 From your little 22-room hotel, back wonder, when you were just turning 1T until now, when you are manager of one of the most magnificent hotels in the country, I suppose there have been many varied experiences" I suggested.
 ''Yes. I have travelled far and wide, and I want to say right here that I owe gretN deal of my success to the infiu- ence and example of MT. David B. Plum mer of the Hotel Green, Pasadena, Cal, and to Hiram Kicker & Sons of the Po- land Springs company, where I was chief clerk at the Mansion House under their management. These men stand for the highest and the best in hotel circles, and I pay my compliments to them at all times.''

I asked
 Absolutely the most f1attering of any | city in the south, said MT. Traylor. | Not only on account of Birmingham s tremendous growth, but the class of peo- pie wEo appreciate good service, beau- | tiful appointments, and the very best that can be offered. I am more than op-

CARVER CONTINUES
 LECTURES AT PELHAM
Commences Eighth Day of Lectures on Coming and Life of
 Christ

Pelham Heights June 15-Early Mon- day morning the Alabama preachers la dies of the Women's Missionary society, college boys and visitors up here on the mountain were ready to commence the second week of the work for them to do in connection with the three weeks ses- sion of the Baptist encampment.
 Dr. Sampey, Dr. Carver and Dr. Hen dricks were all back from their Sunday sermon engagements in Birmingham and
 Montgomery, and participated in the early
 service They were fresh and rested
 after the arduous lecture delivery work
 during the past week here on the moun-
 tain top, and each of the teachers was
 welcomed back by the preacher students
 in a cordial, glad-to-see-you manner. Work-real work-reading hard passages
 and then minutely explaining the mean ing as the lecturer understood to be the proper interpretation WAS commenced by Dr. Sampey to the class promptly at g o'clock The doctors lectures are prin- cipally on the Old Testament, dealing
 with the modes and procedure of worship when real Christianity was struggling for recognition.
 pr. Hendricks lectures during his hour on Church History and in his ad- dresses, while he frequently refers to the Old Testament, confines himself to explaining the many difficulties and ob-
 stacles that confronted those who labored to establishe a religion for the better ment of mankind and prepare all be- lievers for safe entrance to the heaven so earnestly prayed and longed for. Dr. Hendricks leaves nothing unex- 1 plained He invites, as does the other l professors, suggestions from the students | and when requested for more light on any particular point, proceeds to explain, all ways quoting freely trom the scripture | to establish the truths he is endeavoring | to make clear.
 l The preachers are certainly being made familiar with some matters that in the past has to certain extent caused them hours of study.
 | pr. Carver's addresses are on ''The Coming and Life of Christ" This is the | commencement of the eighth day of these lectures, and, as Dr. Carver, both morning and afternoon, 45 minutes each time, has just arrived at the stage in
 Jesus early life. there remains yet a large lot of Biblical knowledge as to the Savior's time on earth to be told to the | students. Among the arrivals registered yester-
 day were Miss Mary Blunt Keith, Selma 1 Lois Scandnett Georgia; Miss Matte Avant, Tallassee; Ci R. Goodwin, OK moor; Miss Margaret Poland, Oxford 1 Miss Edith Acton, Oxmoor: F. J. Black.

JOHN M. CROOK ILL
 WITH TYPHOID FEVER
Democratic Nominee for Probate Judge of Calhoun Critically III
 in Anniston Hospital

Anniston, June 15.-(Special) )-John M. Crook, democratic nominee for probate judge of Calhoun county, is critically ill at St. Luke's hospital in this city with typhoid fever, having been removed from his home Sunday after an illness of two or three days, and as a result of this case, the people of Calhoun are becom- ing supersttious about the probate's of- flee.
 John Crook is a son of former Probate Judge E. F. Crook, who retired several years ago on account of poor health. Judge J. J. Arnold was appoinsed by the governor to succeed Judge Crook, but he was defeated by w. H. Cooper, who had held the position only a few months be- fore he was taken to the hospital. He died in Birmingham last year, and Judge Arnold was appointed a second time to the position.
 Judge Arnold was also soon removed from office by a fatal illness. MT. Crook has acted as chief clerk in the office for sometime and when the governor ap- pointed pr. J. F. Rowan of Jacksonville to the position he announced against his

KELLER BELIEVES
 COUNTIES SHOULD
 GET ALL ROAD TAX
Declares Recent Decision of Supreme Court a Great Blow to Road
 Building

Montgomery. June 15.-(Special.) )-The decision of the supreme court recently rendered, which gives cities the right to participate in the use of taxes collected in cities for special road and bridge fund. is the greatest blow that road build ing and road maintainance has ever re- ceived in Alabama in the opinion of W. s. Keller. state highway engineer who declared that unless the next legislature corrects the statute so as to permit the county to derive the full benefit from the tax that road building In tho future will be seriously hampered.
 Tn Montgomery county the result of the failure of the county to derive the full benefit of the taxes derived will be that the fine roads in this county will be practically gone in five years" sa,d MT. Keller.
 legislature for the passage of a law that will enable a county to use all of the road and bridge tax for the county roads Is certain. according to MT. Keller.
 Not only will the present work de- teriorate but the work of building good roads in the future will be seriously hampered," said MT. Keller. Through the decision of the supreme court many of the counties of the state will be re- quired to turn over huge sums to the cities. Cities benefit more from good roads than do the counties and per sons who dwell in cities use the roads almost as often as do the people who reside in the country This money de- rived from this special tax should by all means be given to the counties and the next legislature should amend the law so as to permit the counties to use the full money"
 Maj. V. B. Atkins of Selma. member of the state highway commission, de- clared that he believed that the county | should be permitted to use all of tho money derived from such q tax. Good roads help to build cities al- most as much as any other one agency and I believe that every possible aid to the construction of good roads should be given by the cities" said Major At kins.
 T. B. Edwards, county engineer. de- clared Montgomery county Is already suffering because of the fact that this | money must be refuded to the city. He declares that the next legislature should !, by all means take up the question and pass a law enabling the county to ben- eft properly from the tax.

 Still another coincidence in the series of misfortunes was the illness of Capt. w. l.. McCaa who was taken sick with typhoid shortly after he had been ap- pointed to the position, which he declined after an investigation.
 Mir. Crook was to take office after the next general election. He defeated two opponents in his race, and is very popular with the people. Considerable uneasiness is being manifested, however on the part of his friends.

THRIVE ON WARFARE"
''The Federal League has proven it
can thrive on warfare. We are per-
fectly satisfied with the year about
to end. We have played out the
schedule. despite Ban JOhnson's pre-
dictiOns that the league would blow
up July 1, Aug. or Sept. 1. The Fed
eraI League will continue to grow
and give the public the best baseball
Obtainable in 1915"
President James A. Gilmore of the
Federal League made this comment
today in reviewing the season about
to close. Gilmore declared the re-
ceipts of the Fed parks this year have
shown that there is room for a third
big league.
Furthermore, continued Gilmore,
''the Federal League is not asking for
peace, will not ask for it, and the
chances are would not accept any
proposition coming from Ban John
son. Every time one of his agents
spring story about peace, Ban bub-
bles all overland says nothing. But
if he knew how many of his stars
he will lose to the Federal League
when the season of 1915 opens he
would probably deliver himself of
