LETTERS TO EDITOR
Urges Conner as Business Man

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As a business man. I am for Governor Conner, because he is business man him. self, having large property interests at stake, and under no circumstances would he jeopardze his interests and those of the people he represents.
 I have read every declaration which Governor Conner has made as to his poli- cies in the event of his election, and they are all sound from business standpoint.
 His assertion that he will abolish the back tax commission should secure him the support of all property owners, large and small. The commission may have served it's purpose in the past but 1t Is now obsolete in everything except it's oppressive features. Governor Conner, I believe will give us a system of taxation, which will be fair to all property own CTS and yield revenue large enough for the legitimate expenditures of the state.
 This talk of Conner being unfriendly to business is nothing but political bun combe. The business interests of Alabama have nothing to fear with Conner as gov ernor On the contrary, they can eX- pect an administration which will insure permanent peace and prosperity. Very truly yours, w. H. KETTlG.

 Even the war situation" one of them added, has failed to arouse the city from its pleasant dreaming"
 The visitors were guests at the Bir- mingham Newspaper club last even ing and expressed delight with the at tractiveness of the club and it's gen eral tone and atmosphere.
 "In this club" they said, "Birming- ham has something typical of proper spirit and expressive of civic pride that no other city in the south-or the north, or anywhere else, perhaps-can boast"

DR. JENKINS SPEAKS ID THE ODD FELLOWS Ninety-Fifth Anniversary of Founding of Order
 Observed

Taking the middle link of the emblem of Odd Fellows, Love as his theme, Dr. George l.. Jenkins preached the an- niversary sermon of the Independent Or der of Odd Fellows at the First Metho- dist church last night. The occasion was the celebration of the nfnety-fifth anni- versary of the founding of the order and by Grand Master Fred j. Cramton of Montgomery. all the Odd Fellow lodges of the district joined for the proper ob- servance of the day
 Dr. Jenkins. who is a past grand mas ter of the order, was selected to preach the sermon and the congregation of the First Methodist church invited the lodges to hold their anniversary in their church.
 The lodges met last night at Frat hall and marched in a body to the church represented and included quite a num- Der of the members or the Rebekah branch of the order They filled the middle section of the spacious church
 Dr. J. w. Johnson conducted the usual service up to the sermon and read as the Bible lesson the story of the Good Samaritan. which was regarded as sin guiarly appropriate ta the sermon preached by Dr. Jenkins, which was re- plete with forceful thought Dr. Jen- kins spoke of Love as taught by the Master, which. he said, was to Love God with all thy heart and thy neighbor as thyself.' This he said was also the teaching of Odd Fellowship and by the exercise of this virtue could be brought about the true brotherhood of man."

Confederate Veteran for Conner

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l learn from the newspapers and talk on the highways that some of our Confed- crate veterans disposed to withhold their support from the Hon. B. B. Conner in the coming primary for the reason, as they say, Conner withheld money due them from appropriation made by the leg islature of our state. The same trouble has occurred in Governor O'Neafs ad- ministration and the failure of money in the treasury of the state was not due to them or any act of theirs, but to the insufficiency of the amount of money raised by taxation and also to the in- crease of the number of pensions.
 Governor Conner, if l am not mistaken, in his message to the general assembly, empha sized the justice of making large appropriations to the Confederate vet erans who have survived the half cen tury since the surrender at AppomattoX, and who have also met the vicssitudes of life with the same courage with which they met the enemy on the battlefield. No man but one that has appeared on earth has been found to be infallible, but l think that Mr. Conner is strong man. and though he may have his faults, l believe him to be a suitable and we'll equipped man for the high and responsible position to which he aspires, and it will be a pleasure for me to give him my vote J. LAWLER DARBY.
