 Other prominent prohibitonists attend ing the committee meeting, reputed to be very close to Captain Hobson, stated that there was little probability of his entering the race for the United States Senate in the contest of 1918. Their req sons for holding this view was not made plain, but certain men, powerful in the inner circles of the prohibitionists, were willing to stake their judgment on this assertion. All the friends of Hobson, how ever, stated that he had not made known his views to them and it was announced that he would not come to Alabama in all probability for sometime.

Justice Charles E. Hughes of the Uni ted States supreme court will probably be the nominee of the republican party for President next year said Senator John H. Banlhead, who was in Birming- ham last night to attend the meeting of the state committee. There is no doubt that Justice Hughes, like any other man, will accept the nomination. Although he has declared that he is not candidate, he allows his name to be placed on the tickets in the primaries and his selection now seems assured Roosevelt will prob- ably support Hughes, and this will tend to make more certain his nomination by the republicans. While there seems to be no reason for thinking that Roosevelt will be candidate for the nomination, he is sufficient factor to make the re- prblicans name some man that he will line up behind

Since assuming his office of city com missioner. Arlie Barber has received quite number of letters from persons in all walks of life asking assistance along various lines, especially in the matter of securing employment. MT.

Among the letters he received yesterday was the one below, which he gave out for publication withholding the writer's name. He states if any one finds employment for the writer. the commissioner will notify him at once.
 The letter follows:

 Julius Jaffe: T think if 1t was nec- essary to have bond issue to raise enough money to build the proposed Warrior highway. the citizens of Bir- mingham would get together and vote for the bonds. We do not need money to build the road at present, but If we did the sentiment of the people is so strong for it that it would undoubt- edly go through.
 Every person in this district Is in favor of the project. I have been n resident of this city for many years and have seen Birmingham grow from a hamlet to a city. Heretofore we have not anticipated the wonderful pro- gress of our city. We should com mence to realize that Birmingham is still growing and at just as rapid a rate as ever Build highways that will be broad enough. strong enough. and good enough for the citizens of this community to use 50 years from now. If we do this we will leave a heritage to our children that will be a work for the good of many generations to come. If the big cities in the other sections of the country can build won-

NEWSbOYS ATTEND ANNUAL DINNERS AS
 GUESTS OF PAPERS
Appetizing Menu Served at Permanent Exhibit Build ing-Emanuel Stein Is
 Postmaster

The newsboys of Birmingham yester- day were the guests of the daily news papers at luncheon served in the Manu- lecturers Permanent Exhibit building on First avenue, next to the Chamber of "newsies'' being present to do justice to the food. And they did their full share, too.
 The young fellows all of whom are cit izens of the Newsboys' Republic met at Capitol park at II: 30 o'clock, formed in double file and marched in a most or derly manner to the exhibit hall, where the dinner was awaiting them. Mrs. J.. B. Reid of The Age-Herald staff was in general charge of the dinner. and had corps of assistants, who prepared for the boys most tempting meal. The young fellows appreciated it, too, as was evidenced in the addresses by the boys, which expressed to the ladies their thanks for the eats
 Emanuel Stein, president of the News boys Republic. presided as toastmaster, and after the circulation managers of the Birmingham dailies had greeted the boys. he introduced the speakers of the day. H. Ehlbert, ex-president of the republic, ex- plained to the visitors the newsboys' honor system which is divided into three classes-sellers, newsboys and ex- pert newsboys. In order to attain any one of these classes it is necessary for a boy to undergo an examination.
 Broderick Lahon, chief deputy of the Newsboys Republic, made 8 few an nouncements, and gave the names of the several basketball teams of the repub-
 lie, as follows: Pussy Foot, Dog Foot, Nigger Foot and Pig Foot. Deputy Lahon maintained perfect order throughout the dinner, but, as a matter of fact, his pres ence was not necessary so far as the keeping of order was concerned, for they all are gentlemen of the first water. La hons presence, however, was greatly needed. for he appreciates good eats as much as do any of the boys.
 Dr. Henry M. Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian church of Bir- mingham, was among those present and at the invitation of Postmaster Stein he obliged the boys with short talk, fin ishing the programme.
 The citizens of the republic voted their appreciation of the kindness of the ladies who prepared the dinner, and of the three Birmingham dailies with 15 cheers and a tiger.
 J. H. Edmondson, manager of the Man. ufacturers' permanent exhibit, said: q did not dream it could be so interesting and orderly. I right here extend to the Newsboys' Republic the same privilege next year. In fact. the newsboys must have all their Christmas dinners given them by the daily papers here"

AN EXTRA go
Birmingham Trust and Saw .ings Company Increases
 It's Dividend
It Looks Like the Long> Period of De-
 pression Is Over In Fact

On December 3i. which is today. the
 Birmingham Trust and Savings company will distribute to it's stockholders an ex-
 tra dividend of ? per cent. That is, it will add per cent to its reg ular semi-annual dividend of per cent
 making a total for this years distripu-
 tion of 12 per cent.
 The addition of $l0,000 to the amount us- ually sent out to the stockholders or so large an institution, is not. taken by itselts a very noteworthy incident In the man
 cial history of the community. But as a part of the history of an institution whose whole record Is noteworthy con tribution to the Birmingham district. tniS extra dividend distribution may be looked on as one of the most interesting and im- portant events, marking the close Of the long period of depression. For every one in this community at all conversant With it's banking history knows that the Bir- mingham Trust and Savings company mas from the beginning taken care of its de- postors first and it's stockholders second. So that every one knows that If any pos sible interest of the depositor called for the addition of this ? per cent to the surplus rather than the dividend, 1t would stay among the earnings The public will accept it. therefore. as real evidence that the better business day is here for everybody It is well to recall now and then the record of this great and conservative bank, which has from its beginning set a shining example for all who have dealt with it in the duty of care and prudence when one comes to handling other peo- ple's money. It is a remarkable fact that this bank has never missed paying a dtvi- dend in it's life Even in the panic times of 1893 it made its sem-annual distribu- tions. But it kept within the mark, it's dividends were small and they were paid only after something was laid by for the protection of the depositors in the shape of a surplus.
 That policy, steadily followed for over quarter of century, has brought its re- ward. The surplus is now $650000. which is s150,OO0 more than the capital stock. and all this great accumulation is there as permanent guarantee of the depositor. It all spells strength solidity, secure and safe future.
 After all, the noteworthy feature of the statements of the Birmingham Trust and Savings company Is not in the mere f1g- ures:
 Capital $500,O00 Surplus. $65O.000 But in the word earned" which doc0- rates and ornaments the word surplus, much as virtue is the crown of woman- hood and honesty the noblest attribute of man.
 During all these years the stockholders have been content with little that the de- postors might have much. Now all the people of Birmingham are glad to see the dividend increased. and to congratulate the stockholders on the gradually increas- | Ing reward that comes from policy that has made the Birmingham Trust and Saw ings company tower of strength In the
 community.
