 Former Senator N. L. Miller visited Montgomery yesterday to mingle with the solons and attend to some legis- lative work in which he is interested He has been engaged to look after some industrial measures at Montgom- cry, and while the bills have not come up yet. he Is getting in touch with con- ditions.
 "The various fights being waged in Montgomery" he said. "are very in teresting to the outsider. l am rather well pleased that I am not charged with the responsibility of passing up some of the laws desired. The law makers. however. are seemingly well poised and anxious to do the right thing"
 Col. J. c. Maben. president of the Sloss-Sh Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany, returned last night from Mont gomery. He has been to the capital in the interest of the mine laws which are to be considered by the legisla- ture within the next few days. Colonel Maben said he enjoyed his trip to the capital very much and found it rather interesting to witness the deliberations of the lawmakers.
 Louis Pizitz, the well known merchant, returned with the Board of Trade dele tive committee regarding an appropria- ton for state fairs
 The success meted out to the last one we held here is sufficient to show how valuable the fairs are," he said. And in our struggles to make Alabama and Bir- mingham attractive to the people at large, 1t is as little as the state can do to make slight appropriation for this work It is valuable to every part of the state and will be returned at a great rate of interest The legislators are strug- gling under great mass of legislation, but I predict they will come out better than any body of lawmakers which has met in Montgomery in many years"
 Burr Ferfguson, the manufacturers agent, was in Montgomery yesterday, trying to secure favorable consideration of plan having as its object the enforce ment of sanitation in all dairies in the state. He conferred with many of the state officials and seemed to be en- couraged last night when he returned over the chances for great reformation of existing inadequate laws.
 Sanitary methods and betterment of all commodities used by the people are progressive moves and should receive the Endorsement of the state folk said MT. Ferguson.
 ''I am working on the dairy sanitation measures before the legislature and hope to be successful. It will be a great hour for the state when such great forward move Is taken

 Robert A. ("Buster'o Brown, was a member of the Chamber of Commerce delegation visiting Montgomery yester- day. He was one of the committee mak- ing a short talk to the legislative com mittee pointing out the value of an ap- propriation for a state fair.
 ''The local option measure, the commis- sion form of government and the anti pass repeal are the three measures at- tracting the spotlight" said MT. Brown. "The action to be taken upon those meas ures Is attracting the widest attention and when they are passed upon one day or the other the whole session will be prac- tically over. The local option measure of the administration is of great import ance and no one Is bold enough to ven- ture an opinion as to its final outcome"
