Dr. Brown Believes This Years Programme Is Far the Most Att tractive Ever Offered
 in Birmingham

But for the necessity of Senator Under
 woods representing his state at the OK
 position in San Francisco. Birmingham
 would fin all probability have been the
 scene of the healing of an old wound
 which for several years has prevented
 the warm friendship of the Alabam,an
 and William J. Bryan of Nebraska.
 Yesterday noon the Nebra slSan entered
 into a contract to address the people of
 Birmingham next Wednesday night under
 the auspices of the lyceum bureau. Sem
 ator Underwood was invited to present
 the visitor. The senator declared that
 he would be glad to do so and would do so
 but for the fact that he had accepted the
 appointment of Governor Henderson to
 represent this state at the exposition. He
 will leave for California October 1.
 Had Senator Underwood and Br. Bryan
 come together, it Is regarded as probable
 that old wounds would have been healed.
 Some years ago. as is remembered, Mir.
 Bryan published an article in his paper
