 Chicago, Ill, March Il. 1911. 'L. Hechinger, Secretary, Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Sir: l read the book. you sent with great interest and believe now that your section is good place for man with moderate means to make a start. My son and myself will come down this fall and if everything is like the book tells you can count on us to stay there. We want place from 10 to 20 acres to raise vegetables. There are dozen or more gardeners around here who want to go south and if we bring good re- port they will come to Birmingham also. My son and l went to Florida last Win ter and looked at some lands which were advertised. The land was swampy and wet and they asked $50 an acre. I believe we would have had to spend $o on an acre to raise $3 worth of vegetables, and then we could not sell them, as there IS no market around there. If we can buy land as you say for s25 to $50 an acre near a railroad and not too far for Blrming- ham, we will move there and brlng d cozen more families who want to move to a mild climate and a good market TOT vegetables and poultry. Will write you again. Yours respectfully,
 FRITZ HOLLENBECk.

COMMISSION BILL AGAIN IN TROUBLE Must Go Back for Further
 Amendment NEW ERROR FOUND Governor Finds That Enrolling Clerk Left Out Whole Line in Copy
 ing Bill for Governors
 Signature
By BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, March 2O.-(Special.)- The Birmingham commission govern ment bill will again be returned to the house and senate for amendment. Another clerical error has been dis covered in the measure-an error in enrollment-and when the legislature convenes on Wednesday the instru- ment will be returned by the governor to the two houses in order that this slight mistake may be rectified.
 The governor has already returned the measure to the legislature twice without his approval, the first time to suggest several important changes Tn the bill among which was the creation of A judicial office in the new form or government and the second time to suggest the correction of some clerical errors which had occurred in the en- rollment of the bill.
 The commission bill as amended the second time was returned to the gov ernor last Friday afternoon. It was then thought that he bill was cor rect in every respect and that there would be no further obstacle in the way of its approval by the governor.
 In examining the measure, however, the chief executive discovered that a line had been omitted in enrolling the bill line pertaining to the ellgipll-

International Bible Students to Hear C. J. WOodworth Next

The local class of international Blple students has secured the services or c. J. Woodwork. an able Bible lec- turer of New York, for discourse to the Birmingham public Sunday, March 26. The subject of the lecture Will De, Which Is the True Gospel?' theme of universal interest, especially at this time when there are so many conflict ing theories presented MT. Woodworth is said to be profound and carefui student of the Bible and is well pre- pared to set forth it's teaching on the subject and to show thinking people how reasonable and harmonious the scriptures are when properly ap- preached.
 These Bible students are entirely un- denominational but welcome to join in with them in Bible study all who wish a more satisfactory understanolng of the scriptures.
 Former lectures given under their auspices have attracted a great deal of attention from many persons in the city and the attendance at the lee ture is likely to be large.

of Woodcraft only meets every two yearS in Alabama, and the business that must be transacted is enormous, I barely had time in which to lay my plans before the convention, but the ideas suggested were well taken and the membership in the state are very enthusiastic over the erec- tion of home for indigent members of the order. The plans were referred to the proper committees, and I feel the Woodmen of the World will soon have 6 home in Alabama similar to that of the Odd Fellows home located at Cullman. What time that I can possibly spare to the work will be given to getting the matter squarely before the membership of the state between now and the next meeting of the head camp.
 The property owned by c. c. Scheuing. on Second avenue west, which has been used for the past two years as a livery barn, has been purchased by G. s. Leeth. The building will be torn away and in- stead of livery business, MT. Leeth will erect two large storerooms, making the building two stories high and the second floor will be used as office rooms. This is very valuable property. located in the heart of the city. embracing 30 feet front by 100 feet back Mir, Leeth paid 5000 for the property.

 PLAN CELEBRATION
Montgomery Organization Proposes to Set Aside "City De-
 velOpment Day"

Montgomery, March 20.-(Special.) .)-The Business Mems league of Montgomery Is planning city development day celebra- ton for some time during the month Of April. The idea was suggested some days ago by the city development committee of the league, and the proposition cre- ated so much favorable comment that the officers and directors of the league at once decided to hold the celebration
 It is proposed to have the city off cials, the various womens clubs of the city, and other municipal organizations participate in the exercises. The princi- pal theme of the speeches on that occa- sion will be srfwhat we have got The celebration is designed for no other pur- pose than to exploit the numerous things which the city has done, and what 1t has in the way of fine buildings, parks, streets and resources.
 While the Business Mems league has not yet decided definitely upon any pro- granime it has been proposed that a meeting be first held at the auditorium of the league, from which place the city

always trying to cut something out, jew the contractor down. and by so doing he usually has to suffer, for if the contrac- tor is honest in, his original intentions to give fist-class joo at the price he figured, how can he do the same class job for less money. He can't do it, that is all, and the first-class contractor won't be jewed down: What Is the result? The job goes to the 'yannigan' contractor, and the poor fellow who is preparing to build a home, what does he get? Grief, galore, trials and tribulations, all because he thought he could save a few paltry dollars. The final outcome of the whole thing in great many instances is the poor fellow who is preparing to build a home is compelled 10 take the contract away from the 'yannigan' and either pay more to have his home completed than the first-class contractor'ss bid was, or let it stand. and how many will do that? In the past two years I know of five jobs which the owners either had to take from the 'yannigan,' or else replace the
 yannigan' who had left for parts un- known heavily overdrawn on his job, causing a loss to the owners of about thirty hundred dollars ($s700l enough to build another tuberculosis sanitarum ortwo. Are such conditions to continue! l truly nope not.
 "The remedy to the above is in many forms, but as suggestion from one among
 many l honestly believe that the con tractors themselves, with the assistance of the architects and cooperation of the building material men of Birmingham, can eliminate the 'yannigan contractor from the field and thereby render a lasting, favor to the man who is going to build. His architect knows who are reliable contractors, men who will build according to plans and specifications and not sub stitute an article because he can save few pennies thereby. Let him rely on his architects judgment and past expert ence. After he has received all bids let the architect give him certificate to the secretary of the builders and contrac- tors exchange (of which neither my firm or myself are members) which will en- title him to an inspection of the stand ings of the different contractors at the time of his letting. This alone will elim- nate the 'yannigan' contractor and give to the first-class contractor the oppor- tunity of erecting building which will stand as ornaments to our already beau tiful Birmingham.

 Every team shoots on its home range under the supervision of judge ap- pointed by the National Rifle associa- ton of America with headquarters at Washington, D. c. The results ot each team are forwarded to the secretary of the league at Washington by the judges The results are then wired to the clubs of the league The rules of the league require that all results of the matches shall be forwarded to Washington, not to reach there later than Friday night of the week they are shot, otherwise they will be for feited to the opposing team. This duty is left entirely with the judges and to Col. Charles l.. Ledbetter. who was appointed judge for the B. A. C.. Is due credit for his faithful attention in serv- ing the local team by forwarding the results promptly to Washington, thus avoiding the possibility of having a match forfeited that was won. The shooting is done indoors at distance of 75 feet. The target has 10 counts, the size of the bulls eye Is the exact size of silver dollar. In the bull 8 eye are three counts, 8. g and 10; the g circle is the size of quarter, the 10 circle the size of halfdime. To make the average of $50. as the local team has recorded, over 75 per cent of the shots fired have to come within this Inner circle The local team Is to be congratulated on the splendid showing

STRAWBERRY CROP
 ID BE ENORMOUS

Cullman, March 20.-(Specia1)-Th Gull man county strawberry crop promises to be the largest this year in history, and the German truck growers are making extensive preparations for the handling of the crop through their organized asso- citations. There was considerable sus- pense regarding the outcome of the cold weather, but instead of doing consider able damage it has been found that the cold snap had the effect of setting the crop back far enough to overcome any other cold weather that might come on before the genuine spring weather opened up.
 The non-jury term of the county court convened in Cullman Monday morning, Judge Robert I. Burke presiding.
 l.. N. Buell.. secretary of the board of trustees of the Odd Fellows home of Cullman has returned from Mobile. where he attended the meeting of the head camp, Woodmen of the World, of Ala bama, which has just closed very sue cessful session in that city m
 MT. Buell. proposed to put on foot the erection of similar institutions to that of the Odd Fellows for the Woodmen of the World in Alabama. In speaking of the project MT. Buell. said:

ity of officers, and the measure was again sent to the enrolling department with the request that it be prepared by Wednesday.
 When the two houses convene Wed nesday the bill will be presented to them for this further amendment and It is believed that the measure will reach the governor some time during the day So far as is known there is absolutely no objection to the bill on the part of the governor and when this slight correction, has been made 1t is anticipated that the executive will approve the document at the earliest possible moment. Il is possible that the bill may be signed by next Thurs day.
 The Birming ngh am commission govern ment bill nas certainly passed through various vicissitudes since it first en- tered the legislative arena, but the trip to final signature on the part of the states chief executive has been the stormiest one in the history of any bill that ever pleaded for passage. Imme- diately upon introduction of the meas ure in the house of representatives the fight on the part of citizens of Bir- mingham to secure such commission CTS as they really though would be the best for the Magic City. was begun, and continued unabated until the i'm pression prevailed that Judge A. C. Lane and Harry Jones would be named to cooperate with Mayor Exum in the work. Even prior to this, however, Mir Percy, who wrote the commission gov ernment bill, had to so amend his measure as to permit the commission CTS to. be appointed by the governor, rather than elected. in order to secure peace in the Birmingham delegation.
 When the measure had finally eased it's way through the state bodies it rested on the governors desk for five days. when it was sent back to the
 house for such amendments as the chief executive thought would be best for the measure. These amendments were concurred in by the two houses, after which the bill again went to the chief executives desk.
 This time the measure again rested on the gubernatorial table, where 1t remained for another six days. It was then returned because of joker" in the measure which permitted the city to have commissioners only below the age of 25 years. When 1t was returned Ito the two houses to have the joker
 removed other amendments were sug- gested by the executive at that same time which were readily concurred in Again the measure went to the gov ernor, with the result this time as in dicated above. On Wednesday the bill will be again
 sent to the two houses and 1t must be corrected at once if it hopes to stand any chance of being passed with the governors approval at this session Of the solons It is a sure thing that the measure can be amended to death, but no one anticipates such consumma- ton.

officials and delegations from the various women's clubs of the city and other or ganizations will proceed in automobiles to the new Sidney Lanier high school where short exercises will be held.
 From the high school the members of the league, city officials and others will go to Oak park, at which place the principal exercises of the day will be held Several hours will be spent at Oak park, during which time a number of speeches will be made and luncheon will be served.
 It is proposed to make the day a great success. It is not intended that the celc- bration shall be any other than an ex- position of what Montgomery has, with out any reference to what the city pro- poses to do in the future, or to the things which are in contemplation.
