With another outburst of enthusiasm
the business men of Birmingham rolled
up s62,00 for the Young Women's Chris
tan association last night. closing a
12-day campaign in which S275.0o0 has
been raised for the two associations.
The final meeting of committees last
night was one of praise and thanksgiv-
ing. c. S. Ward, under whose magic
hand the campaign was directed, made a
farewell talk in which he declared that
Birmingham has broken all records, that
he had never met with such enthusiastic
support. He said that he intended to
fave the bulletin board photographed and
take 1t with him to Atlanta, and all over
the country as an evidence of just what
Birmingham really is. He praised the
work of the business men, the ladies',
and the newspapers, and in closing as
cribed all honor to the directing hand
of Providence.
There were many tributes to Mr.. Ward
during the meeting, and the speakers
were all of the opinion that the CAM
paign has been beneficial to the city in
more ways than one.
Secretary ]. B. Babb of the Chamber
of Commerce said: "It has proven that
Birmingham is growing not only in
wealth, but in character and morals
Mr.. Babb thanked the committees and
the city for the noble work which was
accomplished in such a short time.
Mr. Crosby, Frank Nelson, Jr., and Mrs.
C. P. Orr. president of the Young Wom-
ems Christian association, all expressed
their thanks to the committees for their
work in very warm terms. Dr. j. I.
Plunket made a short talk in which he
pointed out the many advantageous re-
suits of the campaign, and closed the
meeting with fervent prayer of thanks
giving to God.
Rivals Join Hands.
Even the great rivals, Committee No. S
and Committee No. Joined hands in the
hour of triumph. Culpepper Exum. the
acting chairman for Mr.. Josephs COM
{ mittee, said that after consultation his
committee had decided to resign the
palm to No. 2, believing that it had done
the hardest work. Mr.. Collins replied,
There is no use of your being SO
magnanimous. This is no time for talk
ing, but rather for singing and rejoice
ing"
Mr.. Exum and committee No. s con-
tinued. their great work yesterday, and
won out with a total of over 5000. All of
the chairmen gave due credit to the
noble work of the women who acted
with them and especially was the work
OF the business women's committee loud
ly cheered.
There is a general feeling of satisfac-
ton in the community that Birmingham
has once more done something well. The
first month in the year is closing after
record unequaled in the city's history,
and is fair example of the great value
of this new spirit of cooperation which
has recently seized hold of the business
men. A more genuine feeling of fellow
ship now existing among the men who
Tub elbows in business than could have
possibly resulted in any other way.
