Georgia are just as much interested in the growth of this city, so near them, as 1t Is possible for them to be. We are optimistic about the growth of Birming- ham meaning continued prosperity for the south and in that respect our regard for Birmingham Is of the selfish kind"
 MT. Rounseville is a prominent cotton man of Rome and in speaking of the agricultural advance of the last year said:
 By their diversification of crops and their enrichment of old lands which pro- duced bumper crop in the south, the farmers have demonstrated that in the south agriculture is still great field of endeavor. I have heard of great many young men who have tasted of the follies Of city life returning to the farm with renewed ideas of that life and with the intent to produce. When the farmers of the south raise as much foodstnff as can be consumed right here at home, the enrichment of the country will have ma terialized. have never seen such an abundant crop as was raised last year, and believe the farmers are richer by far than ever before.'

SERIOUS SHOOTING IN HOME
 END OF NEW YEAR CELEBRATION
Citizens Discuss Some
 Needs Of Birmingham

this new year: We should convince those who have money to invest that Birmingham will support a good hotel properly and the industrial manufac- turers that no town presents a better field for smaller plants than does Br- ningham. If Birmingham could get a new hotel, costing about 1000, 900, this year and 25 smaller plants the city would more than reach the 250,000 mark which we desire for 1920. With hotel our fame as a metropolitan city would be sent broadcast over the coun- try, while the smaller industries would create a new volume of wealth. Smaller industrial plants and big hotel would be a great victory for Birmingham"

R. l.. SimusOn

R. L. Simpson, general freight agent, Southern Railway company:
 Birmingham needs most of all, in my opinion, more and diversified industries. When we secure them there is no one line of trade or endeavor that can get so dull as to affect seriously the remaining lines. It is seldom when all channels of trade are dull. There may be dull period in one line but the others will be better at the same time. Birmingham, in order to get ahead in the progress game, should get out and secure the small plants. I understand that a concerted movement will be made along this line some time this year.
 While Birmingham is in the first flush of her great victory over the census re- turns, the people should get out and help to secure the smaller plants. We can command many of them on facts presented of this district. If we would only do this, times would never be dull in this district. l would be glad to see some organization perfected looking to the location here of smaller plants.''

A. D. Lightner

A. D. Lightner of the Frisco:
 Birmingham needs most of all this time smaller industries and fine ho- tel in keeping with the rSher good points of this city There are many victories for Birmingham in pros pective investors finding disappointment in fare when they reach the city and stay day or so. The location here of varied industries and a large no- tel would do as much for this town as any two possible accomplishments Our line and its officers have always been bending every effort to get smaller plants and other commercial companies here and have not failed altogether. What we need Is a greater number whose employees would patronize the merchants of Birmingham, creating by this patronage a wider and greater vol ume of wealth for Birmingham"

J, l.. Yancey

J. L. Yancey: Tn my opinion Birming- ham needs more cooperation among her citizens; more conservatism, less aglta- tion and strife. We should all get into harness; make a strong pull together; work for the other fellow as we'll as self, and better exploit our resources and advantages to the world''

E. T. Steel

F. T. Steel, freight traffic manager, Alabama Great Southern railroad:
 Birmingham needs most of all dlversi- fled industries, and smaller ones. We should be so thoroughly honeycombed no possible effect of the larger industries shutting down would hurt the general trend of business. It was in the old days of Birmingham when the rolling mill closing spelled gloom and despair in the hearts of the good people here. and though that day has passed, and the closing of any one plant does not hurt so very much, when four or five furnaces close and plant or two it Is time to look pessimistic. If we maintained here a great many smaller plants no possible effect could be felt when others see fit to close.
 Not only is this true, but the plants in good times would contribute largely to the prosperity of the city and build it up as nothing else could. Birmingham should have an organization whose sole purpose is to get the smaller plants and industries. We should even offer them inducements to locate here.
 "One of the solutions of the high cost of living for this limited community is to consume here all the raw materials ard work the products up into the final commodity. This would create riehes for Birmingham and would give the con- sumers a chance to buy their goods at a low level. When the distance between the producer and the ultimate consumer is reduced materially then prosperity will he ours in abundance. The smaller plants would be the best means of de- creasing this distance"

Arthur LOvelace

Arthur Lovelace, a prominent lumber dealer:
 "In order to get the smaller plants, which are Birmingham's greatest need of the present the city and country should exempt them from taxation for a stated number of years. In addition to this there should be some organization supplied with funds to help the infant in- dustries in their early struggles. That is the only manner in which Birmingham can positively insure it's continued pros perity. All good business men have life insurance. So should Birmingham have this protection. When we surround the city with the smaller plants. creating thereby wealth in a fine volume, we will have insured the city against depression from other parts of the country. Chat tanooga and Cincinnati are cobwebbed with small plants. They do not raise immense steel walls or install thousands of dollars worth of machinery. But they open up line of trade for the poor fellow who has no job and he Is the one person who is loyal to the city and spends his earnings there They are the salt of the earth, and they do little other than make great city greater or rich city richer. I am very much in favor of getting out and hustlng the smaller plants into the confines of Birmingham. needs are timely and I think they should be read and thoroughly digested by the people of our city"

w. w. Hawker

W. w. Hawker: "One of the things that Birmingham needs among others is a power building such as are erected in other cities for rental purposes to light manufacturers plants, such as printers, photo-engravers, small machine shops and numerous others.
 "'There are no buildings at present that are adapted to such purposes and the concerns I have mentioned are compelled to occupy buildings not strong enough for their machinery, sometimes too far from the business section, or office buildings where the rent is too high.
 Power buildings are made of rein forced concrete and the occupants are furnished power, light, heat, etc. I think such a proposition would be a profitable venture for the builder. as there will be unquestionably more pressing need for such a structure as the city grows and new concerns come here."

Tunis and Red Mountain
Items.

Thanksgiving was observed with
the greatest feast and social event
ever enjoyed in the history of our
community in which fifty persons
participated.
A large table was spread in the
open in large canyon on the north
side of the mountain and loaded with
all the good things that the country
affords to eat. After returning
thanks to the Great Giver, led by
the Rev. Pickett, all did eat and
were filed. After dinner Rev. Pick
EFT made a brief talk appropriate to
the occasion. The next thing in or
der was to climb to the top of the
mountain some two thousand feet,
all being invigora'ed and refreshed
by the fat of the land and the pure
bracing atmosphere. Both old and
young alike climed to the topmost
peak with but little efforts. Mrs.
d. l.. Pond aged seventy-two years
was among those who climbed to
the top. From the summit of Red
mountain which appears to be the
very center of the Mimbres valley,
the crowd admired the beautiful
scenery of the surrounding country.
The valley, apparently great plain
surrounded by rugged mountains in
the distance which contains fabulous
mineral wealth, is fast forcing itself
to the front as an agricultural
centre. All chstted of the wonder
full development as glance at the
valley in every direction from the
mountain top revealed hundreds of
new cottages, some just completed
and some with cultivated fields and
irrigating plants. A glance at the
MIN bres valley from the summit of
Red mountain is enough to convince
anyone that this is destined to be
in the near future one of the gar
den spots Of the world.
