Montgomery, November 25.-Cspe- cial)-Advices which have been re- ceived in this city by Bruce Kennedy, secretary of the Business Mems league, from various commercial clubs and chambers of commerce in all sections of the state, lead to the belief that the "All-Ala bama movement" which Is to be inaugurated In this city in a two days session beginning Novem- Der 29, will be one of the most sue cessful movements started in the state in more than a decade. Invitations which have been sent out to all cities of Alabama are being responded to every day with the result that in the neigh hborhood of 1000 leading business men of the state are expected to be on hand to participate In the deliber- ations, which have as their design the advertisement of the state.
 The programme as arranged is a thorough one and includes addresses to be delivered by many of the lead ing successful business men of the south. How to most effectively adver- tise the resources of the state and how to get full value in the drift of immigration toward Alabama are the chief topics which will be given first consideration.
 Commercial organizations of Mobile and Birmin gham are working heart and hand with the Business Mems league of Montgomery with the end in view of stirring up enth usiasm in the sessions and each of these organiza- tions as an indications of the faith which they have in the movement, will send large delegations to Montgomery to attend the two days session. Near ly all of the congressman of Alabama are scheduled for addresses, while prac- tically all of the incoming state off cials are down on the programme for speeches.

Golf Meet to Be Held

As a result of tho harmony felt on Thanksgiving day between the golf teams from Pensacola and Montgomery, 1t is more than probable that on next year the meet will be a four-cornered one, to be entered into by teams from Mobile, Pensacola, Birmingham and Montgom- cry. Association between Pensacola tand Montgomery has already been organized, and negotiations are now under way for entrance of the other two cities.
 The idea of the organizers of the new association is that a tournament should be held every spring, going first to one city then to another until all of the links have been visited. It is thought that such an association will have the effect of materially improving the game in each of the cities, inasmuch as friendly rivalry would be promoted.

Corn Crop Is Large

Cullman county has this year pro- duoed one of the largest corn crops ever in the history of the county. The acreage this year was increased and the crop is the finest ever seen. But the farmers have neglected to produce hay and small grain for feedstuff. It was formerly reported that sufficient hay and corn would be raised for home consumption but that this is mis- take can be plainly seen by the num- bers of cars loaded with this class of farm products being shipped to Gull man from other sections. So far as corn is concerned the farmers will have plenty for home use and to sell, but as usual they are said to be com pelled to buy hay and small grain for feed
