DRIVER HERE AND
 TALKS OF HOTELS
Says the Mississippi Resorts Are Growing More and More POpu-
 lar Each Season

William N Driver, formerly of Bir- mingham, now general manager of the Great Southern hotel at Gulfport, Is in Birmingham visiting his parents. He is en route to various northern cities to get in touch with the tourists who will make trips to the south this win ter.
 MT. Driver said yesterday that Gulf port and other resorts other than the Florida places were becoming more popular every season. He. will visit Cincinnati, Chicago. Louisville, Detroit and other points on his tour for visitors to the south.
 At a vast expense we have arranged at Gulfport oEe of the really home-like resorts" said MT. Driver. The hotel under our management at Gulfport compares favorably with many of the large ones in Florida and could not be situated In more ideal surround ing. Our golf tournaments this sea- son will attract a great many golfers. The popularity of Mississippi resorts Is being more and more emphasized. Last season We turned away guests for the want of room and this season we will have, I certainly hope as many as last season. We are prepared, how ever to give accomm odations to more tourists than ever before
 "The citizens of Birmingham visit with us a great deal and they seem to be much pleased"
 Mir Driver began his hotel experi- ence at Opelika and since that time has gone up the ladder until his achieve ments have been notable for such a young man. He said yesterday that 1t had been some time since he had given any thought to hotel in Birmingham large enough to be in keeping with the city.
 "Mv experience has been that hotel investment is not eagerly sought by the money holders,' he said. Not that if is unsafe but there is an element of dancer and the return is not sufficient | lv odeouate to cover that feeling of unrest.
 of there should result some condi- tion under which no restriction would be placed as to the, use of liquors at hotels here, l should not be surprised to see one financed in Birmingham without much delay. The revenue from a high class saloon attached to f1rst class hotel such as Birmingham wants so badly, is an item that cannot be ignored in financing such a proposi- tion.''

Cause of Revolution

To hold quiet personal revolution in Birmingham on account of house rent would be a novel idea. But to overthrow the state of Hayti and elect a new Pres ident, all for the sake of free house rent fin the presidential palace, is to say the least, going some.''
 That however, Is the net reason of the recent cyclonic revolution in Hayti, according to a note received here yester- 9ay from Vert H. Peace of this city.
 With a party of four local engineers, MT. Peace is doing some engineering on Sfe National railway in that turbulent lit tie island. The party left here some two months ago accompanied by the secre- tary of the railroad corporation.
 MT Peace says that because four ebony-hued Haytians desired to live rent free in the presidential palace sur rounded by palm trees and waited upon by more ebony-hued sons of rest, the revo- lution which was so mnutely described for the benefit of American financial in terests was precipitated.
 The Birmingham boy points out that four generals imbued with the pardon able ambition of living rent free start B revolution every few months He seri- cusly points out that the reports sent out Of pillaging, murders and demonstrations nre very much exaggerated. On the con- trary, Mir. Peace assures his relatives and friends here that the island is very peace ful. no foreigners having been molested in the remotest degree. All property has been free of looters and except for the narrowing desire to live free of rent no revolutions would be spread with graphic secentuation upon the front pages of American newspapers.
