HARDING OUTLINES
 STEPS NECESSARY
Says Alabama Exposition Should Be Greater Than Any Heretofore
 in the South

Montgomery october 23.-( (Special)- The address of w. P c. Harding of Birmingham in behalf of the impor- tance of holding a centennial exposi- tion in 1919 in conmemoration of Ala bamas admission into the Union. was one of the most interesting of the day. MT. Harding spoke of the ma gnitude of the proposed celebration, its importance as an advertising medium, and that methods should be pursued in order to make the exposition success: Mr. Harding spoke as follows:
 In considering a plan and form of organization for the proposed Alabama centennial, 1t will be assumed that there is in contemplation not mere county fair, but a real exposition, sufficiently broad and comprehensive in it's scope as to attract exhibits and visitors not only from all parts of Alabama. but from every state in the union, as well as from for eign countries. The exposition will be held to commemorate the Tooth birthday anniversary of our great state, and it should be so planned and executed as to be in every way worthy of the oc- casion.
 The idea of holding expositions to commemorate an event is not novel one. Many notable expositions have been held during the last 50 years abroad as well as In this country, such as the Crystal Palace In London and the Exposition Uni verselle in Paris in 1867. the Worlds Fair at Vienna, one at Turin, and the great exposition at Paris a number of years ago, of which the Eiffel Tower IS a lasting monument. The Centennial Ex- position at Philadelphia in 1876 was the first great Worlds Fair to be held in this country, and up to this time 1t has been surpassed in magnitude and attrac- tiveness only by the Worlds Columbian Exposition at Chicago m 1898 and by the Louiaciana Purchase Exposition at s. Louis in 1904,
 "Other notable oxpositions of less mag ntude were held in Louisville in 1888, New Orleans fin 1885. Atlanta in 1895, the Ten- nessee Centennial exposition at Nashville In 1897. in Buffalo in 1901, tt Norfolk In 1907 and in Seattle in 1ooe. During tho year iodb expeditions will be held in San Francisco and San Dieso, Cal, to ccle- brRta the opening of the Panama canal. The San Francisco exposition promises tn eclipse all othors. AS tho public mind, h considering expesitiona, has become ae- eustemed ta large eutiays of money, at- trnetive surroundings and elaborate dn- plays, It ia evident that plans for tho Ala- hafnh centennial must ba comprehensive. and must provide I complete and attrao. tive exhibit of our mechanic arts aiid iH- dustries. minerals. soils and agricultural products, 90 combined with scenic ef.

TEN REASONS ARE
 GIVEN BY SHELBY

Montgomery October 23.--(Special.)--- Ten reasons were assigned by John w Sibley, president of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. for selecting Bir- mingham for the location of the cen tennial exposition MT. Sibleys ad- dress was as follows:
 Our conception of the modern exposi- ton idea is that it is intended to mark the march of progress and achievement, as well as be commemorative of some historical event. And its purpose is to attract attendance from the outside, with the hope that the varied displays of the resources and products of our commonwealth may induce many per- sons to cast their lot with us and by their labor and capital help work out the grand destiny ahead of us
 We trust that your honorable body will therefore not permit your Judgment to be swayed by sentiment in arriv ing at your decision in this matter We have naught to say against any other city seeking this honor, but believe they will all rally to the support of this stupendous undertaking after you have once decided that Birmingham Is the place to hold this centennial exposition. We cite the following reasons for your so deciding:
 "1. Birmingham Is the largest city in the state. having within a radius of 10 miles. according to the United States census bureau, a population of 211.00o, which at the present rate of increase, in 1919 will be over 350,000
 ''2. Birmingham is 30 miles nearer the geographical center of the state than any other of the larger cities. and it is the center of the white population of the state.
 "3 Birmingham's transportation faciliti- ties, both from points in the state of Alabama and from the surrounding states, are superior to those of any other city in the state. and 1t is the only city in tho

that an exposition be held in 1919 com memorating Alabama's admission into the union. The resolution was brilliant tribute to the states greatness, and was in the following language:
 Whereas. Alabama will reach the one hundredth anniversary of her admission into the federal union on December IA, anno domini 1919. and that date will round out a century replete with great material achievement and development; and
 That the people of Alabama, who to- day share the bountiful harvest result ing from the wise and intelligent plant ing and toll of the fathers, and not un- mindful of the deep and permanent obli- gation which rests upon them as the in- heritors of the priceless benefactions of peace, happiness and prosperity which they now enjoy, propose to hold in the year Anno Domini One Thousand Nine Hundred and Nineteen a great centennial and exposition; and
 That the said centennial and exposition will afford a splendid, and unrivaed op- portunity for the presentation of the his tory and memorials of 100 years of noble and patriotic annals for the display Of the unexampled resource of field, forest and mine and for the exhibition of the achievements of our people In agriculture, manufacture and the arts.
 "Therefore, be it resolved by the Ala bama centennial and exposition commit tee, appointed by his excellency. Governor Emmet O'Neal, and representing every section and interest of the state that a centennial and exposition, befitting the growth and aspiration of a great and prosperous state be held in Alabama in the year Anno Domni One Thousand Nine Hundred and Nineteen, and that all other further details in connection herewith be determined Tn the future de- Alterations of this committed

No better test of any article can be

Read the following:

firm all I satid in praise of Doan's
Kidney Pills when I publicly recon-
mended them three years ago, and I
again advise their use to anyone
afflicted with kidney trouble. This

back was weak and I could not stoop
without having sharp, shooting pains
throughout my body. I had attacks
of dizziness and nervousness and 2
kidney weakness caused me no end of
annoyance. My husband finally got
