HEAVY TRAVEL TO
 FLORIDA THIS YEAR
Harry Wilson Says All Hostelries Have Capacity Reservations
 for the Winter

Harry Wilson, assistant city passenger agent of the Seaboard. looks for this win ter to be the biggest year in the tourist line that has been the souths lot for sometime:
 "The rich customers are coming south this winter" he said. "On account of the war in Europe it is impossible for them to go abroad and pitch their money to the birds. hence it is probable that they, or at least a great many of them, will migrate southward. There is no reason why many of them should not stop over in Birmingham for the winter No one can say we haven't a delightful clims te the year round. Of course, California vii, come in for the lions share of the tour ists, but a number of them have gone to California so much during the winter they wart a change. l understand all the Florida hotels have capacity reservations on their books already. All this means money coming to our sunny southland"

"Ah, these women," sighed young con- ductor on a Terminal station car at the corner of First avenue and Twenty-rrrs street yesterday.
 And the occasions for his remark ap- parently did not know he was in the land of the living
 Well, don't you forget to write me- now exclaimed the first fair one, as the other, suit case in hand, prepared to board the car.
 The lady who was leaving the city placed her suit case in the vestibule of the car. The conductor reached for the bell cord. The lady turned to her com panion.
 Well, good-by,'' she said.
 "Good-by," came the response.
 The conductor gave two jerks to the bell as the lady stepped up on the vesti- bule.
 "Oh, wait a minute" she cried sud- denly.
 The conductor viciously grabbed the bell cord again and the car came to stand still. The other lady returned to the car as the gates were thrown open
 You forgot to kiss me-" said the would be traveller.
 The conductor wearily awaited until the osculatory process had been completed to the satisfaction of both ladies' The traveller climbed back into the car. Two weak pulls at the bell cord.
 'Clang. Clang.' came from the motor mans end of the car, as it moved on.

lived up to and exemplified this con ception of public service than Judge Lane In all of his labors on the bench and an official of the city of Bir- mingham. he has never been actua ted by passion or prejudice or by a mean or selfish motive. Devotion to duty and a resolute and unfliching determination to do the right he saw it have con trolled him in his every public and pri- vate act. Judge Lanes bitterest enemy could be confident of fair treatment at his hands as public official. His most intimate friend or his closest relative could not swerve him a hairs breadth from what he believed to be the path of duty. The poor and friendless can re- ceive from him an audience as quickly as the most influential man in the com munity. How big looms up plain. hon est. brave and conscientious man of this sort In comparison with the agita- tors. demagogues and self-seekers who infest our political life.
 "The election of a commissioner of the city of Birmingham is matter that should come close to every man who expects to make in this community a permanent home for himself and his family. The past year has been a hard one on every working man and on every business man in this city. While we should face the future with courage and optimism, our hope for the future should not prevent us from realizing some plain truths. The people of this town have not had smooth sailing in recent years, and the future calls for courage and strength, fairness and spirit of cooperation
 with all of it's natural advantages, Birmingham is not going to become great city without determined and in telligent effort on the part of its own people. We must pull together and we must have conservative, fair and broad men at the head of our city govern ment We must have such men as can deal intelligently with the question of raising sufficient revenue to take care of the debts of the city and provide those facilities which are essential in a modern American municipality.
 There never was a time when Judge Lanes breadth and fairness and cour- age good sense and high character. were more needed than they will be in the next three years of our city admin istration. l should regard his defeat public misfortune"
 Friends of Judge A. O. Lane met last night at East Birmingham in Duffin's hall and were addressed by w. J. Perry and J. P Roach. About 100 men were present and much enthusiasm was man. ifested.

HEAVY SHIPMENTS
 OF WAR MUNITIONS
Enormous Tonnages Being Sent Out of This District Daily, Says
 William KilgOre

William Kilgore, commercial agent for the Central of Georgia. is regarded as one of the best informed freight men in this district and is always watching condi- tions closely. He reports gains in busl- ness for his railroad and says the ton mage in war materials is enormous.
 Thousands of tons of pig iron, billets and barbed wire are being sent out of this district daily said MT. Kilgore 1T am proud to say our road is getting it's share of it. Despite the fact that there are a great many war orders on file with the big corporations already, understand more are coming in daily. until now it will be impossible for the mills to fill all the orders they have at present for sev- eral months to come. That certainly means an unprecedented era of prosperity in this ditrict and every one is ready to take advantage of it''

A LITTLE MAN

One little hoy did not get to go to the State Fair yesterday
 Of course. there may have been many others, many hundreds In the environs of Birmingham. who were so unfortunate as to be deprived of attending children's day al the fair. But that is not the point. as only this particular manly little chap attracted the attention of the ordinary person on street car last night. His sorrow at what he had missed was poig- nant, but he bore it like little man. He was Spartan-but incidentally a shrewd little cuss.
 He was blond little chap. possibly or years of age. In his hands was one of those popular toy balloons. He kept way ing his balloon in all directions and was quite happy, so 1t seemed.

 Mir Barber said he had been told that a prominent Jewish citizen arose in the meeting of the friends of Judge Lane at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday and declared that he did not care to see anything injected into the campaign re- garding the religion Of Barber, or the place of his nativity, or anything of a personal character. That fell upon the meeting like a very wet blanket, 1 am told said MT. Barber This is a fair fight, and it will be out in the open as far as I am concerned.
 We have failed so far to get the other crowd out in the open. We made miserable failure yesterday"
 MT. Barber then launched into an attack on the telephone company. saying it was Courageous that the business men of Birmingham should be compelled to pay s6 a month for a telephone, while the business men of Bessemer, on the same switchboard with the Birmingham con- cerns, were only charged $4 a month." He also said that business men of East Birmingham and of Fairview had to pay N 25 month for telephone.
 "The public utilities bill, taking from the city commission power to regulate the telephone company. the water company and the street railway company. and plac-
 
 railroad commission at Montgomery, was passed because it was circulated at the capitol two weeks before the bill came to a vote that I could not be kept out of the city commissionership of Birmingham at this election" said Mir. Barber. MT. adore Shapiro, that public-spirited cit izen. himself tells me this.''
 The rest of MT. Barbers remarks were devoted to telling the crowd his cam paign methods He said if the male mem bers of a family were not at home he talked to the ladies' if they were Not there he talked to the children, and if no one was home he played with the dog, making friends wherever and whenever he could.
 Statement by Walker Percy
 Another feature of the day was a dec laration in behalf of Judge Lane m-.de by Walker Percy. MT. Percy declared that during the next three years of the citys life Judge Lanes conservatism and intelligence would be essential, and that the defeat of Judge Lane would be re- garded by the business and conservative element of Birmingham in the nature of a calamity. His statement follows:

They paid scant attention to the little blond chap with his toy balloon. But the little chap would not be denied, and he finally managed to engage the little girl in conversation.
