aver that they are well organized and

The White Lily; An Alleg0ry

]. b. Wright, Jr., in the Augusta
Chronicle
To the Memory Of DR.. j. T. Plunket.
There was once in Life's spring-t time
a glorious day
When the birds sang sweeter and soft
er their lay,
And the, flowers were fairer, and purer
the air.
For there bloomed that day a Lily,
more rare.
And all nature heard of this wonder
And all nature came to the White
Lily's Bower
Then the White Lily told to man, bind
and beast,
The beautiful tale of Star in the
East,
That shone one night on a sorrowing
earth,
While angels sang of the Savior Kings
birth.
SO wondrous was this and others he
told
OF a Shepherd. who gathered lost sheep
to his fold,
of a city resplendent, more brilliant
than gold,
OF the love of a King which ne"er
grows cold;
That there came to the Lily from far
and near
Great multtudes daily those stories to
hear.
And many were helped by the wonder
full Flower
And many We're saved in the White
Lilys Bower.
| The hot summer through. still the
stories were told,
| Though heard DER and Ger they never
grow old.
Men moved from their homes in lands
far away, -
And lived near the flower that taught
them to pray.
Till Autumn approaching, the Frost
King beside.
And stopped by The Lily and wished
to abide.
Then sad nature dropped. while the
kind Oily toldu
To Autumn the tale that never grows
old.
But Autumn. like age. has heart OF
pure gold,
What though their hands and theii
breaths he cold.
And Autumn wept when the White
Lily fell,
And Autumn slept meath the FROST
Kings spell.

Citizens of Birmingham should re-
member that on the efforts of everyone
of the 1850 or more commercial travel
ers that travel out of Birmingham
that on the efforts of every one of these
cheerful, energetic, business-lke indi-
viduals the welfare of fifty to one
hundred workmen depends; that it Is
he who keeps the mills and the fac
tories at work; that in Birmingham
'the jobber, the manufacturer and
wholesaler" depends on his efforts
Throughout his territory from day to
day to dispose of it's output and keep
its employees at work.
The Chamber of Commerce has recog-
nized him as the Magic City's' great
est asset; and it is beginning to dawn
on the city in general that the Bir-
mlngham travelling man who is known
for his patience under rebuff; his per-
severance in the pursuit of trade; his
disregard of personal discomfort and
the petty hardships of traveling his
unfailing optimism and boosting of the
Magic city" under all circumstance
that he is a powerful--if not the most
powerful factor in the progress and de-
lvelopment of Birmingham.
BY 1914, the secretary of the United
Commercial Travellers estimates that
there will be 1000 commercial travellers
selling out of Birmingham. They are
welcomed. The more the better for this
city. AS they increase in numbers SO
will the Magic City" increase in
prosperity and progress.

EPPERSON LOOKS
FOR BANNER YEAR

II. II. Epperson, the we'll known
travelling man, was located last Satur-
day afternoon in his city sample rooms
in the Potts building on First avenue
and talked on his impressions of busi-
ness at present and the future months
He said:
"rhe year 1913 will be memorable
one to the man on the road for bust
ness in the south is on the goom
Every day in meeting with acquainl-
ances on the road and talking over al
fairs the one topic of conversation is
the excellent outlook in the business
world which means prosperity to all
the manufacturer, jobber, wholesaler,
retailer and consumer.
Rural Alabama is at the present
time enjoying remarkable trans
formation Of prosperity There is de-
mand-a strong demand throughout the
state for every known commodity and
prompt payments are the rule. With
such a state of affairs 1T is no wonder
that all the travelling men are in an
optimistic frame of mind and the
manufacturers, jobbers and wholesalers
looking over the catalogs of 1914
models of automobiles with anticipat-
ing eyes"

DAVIS CREED FOR
TRAVELLING MEN

A. Jax Davis, secretary of local coun-
ell. United Commercial Travellers, 1i2, and
also a salesman of proved ability, gave
out to his friends last week certain rules
which he SAYS If followed will bring sue
cess to every travelling man. The rules

y believe in the goods | am selling,

after, that one order today is worth
two orders tomorrow. and that no man is
down and out until he has lost faith in
himself.
II believe in today and the work / am
doing in tomorrow and the work | hope
10 do and in the sure reward which the
future holds.
Il believe in courtesy. in kindness, in
generosity, in good cheer, in friendship
and in honest competition.

for every man who is ready to take one.'

Murray Brown, the inventor of the so

says:
After all the fine talk about psychology
and so forth necessary in craftsmanship.
the one greatest of all gifts a man can

not plod he is as a tinkling symbol and
sounding brass, for he will never reach
the portals of the successful salesman.
1T is not one SALE nor a dozen. which

In the distribution of American
manufactures a very important part is
played by the travelling salesman. In
Alabama a most important part is play
ed by the commercial men travelling out
of Birmingham in its trade develop
ment Opinions differ as to whether the
travelling man is Indispensable, but it
is safe to assert that 1t will be long
time before he is eliminated as fac
tor in American commercial life
with cheap postage and tireless
printing press. more or less determined
efforts have been made from time to
time to do without the services of the
commercial traveller, but few manufac-
turers have solved the problem of dis
pensing with his services; hence, he
continues to be regarded as the indis-
pensible missionary of trade.
He is indeed the missionary of trade.
He is the maker of the so-called cap
tains of industry and as class, the
commercial travellers of America are a
credit to their country. The 1850 or
more who travelled out of Birmingham
are more than a credit to Birmingham
they. are the makers of Birmingham
and he most persistent boosters the
Magic City" can boast of.
The commercial men who claim Bir-
mingham as their residence have
proven themselves patriotic and true
citizens of upbuilding qualities. They
go out into the highways and byways
of the state and adjoining states and
return with haste to their families
whenever the exigencies of business
will permit. They always exhibit a
high type of citizenship and are noted
for their progressiveness and public
spirit-while in the communities Of
Alabama and adjoining states which
they visit in their eternal quest 10
place Birmingham commodities they are
ever welcome and their presence sheds
unbounded joy.
