Thinks Well of City

A visitor from North Carolina who was agreeably surprised at the metropolitan proportions of Birmingham was Capt. Clarence w. Murphrey of the Sons of Vet erans of Salisbury. N. c. MT. Murphrey is at the Tutwiler.
 ''Of course I had heard a great deal of Birmingham said MT. Murphrey, "but my opinion formed in advance simply con- templated an average southern city How ever, judge my surprise at viewing such a city, with it's imposing slzyscrapers, pa- latial residences and the alertness of the citizens in the business districts. It all impressed me very much to the effect that I think that Birmingham is the metropolis of the south.
 "As to the hospitality of Birmingham words fail me. From the time we are met at the depots by members of the Boy Scouts-who are simply wonderful it is a continuous round of being hail fellow well met by everyone. It seems to me that all the citizens and ladies of Birmingham have constituted themselves a great big committee to be hospitable to the visitors. They are certainly making success of the reunion
