ticket office in the Louisville and Nash vile depot at the excursion rate of s3.2O for the round trip.
 It Is expected that there will be but three delegations in Montgomery today for the joint conference beside the state centennial committee. The only towns competing in earnest for the exposition in 1919 are Mobile. Montgomery and Bir- mingham. From what can be gathered from dsinterested parties from other parts of the state who happened to be in the city yesterday, Birmingham is fa- vored strongly as the site for the cele- bration with Mobile coming second.
 One keynote sounded by Secretary Rad clffe yesterday was that after the mat ter had been decided between the con testing towns that all jealousy and i'll feeling should be kept down and every citizen of the state, no matter where ne lived, should enter into spirit of hearty cooperation to join with the successful contestant and help make the exposition the biggest celebration ever held in the state.

REDMOUNTA|NCAMP
 GETS S48O0 A YEAR.
Judge Lane Insisted on Stay ing Within the Budget,
 But Was OutvOted

The Anti-Tuberculosis association was voted s4So0 per year yesterday by the city commissioners as against S250 received last year The vote was two for the aIo- propriation with Judge Lane voting no. Judge Lane wanted to keep the appropri- ations well within the budget and exert an effort to raise the S400 appropriation from some future cuts to make up the loss. However MT. Exum and MT. Weatherly felt that the s4o0 per month should be voted and later make up the difference from subsequent cuts.
 Howard N Bowdry, a contractor, just before the commission voted the money, arose and asked permission to say some thing. He asserted that he tried to get friend into the camp and was given a list of costs which he said would have staggered Jay Gould. He averred that the associa ton wanted him to provide tent for his sick friend and also tent for an attendant. The citizen also said that the association wanted friends of the sick man to pay for all his food and every convenience except the medicine and med ical attendance. Officials of the associa- ton were very much surprised at the as- sertions of MT. Bowdry and immediate notes were taken of the case. In the meantime MT. Bowdry said he carried the sick friend on a hill outside of East Lake in a tent, where the poor fellow died un- attended some months later.

Steaming out of the Louisville and Nashville depot at Railroad avenue and Twentieth street at S:33 o'clock this morn ing. headed for Montgomery, one of the mogul engines of the "Ellen M will take the big delegation from the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce to the state capi- tol, where it will appear before the state committee recently appointed by Governor O'Neal and secure for Birmingham the enormous exposition to be held in 1919 as a centennial celebration of the ad- mission of Alabama to the union
 The advance guard of the delega ton, in- cluding J. w. Mcqueen, chairman of the committee; w. P. G. Harding. R. w. Massey. E. W. Barrett and one or two others left for Montgomery last night to prepare accommodations for the remain der of the committee. which will arrive about Il o'clock today. The place of meeting at Montgomery has been changed from the Exchange hotel to the audi torium of the Montgomery Business Mems league. As the local delegates will not arrive much before noon, and it Is prob able that the delegation from Mobile will not arrive any sooner, it is stated that the business of the joint meeting with the state centennial committee probably will not be taken up until after luncheon.
 Business of Committee
 The first thing to be decided by the state committee and the committees from the different sections of the state will be whether or not a centennial shall be held, and if so, on how large scale and what it shall consist of. This will probably consume two or three hours even more, so that if it is decided to hold a state centennial in 1919, the decision as to what city shall be the site of the expo stion may not be arrived at until late this afternoon.
 Secretary W. C. Radcliffe of the Cham Der of Commerce stated yesterday that wherever the exposition was held if meant an expenditure of not cent less than a million dollars by the citizens of that community. Some funds, it is ex- pected, will be received from the state government and possibly some from the federal government, but 1t is established that the local community in which the big show is held will be depended upon to raise Sl,Oo00oO or more.
 The badges to be worn by the mem bers of the Birmingham delegation today will consist of strip of white silk rib- bon with Birmingham printed on it in large red letters. These badges are all ready and will be distributed to the crowd as they get on the train at the Louis vile and Nashville depot this morning.
 Special Train Unnecessary
 Due to the fact that regular passenger train No. l leaves for Montgomery at s:33 this morning on a very satisfactory schedule, it was deemed inadvisable sy the Birmingham committee to run the contemplated special train. to leave for Montgomery at S:45 o'clock. Therefore if was decided that one or two special coaches would be arranged for and that the delegation would go to Montgomery on the regular No l this morning.
 Secretary Radcliffe requested last night that everybody who was going should be on hand this morning not any later than S:3O o'clock. Those who have not yet secured tickets can do so this morning before the train leaves at the regular

The Secretary first takes up the
work of the various bureaus of his
department in the past year and then
tells of the growth in some instances
from their foundation, of these bu-
reaus during the time he has been
head of the department. He praises
highly the experts who have worked
under him.
"The great and growing movement
carried on by the department for ag-
ricultural betterment, T" he declares,
has not been sustained solely by
one man nor by few men. A choice
corps of scholarly experts in their
special lines of endeavor has been
growing in membership, in breadth
of view, and in the practical applica-
tion of their efforts.

The earth has produced its greatest
annual dividend The sun and the
rain and the fertility of the soil heed
ed not the human controversies, but
kept on working in cooperation with
the farmers efforts to utilize them.
The prices at the farm are generally
profitable and will continue the pros
perity that farmers have enjoyed in
recent years. The total production of
farm wealth is the highest yet reach
ed by half billion dollars. The
grand total for 1912 is estimated to be
So, 532, 900, 900. This is more than twice
the value of the farm wealth in 1890"
More than $1O5,OOO, 100000 is the
grand total for wealth production, the
report says, during the past sixteen
years, an amount equal to about three
quarters of the present national
wealth.
The most effective move toward re-
dueed cost of living is the production
of greater crops, says the Secretary,
and this move he declares is due to
the work of the department of agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta

As quite a number Of the candidates
have expressed desire to put In all
their time securing subscriptions, the
management deems II advisable to dis
continue publishing the coupons In
the paper and those coupons which
expire Dec. 10 will be the last to be
credited.
At 10 o'clock tonight will close the
biggest and best offer of the cam
paign. Double votes are given on all
subscriptions turned in up until that
time. Twenty-Five dollars in gold will
be given the candidate turning in the
greatest number of one-year subscrip-
tions. 1t goes without saying that
the person turning in the greatest
number of yearly subscriptions and
receiving double votes on them will
have the best chance Of winning the
big prize Dec. 81.
Hustle around and see if you cannot
secure a few more subscriptions be-
fore 10 O'Clock. Lots of votes can be
added to your total between now and
that time.
In yesterdays issue only the names
of those having at least 10000 votes
were published, and one can easily
see who are the workers. 1t is not
unreasonable to believe that new can
didates will enter the field. Perhaps
you are thinking about getting into
the race yourself after seeing just
how few are working to win the prizes.
A glance at the vote schedule in effect
until 10 o'clock tonight gives you a
good idea how easy you may lead the
list. You have plenty of time left
In which to secure thousands of votes.
We want to impress very firmly the
fact that this is absolutely the very
best offer that will be made, and if
you are waiting for as good an offer
again you will be disappointed. Some
folks doubtless have an idea that more
votes will be issued the last week
we WISH 10 SLdIe HOW Iudt d ltSS num-
Der of votes will be issued the last
week, and those waiting until then
to turn in their subscriptions will be
the losers in votes.
A few of the larger termed subscrlp-
tons would place one in the lead very
easily. Solicit your friends and see il
you cannot secure a few subscriptions
this week so as to get double votes on
them. For instance, $4,000 votes are
issued on a two-year subscription. +,
Turn to the published list now and
see just how few it will take to en-
able yon to get into the race. This
is the best time to enter the race,
and while you are thinking of entering
and putting it off from time to time,
your more energetic neighbors are So
liciting your friends for votes, which
would otherwise be yours.

Is going to be awarded to some one
