 The Rev. J. D. Simpson. president of Birmingham college believes Brming- ham can get the school al well as the Rev. l.. C. Branscombe. presiding elder of the Birmingham district.
 Dr. Simpson pointed out the advantages of Birmingham over any other city, and drew attention to the fact that in the Owenton property the church had acreage which will eventually be worth several millions of dollars.
 1t is believed that the Chamber of Com merce and prominent ministers will have a meeting in the next day or two and outline what campaign is to be launched to secure the college. No announcement was made yesterday in that connection, however.

'CULLMAN CROPS ARE
 IN SPLNDID SHAPE
Showers Fall Throughout the County This Week, Being of Great
 Benefit to Plants

Cullman, June 1s.-(SpeeiaL )--Show-
 CTS fell throughout Cullman Tuesday and Wednesday and have been general all over the county Farmers were get ting uneasy about their corn and gar den truck, especially. Cotton was not hurt seriously but another week of the continued hot wave would have af- fected the corn crop.
 Crops never were in better condi- ton than they are at present. The con tinued dry weather has enabled the farmer to keep his crop clean and now that the rains have come prospects never were brighter
 The strawberry crop has been gath cred and the money for it Is in the
 hands of the growers. While the yield was not as large as former years yet the amount received was fully as large as heretofore, the prices this season having been more satisfactory than last year.

ASA CANDLER IS MUCH IMPRESSED
Atlanta Millionaire Thinks Highly of Tutwiler and
 City In General

1 Asa G. Candler of Atlanta, head of 1 the Coca Cola company, who has been attending the Methodist commission
 meeting, returned to Atlanta yesterday afternoon with his brother Bishop Warren Candler. MT. Candler was yes 1 terday the guest of Crawford Johnson i at lunch, served at the Southern club.
 He met several of the prominent men | of the district. MT. Johnson had the following guests at the luncheon: MT. Candler, George Gordon Crawford. Maj. | E. NJ. Tutwiler. W. P c. Harding. Err skine Ramsay, John L. Kaul, W. H. Hassinger and Eugene L. Brown. ] MT. Candler confessed yesterday that
 in the Tutwiler hotel Birmingham had Atlanta beaten. He said that Atlanta,
 he expected, had more hotels than Bir- ! mingham, but nothing which could ap- proach in magnficence the Tutwiler. | He was very enthusiastic about the
 Tutwiler. saying that he had never vis- 1 ited a more perfectly appointed hotel in the United States. His opinion was also shared by other prominent visitors. "The Tutwiler is a grand place." said MT. Candler. Tt is really as fine place as I have ever seen. It does credit to Birmingham and will be one of the greatest instruments to further this city's growth. With this hotel this city can handle a large crowd adequate- ly and 1 am sure a great many con- ventions and meetings will be drawn to this city by reason of the Tutwiler.
 The employees of the Tutwiler are the most courteous l ever met in hotel The management has an organ ization that is thoroughly efficient They treated me very fine indeed and appreciate that" These remarks were directed to the men at the luncheon everyone of whom played some i'm. portant part in the construction of the Tutwiler.
 "I will say further that I was never more comfortable in a hotel than in the Tutwiler.
 'I am very much pleased with this city. I have been shown the new News paper club perched on top of the great 5-story Jefferson County Bank build ing. l have been shown your beauti- ful drives, the beautiful residential sections and I must say that Birming ham is really an eye opener. It is pity that the citizens of this city all low any person to leave here without seeing the great homes and drives. It changes one's opinion so materially of any place to see where the people live.
 T am very deeply interested in Bir- mingham. More so than I have ever been. I am going to keep Birmingham in mind and it may be that 1 shall be able in small way to help Birming ham in its laudable undertaking to become bigger and a greater city.
 'As to the Methodist college I can not say where 1t will be. There is one thing Birmingham has as good a chance as any city I know of The commit tee Is open minded and the thing to do is fight. As Dickins' character re- marked so often: 'Barkis is willing. l am sure the committee is willing to give the university to the best place in their judgment"
 While here Mir. Candler was dn- ner guest of Bishop James H. Mccoy.

BIRMINGHAM'S NEW "CTTY
 BEAUTIFUL" DEPARTMENT

Marigolds contain extremely tall and very dwarf types. The best of the tall types are found among the African marlgolds in Lemon Queen, Orange Prince, Eldorado, etc.
 The dwarf sorts are mostly French marigolds (also called tagetes).
 A most pleasing combination Is sug- gested in a solid bed of Orange Prince marigold surrounded by border of Le zion of Honor or Little Brownie tagetes.
 Little Brownie is an ideal little bor- der plant in connection with any plants, the colors of which blend well with yellow and dark red Become ac- quainted with this little six-inch an nual; it is adapted to many uses in the garden.
 Petunias would be better appreciated and are extensively grown if nature had provided coarser seeds It seems that this feature is responsible for the Tact that these otf efwise ideal annual plants are not found in more gardens. The almost dust-like seeds should be sown on the top of the ground and covered very sparingly

 Tick eradication is so fundamental and vital to the building up of a better az riculture in Alabama that there should be no recourse to law to get the people to do that. which is essentially and per manently best for them to do.

The practice in real life is that the
club stands for what the president |
thinks and does size wishes done.
The Office Of president becomes
more and more difficult from year -
year. as clubs develop more and more
and become more and more interest; |
ed in people and less and less inter
ested in such monldy and ineHA sub
stances As ancient history an6s cai-
terine.
The president of an organization
should be a real president. Nobody
loves a cats paw No matter if she
feelS that some other woman may
know more Of some particular thing
tnan n knows; no matter if certain
women like to be auoted as having
the presidents ear all Of the time. and
of really being the power behind the
throne; no matter who or what she is
the club has placed her, and not some
one else. in a position Of honor and
OF responsibility, and it is up to her
to prove that her club had coed judy
ment. The worst possible failure on
ones own responsibility is better than
any sort Of reflected glory. 1t is hard,
and il is often unpleasant to have to
keep ones power in ones own hands
against friends and foes. but it is the
only way.
Tact and diplomacy are w essen
tials- Honesty Of purpose and deep
seated notions of the value of the
clubs stability are good things to
cultivate. and they can only be cult
waited by use. The ultimate good of
the club is the one ideal from ever
lasting to everlasting. IL something
suffers because the club will not
stand for it. let it suffer-the club is
the first consideration. 1t is for the
president to decide many times, and
that is why she does not get too
much excited over apparently impor-
tant things which in reality are MY
much fuss and noise of very little
moment.
