Without commenting upon his now
state famous ukase against the peanut
wiggle'' the kangaroo dip and the
goblin whirl," DR.. George H. Denny,
president of the University of Alabama,
ran the battery of newspaper men in
Birmingham yesterday.
His perfect diplomacy in gliding from
that topic whenever and wherever ap-
preached was delightful to experience He
would discuss art, science. literature, ed
lcation, baseball, newspaper work or the
frailties of all human kind with the best
OF humor, but when It came to dealing
with recently developed angles of the
Perpsichorean art. DR.. Denny was silent
jr at least 81 different languages.
That Tuscaloosa was the best and most
rapidly growing city in Alabama, that
1t was destined to be of tremendous in
fuence and power in this state. and that
birmingham, together with Tuscaloosa.
would create twin city proposition like
Minneapolis and st. Paul. were the optl.
mstic statements of the noted educator
He said that Tuscaloosa had long pos
sessed great culture and refinement. Now
the younger men are coming rapidly to
the front with commercial prowess and
business was humming in the Druid city
Tuscaloosa is a delightful place in
which to live" said DR.. Denny TT is
now great business city and destined
within few years to be even greater.
' BY the way, The Age-Herald made
tremendous mistake in not sending at
least half of its recent Sunday issue con-
tanning the Tidewater story TO Tuscaloosa.
|Ihe people there almost wentfwild about
| the statements by Mr.. Morris. The edi-
tion there was sold out quickly and finally
posted on a sign board for everyone to
read. That was of inestimable value to
Tuscaloosa and deeply appreciated.
'sour streets are being paved now by
a progressive commission, backed UP by
progressive property owners. We are
getting a gas plant and laying lines for
that We have an electric light plant

pany and the Central Iron company is

ter than an ordinary lumber camp. How
ever, 1t was like walking from two
story brick house into a modern sky
|soraper. No one can realize what the
Haul company, is doing at Tuscaloosa. BY
a great deal, that is the most tremen-
dous lumber plant in this section and
the most modern. That plant and the
civic scheme laid out there, as generally
understood is destined to be in the front
| rank of modernized industries. Tusca-
1oosa is very proud of the fact that Mr..
Kaul located his work near our city.
In every line of endeavor Tuscaloosa
| is coming to the front Educationally,
we are making progress and | wish to
|say that the University of Alabama is
|destined to be one of the greatest edu-
cational institutions in the country be-
|fore many years have passed and will
be SO recognized.
Taken from every viewpoint, ! be-
1ieve that Tuscaloosa is growing faster
than Birmingham Soon we will have
St Paul and Minneapolis here with
Tuscaloosa and birmingham. The pro-
posed interurban Tine of the Tidewater
railroad, which will as Mr.. Morris says.
linbottle Birmingham. will be vital fac
toi in the upbullding of the two cities
which are even now joined together by
unusual ties of friendship. 1t is sure to
be not far distant time when our city
viii be lined with industrial plants at
tracted by the river shipping facilities
and other advantages.
DIR. Denny was one of the principal
speakers at the Perkins dinner last night
