NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT UNDERWOOD
 AND HIS PROSPECTS FOR THE PRESIDENCY

the presidency of the state university at Tuscaloosa. pr. Denny is not only one of the ablest educators in this country, but he is a man of wonderful energy and enthusiasm. He is de- veloper in the highest sense of the word He built Washington and, Lee from university of less than 150 students to one of more than 600. He will do the same thing for the Uni versity of Alabama. and there is no reason under his leadership why this university should not, in a few years. become the standard educational in- stitution of the south.

 There has been some complaint here because of the delay in completing the wire mill at Corey This is, however. only temporary delay due, of course, to the threatened action of the De- partment of Justice. to dissolve the Steel corporation, or else separate the Tennessee company from it. Of course, such suits are annoying to the offi- cers in control of expenditures for new improvements in the corporation, but 1t is only a question of time when all these matters will be cleared up and the contemplated improvements, and many more will be made in this dis- trict The Steel corporation has nearly district, and I look for them to in- vest many more millions in the course of the next five years.
 The past year, of course, has been . bad one in the iron and steel business, and many concerns, not only in Alabama but elsewhere have failed to operate at full capacity, and have failed to mike any degree of profit. At the same time busi- ness is picking up now. Some of the small companies are consolidating for the purpose of cheaper opera tions, and I look for a great impetus in business within the next year after the political situation has settled down and the busi- ness interests shall know where they stand, so to speak

 As it is right now the activity in Bir- mingham is something unusual. Certainly there are lots of people with money who believe in Birmingham, for I happen to know of three different sets of men who are now figuring, and have plans drawn for three different hotels in different sec- tions of the city. Certainly one or more of them will be built at once. All three would undoubtedly pay.
 Although we have had period of sev- eral months of dpllness here, good times are opening up with brilliancy, and I look for a continuation.

THE LURE OF RAGTIA1E. She warbled ragtime every night, With all the strength she had; The neighbors round, in sorry plight, Appealed unto her dad.

1 tho present time that Wilson and Harmon will go before the democratic convention with almost equal strength. We all know it takes a two-thirds vote to nominate Underwood will certainly go in the con vention with the Alabama vote and with a good chance of having Texas, Georgia, perhaps South Carolina and maybe Ken lucky. Although Col. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Is ap- parently for Wilson he is a great admirer and personal friend of Underwood, as are thousands of other Kentuckians.
 So with a close fight in the conven- tion between Wilson and Harmon, with almost everybody for Underwood as sec ond choice, why shouldn't he be nomi- mated?
 If nominated I believe he will stand a better chance of election than any other we could name
 Of course, much will depend upon his conduct and leadership during the next session of Congress. But he has defined his policy, the country approves it, and the chances are that instead of weaken ing himself he will strengthen himself Therefore, I hope that Alabama will not mix things up by any second choice con- ditions. Let us select the best men in the state to go to the convention and send them unanimously instructed for Underwood. That's the way and the only way to win.
 It is a matter of small importance whether we elect the delegation to the national convention by a primary or by state convention. Either way they will be and should be solely and enthusiasti- cally for Underwood.
 I believe in the state of Alabama going about political affairs like the city of Birmingham goes about everything 1t does-notably the state fair of the past week. Birmingham went about this in it's usual hurrah and unanimous spirit and the entire state of Alabama aided her in making it the most successful fair ever held in this section of the south. The crowds have been enormous and the fair has not only been success from an instructive and entertaining point of view, but has been financially so successful that there will probably be a surplus sufficient to build handsome buildings for next years celebration.

K NY friend. Frank Glass. of the

K NY friend. Frank Glass, of the M Montgomery Advertiser and Bir-
 ninsham News, is advocating ed- itorially the policy that Alabama should send a delegation to the national demo- cratic convention for Oscar Underwood as first choice and Woodrow Wilson as sec ond choice
 It is thoroughly natural that MT. Glass should be for Woodrow Wilson as they were college mates and are personal friends. Again, undoubtedly Woodrow | Wilson Is an able scholar, a splendid char acter and of presidential timber. | At the same time the people of this country recognize in Underwood a more experienced statesman, better trained more conservative. and in every way bet ter fitted to occupy the presidential chair.
 Therefore, why should Alabama have any second ehoice9 Sending delegation for Underwod and instructing it as to second choice would be a mere empty compliment to the distinguished Ala bamian. It would simply mean to the country that Alabama merely wanted to give Underwod complimentary vote. It would be reflection, in a measure, upon his capabilities, his leadership and his ability.
 I believe that Alabama is for Under wood first, last and all the time; that we should send a delegation instructed for him-however the delegation might be se- lecteG-and in the event of failure leave it to the men of the delegation to act as they think best for democratic harmony aud democratic success.
 If we are to put forward Underwood &. all, let us put him forward with uranimity and determination to nominate him We want a democratic President next time, and 1 am frank in the state ment that I believe Underwood has the confidence of more people in this country than any other man yet suggested as a democratic presidential candidate.
 have just returned from two months' vacation spent in New England and New York. I have talked with lead ing statesmen, politicians, and editors of the great newspapers of this country. l have found almost every one in favor of one or another candidate, but have not heard one urge a single objection to Un- derwood, except that he comes from Ala bama. and it might be difficult to elect a southern man. I have found many Will son men and a number for Harmon. AL most without exception the Wilson men are for Underwood if they can't nominate Wilson and the Harmon men are for Un- derwood if they can't nominate Harmon

TWO BITS PURCHASED
 4 PECK OF TROUBLE
Man Who Stole Pin From E. A.. Marshall's Residence in the
 City Jail

With one small two-bit piece, Juan Owalds, Indian. purchased more trouble for himself New Years eve than the average man acquires in a whole year. He missed a drinking bout that he had been counting on having with himself raised a rough house, landed himself in the city jail, lost q fine opal pin which he had stolen, and narrowly missed having a charge of burglary lodged against him.
 Juan was feeling good Saturday night and he had an inward feeling that the only way he could work off his surplus energy was to get drunk in the white mans way. So he struck a Mexican. gave him d quarter and asked him to invest the cash in dago red-aforesaid red 10 be delivered to Juan.
 The Mexican accepted the money but he was a person with a soul above dagO red. He entered a near by saloon and spent the two-bits for two drinks of whiskey, lingering long over the drinking.
 About the time the Mexican was draining the last drop of the pre- cious mountain dew down his now well irrigated throat, Juan came in at the door. He had become tired of waiting and had decided to investi- gate. Juan wasn't born in 1910. or the year before that, and when he saw the man whom he supposed was his trusty ally gazing at the fires coed ceiling through some of the Sa- looms finest glassware he knew what had happened. Thereupon he pro- ceeded tO use language unbecoming a gentleman and in other ways to make a nuisance of himself. The bar tender called the police and Juan was put behind the bars.
 The next morning Marshal Moore noticed that Juan wore a very fine opal pin and began to ask questions. At first the Indian declared some one had given it to him as a Christ mas present, but Moore was not to be bluffed and very soon Juan had con fessed that he picked up the jewelry at a house on Westmoreland place, where he had been working as d cleaner. An officer took the pin 10 the residence Owalds described and found that it was F.. A Marshalrs place Sure enough the pin had been missed but no one knew whether the Indian had taken it from the house or picked it up in the yard, as he said he had done.
 Juan will be tried today on a charge of disorderly conduct.

ToEveryone
  and Forever

As the New Year opens, We want to put particular emphasis upon something about which we have been stating a good deal in our ads" from time to time.
 You ought to save money.
 We do not tell you this because We want you to in- vest your money through us. Of course, we expect that our lads" will bring Us business, but that is not our sole object in our ad- vertising.
 We have a genuine desire to help our clients and friends in every way pOssi- ble, and we. are convinced that we can give you no better New Years advice than to urge you to save regularly from your in- come.
 Even if you never invest, you should save for the rainy day that may come to you, but We believe that it is the duty of every person to invest, according to his means, in real estate.
 You make no mistake in following the example of hundreds of careful buyers who have made a handsome profit on their investments.
 Again wishing you a Happy New Year, we re- main. faithfully yours.
