good young Morgan with us now in the person of that alert young chap, Webb Crawford, who started in as president of little bank and has built it up to one of the greatest financial institutions of the south. occupying the tallest building in the south. which is not only a gem of architecture, but Is as strong a structure, both constructiYely and financially, as anything in this country.
 All credit to man who does such worl

 There is indeed a tremendous upbuild- ing spirit prevalent among the good peo- pie of Birmingham today. Every man seems to have big ideas and big under takings in mind and many of them are making them into fact.
 Business in all lines is better than it has ever been and the outlook for the coming new year is no less than bril- liant.
 Many of the corporations are maturing plans for large expansion. The Tennes- see company, which has been making new high records in production recently, will doubtless reach out for still higher rec ords in 1913.
 Within the past two years this com pany has expended millions on new con- struction, but the work 1t has done all ready is to be outstripped.
 Several blast furnaces. new open hearth steel furnaces and one or two large finishing plants in the Ensley di- vision are practically assured.
 These will require skilled labor which should add fully 10000 to the population of Birmingham within the next year.

 Speaking of construction work and good work the new Board of Revenue seems to be going about things in a practical way and it is a safe prediction that their road building and improvement work within the period of the new year will make the surroundings of Birmingham blossom like unto Birmingham itself.
 And right here, credit is indeed due to ized fire department for the fine work they did in handling that dangerous fire Friday night. But for magnificent and thoroughly organized work the beautiful

Chamber of Commerce building-the pride Of Birmingham-would have, been ma teriallly damaged. Bennett is a good fire man and. he Is keeping fully apace with the Birmingham of today, and in line with the spirit prevailing it's people.
 It looks like President-elect Wilson has made up his mind to select, regardless of former personal or political friends, a cabinet calculated to make his adminis- tration a practical and lasting success.
 It may be that he is wise in selecting Mir. Bryan as Secretary of State. Bryan is undoubtedly man of brains. He has probably learned by now that he can't fool the people with "1sms." He is fami- liar with foreign affairs. having travelled much; and he Is certainly familiar with the history of this and other govern ments. There is. therefore, no reason why  he should not make-curbing his own per sonal ambitions-a most excellent secre- tary of State.
 In Josephus Daniels of North Carolina MT. Wilson will have a most excellent Postmaster General. Daniels is of the practical A hard worker, a diligent stu- dent and an all round good man. He has none of the frills and furbelows of the footlight politician. but he is a gentleman of ability and judgment and will adminis- ter the affairs of the postoffice depart ment as we'll as any man in this coun- try.
 The treasury portfolio will be the back bone of the incoming administration. If MT. Wilson succeeds in inducing Oscar Underwood to accept it there will be no question but that both the tariff prob lem and the financial problem will be solved and administered to the best in terests of America
 With Underwood at the head of this de- partment there will be no panics, nor slumps in business nor undue periods Of excitement and alarm His knowledge Of business and tho practical of legislation, and his well balanced temperament will mean not only success now but a con- tinuation of practical democratic rule

KUpELIK,s VIOLIN

From the New 1ork Times.
 The feeling of great violinist for the instrument upon which he plays is scarcely transferable into words. Ere qucntly his whole career depends upon that one favorite violin. Kubelik's Guar norus is not so costly a work of crafts manship as many other treasured fiddles.
 He has made more money than sl2,50O in a weeks fiddling. The money value. ap- praised by cold experts, of this distin- guished violin does not signify. It is Jan Kubeliks staff of life. To be sep arated from it, even if only overnight, must seem to the virtuoso d great calam- ity. That the bailiffs in Berlin were em-
 powered to take 1t from him, just as he
 was going to play for a large company,
 indicates that Kubeliks fortunes must have been declining. The law in Ger
 many does not sanction malice or re-
 venge. The check the bailiffs refused in it's stead must have seemed to the law officers of dubious value. When he was in New York he could have had his check indorsed, in any possible crisis, by
 some man of indsputable solvency.
 An impresario sued Kubelik for breach
 of contract. Presumably the decision against him was just. But it would not
 have troubled him much, a few years
 ago, If it could be satisfied by the mod
 est sum of sl2,5o0. Kubelik has been i'll
 and is still in precarious health, and pre- sumably he has fallen behind in his ac' counts. The high cost of a successful a1tIsts living is proverbial. But he is era act master of ahe technic of the violin, an6 we may be sure that he will soon re cover lost ground and his precious Guar nerius Meanwhile he has learned tn,
 valuable lesson that even the most pet ted artist must fulfill their contracts.

ANNABEL LEE

By Edgar Allan Poe.
 It was many and many a year ago.
 In a Kingdom by the sea That a maiden there lived whom you may
 know
 By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. was child and she was child, In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with love that was more than love I and my Annabel Lee With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven | Coveted her and me.
 And this was the reason that. long aga. In this ldnfdom by the sea, A wind blew out of cloud, chilling
 My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her high-born kinsmen came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre In this Kingdom by the sea. The angels not half so happy in heaven, Went envying her and me Yes!-that was the reason Gas all men know, Tn this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
 Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we
 Of many far wiser than We And neither the angels in heaven above,
 Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:  For the moon never beams. without bring ing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee, And the stars never rise but feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful. Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, 1 lie down by the side Of my darling-my darling-my life and
 my bride.

The Touch of Winter Freezes

 There is peculiar bracing touch in the breezes that blow at times from off the hills O Hyco' or the Dan, that one never forgets. Of course, l allude to the time of the first snowfalls and when the moon- light adds soft color to the scene.

Reinforced Concrete at Hot Fire

helnIOTceu SOncTete dL nOb ElTc
 The burning of the Mayberry build ing, crammed full of paper, was marked by intense heat, and yet the Chamber of Commerce building next door was not seriously impaired and it was yesterday in good running order. This is certainly evidence that reinforced concrete buildings are proof against heat unless it comes in a high wind when no structure that mankind has ever erected in a busi- ness street has stood uninjured. The fire on First avenue showed that a reinforced concrete building cannot be crumpled up and cannot be burned out when firemen are at hand.
 No claim is made that such build ings are absolutely fireproof, for they are not. The Mayberry fire shows no more than that fire without high wind cannot sweep away a reinforced concrete building, no matter how great the heat may be. Possibly hotter fire than the Mayberry fire could not be had between two walls in city street, and yet the Chamber of Com merce building stands today es- sentially intact. The sign, Trade in Birmingham" on top of it, came through the fire, and it will continue to tell its lesson every night unscarred and untarnished.
