The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-29

The time for general convention is all most upon us. I hope no chapter in Ala bama will be found delinquent with her general taxes. Circulars and credential blanks will be sent each chapter president by 1st of October. Information concern ing the Washington convention will also be in next Sundays paper.
