AN ARTESIAN WELL
ON CLUB PROPERTY
Stream Tapped at Birmingham Motor
and Country Club After Drilling
Through Sandstone

The Birmingham Motor and Country
club has located "A fine artesian well ON
it's property within 500 feet of the rear
of the club house.
The water is as clear as crystal, very
cold and of course absolutely pure. hav-
ing come from a great depth in the
grounds and Immediately after drilling
through a 45-foot ledge of sand rock
The well is six inches In diameter and
has been cased with iron piping thus In
suring that no other water gets into the
well.
a. w. Graves, the expert deep well
driller employed by the club states this
is one of the finest wells he has ever
drilled.
The well came in on THANKSGIVING morn
ing and was a pleasant surprise. It saves
the club the expense of connecting up
with the city waterworks. The club can
also run this artesian water direct into
the homes OF the club members who build
on the club property. This water Is be-
lieved to have medicinal properties and
the exact analysis is being made
On the afternoon of Thanksgiving large
numbers of the club members and their
friends motored or rode out on the Edge
wood car to the club to view the work
In progress of making the big lake and
speedway All were surprised at this big
stream of pretty crystal water gushing
out of the ground.

the customers to be late in returning to
their work.

OVERTON DECLARES
FOR MR.. UNDERWOOD
Wedowee Man Says Any State in the
Union Would Be Proud of
Such Senator

John W. Overton of Wedowee, who for
merly represented Randolph county i'm the
state senate, declared while in Brming-
ham yesterday for Oscar W. Underwood.
Alabama after an he said. lis a pc
culiar state. Were Underwood a repre-
sentative of Georgia, 1t would not be
necessary for him to make a struggle for
any office in the gift of the people, Here
however despite his record as a legisla-
tor, despite his ability which is recognized
and appreciated all over the United
States despite thre cleanliness of his po-
htical and personal life, we behold him
opposed for a seat in the United States
Senate.
ANY state in the union would be proud
to have Underwood its representative
Alabama is not necessarily honoring him
b ysending him to the Senate At any
rate, the bargain is fair. For Underwood
will honor Alabama in the Senate Should
as result of any eXigency, he be de-
feated, the shame would not be his. The
world would not laugh at Underwood.
But the world would laugh, you may rest
assured fthat"
Mr.. Overton stated his satisfaction in
his belief that Underwood would win by
landslide majority.

The Rev. ]. NJ. Broadly, pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, an
nounced yesterday that DR.. r. A. Ell
wood, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Atlantic City, N j., would be
his guest at the Fifth avenue ehurcn
night and would address the

DR.. Elwood is to speak at the Young

wide reputation as a speaker it is be-
lieved that large delegation of cit
liens Will be present
Gov. James f. Cox of Ohio. He will
speak as a man of large experience both
in business activities of his day, ,nc!ud-
ing that of journalism, and as a member
of Congress, and particularly as a gov
ernor of state which is now testing in
good faith various measures for indus
trial readjustment based upon changes of
fundamental law. 1t is the presumption
here that Governor Cox's address will be
devoted to the exposition of some Of the
modern ideals in business-ideals which
are practicable, such as the obligations
between employers and employees. between
labor organizations and employers. ard
between both of these and the general
public Governor Cox Is convinced that
there may be established perfectly prac-
ticable high ideals which will serve
greatly not only the general public. but
the railroads of the United States and all
of those who as employees or employers
are associated with them

Railway Business AssOcia-
ton to Have Meeting in
New York
POINT OUT NEEDS
FOR MORE CAPITAL
Howard Elliott and Governor James
F. Cox Are Expected to Present
Some Striking Arguments
for Advanced Rates
by HOLLAND


New York November s.-(Specia1)-on
the night of December Il there will be q
demonstration in New York city which
will furnish important moral support at
least to those who are now giving testi-
mony before the interstate commerce
commission at Washington In the railroad
rates.
Probably 700 or 800 business men will be
present at the fifth annual dinner of the
Railway Business association on the night
of December Ii. So far as Is known
every one of these business men is con-
vinced that the railway executives of the
eastern lines who are now asking permis-
sion to increase rates for freight by no
more than per cent are fully justified in
making application for this increase.
The members of the Railway Business
associations are for the most part en-
gagged either exclusively or partially in
manufacturing material and equipment
used in railway operations or are dealers
in miscellaneous railroad supplies. Not
one of them has active personal assocla-
ton with the management or operation
of the American railways. AS whole,
they represent probably the means of
livelihood of perhaps as many as S00,0OG
possibly more people in the United States.
Their aggregate capitalization is in the
hundreds of millions. They pay out every
year great sums in the form of wages
and they are among the first to feel the
effect of any depression in railway busi-
ness. The particular depression that af-
fects them now is that which is occa-
stoned by the enforced and rigid economies
which the railway managers have for
some years been compelled to adopt.

Benefit to General Business

On the other hand We're the railway
companies of the United States in position
to secure the fresh capital which is needed
for improvements and expansions, the
manufacturers and dealers who compose
the Railway Business association would
be the first to discover in their increased
business the benefit to general business
throughout the United States occasoned
by the regained credit of the railroads of
the kind which is able to secure fresh cap
ital. In this way activity would be in
fused into all business undertakings.
Therefore it is in part due to what is rec
ognized as perfectly proper self interest
that these manufacturers and dealers are
in warm sympathy with all reasonable
efforts so to improve conditions as to en-
able railroad companies to obtain such
needed new captal

Two Notable Addresses

At the annual dinner of the Railway
Business association there will be two
addresses delivered by men of compe-
tence to speak on the matter at issue.
Both of these addresses will undoubtedly
be brought, Informally at least to the
attention of the interstate commerce com
mission.
One of the addresses is to oe delivered
by Howard Elliott, chairman of ;he So
called New England lines. Mr.. Elliott
has masters hand in collecting ststis-
tics and in utilizing them 20 support an
argument. He is the only man now
prominently identified in American rail-
way activities who has been fortified by
long experience with the peculiar and
magnificent conditions of the great north
west and who lis also becoming every
day more and more familiar with the
somewhat strange and very peouliat con-
ditions which prevail In New England.
These conditions are now under legisla-
tive and official scrutiny. The addresses
delivered In the past three or four years
by Mr., Elliott In the northwest have
served to enlighten the people who have
made that great section prosperous. 50
that they now are becoming friends of
the railways, recognizing that the true
relation between the people and the rail-
roads is that of cooperation
Another address is to Do delivered by
