thrill the hearts Of our peo-
pie with pride and impress
visitors profoundly with the
power and beauty of Bir-
mingham.
''rwere worth ten years of peaceful
life
one glance at this glorious array"
A parade at night, alle-
gorical in its nature, and
more appealing in scenic
charm than the famous night
pageants Of Mardi Gras in
New Orleans.
An entertainment at night
combining spectacular and
social features, graced by the
presence of the great chief
Of the united tribes, his
queen and court of warriors
and maidens, whose identity
will not be revealed until
then.
This is the briefest outline
OF the programme of the
chief events, the details of
which are now being worked
out. In addition there will be
other forms of diversion and
we hope to see the streets of
the city gay with Indian life
in moving masses of brilliant
colors. Arrangements are
being made to supply those
who wish to participate in
these impromtu parades with
head-dresses or full costumes
at nominal prices.
In brief, the "Potlatch" is
going to be worth while on its
merits as a spectacular fes-
tival.
1t will be worth much more
to Birmingham in its after ef-
fects.

The "Potlatch' button or

certain privileges.

With each button or hat

two voting coupons attached.

the great chief will present
a wampum belt, lined with

Our method Of financing
the festival will be by the
sale of "Potlatch" buttons
and hatpins. The price of
each is $1.00. We have
ordered fifteen thousand and
expect them here about the
18th of this month. The date
of sale will then be an

button or hat pin in advance
of the general offering.
The "Potlatch" button
(or hatpin) is symbolical.

vote of the ''Potlatch,'' and
the queen will present a sim

The coupons are for use in
this election, which will be
held on a given date in adj
vance Of the festival.
These privileges are in
tended merely to add to the
human interest of the oc-
casion. You are going to
buy the button because it
will be worth a dollar-to
you-to participate in this
magnificent get together
movement.
So be ready for the button
when the button is ready for

That is why the Chamber
of Commerce decided to fl
nance the "Potlatch' with a
popular subscription of $1.00
per capita.
We believe this plan will
fuse our citizens into an en-
thusiastic, harmonious mass,
capable of doing big things
hereafter. The possibilities
of this unity are alone worth
the effort.
We believe also that when
the people of Alabama and
adjoining states learn that
they are to be entertained
with spectacles and other
forms of diversion on funds
contributed by the citizens of
Birmingham en- masse, they
will come by thousands pre-
pared to look at Birming-
hame with the kindliest eyes.
And ever thereafter Biz
mingham will have a warm
place in their hearts-it will
be their city.
This result, too, will be
worth working for.
We are so confident that
the money will be raised by
this popular subscription we
have gone ahead with our
plans. These include:
The decoration of the city
on the Indian motif, with
novel and beautiful effects.
A great day parade, show

The "Potlatch" is an In
dian festival.
It is an occasion of rejoic-
ing, of good will, unbounded
hospitality and the exchange
of gifts.
The "Potlatch" as a CIVIC
festival, originated in Seat
tie. It has been a great sue
cess in attracting visitors,
drawing the people of the
town together and promot-
ing good will throughout
the northwest.
The Birmingham Chamber
of Commerce makes ack-
nowledgments to Seattle for
the idea, but we have worked
it over and adapted it to Biz
mingham and the south.
Our "Potlatch' will be
different-just as the noble
redmen Of the gulf states
were different from those OF
the Pacific coast. 1t will
have the fire and go OF Sc
attle's, with the added charm
of southern customs and at
mosphere.
The fundamental idea OF
Birmingham's "Potlatch" is
hospitality. Birmingham
will be at home to the peo-
ple of this section of the
south April 24-25. The
"Pot" will bubble with good
things for all and the "latch-
string" will be out to all.
In other words this is not
a commercial undertaking
lit is a great get-together'
event, free from sordid con-
siderations.

scores of other cities of the south The
new supreme court building at Talahas-
see will be floored with "Adafnantlle;"
1t will floor the county courthouse at
Osceola, Ark. and has been specified IN
the construction of a. seven-story apart
ment building at Montgomery.
Every tile is manufactured by hand
and the work is performed by men who
learned the business from their fathers.
The blending of the colors necessary to
the various designs takes n high degree
of skill, only acquired after years of
steady labor at the trade by men of more
than ordinary ability. All is manufac-
tured upon a piece work basis the price
paid being according to the
intracacy OF the design. That there is
profit In the business is shown by a re-
cent report made by a special committee
of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce, as
sisted by an expert accountant. This re-
port stated that IL the plant was operated
to its capacity the apparent profit would
be 100 per cent upon its capitalization.
The possibilities Of Egyptian tile manu-
facture, according to leading architects
of the southern states, are practically un-
limited. The demand is constantly in
creasing and while various kinds of baked
and glazed tile are on the market, build
ers are profiting by experience and prefer

chinery has made its manufacture possible
in large quantities and of intricate de-
sign. The floor tile of the Egyptians was
noted in its day and the methods of
Egypt were adopted by the Romans, the
Greeks, the Italians and finally by the
Germans and Spaniards, who, through
hundreds of years, alone retained the
secret of its manufacture. exported vast
quantities to other countries. Alabama
tile, known by the trade name of Ada
mantile," bids fair to pecome '1uaiiy
noted. for the demand for the product Is
increasing by leaps and bounds and it Is
but the question of q short time until the
plant at Mobile win be taxed to double
its capacity
The plant of the National Mosaic Floor
ing company, where "Adamantile' Is
manufactured. is located on tract OF ten
acres in the southern portion Of mobile
adjoining the tracks of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company, by which
it is directly connected by a private sid
ing. Its daily capacity is approximately
1900 tile and the investment in the busi-
ness at tho present time is considerably
in excess of s75,00O. With the plant run
ming upon full time, 125 men are employed,
ell skilled artisans, at good wages. Inc
main building of this plant Is $50 feet IN
length and 175 feet in width, and installed
therein are 8s hydraulic presses for the
manufacture of floor tile with all neces-
sary equipment to manufacture in great
quantities. The plant also includes de-
partments for the manufacture of the
molds used In the business, big power

bill Is necessary in such cases: there
fore, we have not taken the time nor
put the county to the expense of maxi
Ing prolonged examination of such
complaints.
We have been impressed with one
great evil that exists in this county
and that is the justices of the peace
We do not mean to condemn them all
as a class, but we do believe that such
a system is antiquated and is unfit
for our present condition. We be-
lieve that where ones compensation
as a judicial officer Is dependent upon
the number Of cases that he has, that
evil must necessarily result. Our at
tention has been directed to instances
where such officers In conjunction with
constables have been the means of op-
pressing the innocent and ignorant.
We know that there are honest and
conscientious justices, but the principle
under which they exist is wrong and
damaging. 1t is the sense of this body
that in every thiokly populated conf
munity there should be established
some other means of adjusting matters
other than the system of the justice of
the peace
I'VE would further recommend that
more comfortable chairs be furnished
to those who have to serve as petit
jurors in this court. We know that
many who serve as Jurors make sacri-
fices to do So and we feel that some
consideration should be given for their
comfort. We would further recon-
mend that the pay of Jurors be in
creased. We feel that the amount now
provided is unreasonably small. That
such service should not be entirely re-
garded as one for profit but the re-
muneration should be at least firm.
I'm conclusion we desire to thank the
various officers for their courtesies and
for aid rendered us. and we ask that
your honor discharge us from further
performance as such grand jury. Very
respectfully submitted,

foreman OF the Grand Jury"
