BIRMINGHAM AS THE
NEXT REUNION CITY
Prominent Veteran Sug-
gests COnfederates Be In
vited Here in 1914
BY W. p. THOMpsoN

Mountain Creek. March 1s.-e Especially
A member of the Confederate colony here
has suggested that the next Confederate
reunion be held in Birmingham in 1914.
Now, in this convention 1t seems that
Birmingham has a splendid opportunity
Of securing this prize. When it is remem-
bered that this is a southern states affair,
and that fair estimate of 10000 strangers
will attend, and that the small figure
of Sc for each individual to use during
the convention OF three days, then, with
100000 receipts in sight, it seems some-
thing worth the attention of the business
men of Birmingham.
There is two months time to work on
the proposition before the Chattanooga
reunion, when the matter will be decided.
Already four other cities are in the
field. viz, Richmond, Va, Charleston, S.
c., Jacksonville, Fla, and San Antonio,
Tex, Birmingham, from a geographical
standpoint, is central of the southern
states, and the expenses in railroad fares
alone is much in favor of influencnggdel-
egates to Chattanooga reunion to vote
for Birmingham, as the next reunion city
needs no argument to convince the av-
erage man of its advisability.
There is but one way to secure this
prize, and that is for the board OF trade
to act, and that action and effort to be
by sending to Chattanooga, where the
delegates will assemble, a proposition to
be presented there by business men urg-
ing the selection of Birmingham for the
purpose mentioned.
If the business interest of the city
show a disposition to secure the conven-
ton, then, the railroads interested and
centering there will be up and doing.

UNTOLD DAMAGE
BY STORM IN BUTLER
Greenville Suffers Heavy
Loss From Water-The
Railroads Crippled

Greenville, March 1s.-(Special.) The
terrific rain fall OF the last part of last
week has done untold damage to the peo-
pie of this section of the state. The
farmers who have already planted their
crops have suffered much loss.
The city OF Greenville has suffered much
loss In bridges and washed up streets.
The water plant lost several cars Of coal.
"A number of stores in West Greenville
sustained loss by water backing up into
then a few inches deep.
Greenville is completely shut off from
she south further than Chapman. The
louisville and Nashville Railroad conf
pany is operating one train daily to
Montgomery and Chapman, as No. and
Mo. G. The tracks in many places be-
tween the two points are washed, unes-
timated loss is sustained by the railroad.
Boiling, nine miles south of Greenville,
}<Was completely under water and the
houses and stores were several feet deep.
Much damage done to their goods.
At Chapman the large saw mill town
- miles south OF Greenvile. resembled
= sea. All houses were partially under
water and many people had to abandon
their homes. Traffic was made by small
row boats from one house to the other.

GENERAL OPINION
IS THAT AN EXTRA
SESSION IS CERTAIN

FISCAL DEFICIT MAY

Financial Outlook
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, March s.-tSpecial. .a-Will
one of the results of the theft of Theo
Lacy be an extraordinary session of the
legislature?
Unauthorized opinion answers, yes. :,
The governor would reply. Not If I
can prevent it."
But can the chief executive prevent It?
There is the real question,
Some time ago. Governor O'Neal ir-
structed Examiner W. r. willkerson to
render a statement setting out the f1nan-
cial condition of the commonwealth, with
an estimate showing approximately the
deficit which will have accrued by the
end of the fiscal year, September 90.
Treasurer John Puriroy was also in
structed to make a similar statement.
Both statements have been rendered,
although the net result of each has never
been published. 1t is learned, however,
that between the two statements, there
is comparatively little difference.
According to the examiner at the end
of the fiscal year there will be deficit
OF 100000. According to the treasurer, at
the end of the fiscal year, there will be a
deficit of s2S0,000.
4
to the devlopmnt of the scandal in TIE
convict department. Before that scan
dal, 1t was the general belief among
those close to the administration that
the governor would be able to weather
the storm of bills for which there were
no finances-without an extra session OF
the legislature. In view of the Lacy de
falcation, it is evident, from the fore
going figures,' that at the end of the
fiscal year, the deficit will be close &c
100000.
The governor hopes to obviate the ne
cessity of an extra session. Should the
lawmakers be called together. 1t Is abso-
lutely certain that some action now not
generally expected. would be taken.
With the legislature in it's present hu-
NOR, there would be no way of foretell-
ing with any degree of accuracy, to what
extent that most powerful body would
permit its vengeance to sweep.
But will there be an extra session? II
is a question for an echo to answer.
The governor has been so busy endeayor-
ing to ascertain If any other individual
save Lacy is to blame for the current
scandal that he hasn't given the question
of an extra session sufficient thought and
study to warrant him to answer.
