ENORMOUS VALUE
 OF UNIVERSITY TO

 proved so conclusively that even from a standpoint of dollars and cents a college of 1000 students would be more valuable, that the correspondent wondered why for so many years Birmingham has been pull ing strenuously fdr new operating com panies and neglecting flagrantly this higher and more beneficient branch of business.
 A company, according to the illustration of this citizen of Nashville, would pay it's 1000 laborers sum of money equivalent to the sum which 1000 students in the course of a year would spend. The money of the laborer is exchanged for bread and meat and shoes and clothing, staple articles on which a small profit is netted. The money of the student goes for those things which in the main are luxuries, articles on which large profits are obtained. It is the profit which remains fixed in the community in which the trading occurs. Therefore, of the laborer's money per cent becomes the capital of the citizens of the com munity; of the money of the student 20 per cent.
 With $500000 as a bass-and this is the amount which Nashville estimates 1000 Vanderbilt students spend in year-from the laborers of the company. Birming- ham, for example. would acquire a profit of $25,o00; from the students. Sl00O00

NASHVILLE Y HAS SCHOOLS
 THE REASON-THEY PAY

This argument, of course, is one of dollars and cents-a subtle and appealing argument, though not the most power full Other benefits which have accrued to Nashville from the early determination of it's citizens to build schools-for it should be known right now that Nash vile schools did not spring up of their own volition-will be discussed in sub sequent articles.
 There is no finer illustration of the rec ognized value of an institution of learning to metropolitan center than the fact that Nashville has practically 100. If in the beginning. had a university proved a dead weight, Nashville would have to- day only that one. On the contrary, 1t has, stated nearly 100 institutions em- ploying 1000 teachers, many of interna- tiona1 pre-emnence. There are 45 OO0 students in Nashville, 12,000 of whom have residence in other cities, states and coun- tries The greatest institution Is Wander bile with HOO students One of the great est Is George Peabody's College for Teachers, with which the University of Nashville has recently been united The citys colleges for young women num- Der six-Ward, Belmont Buford, Bos- oobel, Radnor, St. Cecilia and St. Ber- nard's. Nashville is the seat of the state s industrial school, state school for the blind, of religious, biblical, music, busi- ness, preparatory and Kindergarten schools. The city has three universities for negroes-Ffsk, Roger Williams and Walden-the latter having a medical col lege, Meharry, of widely recognized merit Fisk university is the home of the fam ous Jubilee singers, who some years ago. completed a tour of southern lullaby singing on which the sum of s15O,0Oo was netted.
 There is no school or college or univer- sity of whatever nature or proportion that Nashville does not go after, save when in the beginning it knows, on account of peculiar circumstances, 1t has no chance for success. The new university of the Methodists is point in instance.

Washington, June 26.-tSpecial. )-'.The republican party will capture the next House of Representatives; the November elections will return 222 republican mem bers to the House, and will. also reverse the political complexion of the Senate
 This epitomizes a three-column state ment made by Chairman Charles D. Hilles of the republican national com mittee, made after a careful survey of the political field, by the said MT. Hilles. and given with that finality of emphasis which characterizes the utterances of the for mer able secretary to President Taft, which permits no argument.
 It may be said, however that although the statement issued by MT. Hilles is now week old, 1t would have been In vain, if one had waited for the political excite ment naturally expected to follow such a prediction at the national capitol. Ap- parently the democrats waited for the political excitement naturally expected to follow such prediction at the national capitol. Apparently the democrats are re- signed to their fate and the republicans have accepted their forecast victory as matter of course. Or 1t may be that the republicans refuse to be comforted by MT. Hilles prophecy, and the demo- crats likewise refuse to be terrified by 1t. because perhaps some one of an in- vestigating turn of mind may have dug back into history, and produced the records as to MT. Hilles ability as a prophet. If this was done they found that the Saturday before the election in 1912 Mir IIilles satisfactorily demonstrated to the satisfaction of the most exacting how William Howard Taft would poll a majority of the electoral vote of the coun- try. History--a cruel thing to dig up at times-then also records that thereafter MT Taft boiled eight of them.
 It may be that the failure made by MT Hilles in 1912, to make good. had something to do with the languid and in- different manner his forecast of the 1914 congressional eletions were received by those mostly concerned At any rate members of the House absolutely refused to get excited about it.
 In spite of the predictions of Mir. Hilles and others the democratic leaders of the House express great confidence that their

 victs-Take School Census

Anniston, June 26.-Shot at Thursday afternoon and having bullets to pierce his scabbard and coat. Officer Bill Pruitt of the Anniston police force says today that the member of the T won't work society are not only a public nuisance, but a menace to public safety. He went to flush a covey of hoboes near the Louisville and Nashville roundhouse, when one of them struck him Tn the face with his coat and ran. The officer gave chase and fired over the heads of the culprits to stop them. A negro in the crowd returned the fire with the stated result. None of the gang was captured.
 As a sequel to an agitation that has been going on in the local papers for sometime. the city council Thursday evening made an appropriation for the employment of a meat and milk inspector and the purchase of bacteriological equip ment for the necessary examinations. They also set Thursday of next week as the date on which to hear objections to proposed extensions of the citys sewer age
 The Eastern Star meeting which has been in session here came to an end Thursday evening. It was attended by nearly all of the state officers and visi- tors from all parts of the Anniston dis trict. Mrs. Belle R. Ash conducted a school of instruction.
 What to do with negro wonien prisoners has long been question with the city officials. Mayor J. l.. Wikle suggested Thursday evening to the city council that they be leased. as well as all male con- victs that are not needed . in working the city streets.
 At the suggestion of Chairman Tyler of the school board, the city council Thurs day evening provided for school census and the pay of enumerators. For the first 4500 the pay will be 3 cents per capita. and 3 cents for all above that number.

CINCINNATI WAS
 CASTING FOR BREATH
Mason Says It Was Much Hotter There Than in Birmingham.
 Pleased With Newspaper Club

Speaking of hot weather, x. B. Mason, a we'll known citizen of Marion, has the following to say in regard to a visit to Cincinnati Wednesday and Thursday of this week:
 Two men died in one hotel there from the heat. Several died in different parts of the city. The people were dropping on the streets as If stricken by plague. The whole town seemed to be gasping for breath. 1 have never experienced such raging temperature as in cincin- nati this week. Birmingham is cool be- side it. As for the Newspaper club. thsr place is mountain resort compared te any point could reach in Cincinnati this week or in Birmingham yesterday
 MT. Mason is here for day or two, the guest of his cousin Walter B. Fowlkes. He was guest of MT. Fowlkes at the Newspaper club yesterday, and with that place he was very much plea sed
 T have heard about this Newspaper club all over south Alabama. said Mr. Mason Tt Is really state institutions. Quite few of our representative men of Marion members, while in all parts of the state l come across members of this club. shall be compelled to make application to get in with the represen- tatives of business and professional life of this state.
 Birmingham has made some progress , lately of which all Alabama is proud. You make the money here and send it down to south Alabama for us to spend. With this arrangement we are eminently satisfied. In our town of 1500 souls there are over 70 automobiles. We average three new cars per week The people down there are comfortable when 1t comes to automobiles Marion is forging ahead The land values are increa sing and everything is brightenng consider able. l hope that this is true of the entire country. for we need a great crop this Wear to null LIS nIt of the nnire q.

chants will get increased efficiency, and the patrons will get more intel Egent service, they will get the ser vices of employees that arc imbued with the idea that the employer and the patron have enlisted together to make the task of the employees even more cheerful than at any time in Bir- mingham.
 Tt seems to me that this innovation would serve many good ends. It will create spirit of cooperation among all three classes involved. It will draw the employe and the employers closer together and they will get returns in every way. In this weather and with our surroundings 1t is imperative that we do everything we can to keep our employees in good, cheerful condition.
 The closing season will start next Thursday as is the custom in Br- mingham. It will continue throughout the month of August.

There is nothing in the building line We cannot furnish
 "There there are homes to be bought for the members of the faculty and these homes have to be furnished with
 furniture and provisions There is board to be provided for the students. All this means vast amounts of money
 to be expended in the confines of Bir- min gham.
 When the people of Birmingham awake fully to the opportunity that is
 staring them in the face-this great financial, moral and educational op-
 Iortunity in the shape of the univer- sity-there is no doubt in my mind but
 that they will rise up with one accord,
 reach forth, grasp the opportunity In
 no uncertain manner and land the uni
 versity for Birmingham"
 In the lobby of the Hotel Tutwiler yesterday gentleman prominent in business circles in Atlanta was con versing with d Birmingham friend about the university proposition. He positively refused to be quoted, say ing that he would be "mobbed" when he returned home. but he gave it as his mot for publication" opinion that Birmingham had a much better chance than did Atlanta to get the university loca ted here.
 "There is hardly any doubt but that , We can raise a large fund in Atlanta said he, but we have not the ideal
 site for great university such as Bir- mingham has in Birmingham college. Then. you people over here have got good start in the race and your cam paign now being practically under way will make heavy handicap for us to overcome.
 Personally I am in favor of Bir-
 mingham, notwithstanding the fact l am Atlantan and loyal to my home city. I believe this is the most cen- trally located place and that il has 1 the best site for the university. and I | hope Birmingham wins. I'm for you. unofficially. of course"
