A letter from MT. Crawford, inclosing the check for himself and Mir. Sevier g subscription, although of personal na- ture, Is so clever as to be worth repro auction.
 There are lots of other people who feel Just like MT. Crawford. and If they would do like he has done. Miss Fancy" will be fully paid for in few days. and may have enough left over to buy a red 'how- dah" in order that the children may ride her. Here is MT. Crawford's letter to MT. Barrett.

BOARD OF TRADE
 ID MEET TUESDAY Matters of Importance Will Be Acted On-Large Att
 tendance Expected

Board of Trade meeting of unusual interest is promised for next Tuesday afternoon at S:so o'clocK. There will be informal discussions Of subjects of great interest to all the merchants and an un- usually large attendance is expected.
 The Board of Trade has gone on record as being opposed to the proposed trash cans, containing advertisements, and this matter will be threshed out In detail. J. D. Rosenberger is chairman of com mittee that will bring the matter before the board of commissioners with view of getting them to abandon the idea, Pra ctically every merchant in the city, it is said is opposed to the trash cans with advertisements painted thereon, and petitions are being circulated. Practically every merchant on Third avenue yester- day signed petition asking the city commission not to place the trash cans on the streets and it IS said that to- morrow subcommittees will turn in pe- titions fully signed.
 -fhe matter of the extension of the parcel post so as to include packages weighing as much as loo pounds will also be taken up. Several cities have condemned the proposed extension. The board will take some action on the mat ter and the merchants board of New York city has asked the local organiza- tior to join with them in opposition to it.
 Plans for the membership campaign of the Board of Trade, which Is to be con- cucted jointly with that of the Cham haf of ,af-oa Ar,,-il xxri11 ha discussed Colman biach is chairman of the Board of Trade membership com nittee and 1t Is probable MT. Blach will bring up the matter.
 The Trade in Birmingham Club, will be formally launched. This is one of the blanks in President Ewing's platform upon which he was elected. It is merely that anyone who so desires, or who can be induced, to trade in Birmingham alone. buying every necessity and every lux uly from local dealers, signify such in- tcntion by giving his or her name to the secretary of the Trade in Birmingham club. There are no dues to be paid and the benefits accruing from membership are that the members will be informed us to anything they desire to know con- cerning the city and matters pertaining to it and it's growth.
 The itinerant window merchants will also be a subject of discussion. It has been pointed out that many dealers In small articles, such as fountain pens, rubber goods. leather goods and other articles are coming through Brming- ham, stopping over for few days, rent 1re window space in some downtown shop and selling their wares. They do no advertising, pay no license and leave no money in Birmingham. The only thing fer which they pay ia the rent on the space used in the windows. This goes to the merchant whose window they oc- cupy. They do business under the H. cense of the owner of that window. The Eoard of Trade will take up the matter with view to stopping the practice.

ALABAMA CITIES
 NEED TEAM WORK Birmingham Had to Make Fight for Regional Bank
 Practically Alone

''Of course. we are all disappointed that Birmingham did not get the regional bank but before criticizing anybody be- cause of the failure to get it, We had as we'll stop and look at our situation in the contest for it." said Forney Johnston yesterday.
 'tThe other Alabama cities were not for Birmingham; Montgomery favored Att lanta; Mobile did not favor Birmingham; nor did Memphis want the bank at Bir- mingham; nor did Nashville want 1t here. lanta, and, except the part of Florida represented by Pensacola, Florida fav- ored Atlanta. Birmingham had to make a fight by itself, and until we learn more of the get-together spirit In Birmingham and Alabama, we cannot expect our cities to be favored as against competitors who have strong backing.
 Has it never occurred to you that the President started to practicing law in Att lanta; that his wife is a Georgia woman; that the Secretary of the Treasury was born at Marietta, Ga? I do not suppose that the President took any interest. one way or the other, but you can see the possibilities If he felt any interest in Georgia getting it. I know that the com mittee appointed to go to Washington In the interest of Birmingham did all it could, and that 1t was aided by MT. Un- derwood in every way in his power. The people of Birmingham and the Cham aber of Commerce must learn that we must all work together for Birmingham. and we must not work against the other towns of Alabama, but we must get the other towns in Alabama to be for Bir- mngham. When this happens we can be more effective''

Underwood Settled the Result When He Said: Nothing Falser in History of Man Has Ever
 Been Uttered"
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

The senatorial campaign, in which the rival candidates have been Oscar W. Jn- derwood and R. F. Hobson, the bitterest and most unique in the recent history Of the state, has come to its close.
 On Monday the issues involved, real is sues and fictitious issues, will be subject ed to the memorable test of the ballot The claims of rival factions and bitter factionists have had their inning. The time has come for the delivering of the goods
 The struggle has been bitter, the bit terest in the recent history of the state In appealing to the passions of the peo- pie it has eoualled and surpassed the campaign of 1909, when the people of Alabama defeated proposed prohibition amendment to the constitution. In regard to charges and countercharges, it has re- minded of the campaign of 1892, when the Farmers Alliance won and lost, when Reuben F. Kolb was nominated and counted out, when the state, from the Tennessee to the gulf, was prepared and apparently anxious for the arbitrament of arr

After an epidemic of fire which began 8 few minutes before 12 o'clock Friday night, the firemen were allowed respite about noon yesterday. when there was lull. There were r alarms turned in from 12 o'clock Friday night until yester- day at noon. It taxed the endurance of the firemen to the limit.

Announced Two Years Ago

The campaign closes with the followers of Oscar W. Underwood absolutely confi- dent that the people will rebuke hysteria. that the people will show by their votes that they do not believe the charges which have been preferred against the leader of the party by R. P Hobson, and by their votes that they resent such charges, none of which have been sustained by proof.
 The senatorial comnaign has endured for practically two years In April, 1912, R. F. Hobson was nominated to Congress from the Sixth district In June, he an- nounced himself a candidate for the Sen- ate He immediately pitched his cam paign, and prepared to carry warfare against Senator Joseph F. Johnston, who would have been his opponent. Since pitching his campaign Mir. Hobson has been absent from his post of duty. It has been estimated that within a period of two years Mr. Hobson has been lon the job less than two months. When Senator Johnston died, Henry D. Clayton was appointed his successor. MT. Hobson immediately preferred charges against MT. Clayton. While Mir. Clay ton was still candidate MT. Underwood announced himself candidate. MT. Hob son immediately preferred charges against MT. Underwood.
 The real campaign began when MT. Clayton, on receipt of a letter from the President of the United States, retired. MT. Hobson, in a speech at Wetumpka stepped upon the low plane on which the fight between him and Mr. Underwood has been waged. There he charged that MT. Underwood instead of being a great leader, clean man, a good man, na- tfonal figure in whom the administration and democracy throughout the country l.ad ifs,t,l iaif n the interests a tool of the whisky ring and an altogether unworthy man.
 Shock to, the People
 MT. Hobson. carrying his campaign into every section of the state piling charges on charges, added to the old things new and unsuspected, paralyzed the state. The people were confident that he was in error, that he was charging an op- ponent of heinous offenses hot because they were true. but because that opponent stood between him and the immediate goal of his ambition. At that time there was grave doubt as to what the outcome of the contest would be.
 MT. Underwood came to Alabama dur ing the Christmas holidays. He was so secure in his own honesty that he could not imagine his people desired him to re- flute the Hobson charges. But his leaders insisted and he yielded. At Gadsden. in referring to what Captain Hobson had re- peatedly charged. the democratic leader said:
 Nothing falser in the history of man has ever been uttered"
 The cry rang throughout the state. That sentence turned the tide. From that mo- ment up to the present there has never been doubt but that the democratic leader would be sustained.
 After brief campaign of less than two weeks, MT. Underwood returned to Wash ington. Yesterday he came to Alabama. Mir Hobson has not attempted to discharge his duties at Washington. h. stead, he has spoken from every stump. repeatedly, and has continued his cam paign based on charges against his op- ponent which charges he has not sus- tained.
 It is now the peoples inning.
