 connection it might be well to add that
 should the Illinois Central railroad build to Reform there are over 100, ,000
 car loads of lumber to rne cut. which would bay over s100 per car freight to Chicago and the northwest, making a
 total of over $10,O00,Jeu freight alone on lumber. No place In the United

 destined in the near future to become a controlling factor in the manufacture of brick, owing to its inexhaustible re- sources such as clay, shale, water and natural gas These br;oy can be load ed on the car at less than $4 per 10OG and the finest grade or yitrified brick

THE REBUILT TOWN, CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY
 OF BIG FIRE ONE YEAR AGO
By R. E. CANE

Fayette, March 23.-(SpeciaL)--To one year ago the town of Fayette suf fered q million dollar fire; today the same earth is indeed under your feet,
 the same heavens are over your head, but all else is changed.
 one year ago the writer gazed up Temple avenue and viewed nothing but the charred remains or a once pros porous town. The old town consisted principally of frame buildings; now the town is rebuilt with modern brick structures. Fayette can boast of a first class hotel with accommodations such as seldom found in any town of many times it's size. A beautiful bank build ings adorns one of the principal cor ners. One of the bes, courthouses in tho state of Alabama is here of which the people of Fayette county should date in every respect and too much cannot be said of the enterprising mer- chants, who suffered a great loss in this fire. The people Of Fayette county are seriously discussing bond issue for the building of good roads through out the county. Contracts have been let for the establishment of a water works system and sarltary sewerage system for the town of Fayette, which will fill long felt want and will add to the health of the town.
 One of the largest crowds that has ever been in Fayette attended the bar becue today, which was a pronounced success from every standpoint Fully
 5000 people were in attendance. J. W. Abercrom bic addressea tne citizens of Fayette on education. W. s. Kellar, member of the state highway commis~ sion, spoke Tn the interest of good roads E. ]. Wooten. sta.e lecturer for the Farmers union, delivered very Interesting lecture on oiversined farm- ins, which was well received. A. The people of Fayette deserve great credit for the hospitaele manner in which they entertained their guests,
 They were bountifuh. .ed and each
 returned home with loud praise for ! the hospitable manner In which the
 good people of Fayette had entertained
 the crowd.
 The Fayette bfass .and furnished
 music for the occasion.
 1 A few reasons why Fayette Is des-
 tined to become a city of 10000 to i5,-
 000 people within the next few years
 are these;

 Matters pertaining to the Alabama state educational convention, the coming here of which Is due largely to the ef- forts of the Business Mems league, will also be discussed, and quite a number of routine business matters pertaining to the work of the Business Mems league will be considered. A large attendance Is expected at the meeting as the entire league Is interested in both the aviation meet and the state educational conven- tiop

Here is the reason why one citizen is going to vote for MT. Phil B. Bowers for tax collector, as stated by himself:
 'I have been going to the tax collector s office for many years. myself and my company. having great deal of business in the way of paying taxes and looking after the taxes of our clients. MT. Bow CTS is always there, and l don't ever ex- 'pect to see or know public officer Who is more courteous. obliging, anxious to do his full duty by the public and efficient.
 MT. Bowers knows the office and we all know him. As one of the public what want in this office is the very best serv- ice There is nobody in the race that approaches Bowers in his equipment for the job, in his ability to give the right kind of service right now.
 And all this aside from the broad and generous feeling which we all have that prompts us to promote man for faithful and effective service.
 Tt runs through the whole scheme of life the army, the navy. the business house, the school, the church. Let's pro- mote Phil Bowers"

JUDGE JOHN H. MILLER

Marion Standard.
 As usual Jefferson county Is in the limelight in the campaign now on. But Jefferson has been the hub of state politics for several years and 1t is but natural that she should feel her keep- ing at this particular time inasmuch as she has candidate for President who seems destined to reach the goal and give the south a prestige which has seemed misty for generations yet un- born to achieve.
 In looking over the host of candi- dates Jefferson now has for offices the standard is strongly impressed with the fact that Birmingham has the op- portunity of her life to clinch her hold on the people of the state by putting at the head of her jud.ciary man who is not only capacitated for the duties but would prove a record breaker in the enforcement of law and order now so much needed in rnat progressive city. This man is none other than Judge John H. Miller. candidate for judge of the city court.
 Judge Miller is a brother of Judge B. M, Miller of the fourth judicial circuit. whose judicial mind, fair and impartial rulings and capacity to trans act business has won for him a reputa . tion that has long since put him in the forefront as the best aei round judicial officer In the entire state.
 Judging from the crowded dockets of Birmingham and Jefferson county it seems to us that Judge John Miller Is the man above all others for the posi- tion of city judge. One who will do business and cannot be swerved by pomposity or jargon phraseology, and one who does not believe all the brains of the middle ages were confined in the heads of the hooded monks, or few la wyers of the present era hold a mort gage on all of the intelligence.
 In plain parlance Judge Miller would run his court according to law ana the evidence, and with legal ability and practical common sense methods that would soon win him praise from all the people irrespective of social or political standing. or whether mil lionaire or common laborer.
 The writer has known Judge John H. Miller for many years and in our humble opinion there is not a man in all the state better suited at this par ticular time to take upon himself the Judicial ermine of the great city of Bir- mingham, for the influence lie would wield by the able, fearless, fair. impar- tial and business-1ike manner Iii which he would discharge his duty would have a most potent efrect upon the ju- dietary throughout the state. s''

Fayette will have population of 10,- 900 people. One of the main features of the town is it's perfect freedom from dirt and smoke, and one cannot ap- preciate the great luxury of natural gas until it has been actually tested
 Fayette has at present about 25 mer- cantile establishments. one bank, one newspaper, three churches, three drug stores, two barber shops. two restau- rants, three hotels, SIX doctors, two dentists, six lawyers, one high schooi with prospects for another in tn. near future.
 MT. Baskett, who is constructing the railroad down the Sipsey valley. will most probably at an early date erect Il stave mill and handle factory in this city. He states that he has great faIth in the future growth of Fayette and intends investing heavily.
