PARTY INSPECTING BRYAN PROPERTIES Richmond Visitors Going
 Out to Empire Today VISIT-T 70 w A l. K B R. President Nelson Not Yets Ready to Give Details. But Large Amount
 Will Be Spent in Develop ment Work

Delighted was the terse way in which the visiting Richmond capitalists interested in the lands of the Bryan Coal corporation summed up their in- spection of the properties yesterday. :
 The party, composed of Presidents Frank Nelson, Jr. Fred Scott, T. E. Scott. George Cole Scott and W. C.J Adams. looked over the properties in Walker county. going to that point on a special train over the Southern. This morning at o'clock the party will go to Empire. which Is owned by the Em- pire Coal company. to look over the re- cent Improvements made at that place by the operating company. They will have a few additional Birmingham friends with them, occupying the pri- vate car of the Sloss company.
 The officials of the Bryan corpora ton, under the guidance of President Nelson, will spend about $250, 900 or s300000 making improvements on the lands in Walker county secured from the Bryan estate. It was stated yes terday afternoon when the visitors re- turned to the city that an announcer ment would perhaps issue from the of- flee of Frank Nelson. Jr.. after the complete inspection outlining what ac- tion will be taken imm ediately for the development of the Bryan lands.
 At this time nothing can be sHtd-s. to our plans said President Nelson. Some time very soon il may be pos sible that we will have plans in such condition that they may be given to the public. The statement heretofore made that the Bryan Coal corporation intends to make extensive improve ments on the properties secured Is all that can be said at this time"
 We are very much pleased with the properties of the Bryan corporation" said Mr Scott yesterday. but any de- tails as to what may be done to make improvements will be secured from MT. Nelson"
 MT. Fred Scot, said in answer to an inquiry as to oscar w. Underwood. Tn Virginia we think Underwod is fine chap and a great leader" but q can not talk politics to you now old man."

MIMMS IS BOOSTER
 FOR ALABAMA'S SON
Says Politicians Do Not Realize Un- derwoOd's Strength Among
 the Masses

Claud Mlmms, one of Kentucky's most ardent sons, Is in Birmingham and is if possible. even more optimistic booster of Congressman oscar w. Underwood than Oscar Turner.
 eff you let Underwood run with any man against him, I don't care who he is. Alabamas s first citizen would beat him easily" Is the enthusiastic manner in which MT. Mimms sizes the situation up.
 He went on to say that MT Underwood would carry Kentucky somewhat doubtflJ state. with ease, if the people were allowed to say who should be their candidate and not & convention. Mir Mimns said that he had not voted since Taylor of Kentucky was elected govern or of that state and he would not vote now but for the ardent admiration for MT. Underwood.
 "He can beat any man fin America for President" said Mir. Mimms. Why I talk to farmers back on the branches. people on trains and everywhere. l find that the most sagacious politicians of the country do not know the strength of Underwood He is growing eevry day. I have only one lingering doubt and that is that the politicians may frame up on him at the convention. But if that af- fair were put off 50 days from the time 1t is to be held Underwood would sweep the hall As 1t is now the chances are that on the first ballot Mir Underwood will be little noticed, but as the splits take place he will get every delegation. I confidently believe that he will be nominated.
 Underwood as against Teddy would wipe up the earth with him." continued MT. Mmms. He can get more votes from the people right now than MT. Roosevelt could have gotten in his most popular days and he will get them if the democrats have sense enough to nominate him |"
