What They Have Done.

In the four years that work has
been underway ON the lime, there has
been spent over $161, 7Ss.72. which
Judge Bolts says has resulted in
property worth fully twice that sum.
The Directors of the Lime, according
10 his figures, have expended m cash.
out Of their W pockets, $61,725.
There has been paid in ON bond sub
scriptions s51,s72.s5. The road is
clear with the exception OF the
lien held BY the FrrinIB ambrick Com
struction Co. OF $47, 900.47.
Income of Nine Miles.
The present income OF the nine
miles DIN operation between Mexico
and Moline averaged $3.50 a month.
This is enough to pay the RUNNING
expenses aud some other Incidental
debfs. Judge Bolts says under the
proper conditions, when the lime is
extended 10 Santa Fe, this income
win bs four times what It IL to-day.
The extension according to Judge
Bolts, who has made a study of the

 SOUTH ALAbAMIANS
 TOASK FOR CLAYTON Want Member of Delegation
 to Nominate Underwood OTHERS MENTIONED
O'Neal Intimates He Has Been Sug- gested for Vice President in Case Mayor Gaynor
 Heads the Ticket
. By L. s. BETTY

Montgomery. June 22.-(Special.)-An ef- fort will be made by the Alabama dele qation to have Congressman Henry D. f,lavton place oscar w. Underwood s mime before the national democratic con- yention. This fact became known in Mont eomery today when 25 or 30 of the dele gates to the convention In an informal gathering decided that 1t would. be best for the purpose of conserving the best interests of Underwood to have a member of the state delegation make the speech of nomination.
 According to the plan outlined by sev- eraI of the delegates, an urgent appeal will be made to Underwood in Baltimore on Monday that he request William b. Bankheads withdrawal and either Con f.ressman Clayton or Congressman HT- lin be substituted in his place. It Is believed that the choice of the Alabama delegation for the important task of plac- ing underwood's name before the con> ton will fall upon Clayton, though lief In or Governor O'Neal may be delegatei 10 perform this important office.
 Sentiments to this effect were expressed in Montgomery today by the delegates who left on the special train for Baltimore tonight. All day long delegates poured into the city from various parts of cen tral and south Alabama and talk was pretty general that protest will be made by the state delegation against hayinf William B. Bankhead make the speech of nomination The opinion prevailed that if Senator Bankhead's convention pro- gramme is carried out it will work grea, injury to Underwoods cause and the dele gates in Montgomery today were unani- nous in the opinion that every effoi should be made to have some member of the Alabama delegation place Under wood name before the convention, pre- ferably Henry D. Clayton.
 The opinion generally prevailed among the delegates that Underwood has a strong chance to secure the nomination. According to the expression of several Of the delegates Underwood is by far the strongest candidate in the race and it Is thought that he has splendid prospects Of capturing the convention.
 The opinion also prevailed that in the event Underwood was not selected as the nominee of the party, Gov. Emmet O'Neal might be placed on the ticket for second place Ii is known that Governor O'Neal has long been regarded as timber of vice presidential calibre and that political lead CTS in New York and in other sections of the state have on numerous occasions suggested him for Vice President. Tam many leaders have mentioned Governor O'Neal for Vice President on a ticket headed by Mayor Gaynor or by Champ C,s-k or Governor Wilson. When Gov ernor ONeal was in New York several weeks ago he had seyers1 conferene1' with Mayor Gaynor, and while the execu- tive of Alabama has not divulged ",
 took place at any of these conferences 1t Is believed that the proposition was made to him that he allow his name to e

before the convention as candidate fo Vice President.
 Governor O'Neal left on the special train tonight and when seen in his drawnins room declared that he preferred not discuss the matter. The governor de clared his allegiance to Underwood and that the state delegation was determined 10 exert every effort to give him frs, place on the ticket. When asked whether or not he was A candidate for Vice Pres dent, in tho event Underwood was nc nominated. the governor said he pre-. ferred not to discuss the matter. .1oug intimated that the question had been sug gested to him. The governor will go ron Baltimore to New York, where he will de- liver an address on July before Tam many Hall.
