Acting upon the impulse Of the mo-

Senator Blount's cars were in the city.
The garage manager replied that the
big roadster was in, and Blount's de-
eision was taken upon the spur Of the
moment.
A few minutes later he was behind
the steering wheel Of the fast machine.
picking his way out Of town.
Blount reached the entrance TO the
cottonwood shaded avenue at War
trace just before the dinner hour, and
he was so far recovered from the at
tack Of righteous indignation that he
was able to meet his father and the
others with a fair degree of equanim-
ity.
In the back part Of his mind, how
ever, he held the lighting .ultimatum in
suspense.
At the dinner table the professor
held forth dictatorially upon matters
pertaining solely to the pliocene age
and never once suffered the table con-
versation TO come within several mil
lions of years of the twentieth cen

who led the way tothe drawing room
and persuaded Patricia TO go to the
piano.

determination in the back part Of his
brain was willing enough to listen to
Grieg and Brahms as interpreted by
Patricia, but the greater matter was
still outweighing the lesser Later,
when Miss Anners had played herself

looped back portieres he could hear

IN THE DESERT.

wELLsPRING IN THE DESERT
@N the telephone station at the ho-
tel Blount tried several times,
81 and always Intellectually, to get
long distance connection with
Wartrace Hall. Failing in this, he
called up Gantry to ask if the traffic
manager knew anything about the pur
poses and movements of his father.
Gantry did not know. but he knew
something elsa thing which proved
the leakiness of the telegraph depart
ment.
Come down here and tell me what
you mean by sending incendiary tele-
grams to the vice president" he COM
manded, with jesting severity, over
the phone.
Gantry was busy with the stenogra-
pher when Evan entered, but the traf-
fc manager Immediately postponed
the business of the moment and dis
missed the clerk.
There is nothing to tell-more than
you seem already to know" said
Blount morosely in answer to Gantry's
quest. 81 have wired my resignation;
that is ALL"
"But why?" persisted Gantry.
Because 1 am not going to be an
accessory either before or after the

prompt rejoinder.

checked himself abruptly and went
back to the principal contention: "But

think it over"
Blount sprang from his chair in a
white heat.
"Do you mean to tell me that you
are already holding it up?' he de-
manded.
81 took the liberty temporarily" said
the traffic man coolly. There is no
harm done. Mr.. Mcvickar is or his
way west now. and he will be here in
q day or two. Why not kill the mes
sage and have it out with him in per-
son when he comes?"
But Blount was not to be appeased.

have given an sorder to have that tele-
gram held out you can give another TO

"All right" said Gantry, lust as
you say" And he made no effort to
detain the enraged one when Blount
turned his back and strobe away. But

TWO SEEK PLACES
 ON COMMISSION A Number of Montgomery Business Men Suggest
 ed for Places

Montgomery, March 25. 5.(-Special)-Oui of the large number of business men oi this city who have been suggested for the office of commissioners under the new bill for Montgomery. only two can- didates have so far announced. These candidates are Frank Stollenwerck ano W. A. Saffold, both of whom are vel known business men of this city. Messrs Stollenwerck and Saffold had been fol some time mentioned as probable can didates. the friends of each urging hin to announce for the office of commis- sioner.
 Both Messrs Stollenwerck and Saffod have long been recognized as among the most substantial business men of the city Each has had wide, practical business experience. and each enjoys the confi- dence of the various industrial and con- mercial interests of the city.
 MT. Stollenwerck is the vice-presdent of the First National Bank of Mont gomery, and is allied with other we'll known business interests. MT. Saffold Is the manager of a large and flourishing insurance agency. and is one of the of ficers of the Montgomery clearing house association.
 Neither Mir Stollenwerclx or MT. Saf- fold has ever served as city officials m any capacity, and the friends of each believe they stand an excellent chance of election.
 It is anticipated that other candidates will enter the race for commissioners.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-26

During the past few days the citizens of Montgomery have taken considerable in- terest in the selection of candidates for the office of commissioners, and it IS probable that other well known business and professional men of the city may announce as candidates.
 A political club, composed of more than one hundred we'll known young men of the city, was recently formed for the purpose of assisting in the selection of desirable candidates. This organization, which is represented by a large number of the most prominent young men of the city, will lend its efforts to secure the election of the most desirable officials that can be obtained
 So far this organization has not sug- gested any names for the office of com missioners, though it Is understood that a large number of the members are de- termined to support MT. Stollewerck and MT. Saffold.
 Other possible candidates who have been prominently mentioned are E. B. Joseph, president of the Business Mems League; R. J. Chambers, formerly vice president and business manager of the Montgomery Light and Water Power company; Judge w. H. Thomas, former JuuBe Ol lHe Clly court oI MoHlSoIleIy, and James Parrish.
 All of these men have been prom inently mentioned for commissioners, an1 it Is probable that one or two of them may announce as candidates. All of them are known to have the matter under advisement, and the announcement that one or all of them had decided to enter the race would cause little surprise.
 Citizens of Montgomery are more in- terested in commission form of govern ment than they have been at any time in the past. Leading business and pro- fessional men who heretofore have taken no part whatsoever in the politics of the city are manifesting the keenest in- terest in the situation, and are deter mined to give to Montgomery commits sioners of the highest and most trust worthy tyne

I don't have any more desire for alcohol than if I had never taken a drink in my life, and besides 1t scares me when think of it. You will never get the chance to treat me again, don't think. will encourage every poor unfortunate that is in the fix I was to come to you, and if there is speck of manhood left in him you will restore 1t. Of course, there are some that you can't do any thing for much, but that is not the case with me. I would not take s10.Q0O today for the good you did me, for the money would not do me any good if I was to start drinking again. We'll it would take me all day to explain all about the way I feel about the James Sanatorium' so you can judge for yourself the rest. I will close for this time, wishing you suc- cess. Respectfully.

eral agricultural sections in the state, While there are more fertile lands in the state, these are surprisingly productive, and are being titled by intelligent white farmers. There are but few large plan tations and but few tenants Most of the farmers own their own homes and are substantial. loyal citizens.
 The county is well watered Three considerable streams, the Sipsey and North rivers and Floating Turtle creek all traverse the county from north to south with their innumerable tributaries, The bottom lands along these streams are very fertile and the uplands are well up with the average of such lands in the state
 The agricultural activities in the county will always give the town of Fayette substantial support.
 Besides this the oil and gas operations in the immediate section will contribute largely to the commercial activity of the town.

Favette. one of the fairest and most promising towns in Alabama, is in ashes.
 The shock came without warning and before the panic-stricken citizens could realize what was happening S500,OO0 of values went up in smoke or crumbled into smouldering ash
 But the flames did not or could not de- stroy the strong hearts and the courage of the men who stood back and watched progress of the devourlng force.
 The strongest of them, while the tim bers of their stores and offices were cracking and melting, were laying plans in their minds of larger and better bulld- ings.
 Let the flames clean the lot of all the ruin,' they argued to themselves. Tt will save me the trouble and expense l have needed a better and larger building for a long time. Though l hate to lose my stock, I can manage somehow to buy another"
 Flames, floods, storms and earth auakes do not destroy towns like Fay cite. They rise again with new strength and are better and grander for the sac rince and effort Remember Albertvlle. which just two years ago was destroyed by cyclone. The destruction was even more disastrous than was wrought at Fayette Friday morning. Lives of prec- ious members of families were lost at Albertville besides widespread destruc- tion of property in town and over the surrounding country.
 But all this did not discourage the people of Albertville. In two years they have built a larger and better city. The buildings are more substantial and the town is on much better and more pros porous basis than ever before. No lives were lost at Fayette. No one seems to have been injured. Most of the property damaged was only a part of the holdings of the possessors. It is a serious loss but Is not ruinous.
