On business.
I'VE have every facility for the build
ing of a great Industrial city and thu
opportunities are being rapidly devel-
cped. We have more iron in easy reach
of Gadsden than any other city in the
south. We also have an abundance of
coal limestone and the many other
mineral resources to make rich and
busy Industrial center. In addition to
all this we have singularly fine freight
facilities and a river that is as large
and commodious as the Hudson at AL
bsny.
I'VE already have the largest rod, wire
and nail mill in the world, and there are
a number of other important plants seek
ing location in the vicinity.
Birmingham is, Of course a great city
and always will be, but there is room in
this great state and district for two
powerful cities, and Gadsden is to be the
greater of the two. This is my honest
opinion The people Of Gadsden have
the nerve to do things and this is help
ing wonderfully in the advancement of
the city's growth. Our people surprised
less enterprising sections when they re-

washington and the other southwes-
tern counties of the state are coming to
the front quite rapidly. They are being
settled up with a good class of farmers
who are adopting scientific methods of
cultivation and the result is very satisfac>

readily to intelligent cultivation
r. B. Thompson of Cullman was In Bir-

Thompson is engaged in the real estate
business at Cullman. devoting special at
tention to the development Of farm lands.
He has recently inaugurated a new field
of agricultural opportunity that prom
ises much to the farmer who wants to
diversity his crops and increase the re-
turns per acre On his farm. He is intro
ducing the growing Of broom corn. To
give market for the product Mr.. Thomp-
son has himself organized company and
built broom factory at Cullman This
plant began operation about two weeks
ago and the prospect for good business
is very bright, says Mr. Thompson.
1--WE have induced number Of the
farmers in the county to plant broom
corn for the market this year. We have
already promised total Of $50 acres In
broom corn for this year, and we believe

that this will be largely increased next

that this will be largely increased next
year. said Mr.. Thompson.
THE Cullman county soil will produce
broom corn readily and the crop should
be very profitable one for the farm
ers of the county. There is strong and
increasing demand for the material. The
present price of the product Is $40 per
ton. One acre of Cullman soil will pro-
duce ton of broom corn.

come one of the paying industries of the

By WALTER HARPER.

David A. Grayson of Huntsville was
registered at the Hotel Hillman. Mr..
Grayson Is one of the prominent at
torneys and politicians of the state.
T. H. Somerville, a prominent mer-
chant of Aliceville, spent yesterday in
Birmingham on business. He was reg
istered at the Morris hotel.
"Aliceville is one of the most active
little towns in west Alabama" said
Mr.. Somerville. 1.-THE town is new, only
seven or eight years old. but is grow
ing very rapidly. 1t already has a
population of more than 1900.
1.-THE town sprung up after the build
ing of the CarroIlton Short line of rail-
road down from Reform by John T..
Cochrane. The site of Aliceville was
marshy swamp at the time Of the
building of the road. This was the
terminus Of the road for some time,
and the depot was simply small plat
form of rough boards where freight
was loaded and un1oaded.
THE surrounding country was very
fine for agricultural purposes and has
developed very rapidly during the past
five years. The railroad is now be-
ing extended across the river and will
soon be connected all the way to Mobile
as the Alabama. Tennessee and North
ern railroad. This WILL be one of the
most important lines in the state when
completed, as 1t will give the most
direct line from the Birmin CHAM dis
trict to the gulf. Many good towns
are springing up along the line and
Alicev:lle is keeping we'll in the lead as
trading center"

of the board of trustees of the state
normal sch DOL at Livingston.
''The men connected with the state
department of education are very much
pleased with the overwhelming sue
cess of H. j. Willingham. who was
nominated at the recent primary for
state superintendent of education" said
Mr.. Gunnels.
His overwhelming majority over his
two opponents is considered as vim
dication and an Endorsement of the pol
icies of the present administration Of
the department. Mr.. Willingham has
been connected with the department for
a long time and has helped in the shap-
ing of its present policies.
you will remember that 1t was
charged that willingham was backed by
the teacher trust OF the state. what

was supported by the teachers Of the
state. 1t also appears that a majority
of the people Endorsed their choice for
a superior in the office"

suit for divorce can be instituted.
The trial Judge should have the power
to bring offending persons into court by
warrant and inflict punishment as part
of the divorce proceedings.
Publication of the filing of the petition
for divorce should be required in the
community where the couple lives.

I'VE see less Nberality toward persons
