Captains Meet at Luncheon
Yesterday at 1890 o'clock the captains
of the campaign teams held luncheon
and final organization meeting at the
campaign headquarters. They reported
on the enlistment OF workers on their va
rious teams and discussed the business
end of the coming campaign-how to get
the money. Chairman Culpepper Exum
of the campaign executive committee pre-
sided and made q strong appeal for the
movement.
1t was an enthusiastic crowd. They are
going out after s125.000 and nobody in town
realizes the work they have tackled any
better than they do. I'VE realize it is
big task, that we are going to meet with
men who will try to turn us down." said
Chairman Exum. But we also realize
that we are going to get what we're after.
Birmingham has never failed yet and she
will not fail this time. The need of the
dispensary is our best argument. Many
of our citizens already realize that. but
there are some who do not and these We
will make realize it,
The roll of the captains was called and
the team members of each team was read
after his captains name. Practically
every captain had his team in working
order, but there were one or two who still
had man or two to notify. The working
method OF the campaign was explained
and each captain promised to be on hand
at the Inauguration dinner tonight, where
there are to be places reserved for each
captain and his seven team members.
Pound Is Enthusiastic
Tom Pound, the well known railroad
engineer, stated that he didn't know who
had started the story that he was going to
lay off work 10 days in order to take part
in the campaign, but nevertheless he
stated that in order to have that individ-
uars reputation he had done that very
thing and that he was going into it for all
he was worth.

we're all generals. / know the city of
Birmingham is going to get in behind this
thing We raised $250,000 for the Young
Mems Christian association in 10 days, and
il we can't raise this $l25,O0o for the dis
pensary, then we'll have to hang our
heads in shame. | simply don't see how
any one can turn down the proposition"
NJ. III. Mcdowell of Ensley stated that
his section of the city was very strong
for the dispensary. 1--WE have more of the
working people out there than probably
any other section" said Mr.. Mcdowell,
"and that's why we need it, We are i'll
terested in it because we believe we need
it and we are going to work for it our
very best"
Dr. J. d. S. Davis stated that some Of
the influential negroes of the city had
been approached and the dispensary
movement explained to them and that
they had promised to do active work in
getting up a subscription campaign of
their own in behalf of the new dispensary
building. as they realized that their race
would profit very materially by the new
institution
Bessemer Is Interested
j. II. Persons of Bessemer said that he
would see that a team was organized IN
that city which would derive much bene-
IL fIa in sfi inn nd al ha+ Ha
hoped the leaders OF the campaign
through the newspapers would impress
upon the people of suburban birmingham
and such surrounding cities as Bessemer
that the dispensary meant just as mucl,
to them as to those living In the central
part of the city.
Chairman Exum of the campaign exec1i-
tive committee promises that none of the
MONDAY luncheons at u: 80 o'clock for re-
ports will last over an hour. Every cap
tain was asked to get into personal touch
with his team members and ask them TO
be sure to attend the Inauguration dinner
tonight.
