GREAT MEETING IS
 HELD AT FAYETTE

Fayette, March 14.-(Special)-At the opening of court here today an immense gathering of people from all over tayette county listened to the most rousing po- litical speeches that have been heard since the amendment fight. More than 1000 people crowded the court house.
 Speeches were made in the interest of Col Emmet O'Neai-by Capt. D. w. Booker of Birmingham and Tom L. Long of Jasper Captain Booker referred to the conduct of Ray Rushton in his open
 ing speech at Centreville for MT. Nal lory in his assault upon Colonel o'Neal, connecting his name with that of dog, Tige as undignified, and paid General O'Neal high tribute of respect for his gallantry, devotion and tenacity in de- lending the rights of the people. Had MT. Rushton read the history of our country he would have hung his head in shame before he would have had the temerity to breathe the name of that great soldier in any way save that of honor and respect"
 Tom Long delivered an address replete with sarcasm, wit and wisdom. He did not fail to go after Conner and the Conner administration. Between the speeches in the interest of MT. ONeal, John A. Lusk made a speech in the interest of his call didacy for the railroad commission.
 Leon McCord delivered the closing ad- dress. In asking the support of the voters of Fayette county for the office of associate railroad commissioner he paid d dgnified tribute to Colonel ONeal. His picture of the state of Alabama after the Conner administration that of the little lover who held his Soo-pound sweetheart on his knee 90 minutes and said: I'm not tired. but I'm paralyzed,' brought down the house.

Safe Dealer in City

C. J. Thras her, head of the Thrasher Safe company of Montgomery, was in Birmingham last night and he thinks the south is in highly prosperous condi- ticn q am selling more safes than ever before in my life,'' said MT Thrash CT, and everywhere I go there is evi- del ce Of prosperity. This is especially true in the turpentino sections, in the places where there was a good cotton crop and in the mineral sections.
 Strange as it may seem the south is just now getting to the point where il realizes the necessity for safes and the safes are becoming very heavy. I am also a farmer and have been conduct ing my farm near Montgomery for sev- eral years with the help of a couple of overseers but the strain is almost too heavy and 1 am inclined to sell it out and devote my entire attention to the safe business.
 Birmingham is a great field and of right should have safe manufacturing riart. I am expecting in the near future to establish an agency here"

Birmingham and Other Cities

From all accounts Birmingham will make a phenomenal showing in the next census in the matter oe percentage gain over the census figures of 1s0o,' said Ben iaimn H. Rathborne of Washington, D. c. T happened to be in Birmingham soon after the last census was an- nounced-3S, ,OO0-and there was consider able disappointment because it was ex- pected that the figures would sreach something like 5000. But if the census this year gives the city anything like the gain will be over POO per cent. And not many cities will make as big show ing as that.
 Nearly all of the important southern cities will show good gains. I was in New Orleans last week. That city is going ahead fast, but 1t will have it's most remarkable growth between now and 1920 Atlanta has grown rapidly. but of the older cities with which I am famalar Richmond, Va, is the most surprising in it's expansion. It has grown from S5,0o0 in 1900 to about 120,0o0. About 10 years ago what was known as the Lee dis trict, so styled because the equestrian statue of Robert E. Lee stands there. was only an old field Today it is an elegant residence section. After years of agitation, Manchester on the southside of the James, is about to be annexed to Richmond. The terms have been prae- tically agreed to by both cities, but the consolidation will take place too late for Richmond to get the benefit of Manches- ter's 12. coo or 15,OOo population in the forth coming census.
 T have noticed in recent years that the Richmond people are quite jealous of Atlanta They keep a close eye on the Georgia metropolis and every move they make has some relation to Atlanta's position. It was not so 10 or 12 years ago; but the fact that Richmond has come to regard Atlanta as a rival and is now hustling to keep up with it, has been a good thing for the old Confederate cap ital. which was formerly noted for it's conservatism and it's air of indifference 10 the growth of its neighbors''
