Palmer states that the facilities of the library now are fully adequate to meet all possible de- mands, and Sunday school workers of all denominations throughout Alabama are invited to make free use of this library. Books will be loaned to any Sunday school worker upon request free of charge.

FOWLKES EXPECTED
 TO RETURN TODAY
Has Been to St. Louis After 1915 Convention of Federation of
 American Motorcyclists

Secretary Sam Fowlkes of the Busi- nesss Mems league will be back at his desk today after an absence of four days, during which time he was in St. Louis, working to secure for Bir- mingham the next convention of the Federation of American Motorcyclists. The Motorcyclist's convention began Thursday and closed Saturday Mir Fowlkes accompanied the local delega- : ton for the purpose of bringing the 1915 convention to Birmingham.
 The Federation of Motorcyclists has never met in the south and for this reason Mir Fowlkes thought that this city should have a good chance of win ming out. He carried with him illius- trative matter of Birmingham, a good supply of Birmingham in 1915, wat say" buttons and his usual enthusiasm regarding Birmingham.
 Whether or not MT. Fowlkes secured the convention for next year is not known. as he has not communicated he did everything possible to bring 1t here He used all the arguments pos sible pointing out the beautiful resi- dence sections. the industrial activities of the city. the race track and last, but not by any means the least the hos pitality of the people Of Birmingham.
 MT. Fowlkes showed his mettle and ability as an orator at the recent Sun day school convention held in Mobile when he invited that convention to meet in Birmingham. That he made jl st as good impression in St. Louis is not doubted by his friends here.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans. July 19.-The price of cotton last week made moderate net gains and losses, finally closing at a net loss of to 12 points. Weather and crop accounts were conflicting and caused nervous fluctuations. At times selling was heavy on good crop re- ports from the central and eastern DOT tions of the belt and at others the de- mand was large because of the drouth prevailig in Texas and Oklahoma, which bulls claimed caused much damage.
 The first bale of the Georgia crop. reported Friday, and the adoption of short time by Lancashire spinners were bearish features of importance. Stimu- lating bullish sentiment were private crop report conditions showing a loss of fraction of point since June 25.

Although the local favorites, Lee All len Brooks and Billie Bartlett, did not meet with success in attempting to withstand the onslaught of the Atlanta champions, Birmingham did not come out of the Cotton States tournament bare of honors. The failure of Smith and Mansfield to fall before the attack of the two Birmingham cracks natur- ally caused disappointement, but this was in way offset by the successful manner in which the first registered tournament was conducted.
 The tournament was tried as an ex- pertinent, and there was some doubt as to how it would end. The contest was originally scheduled for Atlanta, but the burning of the Country club house there necessitated some other battle-ground so the local Country club

It is generally conceded that a yellow jackets nest is a bad thing to fool with If one has any doubts about the above assertion a brief conversation with one Jim Wilson, negro, with enough pig ment under his ebony skin to paint hearse, will tend to remove the doubt.
 Jifns experience with yellowjackets came to light at the hearing of dam age suit against the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, in which Jim claimed S5000 damages TOT a broken leg. The wording of the complaint was lit tie vague as to the primary cause of the accident, but when the pleadings were being argued, the part the yellow jackets played in the case came into view.
 It seems that Jim was employed by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company as a chairman with a surveying crew, and ore day when the engineers were surveying a right-oif-way, he was instructed to carry the chain across a clearing that was more or less grown up in weeds. Jim started across the patch warbling a tune that sounded like a cross between the rollic1ing strains of Steamboat Bill" and the dying groans and the negro was seen to drop the chains and run like the very-wen ne would have certainly smashed a record on the cinder paths had anyone timed i.im. He ran awhile and then he Hoped ' and then ran again. He zig-zagged. and then ran straight, but which every way he went he was followed by a thin vel low line of angry insects.
 ~, All at once the fleeing negro disap- peared. He had fallen into deep gully and with his fall the pursuit stopped and the attacking force returned to their fortress to repair the damage caused by the tread of the massive tribly of the negro.
 The reason for the sudden flight of the negro was that while perambulating across the patch he had stepped into a nest of yellowjacllets who immediately called council of war to repel the 1n- yader and they undoubtedly succeeded
 searching party was organized and when Jim was discovered it was found that his leg was broken by the fall He V as taken to the hospital and in due time recovered and immediately entered suit against the company for damages.
