PRESS CLUB PAYS
 TRIBUTE ID DENNY
Regret His Resignation As President of Washington
 and Lee University

The formal resignation of Dr. G. II. Denny as president of the Washington and Lee university, Lexington, Va. has been officially announced to the Press club of that institution, and he will be- come the active president of the Uni versity of Alabama January l. An in- dloation of the high esteem in which the noted educator is held in Lexing- ton fs shown in the statement sent to The Age Herald by the Press club. It follows:
 Lexington Va, october 5.-The resig nation of pr. G. H. Denny came yester- day as the expected thing. ever since he failed to say anything to encourage his students when they so signally put themselves on record and so forcefully asked him to stay last week. Every student here feels that he has done all that lies In his power to hold Dr. Denny as president at Washington and Lee. The reasons as set forth in the letter which pr Denny wrote are not entirely clear to those who sit at his feet. and everyone of those join in the wish that the whole thing may come out for the best, both as far as the University or Alabama is concerned, and most especl- ally for pr. Dennys continued good fortune.
 The general sentiment is Well. goodby. Mike, we wanted you to stay, and now that you will not. may better fortune come 10 you than came when you were in Virginia"
 The record of pr. Denny is almost phenomenal Starting as almost an un- known young man at the head Of a struggling institution, he has made a. name and fame for himself and for Washington and Lee university. In things material and scholastic his hand | has imoroved and increased. But his greatest triumph has come from his power and willingness to attend to the minute details of the work. By the application of practical common sense and good judgment he has produced the | results which can come from nothing else As his work was founded on the efforts of those who went before him so will the next president contribute to what is now going on.
 When pr Denny leaves Lexington and January l finds him at the helm or another institution, Washington and Lee will continue as before on it's prosper ing way in the fight for improved edu- cation. The security for its future is double, to be found first in its illus trious past and again in it's present condition of prosperity. Good luck be with you. pr Denny, if you have helped us we have also been of no small ad- vantage to you.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
 OFFICIALS HERE

w. A. Winburn, vice president of the Central of Georgia railroad; J. T. John- ston, general superintendent, and M. A. Ramsay, superintendent, were visitors to this city yesterday. The officials looked over the physical properties of the line and conferred with local llli- nois Central officials relative to the strike situation at East Thomas
 Mir Winburn said business was pick ing up to some extent and that while d dullness was apparent. he was of the opinion that time would, soon adjust those matters.
 "I am always glad to be in Birming ham," said MT. Winburn, for of all the cities on our line Birmingham shows up so well from a visitors standpoint. Things look active here and it would be difficult to ascertain that business was dull here even if such was a fact. Our business from Birmingham is ex- cellent and we are grateful to the ship ping public for their consideration.

EXCISE BOARD TO
 MAKE TRIP SOON
Will Devote Much Attention To a Seeing That the Law Is 70
 Enforced

Although no definite time has been set, 1t is probable that the excise commission CTS will make a tour of inspection of the city today or tomorrow to size up the liquor situation. The fact that per sonal tour of inspection is to be made has been known generally for some time, and it is looked forward to with a great deal of interest by those directly con cerned
 In addition to this 1t is probable that the social club situation will be passed over now until some time next week. It was indicated yesterday by the commits sioners that a searching inquiry was to be made into all those recently formed clubs which have applied
 The tour of inspection that will be made by the commission will apply to all the larger places where they have authorized saloons. The strict regulation of them is now the proposition uppermost in the minds of the excise commissioners and they say that absolutely no violations are to be overlooked.
 It Is said the commissioners yesterday mailed notices to number of the men who applied telling them that their appli- cations had not been passed upon by the commission favorably, hence the formal notification The notices were signed by Secretary Stallings
 It is said the commissioners are looking carefully into the proposition of allowing a saloon at Warrior. The citizens there voted against the saloons and large pe- tition has been sent to them asking that no saloons be allowed there.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The legalized saloon with the many promised reforms, about which there has been so much agitation during the past four years, is in our midst again, so let us stop and analyze the result of the regulation so far. 1 have been a local optionist until the present regulated saloons in the recent cleo ton, believing that to be the best meth Q cd to handle the whisky problem, but later events have made me doubting Thomas.
 Governor O'Neal, in published state ment a few days before the local op- tion election, promised to give us as excise commissioners men against whose acts no just criticism could be raised. Well, let's see how that pledge has been fulfilled. one of the official acts of the excisemen was to place a saloon on one of the most prominent corners in Ensley, in direct contact with the shopping district and every denom- national church in the city, over the earnest protest of many of our best citizens. The city council of Ensley re- fused to grant saloon license to do business on this corner before the days of prohibition, when there was but little regulation to the whisky traffic Another strange feature of the new regulation (which we were told wouId

Iron and Railroad company, is in Birmingham visiting his relatives here He is a prominent citizen of Chicago. and while, he said yesterday, he had never been in Birmingham before, yet he had been told so much that he was not surprised to find the city so active and prosperous
 "Birmingh Is certainly fine city, said MT. Dodge. One has only to look at the natural advantages of Birming- ham and the progress here to under stand that a south Chicago or Pittsburg is being rapidly created in this dis trict l was amazed, however. to find such wonderful industrial plants al- ready here for it is difficult to con- ceive how they could have sprung up in such a few years

WILSON BROWN
 SUGGESTS AID Thinks Citizens Should Help in Seeing That
 Law Is Enforced

Wilson Brown, in an interview yes'er'
 day makes the suggestion that '"''' meeting be called of those busihess 'he" who sponsored the saloons returh' 'o annoint a committee of several seoi' members to stand right up behlnd tae
 excis. commission and report to thsm tho sliehtest violation of the rules ana regulations that are to be draiteo M '"N guidance of the saloon men.
 His suggestion is in line with tiioSe made by w. W. Crawford, president ol the American Trust and Savings path' and J. w. Mcqueen, vice-presioeht o- the Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron coni- pany. that the men who did most ioi
 inc saloon in the recent fight should make it their personal business to see that they were operated decently.
 Mr Brown makes his piea upon the assumption that unless the saloons are
 carefully regulated another prohibition fight will be precipitated fn four years and the turmoil and injury attendent unon it will be reasserted in this com munity.
 Mr Brown goes on to say; The eX- else commissioners have been handling
 q rather difficult proposition up to this
 time. And in my personal judgment thev have handled the retail license ques-
 ton with rare ability. It is admittedly true that q number of good men were ! declined licenses, not for any specific
 complaint against them, but on account
 of the narrow limits prescribed.
 eve all admit that it would have been better if the commissioners could have | in their discretion passed upon, say 0 | or more saloons as that number would | have been, in my opinoN, few enough to handle the situation.
 "Now that the saloons are started, the ] excise commissioners should be acquaint- | ed with the fact that the business men of this community are with them. TO 1 that end I do not think 1t i'll timed 10
 suggest that every good law abiding 1 citizen report to them by mail or other
 wise any violations of the law 50 Tar | as 1 personally know they are operating
 we'll within the law and are seemingly giving general satisfaction.
 | "iIoweyer the business men of this city
 pledged themselves to the voters that it
 they would elect between saloons and | the blind tigers they would see 10 u | that every caution was observed to rem
 der the operation of saloons proper. Tn order to carry out that pledge l belieVa | it would be we'll for a mass meeting 10 l, be held of those business men who ad- vocated the saloons and that at that meeting suitable steps be taken, to assist | the excise commission in handling ihis
 hard proposition. With a body of men
 them am constrained to believe that the blind tigers, if there are any, will dut' | and the saloon men now operating would | soon come to know that every business
 man of that committee was watching l them"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Texas Stock Melons

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 am writing this letter for the bene- fit of my brother farmers of our great southland. I have been growing this valuable melon for five years and it has proved to be the most profitable crop that I have grown in the way of furnishing green feed In cold weather This melon grows very large and many melons to the vine, some weighing as high as 60 pounds. and yielding from five to ten tons of melons to the acre. The great value of this melon is in it's keeping qualities they will keep all winter, and for hogs, cows, sheep, goats and fowls of all kinds. There is noth- ing that will furnish so much green feed at a time when 1t is scarce and with such little labor
 They are about the only substitute l they are hard to beat;ef for preserves, hot or cold sauce, they are fine, and for pies they are more like apples than anything I know of. And l want to say right here if you want plenty of milk in the winter feed them to your milch cows. They have no insect enemy, and they will grow among corn,
 same pumpkins. They are a cross between the Florida white and Kansas black melon, and are adapted to all parts of the country. l find after some experimenting that they are the best feed to keep hogs in a fine, thrifty and healthy condition while being fed on corn and other feed, they will reduce the feed bill fully one half.
 If any brother farmer would like to try this melon and will write to me l will send him a package of seed by mail. for l know they will pay him many times over for the labor eX- pended
 If any one should happen to write for seed kindly send postage. Yours truly.

GREATLY PLEASED WITH DR. DENNY
Judge Foster Thinks They Have Secured Right Man
 for the Place

Judge Henry B. Foster of Tuscaloosa, a member of the board of trustees Of the University of Alabama, received congrat- ulations yesterday while in Birmingham from friends of the university who are pleased in the acquisition of pr. Denny of Washington and Lee.
 "It required considerable time" stated Judge Foster, ito settle on a man for president of the university against whom no one could register q protest, but we feel that we have at last succeeded. We have heard no complaint from any per- son connected in any respect with the university. We feel that we have select ed the very best man possible. and that the university, under his guidance, will reap a rich benefit"
 Judge Foster stated that a petition for a whisky election was being circulated at the present time In Tuscaloosa. He expressed himself as confident that pro- hibition would be retained in Tuscaloosa, and that the fight would be between the vets and drys with the dispensary ele- ment running a poor third.
 You will find Tuscaloosa" stated he, right behind Birmingham in supporting oscar Underwood for President. l feel sure that the county vii send delega- ton to the state convention instructed for him. l think it very proper that Alabama should so honor its son who has served the people of the country so well.
 Judge Foster stated that Tuscaloosa is growing rapidly and that many improve ments were under way. He is one of a Tuscaloosa company which has applied for a. franchise to lay electric car lines in TuSCa looSa.
