ST. slMoNs.

beautiful St. Simon on the sea,
Nature hath been kind to thee:
Thy living oak and plump pine,
Ora ing moss and clinging vine
Combine to make the charm complete,
Thou sunny isle amid the deep.
] would abide with thee
St Simon on the sea.
Where the sea gulls in their hiCht
Flash and sparkle in the light;
And when the busy day is run
Aud The glorious setting sun,
Reflects in rays of rosy hue,
Across the depths Of billowy blue
would linger long with thee
st. Simon on the sea.
Where the waves with lengthenine
reach TlWTM
Sweep the glistening sun-kissed beach
And old oceans murmuring moan
Has a music all its own,
And the birds of many song
Join in to help along;
1t is here ! love to be
st. Simon on the sea.
May thine every joy remain
OF ieafy boughs and emerald plain.
Forbid no ruthless hand erase
Or one Of Natures charm displace,
Then out the vista's distant scene
Beauty and harmony intervine,
And thou will truly, truly be
paradise upon tho sea.

w. B. DOUGLASS BACK
 FROM TRIP IN WEST
Produce Merchant Greatly Impressed by Thrift Among Western
 Farmers

Walter B. Douglass of Douglass Brothers. wholesale produce merchants on Morris avenue. returned yesterday from three weeks trip over the west ern country in which he visited in turn Chicago. Denver, Colorado Springs and Dallas, Tex.
 In Chicago Mir. Douglass attended the National Apple Growers convention and was an ardent booster for Blr- mingham, according to the reports of the convention in the produce trade journels. Of the remainder of the trip. MT Douglass said: ( "The thing which struck me most forcibly in the western country is the Iprogressiveness of the farmer. He is alert and alive to the opportunity of the moment, his lands are well irri- gated and invariably he produces the maximum yield The crops in corn, oats and wheat are the heaviest in years and conditions throughout the west impressed me as being very pros porous In Texas at present 1t is very dry and unless rains come soon the cotton crop in the southwest will be short
 "The west is alive with politics, everyone seems excited over some par ticular candidate and his chances of election. From many inquiries and conversations with prominent business men throughout my trip. the concensus of opinion seemed to favor Woodrow Wilson for President. with the bull moose candidate as second man fin the race. and Taft, q poor third. The re- cent disclosures concerning Roosevelt and his Standa rdSOil- connections will hurt his strength in the western states with the farmer vote as they are real progressives
 '.The west is a mighty fine country, but l am perfectly satisfied with Ala bama and don't ever intend to move. While away 1 placed several adyant- ageous contracts with western fruit growers by which the best of oregon apples and full line of the high grade California fruits will be handled by our firm this fall"

WILL WORK TO GET ALABAMA
 CENTENNIAL IN BIRMINGHAM

Commerce will probably go before the governors committee and state reasons why the exposition should be held in Birmingham. It Is understood that Montgomery and Mobile are both after the big fair, but the consensus of opin- ion seems 10 be that both cities are too small to warrant. holding so large an exposition within their limits. It Is also held by some that Birmingham IS rather small to undertake so large q task, but the argument is brought forth that at the present rate of growth Birmingham will be much larger city within the next seven years, and that tho Magic City would be the ideal spot for the exposition.
 Authorities on the matter state that If an effort is to be made by Birming- ham to secure the fair, right now is the time 10 start as it will take several years to get things in shape. u IS probable that the Chamber of Com merce will do something definite on the question before long
