VIADUCT PLANS
 ARE IN ABEYANCE
THEIR ACTION TO BE TAKEN UN- TIL THE NEW MAYOR AND AL DERMEN COME IN

That the viaduct question will not be preached again until Mayor-elect Gull pepper Exum takes office and the new aldermen are installed is the impression of local executive representatives of the various railroads who are interested In the proposed work. Since the passage of the plans twice by the Board of Alder men and the death of the late Mayor Frank P. O'Brien, the railroad represen- tatives have been under the impression that no further action would be taken until Mir Exum and the new adminis- tration takes hold of affairs.
 The railroads. it is said, were impatient to start work at least by January l. However this seems to be improbable at this time. It will require several weeks to secure a new proposal to be made the railroads as the new aldermen will doubt less have their own ideas concerning the work. It will take the same length of time to get the matter approved by the railroads. And the new year will then have been started.
 MT. Exum, who will begin as mayor early in October, Is very much in favor of viaducts or some other plan to relieve First avenue of it's danger, and he will very likely insist upon some action in his inaugural message.

What Walker County
 Will Bring To The Fair
BY FRANK V. EVANS

Walker county will have a good exhibit at the Alabama State Fair. The main feature will be the diversity of products. These will be specimens of coal, hard wood and pine lumber cotton, corrA wheat, oats, potatoes, rye, vegetables various kinds of fruit, live stock and poultry.
 There will be fine samples of octton cloth manufactured of Walker county cot ton, woven by native Walker county mill workers, in machinery propelled by steam produced by Walker county coal mined at the very door of the engine room. There will be an exhibit of leather, of harness and of horse collars manufac- tured in Jasper from the hides of native Walker county cattle
 There will be wagon hubs manufactured in Jasper from native hardwood of Walker county, these specimens coming from a factory here which turns out 800 of these hubs per day.
 This exhibit will occupy space in the agricultural building of the State Fair and will be in direct charge of one or two men who will explain and demon strate to all who are interested.
 This Walker county exhibit is now being assembled by committees from the Walker County Farmers union and Jasper Indus trial club, two live working organiza- | tions determined to take advantage of

MUCH DISCUSSION OF
 EXPORT COTTON PLAN

Within the coming few weeks a meeting of the American bankers and railroad men will be held, probably in New York, to discuss the refusal of European bankers to adopt the val idation plan as outlined by the rail- roads of the south. This is the opinion of Birmingham railroad men.
 The plan as outlined for local rail- roads was adopted by the banker and by the most careful persons 1t was believed the plan would be as safe as could be expected. However, the for eign f1nanciers insist that the export bills of lading be indorsed by the American bankers before they will make payments for the moving of the cotton crop.
 Railroad people here announce that the bill of lading validating plan will continue in effect as outlined several days ago until some further orders are received. The plan in effect unless changed very soon will be covering cotton shipments within the next few days as orders are believed to be pend ing now for export shipments.
 Just what plan will be agreed upon cannot be even guessed here, but the inclination seems to be that the fina an- cial interests will be compelled to take an initiative because 1t Is held the rail- roads have performed their part in tn solution up to the present time.

 DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
FRANK V. EVANS

democrats will have a substantial work ing majority next term. With a demo- cratic House and proba bly, the Senate legislation would be dead-locked with a republican President. It looks as though the democrats will again return to pow CT in all three branches of the national government. I have information that this impression is general among the leaders of our party. all of whom are decidedly jubilant over the present out look"
 Colonel Tomlinson said while matters looked somewhat squally in Tennessee, he did not believe the democrats would stand by and permit the republicans to walk into power over the sentimental is- sues which are trying to be injected into the campaign. He stated that he be- lieved the democrats of Tennessee firm enough to steady the boat as 1t rises upon the crest of the temporary gale.
