,,rho 6ret sten in A campaign to convince masculine passengers in elevators tiDa' courtesy does not require the removal or hats while riding will not be followed by the other large office building of this city, according to the statements of the agents or superintendents of these respective structures. It is understood that the cards in the First National bank eieVa- tors were placed as elimination or a host of requests from the office ten ants. who gave various objections to the custom.
 The renorts concerning the observance os inc notices in the First National bank building tend to show that a few are taking advantage of thts and leaving their heads under cover, but nine-tenths of the men when there are ladies present continue to remove their hats The lndi- cations. however. point to more Wiue- spread inclination to follow the minority.

 "Personally. am heartily in sympathy with the movement to have men Keep their hats on in the elevators. but it Is something to. be decided by the man him self. | cannot see why 1t is any more requisite as courtesy to remove ones hat in an elevator than in 8 corridor or street car. but with Birmingham people it is generally instinctive and a heritage of southern chivalry.

Baltimore. February 27.-(Special.)- J. Col. Robert J. Watkins of Birmingham, poet laureate of Alabama and a gifted man, came here today and brought with him from the sunny south a little poem of his own manufacture, which the colonel thinks is destined to be great campaign song ere the con test is much farther advanced. It is practically taken from the latest cam paign song that is bound to make a hit at the democratic convention, "The Missouri Houn" song. Here are two of the verses:

 A fight is expected to develop over the bill tomorrow afternoon. de- termlned effort will be made to strike licitor McCabe and 22 law clerks. his subordinates in the department of agri- culture. It will be contended that this function of the agricultural department can be conducted by the department of justice and that no authority in law exists for the legal staff which MT. McCabe directs.
 Debate over this will involve the controversies in the department of agri culture between pr. Wiley and MT. Me Cabe, and the pending charges that the department was influenced by Flori- da everglades land promoters in the &C., tion which was taken regarding cer- tain official reports.

It is believed that this will be done a small expense and it is believed that the patronage would fully warrant doing so.
 Not only would better service be estab- lished between Gadsden and nearby points and the capital but much better service would at the same time result between the same points and Atlanta. The proposed plan is to have the train leave Attalia early in the morning, make the trip to Montgomery and return the same eye ming.
