Owing to the fact that the press
broke down after the car bundles
had been run OF yesterday after
noon, the city edition OF The West
virginian was late getting on the
street. It was the first serious
breakdown that has happened
since the new press was put in,
and It took over an hour to make
the repairs. Such accidents sell
dom happen and are entirely me-
chanical in nature. The West
Virginian Is confident that no
more trouble will be experienced
with the press in the near future,
and the paper should reach its

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
 FOR THE REUNION
Birmingham Has Good Chance to Get 1916 Meet
 ing of COnfederates

Prospects are very bright. it is said that Birmingham will in 1916 entertain the annual convention of the United Confed- | crate Veterans.
 President Crawford Johnson of the Chamber of Commerce is very actively engaged in working for the 1916 conven- ton and a large party from Birmingham will go to the convention at Richmond this year to work in behalf of Birming- ham. A conference was held yesterday between President Johnson and Capt John G. Smith of Camp Wilcox, U. c. ", and Captain Smith produced many letters he had received from various camps through out the south pIedging their support to Birmingham for the 1916 convention. Presi- dent Johnson himself has written to every camp urging Birmingham for 1916 and has received many replies which have given him much encouragement.
 A tag day Is to be held next Saturday at which tags will be sold for the purpose of raising funds to take the veterans who otherwise could not go to the Richmond convention and also the Boys Industrial school band. providing enough funds are raised.
 Representatives of all local civil organi- zations. as well as one of the city com. missioners and several prominent citi- zens will accompany the local veteran camps to Richmond to work in behalf of Birmingham for the next convention. President Johnson has received letters from the officials of the veterans which have also given the local boosters much encouragement.
