tions represented taking one share, and
a number of clerks lawyers and in
dividuals not in business taking one

w. e. Henkel of the real estate firm
c
talk Immediately preceding the collec-
ton. Mayor Oliver was prominent in
boosting the collection. 1t was notice
able that number of people with
quite small incomes subscribed for as
many shares as business concern of
large wealth. and great interets Some
three or four persons doubled their
subscriptions, but there was no land
slide of heavy concerns to do this.
With four railroads a favorable
freight rate, with immense beds of
marble, mineral paint, iron, pyrites,
with great fields of hardwood, long
leaf pine. with ideal sanitary and health
conditions, with number of great
schools. with its immense undeveloped
water power. and the finest agricul-
tural situation in eastern Alabama, 1t
is pointed out that there is no reason
why Talladega sh ould not become a
large manufacturing point. The recent
building of railroads has drawn from
the city some of its retail trade, and
the business men see the necessity for
starting wholesale and manufacturing
plants. Special advantages can be of
fered to small manufactures who will
loate here-such as exemption from
municipal taxation, cheap locations,
sites near railroads, abundant water,
good schools and churches, and access
sibilitV to market.

An interesting phase of the growth of
the greater university Is the building
which Is being done by the fraternities.
Two of these student organizations are
now erecting pretty structures on Uni
versity avenue, the thoroughfare which
leads from Tuscaloosa to the university.
During the existence of the military sys-
tenn 1t was impossible for the fraternities
to have houses and they even had to
have their meeting places on the univer-
sity grounds. But with the passing of the
old regime, most of them obtained meet
ing halls or rooms in town and several
of them, at least, started movements
looking toward the erection of houses OF
their own.
Last year Delta Kappa Epsilon rented a
house in town in which majority of the
local chapter live. But the first to at
tain the end of building houses of their
own are Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi
Delta Theta. The former, which was
founded here at the university in 1856, is
putting up an elegant little structure of
pressed brick and marble in the ELIZA

mortal hall to the founders of the fra
ternity and will be used for club purposes
only The Phi Delta Theta house will
be handsome residence which will not
only furnish club rooms but will also con-
tain living rooms for at least a part of
the chapter.

Bullock county has just begun building
a system of good roads that will extend

is concluded.
The people of the county recently au-
'thorized the issuance of bonds to the
amount of 100000 to be put into the i'm
provement of the roads and the money
is now in hand
A. e. Singleton, probate judge of the
county, is one Of the leading good roads
enthusiasts of the state and for several
years has been trying to interest his peo-
pie in this improvement The enthusiasm
with which the bond issue was authorized
indicates the live interest of the peo-

Bullock county has fairly good roads
and some good material for their improve
