FRIEND OF GOVERNOR ALSO SAYS WEAK MEN WERE KEPT IN
 LINE BY MONEY.
GOV. GLYNN DEMANDS OFFICE
Executive Turns Letters Over to Coun. sel, Who Will Advise Him What to Do-Mrs. Sulzer Improved-
 Lawson Offers Aid.

Albany, Aug. 16.-Following a long conference with Gov. Sulzer, his per- sonal adviser and friend, James G. Garrison, made the charge that money had been used by opponents of the governor to buy four votes for the res olution of impeachment.
 T charge now and positively" said Garrison in the anteroom of the ex- ecutive chamber, that Tammany paid cold cash for the four votes 1t needed to pass this resolution. It also used money to keep wavering votes in line. We will be prepared to prove this be- fore we are through. There are some gentlemen mixed up in this conspir- acy who are headed straight to jail. That is all care to say at this time"
 Formal demand was made by Lieut. Gov. Glynn on Gov. Sulzer for posses sion of the executive offices, in a let ter setting forth that because of the impeachment proceedings instituted by the assembly he and not Sulzer is now de facto head of the state gov ernment
 The letter was framed by Edwin Countryman and Patrick c. Dugan, at torneys for Glynn, and under an ar rangement was delivered to Gov. Sul- ger. Sulzer refused to announce in advance what his action would be. He said the demand would be passed upon by his own lawyers and the an swer made in due and proper time"
 It is understood that Glynn's attor- neys will apply to a justice of the su- preme court for an order formally re- straining SulZer from exercising his powers as governor. Should this be done, it would have the effect of squarely joining the issues involved before a legal tribunal.
 Secretary of State Mitchell May called at Lieut.-Gov. Glynn's office Glynn as the acting governor of the state. He declared that so far as his department was concerned from now on only Glynn would be considered in official communications as governor.
 Indications were that the question of whether Sulzer was automatically suspended with the presentation Of the impeachment resolution to the senate would be expedited in the courts. Both sides want quick an swer to this, because neither Sulzer nor Glynn desires to have his actions declared illegal, but up to the present time their attorneys have been unable to agree on plan whereby test case could be made. They are now devoting their energies to this end. Unless they can agree 1t is likely that the state will continue the spec tacle of two men discharging the du ties of governor.

Gov. SuIzer Still Confident.

Gov. Sulzer professes to be more confident than ever that he would not have to answer the impeachment pro- ceedings. He reiterated his declara- ton that they were illegal, but he de- clined to explain how he hoped to en- join the state from trying him.
 Mrs. Sulzer is reported as some what improved.
 Announcement from Saratoga that former State Senator Edgar Truman Bracket had been retained as chief attorney for the assembly impeach- ment managers made it certain that the states case would get strong presentation. Bracket has special ized most of his life in constitutional law.
 The report that Gov. Sulzer was planning to cause the indictment of the Tammany leaders responsible for his impeachment was not confirmed in the offices of District Attorney San. ford It was said there that no at- tempt had been made to call the at tention of the prosecutor to any viola tion of the law. Attorneys familiar with the situation said there did not seem to be any statute which would make officials liable, even though it

quired great foresight and careful
study. And since it has been once es-
tablished the work is not diminished.
Service and Quality
In building up the business of the
Cosby company, two features have been
made paramount. Quality of goods has
been the first consideration, and service
to customers the second 1t is due to
policy rigidfy following these fea-
lures that the success of this company
has been so pronounced, and that Bir-
mingham is regarded as the Southern
headquarters and distributing point for
flour and grain.
The Cosby company is located at
2123-2125-2127 Morris avenue. Here are
the general offices and the flour ware
houses while the grain and hay ware
houses and elevator is located on the
Seaboard and Belt railways at Avenne
A and 18th street. The main elevator
and grain warehouse covers lot 250
by 14o feet, and is the most pretentious
structure of the kind in the state, ii
not in the south. In this mammoth
building a sufficient stock is kept at
all times to supply the normal demands
of a large portion of Alabama, Geor-
gia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Florida.
The latest and most complete equip
ment has been placed in this building,
and it's erection has simplified the
handling of large orders to an enor-
nous extent. solid train load of
grain may now be handled at this es-
tablishment . in an incredibly short
time, whereas in former conditions
much time and money was spent IN
loading and unloading, while other
features were also unsatisfactory. And
We're it not for the large reserve stocks

there would at times be grain famine;
this would have been true during re-
cent floods.
Some Well known Brands.
Almost everybody IN the south is ia
miliar with ROLLER Champion" flour.
1t is one of the best known brands
in the country. and has been made
popular throughout the southern states
because of the manner in which it has
been handled by this company. This
flour is milled from the choicest Mich
igan white wheat, and is the product Of
the Valley City Milling company of
Grand Rapids. 1t is made to order for
the Cosby company and shipped here
in train load lots. This firm takes
the mills entire output of Roller Cham
pion the year around. 1t comes either
in sacks or barrels the greater portion
being in the former style.
Another equally satisfactory brand al
though not quite so we'll known in this
territory is the "Idahome' flour. This
is a comparatively new brand, but it
has made rapid progress, and today is
one of the best sellers on the market.
1t is made from the best quality of
Idaho wheat which is grown on thor
oughly irrigated land. as in this way
the finest wheat is obtained, and 1t is
milled at Twin Falls, Idaho.

COSBY COMPANY
HASBIG BUSINESS

In late years Birmingham has come
into its own as the center of the flour
and grain business for a large section
of the south. The city is looked upon
as a large distributing point for the
south by many of the large millers and
grain dealers of he>.northwest and far
west This has been due to a number of
normal causes such as exceptional ship
ping facilities, the largest private elc-
yator in the south, ETC., but more espe-
cially to the prompt service and the
accommodations furnished the buying
trade in this section
For more than 25 years the w. NJ.
Cosby Flour and Grain company has
been recognized as the leaders in their
line not only for Birmingham and the
state of Alabama, but for large sec
tion of the south as well, as the work
accomplished by this firm Is largely
responsible for the existing conditions.
To undertake to furnish the flour
that daily gives food for thousands rf
persons is no small undertaking, and

by the Cosby company is one which re-

ers in South
II, !. cu.pLrNE HODGES.

Durng the recent floods in the middle
states which entirely cut off transporta-
ton on grain and gratis products into the
greater part of Alabama for two weeks,
Birmingham showed that it was abreast
with the times, for with its elevator
capacity of 15o,o0o bushels of grain it not
only took care of the wants of the BIZ
ningham district. but shipped feed and
reedstuffs into all parts of Alabama. II
Birmingham had not had this large sup
DIV on hand the horses and mules in the
state would have suffered.
Birmingham is the logical distributing
point for feed in Alabama for several
reasons First, we are centrally located
to receive shipments from the farmer
and to reship his products to the con-
sumer in various parts of Alabama We
have the best railroad accommodations
Of any city in the SOUTH.
1t is a deplorable fact, however, that
but only two counties in the state have
TO my knowledge ever offered corn Tor
sale on this market and that only once
Or twice during my experience. Alabama
should not only raise all of the hay 1t
uses. but all the corn and oats, and the
sooner the farmer realizes this fact the
cheaper he will be enabled to raise his
crop.
About s. per cent of the hay used in
the Birmingham district is Alabama
raised hay, consisting mostly Of johnson
grass and alfalfa, which when properly
cured makes the best feed hay in the
world The raising of alfalfa hay in
Alabama should be pushed by the farmer
Tor the reason that he is able to get from
II to SO a ton more for his hay fob. the
nearest railroad station than the western
farmer can for his hay. If there is
money in raising hay at $S to $40 ton to
The western farmer, it certainly looks as
though the farmers of the south could
profit by it on the basis of s17 to $50
A ton. Alabama raises very little oats
and wheat. The former, however, could

The acreage is gradually being increased

Birmingham is one of the largest flour
distributing points in the south, having
without q question some of the largest
sealers in flour of any city in Dixie, and
covering all the states east of the Mis-
sissippi river with travelling representa-
ives.
The Birmingham flour and feed dealers
nave gained business for themselves by
Advertising heavily in various ways and
especially through the pages of the news
papers. The get-together spirit of the
Birmingham merchants has also con-
.ributed largely and will continue to con-
tribute to the assured success of the Bir-
ningham district

Gate milled in Oklahoma, is another
recent brand which Is gaining much
favor through this section. and in
Gold Mine this firm has a spring
wheat flour that is unsurpassed and Is
very popular with bakers everywhere.
In these six brands the Cosby com
pany has the most popular flours to be
had in the world, and the success which
has attended the company speaks vol
umes for the brand of goods they have
handled. Their trade has grown stead
lily from year to year until the bust
ness hasn't an equal in the south. The
large stocks carried at Memphis and
Montgomery assists materially in Civ
ing quick service.
Many Other Food Stuffs.
The business of the Cosby company
is not limited to flour and grains for
stock, however. "Perfection' brand Of
corn meal is a popular seller. and the
amount shipped from the local ware
house runs into the thousands and the
tens of thousands each year.. Corn
meal is, and will continue to be, great
seller. In fact. it is hardly possible
that anything will ever take it's place
among certain people. The Cosby com
pany is well equipped to handle any or
der for this and they have provided
a mum ber of private brands which have
a large sale.
Cottonseed meal and also cottonseed
meal products are carried by the com
pany, as wen as Kaffir corn wileal
milo maize. and a general line of all
kinds of standard grain and hay. At
certain seasons the company has buy
ers on the road whose sole business it
is to determine where the choicest

tanned. OF late years there has been a
steadily increasing demand in the south
for alfalfa hay, and the company Is pre-

COFFEE TRADE IS
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Majority of That Sold Here
Blended and Roasted in
Birmingham

Birmingham's coffee trade amounts
TO shipments OF more than $4,000 bags
each year and as each hag of coffee
weighs 1S2 pounds the volume of the
industry is easily seen.
In the city there are three big whole
sale coffee houses which import their
coffee from South America. roast it
in their own roasters, blend it into the
different brands that go out under the
Birmingham companies names, can it
| and ship it to all parts of the country.
one firm alone will do business
amounting to the roasting and blending
of more than 10000 bags.
Ninety per cent of the coffee i'm
ported by the local wholesalers comes
from Santos, where the higher grades
of coffee are generally obtained. 1t
is shipped here by boat via New Or
leans and by rail in carload lots 1t
comes in rough canvas bags each one
holding about 1873 pounds and branded
with the grade of the bean.
When the green coffee bean is first
taken from the bag in the importing
house it looks very much like the half
of shucked peanut-only that the col
ors of the various qualities vary from
yellowish green.
Blending Is Important
The first process under which the
coffee goes is probably the most i'm
portant one so far as the popularity os
the brand is concerned For that pro-
cess is the blending and to accomplish
that perfectly and hold the flavor con-
slant requires the work of experts who
have spent their lives in the business.
Often from four to six different grades
of coffee bean are placed together in
one blend-one grade to furnish the
proper body; another the flavor; a third
the strength. and so on until the exact
proportion has been attained. Then the
beans thus blended together are turned
into the roaster, where under a white
heat from the coke below they are re-
volved about at lightning speed over
porus cylinders for half an hour, until
the roasting and the blending of tine
beans is complete.
From the roaster the coffee is taken
ESQ pounds at a time to the great sieve
pan, Wnefe other WoIkmen clean the
Drowned beans of every particle of for
eign matter. Sometimes as much as
20 pounds of rocks or sticks from South
America are found in a single PAINFUL
of tile coffee, but when it leaves the
pan and is dumped down the chute into
barrels it is as clean as though it had
been Numbered
Ground and Canned Here
Most of the roasted coffee made in
Birmingham is also ground here and
canned before 1t can lose particle of
its natural flavor or aroma. But there
has grown up also great bulk coffee
trade and the wholesale coffee houses
now send farth to all parts of the coun-
try hundreds of barrels of coffee
month, roasted. cleaned and blended,
but left unground for the retailer or
the consumer.
Not all coffee, of course, is blended,
but all the higher grades are very
carefully blended One of the largest
coffee roasters in the city said: The
greatest part of the trade that the Bir-
mingham coffee men have is in the best
classes of coffee. Hardly any We send
out sells for less than 40 cents and
all of it between 80 and so.

Wholesale manufacturers of ice cream
in this city not only supply the Blming-
ham district with practically all of the
frozen delicacies it consumes, but a largo
portion of the state as well. The tons Of
ice cream which so out from these fac
tories every year Is manufactured from
the best materials and in the most sani-
tary manner possible As in the case OF
the manufacture of many other focdstuffs
human hands do not touch the product
from the time that its ingredients are
mixed until it has been served at the
lunch, for dinner. or at a soda fountain
or refreshment store.
Special machinery is used in the modern
Ice cream manufacturing plants OF Bir-
mingham, which not only cut down the
cost of production, but vastly increase its
superiority. In the olden days it was
customary to make ice cream in a small
freezer, which was laboriously operated
by arm power. The results obtained in
this way We're unsatisfactory. even for
FAMILY use, and the hand freezer has
been relegated with other derelicts of tho
