Judge Lane is in need of a vacation,
his physicians state He has been on
duty throughout the summer, and his
health has not been of the highest order.
Mr. Weatherly has also, been on duty
throughout the summer, but it seems
that he has been able to stand the grind
of official business better than either OF
his contemporaries, Judge Lane or Mr..
Exum.
He announced yesterday that his health
was unusually good, and that with the
weight of the entire city on his shoulders.
he will not have to bend even to the min
ute angle assumed by Atlas when some
thoughtless political faction dumped the
world on his shoulders.

WEATHERLY WANTS
BURLAP IN FREE
Commissioner Wires Under
wood in Behalf of His
Farmer Friends

James Weatherly, acting president of
the city commission, is interested in
burlap. He is interested to the extent
of desiring burlap placed on the free
list. He feels that with duty on
buriap the southern farmer in his eff
fort to clothe and feed the world would
be Handicapped to a certain degree.
The commissioner yesterday wired
the following message sto Representa-
tive Oscar w. Underwood, leader of
the lower house of Congress, and per-
haps the most Influential man in re-
gard to tariff legislatio in either of
the houses:
Concerning the proposition to put
burlap on free list, have heen re-
quested by some of my farmer friends
to urge you to do all in your power
to relieve the southern farmers of this
heavy tax. If you can consistently use
your commanding influence to that end
feel sure that you would earn and
receive the friendly attitude of the en-
tire farming element in the south |
will be glad for you to acknowledge
receipt of this with any word of en-
enlargement you may be able to hold
out"
"I am a friend of the farmer" said
Mr.. Weatherly. "He is generally up
against it, And he is as faithful to
his duty as the cock which rotes in
clarion tone the break of dawn.
trust that nothing will be done by Con-
gress which will tend to increase his
burden hope that Mr.. Underwood will
be able to pass the word down The line
and remove the duty on burlap. l feel
sure that but for the fact that some
of his northern brethren might think
he was using his great influence in the
special interest of the south rather
than of the country as IL whole, he
would instantly get busy with the bur-
lap"
Mr. Underwood has been flooded with
kilograms from southern planters and
their friends. Congressman Clayton and
Congressman Dent have written a let
ter to the tariff conferees of the House
and Senate urging that burlap be put
on the free list.

NEXT CAMPAIGN FOR
CITY COMMISSIONER
ALREADY UNDER WAY
Rumored Yesterday That
DIR. Cunningham Would
Join Weatherly, Jones
and Lovelady in Fight

The campaign for the city commission ia
well under way.
The election is practically one year off.
but the candidates are already in the
field--or most of them are.
James Weatherly, present commissioner,
will ask for another term. Harry Jones,
former mayor will ask for a seat on the
commissions Dr. r. f. Lovelady, pres-
dent of the board of revenue, is anxious
to transfer his allegiance from the service
of the county to that of the city.
There will probably be another eandi-
date. 1t was reported yesterday that DR..
r. M Cunningham of Ensley, instead of
considering entering the race for successor
to oscar w. Underwood as Ninth dis
trict congressman, is considering taking
a fling for the chair of commissioner.
The campaign has not reached the tepid
stage, but it Is already causing specula-
ton. In some quarters there is fear that
Jones and Weatherly will effectively
divide the vote of Birmingham, that Love-
lady will win. In other sections, there is
the fear that DR.. Lovelady and Dr. Gun
of the suburbs that either Jones or
Weatherly will have a cinch.
The three announced candidates are
feeling the ground day by day. And II
would cause little SURPRISE were DR.. Gun.
ningham to follow suit within a reason.

| With an election every year, it is safe
prediction that unless changes in the COM

a municipal campaign is not under way
