 How did E. R. Avery get from Calera to Siluria? We've heard so many yer
 sions of that famous trip! It is alleged that Mutt Marshall and 'sJef" Mabry recently consumed a full barrel of lemonade. It was the variety
 that gets all foamy if you shake 1t mo- ment.
 Frank Bridges broke four axles on his
 automobile recently in one of his cross- country trips, and had to jack his car
 up long enough to make some axles from
 green saplings. After this was done MT. Bridges discovered he didn't have any 1 lubricating oil. He finally secured about a half gallon of new sorghum from a farmer and came to Birmingham with all colors flying at the top of the mast. J. E. Robinson said Saturday night that he had been married 10 years, and
 during all that time had never told a lie He said it seriously, too What show did John Bargaineer in-

WHAT IS THE COI.ORED

w LYMAN 'S GREATESG NEED!'' This question, What is the colored woman's greatest need?' has been asked
 many times. and Is great question of momentary consideration in the south. First. the colored womans greatest need Is better wage. a larger economic
 opportunity. Second, the colored womans greatest ! need Is recognition as human being re- gardless of color or race.
 The colored race as whole is the poor est paid group of workers the country considers The coored worker. man or woman, has to take the work the white man or woman does not want. This keeps the man as rule at the lowest tasks of unskilled labor and puts the woman only in the field of domestic labor as competitor. Statistics show the colored woman % per cent out of 100, employed as cooks. laundresses, wait resses and dressmakers, while the re- maining three in professions are stray
 employees in professional life. such as trained nursing. teachers or employed in ! stores and factories
 A very fine article written by a negro girl says: "rhe great new avenues of
 work, the telephone switch board. the department store. the mill are all closed to the girl of negro blood. One sees the colored girl standing at the threshold of the labor world. without the homecraft that made homework interesting to the woman of century ago. and forbidden to cross and enter into modern industry"
 This young woman continues to say:
 Sometimes, when I think of the places that colored girls may not enter. the cot ton mill, the sweatshop. the basement of the department store-for If they entered the store 1t would surely be in the base mentI question whether they. are to be condoled or congratulated.

ALL KOREANS WERE TRAINED IN BOSTON FOR BANKING WORK New England Connections of Great Bank Have AL
 ways Been Intimate BACON FRIENDSHIP
 OF LONG STANDING Three Generations of This New Eng land Family Have Been Closely
 Associated With the
 Morgans
 
By HOLLAND

New York, September 12.-(Special)-A little over half a century after the late J. P. Morgan founded the banking house which bears his name, his grandson, Jun jus Spencer Morgan, whose name Is the and of New York, who was his great grandfather. began his active association with the Morgan firm. As was the first training of his father to the present J. P. Morgan, so also Junius Spencer Nor gan took what may be called a kindergar- ten or a primary course in banking with a banking firm of Boston.
 Few people realize how closely asso- ciated Boston and Boston bankers have been with the careers of the Morgan fam fly. This is probably to be accounted for in part by the fact that Junius Spencer Morgan father of the late J. P Morgan, was in mercantile business in Boston, a partner of I. M. Beebe & Co., which was the largest dry goods house in New Eng land For this reason the late J. P. Morgan when a lad received his early training as student in the Boston Latin school. Junius Spencer Morgan, in the early fifties. visited London. and while there became associated with the late George Peabody in the banking business.
 The relations of the Peabody banking house with the federal government at the time of the civil war were very inti- mate. After MT. Peabody retired, Junius Spencer Morgan became the head of the house. There, after his son, the late J. P. Morgan, pursued a university course in Germany, he began his career as banker. There and in Germany he learned to master the mysteries of the extremely difficult and delicate science of foreign exchange. It was this knowledge which in no small measure enabled the late J. P. Morgan to begin, early in his banking career, large and important negotiations in international financing
 The late J. P. Morgan appears not to have had any training in Boston, in this respect differing from his father and from his son. the present head of the house and his grandson,-Junius Spencer Nor gan. But the late J. P. Morgan estab-

COTTON MARKET
 WEEKLY REVIEW Heavy Advances Feature Trading-Bullish Senti-
 ment Predominating

New Orleans. September 12.-A wave of bullish sentiment swept the cotton market last week. causing heavy trad levels for the sea son. At the highest the trading months were 5s to 61 points over the previous weeks final figures; the close was at net gain for the week of 45 to 50 points.
 Buying was stimulated by a food of unfavorable crop accounts from the belt and reports of better spot market. Much injury was claimed through the increase of insects.
 Over the belt generally spots were higher and improvement in demand was argument, bears claiming spots were fol- lowing futures and that much of the cotton purchased would be delivered on contracts. Bulls were contending that spinners were entering the market anew that foreign interests were buying and storing in this country and that tho inn provement in foreign exchange and the visit to this country of financial repre- sentatives of foreign governments marked favorable change in the spot situa- ton.
 The political situation was tho one great unfavorable influence although it's effect was, to a great extent, lost be- cause of bullish enthusiasm but on the weekend market circulars called spe- cial attention to it as holding unfavcr able possibilities for this week. Should friction between the Germanic powers and this country increase, bears confi- dently expect the rise to be checked and to be followed by reaction due to liqui- dation of the long account.
 Bulls predicted higher values than have yet been seen because they considered the foreign exchange market is now be- ing put in a way to take on almost nor maj conditions and because of the crop damage in the belt which their corres- pondents report. They believed the re- duction in acreage and the unfavorabie weather of the fall would result in a short crop which will be the dominating influence in the market during the best part of this season.

Institute week Is on--all the teachers are getting ready for the winter work, and the big rush of school has started in real earnest. Birmingham is the pivot for the whole state and the week will prove interesting and profitable to all. One of the great advantages of the insti- ute week is the get-to-gether spirit that all the teachers feel, mutual interest to make the school work count, and the spirit of cooperation that is necessary to make the state work a success
 Many of the avenues of work show the awakened desire on the part of the school heads to assist in the welfare work of the state. An important new endeavor is the physical welfare work that has been introduced and becomes q practical ing this institute week.
 Realizing that each teacher must be physically fit to teach during institute week there have been placed in the school nurses and a doctor that will not only give health lessons for the children, but practical lessons in health for the teach- CT. that they may be able to care for their physical being when the environ  ment Is different from those accustomed.
 Thursday of the week will be devoted to illiteracy day" Superintendent Feagin will probably be the speaker. if not MT. J. B. Hobdy will give a stereoptican lec- ture of the work of the illiteracy commis- sion in Bibb county It Is hoped to make this day the biggest and most interesting of the entire week.
 The general public Is invited. This is the first real step in the illiteracy cam paign in Jefferson county. and although Jefferson Is starting late 1t will begin to move from now on.
 The great keynote of all teaching Is service. No compensation in monetary way can outweigh the real value that the teacher Is to the state. Many lines of social service are being undertaken at the high school during the week. and the seed planted will bear fruit in the fu- ture growth of the state.

The Third Generation

Junius Spencer Morgan, who in the first
 week cf September entered the house of J. P. Morgan X Co.,, took good heed of the example set by his father. He too. be- came Boston trained in the rudiments of banking He served as clerk In the house of Brown Bros. At one time, and perhaps now, this house was regarded in Boston as the leading house in New Eng land so far as international banking Is concerned. Having served his apprentice ship in the admirable school of banking which the Brown Bros house represents
 he was matriculated. He was thereby
 prepared to take up additional responsi- bilities in the house which his grand father, the late J. P. Morgan. founded So 1t will be seen that the traditions of the house have been maintained. Junius Spencer Morgan, Boston merchant of great achievement and afterward Lon don banker: his son, J. P. Morgan, edu- cate1 or prepared for his university course in Boston; the present head of the house, J. P. Morgan. trained in the rudi- ments of banking with Jacob c. Rogers. and now Junius Spencer Morgan, after a preparatory course in the Boston house influence and Boston training before be- ginning their great activity in New York city.
 Some years after Robert Bacon son of the late J. P. Morgan's friend, William B. Bacon. was graduated at Harvard he. too, after Boston training, became partner in the house of J. P. Morgan & Co. When Robert Bacon was gradu- ated at Harvard his father secured for him partnership in the banking house of l.. Rollins Morse, paying $5O00O for that privilege In Boston it has been for a .ong time the opinion that William B. Bacon began to wonder whether the op- portunities for great achievement were ertii ely satisfactory if his son was to remain partner in the house of E. Rol- lins Morse. It is tradition, certainly in Boston. that MT. Bacon intimated in some manner to the late J. P. Morgan that he was fearful lest his sons oppor- tunities would be cramped If he re- mained with the Morse house, although that house had high reputation for in- tegrity and ability. To this intimation MT. Morgan Is reported to have made the laconic reply, Send him over to me" When the young man called upon MT. Morgan in New York the banker looked at him with scrutinixing eyes for moment and then said: Why how you have grown!" and in that way indicated that he took the young man to his heart After some service as junior partner in the
