By Maneuvers of Troop X,
Eleventh Cavalry
OTHER DRILLS TO BE
GIVEN DURING WEEK
Commands of Captain Shelley Execut-
ed With Smoothness and Preci-
sion--Mounted Skirmish Drill
Is Very Pretty
by JACK BETHEA

over 2So0 people were at the fair grounds
yesterday afternoon to witness the ex-
hibition drill of Troop X, Eleventh cav
airy regiment, L. S. A.. Capt James
Shelley commanding. The soldiers have
been eneamped at the fair grounds
week, and will remain another week. The
troop marched to Birmingham from Fort
Oglthorpe, Ga, the post of the Eleventh.
in order to stimulate interest among cit
izens in the service and to secure re-
eruits. recruiting bureau has been
opened at the camp at the fair grounds
and number of applicants have been ex-
amined. The recruits accepted will be
taken to Fort oglethorpe when the troop
returns there probably next week.
The day was ideal for drill purposes.
and the drill was ideal, Not since the
brigade enoampment here 10 years ago
have Birmingham citizens had an oppor-
tunity to witness such perfect drills as
were performed by the troopers yester-
day afternoon. Captain Shelley's COM
manes were executed with a precision
and smoothness for which the regulars

strained his ears and his eyes lit up
with pleasurable anticipation. The
kiddies reached the elephant house and
stopped for n chat with Miss Fancy
and ''Mr. Teddy" became morose again
He did not look up until he heard the
little voices. He then jumped TO his
feet and begged for something to eat
for the bear, even though the tempta-
ton to give all to Miss Fancy" is
sometimes hard to resist
The children soon began to arrive
in large numbers and by o'clock the
park at Avondale was filled with
laughing kiddies. Teddy was then too
busy greeting his visitors to note how
many were stopping to chat with Miss
Fancy" and forgot to feel slighted
1t has been suggested that the Cap
tain Richards Jungle shows send the
little cub bear with the show out to
the zoo to make the acquaintance of
Teddy" The baby bear is also named
Teddy" and he is an exact prototype
of the original TEDDY Bear" except
that he is black
Nellie" the little TERROR companion
to Miss Fancy" at the zoo, has six
of the "cutiest" and most playful lit
tie puppies imaginable and she is about
the proudest mother on record. She
jealously guards them from the gaze
of ordinary people, but let's her friends
view them If they do not attempt to
touch them.
Nellie" evidently does not believe
in the fondling of her affspring, and
is taking care of her babies in the
most approved manner. She refuses to
permit even her best friends to touch
the little newcomers and growls threat
eningly when anyone approaches too
closely.

6TARKS IMPRESSED
BY PROGRESS OF CITY
General Manager of Louis
vile and Nashville Visi-
tor in Birmingham

B. NJ Starks, general manager of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, was in
Saturday, looking over the
|ituation here and meeting old friends
hat he made when superintendent of
Ibis division about eight years ago. Mr.
Etarks has been i'll during the summer
but his friends yesterday were pleased
10 see that he was apparently entirely
recovered.
He was taken in charge for a short
lime yesterday by Eugene f. Enslen,
president of the Jefferson County Saw
|ngs bank, and shown over the bank s
lew building that is nearing completion.
Mr.. Starks was very much imposed with
he structure and expressed his amaze
|nent at the growth of this city during
he few years since he was a resident
here.
He was enthusiastic over the Newspaper
flub floors at the, top of the building,
through which he was shown by William
L. Weston, the designing architect, and
Mr.. Enslen. He said that nowhere in
america was there to be found a more
perfectly appointed club.
Il do not know any news, he said II
m here simply looking around. L have
been away from Birmingham for some
ime now. l am pleased to see the prog
Jess that Birmingham continues to make
10 greater things. 1t is amazing to me-
can scarcely understand that all these
buildings have been launched since | was
here as superintendent only few years
kgo. 1t is strange that such monuments
ian be built so quickly and for so
|asting a time. l have always had faith
IN Birmingham. 1t seems that I am right
IN the assumption that no city in this
country will excel her in the next few
Years.
Il want to compliment the newspaper
boys on this club they are about to for
|nally open here. l have always been
friend to the reporters on the firing
|ine. They know me and l know them
am not surprised that they have in
kugurated a club of this kind. They
Fould turn this town over if they started
but to do it. 1 am very proud of this
york. Some of these boys have been
With me through trial tnd travail and
feel akin to them. l hope as l know
L will be that every possible success
|vill be attained with this organization.
Il have nothing to say apour promo
lions, double-track work or rail orders
pther officials look after those matters
am simply glad to be here again and
Flad to see Birmingham going forward
10 better and lasting things"

4 GOOD MOVE

We Wish to commend the farmers
OF Anderson county who have called
Il mass meeting at the court house
Monday To discuss the matter of fl
nancing the crop. This meeting here
Is preliminary to sending delegate es
to the convention In Washington.
There will be quite Il large party
from Anderson. for the Pullman that
was to be operated out of here has
already had every berth taken, we are
informed
The meeting of the farmers was
suggested through this paper several
days ago, and we wish to add that II
has the approval Of the Chamber Of
Commerce, as JAS. ID. IIammett. chair
man. SO expressed himself to this pa
per before leaving the city for few
days rest in the mountains.
The meeting in Washington is
fraught with much Importance. and
we believe ii will result in much good.
We have never feared the ultimate
outcome of this proposition. for as we
pointed out some days ago the in
crease in trade between this country
and the South American republics is
sure to be 80 marked as to overcome
any temporary set back. The only
thing which confronts us now Is to
hold the situation together until the
nrpsant foalin0 Of f;midIty and nor
vousness wears Off.

A GOOD BEGINNING

The county campaign opened pleas
antly at Honea Path yesterday. The
number OF candidates Offering for po-
sition makes the matter OF public
speaking almost unwieldly The can
didates for the legislature and for the
state senate have too little time in
which to state their views on ques-
tions Of the day.
The campaign itinerary was origi-
nally devised some 20 years ago.
as q Campaign Of education" in order
to advise the people ns to the condit-
lon of affairs In the government and
also to discuss progressive and re-
form measures. But with SO many
to present their personal appeals 1t is
indeed difficult matter to get broad
Views before the public.
True. there are some who are con-
tent not to know any more than for
whom candidate Stands" with ref
erence to the so-called higher offices.
This disposition does not appear to
be general and we believe that the
people of the county as a whole are
going to inquire for efficiency and
capability as well as for political
standing
We believe in give and take. We
believe that there are good men in
all walks Of life. in all political align
ments. and We are not prepared to ac-
cept any poor candidate or to reject
any good man because of some issue"
which may appear relevant for the
moment. but in later years may prove
to have been an error
We, have great county. We all
love love It's history: love its position
in agriculture and in commerce and
In education nd church affairs. Let
every man in selecting candidates for
all offices try to get the meA who will
discharge all duties faithfully. as we'll
as wisely. and give to the men who
are elected our cordial support IN the
discharge of their duties. We hope
and believe that the campsign will
continue as pleasant as 1t has cam
|menced.
