NOCTURNAL VISIT IS
 PAID TO COUNTY JAIL

The wardens at the county jail were considerably startled last night when seven or eight white-clad figures walked in the door and calmly informed the men that they had captured the county jail. They demanded the keys.
 Warden Chew promptly locked himself in and drew his gun on the white-clad figures, telling them that he guessed that he would have something to say about that.
 After holding a whispered consultation among themselves they glided out and disappeared As the door banged after the last one the wardens breathed freely again. MT. Chew unlocked the door and restored his revolver to it's original posi- tion and promptly buried himself in "The Letters of Self-Made Merchant to His Son.
 He was not to rest long, however, for in a few minutes the door opened to ad- init the Presbyterian Buddies, Sunday school class from the First Presbyterian church. with request to be shown over the iail. The class had permission from Sheriff Higdon and they were taken through the Jail.
 There were about 25 in the party and when they came to the cell of w. M. Bai- ley, who is serving a 20-year sentences he made them a talk. His speech was en- tirely impromptu. The youngsters were considerably impressed.
 Bailey told them what to do to be a man, with capital M" He also told them how to keep out of jail and pointed to the inevitable consequence of wrong doing. The talk was very impressive.

MCCORMACK RETURNS
 FROM FLORIDA TRIP

IT E. Mccormack, vice president and general manager of the Pratt Consoli- dated Coal company, who owns an ex- tensiye orange plantation in Florida, re- turned yesterday from an inspection of his property and other fruit sections since the storm of a few days ago. He said that at this time no estimate could he formed of the ultimate damage. How ever. MT. Mccormack said his trees were full and fine, which indicated that . large harvest would result.
 .'The storm damage was seriously over estimated. according to my way of think ing" said MT. Mccormack. T have large number of trees scattered over about 300 acres and they were not dam aged to any great extent. It is true that some damage resulted, but it was chiefly of a temporary nature. Some ripe fruit was shaken from the trees and thus lost. but the greatest quantity Is yet 10 mature My trees were not damaged at all. The storm seemed to have skipped my place along with various other ones.
 "At places in the state the damage was greater than at mine or others. The state this year will come out with fine fruit harvest provided nothing results between now and gathering time. The mast trouble has left the state in good condition. and If that is the only thing that is soaring the people that may be dismissed for about 10 per cent of It's first effects"

HENRY WESTFALL GOES
 WITH MONON ROUTE

Henry Westfali, former superintendent of the Atlanta division of the Southern Railway company, has been appointed general manager of the Monon railroad according to an announcement here yes- terday. His appointment was made by Fairfax Harrison, president of the Mon on, who was formerly vice president of the Southern railway.
 At the time of his appointment MT Westfall was general superintendent of the Chicago and Alton, having been ap- pointed to that position by c. H. Ackert formerly vice president of the Southern Railway company.
 The new general manager of the Monon Is comparatively young and began his railroad work in the south. His first po- sition of large responsibility was super intendent of the Southern at Atlanta. He served in that capacity for many years. During his incumbency he visited Bir- mingham and contributed good will and wise council to many important railroad projects in this section. From that posi- ton MT. Westfal went to Greensboro as general superintendent of the Southern. He resigned to go with the Chicago and Alton as general superintendent, prin- cipally on account of his friendship for Mir Ackert.
 He was succeeded at that place by H. E. Hutchins, who was for two years general superintendent here. MT. West fall is well remembered in Birmingham and has a host of friends who will be interested to learn of his advancement. The rivalry for his services plainly indi- cated both by MT. Ackert and MT. liar rison is some acknowledgment of an unusual grasp on railroad affairs.

DIX VICTORY WILL
 MEAN EXPANSION
Otto Marx Back From New York Says Financial Interests Would Fear
 Roosevelt omination

That the election of democratic tick ct in New York will mean renewed pros perity, but that if Stimson is elected governor the corporation interests will withhold developments was the terse analysis of the conditions given by Otto Mark, who returned from New York yesterday.
 He said among the most conservative ly inclined f1nancers and bankers in New York the election of Dix was in their opinion the one way for immediate expansion. On the other hand, MT. Marx said the election of Stimson would be taken as a Roosevelt victory and that a decidedly pessimistic view of the fu- ture would thereupon be taken.
 q look for a speedy and safe revival of business if MT. Dix is elected gov ernor of New York; said MT. Marx. However, if he should be defeated the business world will simply wait on pros .pective developments until a safer time arrives. The people of New York are resisting the efforts to boss of the only living ex-President, and the chances are that his first serious rebuke will be ad- ministered one week from today. when the election is held. As sure as fate Dix will be elected governor and MT. Roosevelt placed on the cooling board. politically. He has overstepped his bounds. On power he has become drunk en and like every temporarily great pop ular leader, he has reached his zenith.
 "Other than the uneasiness felt about the election, conditions are more assur- ing. Business has opened up very re- markedly since the cold days came and the merchants are feeling very optimis- tic. Everything will be in excellent con- dition if MT. Dix is elected governor of New York"
