IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Between Birmingham and Atlanta


 Prom my experience I would say that the best automobile route between Bir- mingham and Atlanta is by the way of Cedartown," said William NJ. Leary who returned last night from visit to Geor- sla. q came in my auto car from Ce- dartown a distance of 123 miles, at the average rate of b miles an hour. which was comforta ble speed. Of course, the run could be made faster if one cared to hurry.
 "The road is in very good condition, all the way from Atlanta to Birmingham. Some of it is very fine, The best and the worst stretches of road just now are between Gadsden and Birmingham. Be- tween Birmingham and Springvile the road is always in excellent condition; but the county in Alabama that is doing the best road work is Cherokee. When the road building in that county is com pleted there will be no better automo- bile highways in this country than Chero- kee Is giving us
 "All along the route between Cedar town and Birmingham one sees evidences of prosperity. Crops have been fine this year I notice a wonderful improvement in farming as compared with even year ago.
 "In stopping at Gadsden I found that city thriving. Gadsden seems full of en- terprise and everybody feels that the city has an exceptionally bright future"

Harrison Talks About Census

T would prefer to talk of the wonder ful growth of Birmingham above any other topic" said O. E. Harrison, assist ant attorney general of the United States, at the Hotel Hilman yesterday, when asked some questions relating to the wholesale grocers case.
 'I am only one of the thousands of American citizens who have been awak- ened to the fact that Birmingham has outstripped all other cities in percentage growth. I have never seen such wonder full gains in any town and it is no won- der that Birmingham is booming. I was told that no less than 1200 families had moved to Birmingham since the census report was announced. This means that when the next census Is taken the city of Birmingham will be giving the country another surprise.

BREED THEATER.
The Cowboy Girls and James J. Cor
bett, Features.

The big feature bill at the Breed
theater for today is doubly attractive
from the fact that it is headed by two
big features of widely different charac-
ter One is the great story OF crowd
of SEMINARY girls who take possession
of a western ranch, and make things
lively for every cowboy who dares ap-
proach it It is a comedy with touches
of real wild west realism that thor
oughly thrills every person who sees
It
The other big feature is the story of
How Championship Are Won and
Lost as depicted by the great James
]. COrbett. 1t is an athletic picture
that has eliminated from il all of a
coarse nature and opens with a big
ball in progress with Mr.. Corbett dane
ing with the Nitagraph GirllMiss Flor
ence Turner and she is revived
from sTooning, the great athlete uses
his influence to have her take q. course
of home exercises presenting his card
10 her chaperone and inviting them to
his studio the following day. The
scenes at the studio are of most in
teresting nature, and in conclusion the
young lady and chaperone witness a
three round exhibition bout between
Mr- Corbett and Tom Kennedy, the
celebrated heavyweight This picture
is most interesting, being thoroughly
refined.

BIG SHOW COMING.
FerePsueh and Sells Bros Circus to
Exhibit in Norwich.


The Great Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Bros Big United Shows are TO

ment is made officially today. The
July 10
It is now several seasons since this

included this city in its itinerary. 1t
will be welcomed with all the more
eagerneSS because of its long absence,
It is well understood that it means a
circus day vastly more important than
mas fallen to our lot for many a moon.
This circus is considered by those IA
niliaT with the show business as the
have stood still it has steadily advanc-
ed. Its size is far in excess of those
that have claimed to be it's superior.
The best news of all is the fact that
people are to see something entirely
different from anything that has ever
been done by amusement purVeyors.
The mana cement set an army of skill
ed artists and designers to work late
last fall to construct an entirely new
equi pm ent for their organiZat ton
The effect of all this spIendor, sud-
denly disclosed before the eyes of
those who have been attending other
circus entertainments is almost blind
ing When the wonderful new parade
goes through the streets, spectators
find themselves wondering if it is in
deed earthly circus pageantry. so diff
ferent is it frOfTl-what they have seen
in the past.
And great company of strange art
lists, presenting altogether new IDEAS
has renade the old circus progra MN 9
into Z. distinctly new form of amuse-
nnent.
And this wondrous new circus deals
in much greater figures than are need
Cd to describe other shows A single
one of It's four long trains could pick
UP and run away with the whole equip
u1ent Of any other circus in the world.

The oaken bucket has a place
In story and in song.
And TO the wooden cradle, too.
Some laurel-wreaths belong
The orchard swing, the ancient clock,
The old traditions share
But dearest TO my mind of all
Was mothers rocking chair
I nestled in her loving arms
Toward the close of day.
And to the pleasant land OF dramNmm
Was quickly rocked away.
When pain and illness raoked nay
frame.
What ease beyond compare
found with pillows at nay back
In mothers rocking chair!
No padded seat or cushioned arms
Or silk or leather warm,
In all the years since then have held
Such comfort for my form.
And often when / feel the weight
of grinding toll and care,
OH how / long to rest again
In mothers rocking chair.

DAYS AT HOME.

Days at home-they're mighty sws~e
Laughing lips and pattering feet,
Little child hands led to you,
ana the eyes of baby dew
Bubbling Ger you as you seem
Little child again in dream.
Days at homeland baby there
Tugging at your tie and hair
Rest amid the roses swung
Where the heart of life grows young
With the spirit and the glow
Or the love old sweethearts know.
Days at home-it's home for nina
with the babys eyes ashine;
With his little clinging fingers
Round my own, and joy that fingers
Through the dream of rest and play
All the glad and golden day
