BIRMINGHAM IS TO
Be congratulated

Upon being chosen by West Bros as
headquarters for the distribution of the
Duntley Pneumatic cleaners. for which
they are state agents, the Duntley Manu-
featuring company are to be congratu-
lated In securing Messrs. West Bros. to
represent them. Mr.. James H. West, the
senior member of the firm. is perhaps
the oldest electrician in point of service
In the south. He began his career with
the Vandepoele Electric company of Chi
cago in 1885 and installed the first cleo
trio railway in the United States in the
city of Montgomery, Ala, in 1886. Mr.
West organized the West Electric and
Manufacturing company in Montgomery
in 1899, being president and principal
owner. A few months ago he sold his
interest in the above company to accept
the agency of the Duntley cleaners Mr.
Robert West the Junior member of the
Arm, has charge of the Montgomery office
of the firm.
carried off the highest awards in compe-
tition with every known make of vacuum
cleaner, two recent ones being at Seattle
and London, England.
The Duntley Is the only cleaner made
that Is equipped with universal motors
which will operate on both direct and
alternating current, this being an I'M
usual and exclusive feature OF this ma
chine, and one that every prospective
purchaser should investigate before buy
ing. Another very strong feature of this
cleaner is the blowing feature. 1t has
a double-wall can. perfectly air tight
hence there is no leakage of air around
the bottom of the can. The result is that
all air drawn into can Is exhausted only
through opening to which the blowing
hose is connected. consequently the full
power of the machine can be used for
blowing dust and dirt from places that
are inaccessible to the suction. We make
special mention of the various attach
ments that are furnished with these
cleaners Every one is made of aluminium
and are especially adapted to their vari-
GUS usages.
The Duntley company are the only
manufacturers that make seven different
sizes of vacuum cleaners. They range
in price from SIS to $135, therefore being
adapted to any kind of service. from the
lightest to the heaviest.
Mr.. West Is located at $40 South
Twentieth street, where customers will
be welcome to see the Duntley cleaners
In aculal operation, or he will gladly
send a machine to any home for trial.
Mr.. West also states that these machines
can be rented by the housekeepers at a
small cost. thereby getting the benefit
Of vacuum cleaning without investing in
machine. This system of cleaning is
very sanitary and has been in general
use throughout the north for several
| years and we predict rapid progress for
! It In the south.

an aerial flight Of more than six miles
across the city, Claude Grahame.
White, the English aviator, Friday
dropped his aeroplane at the side door
Of the White House.
On the way, at a height of nearly
500 feet, he circled the dome of the
capitol and passed the lofty Washing
ton monument level with the apex.
He landed where the slightest devia'
ton from his course would have i'm
paled him upon the spikes Of the iron
fence around the White House
grounds at his right or smashed him
against the granite wall at his left.
The airship struck the asphalt paved
street squarely in the middle and
rolled 200 feet. Admiral George Dewey
was on the spot to offer congratula
tons. Other officials Of the army and
navy, including Acting Secretary Of
War Oliver and Maj.-Gen. Wood, add
ed their words of commentator.
An hour later White assembled from
the spot where he landed and re
turned to his starting point-the Ben
nings race track-without a mishap.
White started shortly after II
o'clock In the forenoon. He rose tc
a height of 500 feet by circling about
the grounds, and then darted away to
ward the city, six miles distant. Max
ing his object point the towering
Washington monument, the air man
upon reaching this point, turned his
machine northward and sailed directly
over the White House.
He then sailed directly toward Elk
ecutive avenue and with a quick de
scent brought the biplane to the pae
ment. The flight had occupied only
ten minutes.
Having paid a formal call upon Brig.
Gen. Allen, White was invited to par
take of luncheon with officers Of the
army and navy at a nearby club. In
an hour he was back again.

Although the proposed charge fol
guaranteeing is only 6 or Z cents a
bale, Southern cotton men contend in
the aggregate such a scheme would
place a heavy burden on the planter
broker and merchant.
Such a plan lis an insult to the rep
utable cotton firms of the South" is

prominent Atlanta business men are
quoted as declaring that whatever is
done, at will come out of the farm

Resolutions passed by the Houston
Cotton Exchange declare it ian unjust
tax" and similar resolutions have been
passed by the cotton exchange at Dial
las, while the resolutions of the New
Orleans exchange assert that "the pro
posed guarantee proposition would
single cotton out from all other pro,
ducts and make it the peculiar object
of discrimination and burdensome cor
