 This Afternoon

The centennial committee of the Chamber of Commerce will meet In the directors room this afternoon at 3 o'clock for the purpose of discussing plan of action toward bringing the Alabama state centennial to Birming- ham in 1919. The committee appoint ed some time ago by Governor O'Neal will meet in Montgomery October 23 and will probably take definite action on the matter.
 1t is understood that several other cities in the state besides Birmingham are after the big centennial and a large delegation from here will likely go to Montgomery to boost for the Magic City The opinion seems to be that Birmingham Is better equipped for. the centennial than any other city and that with the rapid growth of the city 1t Will have ample accommodations in 1919 to care for the big celebration The local committee consists of about 30 men, all of whom are expected to attend the meeting this afternoon.

The Chamber of Commerce Reviyes Movement De-
 layed Some Time Ago

The much discussed Manufacturers association for Birmingham, which oc- cupied the attention of the Chamber revived, and according to President Sibley, is certain to be formed within the next few weeks.
 Several months ago a committee of three members from the Chamber of Commerce went to Chattanooga and looked over the Manufacturers associa- ton in that city J. F. Ramsey and C. E. Foust were members of the com mIttee and reported that the work done by the Chattanooga association was of the very best. and was a great asset to the city. The plan is to form the manufacturers into an association which will be under the Jurisdiction of the Chamber of Commerce. The manufac- turers will have their own officers, but the work done by the association will be performed through the office of the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce.
 At the time that the matter was first brought before the Chamber of Com merce, other matters were more press ing. and the organization of the manu- lecturers was put off for the time be- ing. Several meetings of Birmingham manufacturers were held at that time. however, and the men were enthused over the prospects of an association. All of them were sure that a great good could be accomplished for the manufacturers. and for the city by such an organization. Now that the mat ter Is before the Chamber again 1t is stated that 1t will be pushed through within the next few weeks.

BANKHEAD COAL
 COMPANY SOLD
Purchaser Is Warrior Coal Company for Something
 Like $100,OO0

The TOO acres of land, equipment and all holdings of the Bankhead Coal com pany, of which J. H. Bankhead was pres ident, has been sold to the Warrior Coal company and possession was taken yes- terday The price paid was not given out here, but was in the neighborhood of sl0o, coo The coal mines are located at Carbon Hill, and have been in operation several years. The company has q ca pacity of 50O tons of coal per day, which is considered of a fine grade.
 Thomas A. Lewis of Bessemer is presi- dent of the new company. Fleetwood Rice of Tuscaloosa is vice president and w.. E. Bonham for 10 years superintendent for the Davis Creek Coal company, Rock Castle, is secretary and treasurer.
 The deal involving one of the best of the smaller operations in this immediate district was negotiated by W. E. Leake of this city, one of the best known mine experts in the district. It is said the trade has been pending for several weeks, but final consummation was hard to reach and the negotiations were su, essful only yesterday.
 The new owners, 1t is announced, will operate the mines for the time being at no greater capacity than 800 tons daily. which has been the established tonnage for some time. However, it is the inten- ton of the new owners 10 enlarge the operations within short time and in- crease the output. The mines sold have belonged to the Bankhead interests some time and have been successful in every way.
