Recruiting officers were here from

LIMESTONE QUARRY
 TO BE OPERATED
Sloss Plant at North Birmingham to
 Be Equipped With Modern Appliances

The Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany is rehabilitating the limestone quarry at North Birmingham. It has been idle since June, 1911, but the quarry, which has been virtual lake for sev- eral months, is now drained of the water. It will be equipped with abso- lutely new equipment and placed in op- eration soon at cost of $25, 600. The most modern equipment will, be used. The drills will be furnished with the power by an electrical air compressor. New tracks will be built for the cars that will haul the stone from the quarry The tipple, crusher and other auxiliaries
 are to be absolutely new.
 When the quarry is in operation it will afford a daily output of 600 tons ana will give employment to nearly 100 men. It is regarded more as dolomite quarry than a limestone inasmuch as the rock has both lime and magnesia in it.
 The quarry was pumped almost dry last night after 21 days of constant work The pumps had capacity of 5000 gall lens a minute.
 "The rock from the quarry will be said yesterday. "The company has formerly purchased it's limestone, but the rock from the North Birmingham quarry is best suited for our uses. There fore rehabilitation of it was decided upon as the logical move. The quarry will be modern in every respect

 Bankhead Should Have
 Been Antagonized
RACES PROVED IT
Fly LEON c. BRADLEY

Alabama prohibition leaders breatheo a sigh of relief yesterday.
 Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson has dence. but this time it was not by the postage stamp route to Alabama. That the change is bona fide is vouched for by the fact that the dispatch states that he has actually leased residence. In the case of his so recent removal to Jasper and the Tenth district, the cap- tain overlooked this matter of detail.
 According to the information given to the readers of The Age-Herald yester- day morning in an Associated Press dis patch, the captain will immediately take up his residence at Evanston, H. He will even remove his family from Tuxedo Park, N. Y, which has been his domicile since he retired from Congress follow ing his defeat for the Senate by Oscar Underwood
 Alabama prohibition leaders, men high in the official ranks of the Anti-Saloon league did not hesitate yesterday to ex- press their complete qualification at this latest act of Captain Hobson. As a lec- turer and an evangelist in the cause of prohibition and temperance, they value this erstwhile Alabamian most highly. As a candidate for office in his native state his welcome would be most uncer- tain.
 On two occasions in the past the politi- cal aspirations of the Merrimac hero spurred on by officials of the Anti Saloon League of America, have driven the pro- hibition ship in Alabama upon the rocks.

New Orleans, December 2O.-Agents for the French government purchased 1.O0O bales of cotton linters here today, one of the largest inter sales ever handled in this market. according to exchange officials, and declared to be the largest purchase by any of the foreign govern ments on record. All the II 600 bales, it was stated, would be manufactured into explosives. The financial arrangements for the French officials who bought the linters were made by J. P. Morgan x Co. of New York, according to informa- tion in reliable quarters here,
 Spot traders stated that in addition to the 11,000 bales of linters bought here, France during the last few days has bought total of 100000 bales of linters, 400O0 of which were purchased at Texas points.
 Linters are quoted in this market at ' cents pound, mill run, without re- gard to grade A bale of linters is worth $35 and today's transaction involved $985,00 This years inter crop has been estimated at from 800,OO0 to 100000 bales, the bulk of which, it is thought, already has been sold.

gave us a backset in this state from which we are just now recovering. Tn the nation, I think it tended to post pone the final consumfnation of nation wide prohibition.
 "We really had no just fight on Sena- tor Underwood. who was then the demo- cratic leader in Congress and the rep resentative from the Ninth district. He could have prevented, while he was House leader, the passage of the Webb-Kenyon bill, in which all prohibitionists through out the country were interested. With his prestige as a presidential possibility and one of the greatest assets of the democratic party, it was useless to try to defeat him, even if he should have been busted from Congress in the inter- est of the prohibition cause. Then to Emake the vicious attacks on his honor and integrity which were made in that campaign was unwarranted as well as bad judgment.
 Tt almost amounted to an effort to keep one Of the most powerful men in America from aiding our cause. In fact
 it seeued like we were trying to drive him into the camp of the liquor forces, whether he wanted to go there or not. Every honorable man has some pride

 That cigar, honey, is a symbol of the democracy in business which we men take as matter of course. The Rourkes and the Burkes and all the political tribe are my customers. It happens that handing out cigars Is their speciality literally. Well, I am expected to give my high social polish at oiambakes and club smokers in exchange
 The swing of the cigar box to the customers says, You're under my roof commercially. You are my guest for the time. Here's my recognition of the fact-smoke it. The Rourkes, the Burlies, the Cassidys don't con fine their business transactions to my office.

MANDAMUS SUITS ARGUED IN COURT
Settlement of Dispute Be tween Attorney General and Governor as to Law

Montgomery, December 2O.-ts -tspecial.) The dispute involving the right of Gov ernor Henderson to approve or disap- prove expense accounts of the attorney generals department is now before the supreme court. Arguments were com pleted Wednesday in three cases and the decision of the supreme court will be of great importance in future work of the executive department and the attorney generals office. Arguments for the at

 from the Montgomery city court, where decisions were rendered against him, were made by William L. Martin at torney general, and Lawrence E. Brown, assistant attorney general, while Gov ernor Henderson was represented in the oral arguments by Ray Rushton of | Montgomery.

His friends insisted that he was not the tool of the liquor interests, but the Hobson campaign did everything ! in it's power to make him their leader. RACE AGAINST BANKHEAD 'The same situation to a degree was true in the case of the race which Hob son made against w. B. Bankhead last 1 spring for Congress from the Tenth dis | trict. In the first place, the people of l this state will not elect any man to 1 Congress or the Senate who will not at least. take up a nominal residence among them and who will not come to the state unless engaged in a campaign for of l flee Hobson was not induced to make l this race by Alabama Anti-Saloon league l officials. We could not afford to fight | MT. Bankhead.
 "Bankhead had written to leading pro- hibitionists, in response to their queries, l that he would support the dry legisla . | ton in Congress. We had assured him | that we would make no fight against
 him in favor of any other prohibtionist, and that if any wet candidate opposed him, we would lend our support in his i behalf The ti-Saloonaleague officials who had made this promise eouid not honcrably take part in the race in favor | of Hobson, but local men had not been consulted and were not advised on his 1 intentions until he had entered the race. While I rrize Captain Hobson high l ly as a great agent for the cause of pro- 1 hibiton and as one of the greatest fac- tors in the cI cation of the present senti- , ment throughout the country for our cause, I, am of the opinion that his strength lies in his power as a lecturer rather than as a candidate for office from Alabama. In view of the fact that we may have work to do in this state during the next two years or so, it is pleasing to know that possible Hobson campaign which might embarrass us in
 our other fights and endanger our suc-
 cess for the real state issues is appar-
 ently eliminated from the realm of pos-
 sbility."
