SEWANEE CAMPA|GN COMMITTEE WILL MAKE FINAL EFFORT Round Up of Campaign to Raise $3OO,OOO for the
 University of the
 South

The Sewanee campaign throughout the south to raise S300,000, which has been in progress several months, will close June 1. The central committee having the canvass in charge will meet at Sewanee during commencement the week after to tabulate the returns A telegram received in Birmingham yes terday from the chancellor, Bishop A. W. Knight, states that the total so far in hand is $23s,00O and that there are other promises which bring the amount to within s15,000 or s20,0o0 of the total sought.
 The committee in charge of this work is Birmingham is composed of Il. G.. Seibels, Edmund Armes, Robert Jemi son, Jr., V. J. Nesbit, pr. Miles Wat kins, "Chigger" Brown, Rev. w. Fl. Claybrook, Rev. l.. G, H. Williams Rev. M. $. Barnwell and Rev. W. S Poynor.
 There are 22 dioceses of the Epis- copal church comprising the southern states which are affiliated With &c., vance. In organizing this campaign the $300,000 to be raised was divided between these dioceses according to their financial strength from a church standpoint Under this plan $20,500 was named as the part to be raised in Alabama. So far of this sum $16,5 has been raised or promised, as ascer- tained by the Birmingham committee. yesterday.
 A final effort will be made today to raise the remaining $4000. Tele- grams have been sent to other cities in the state and two men are on the road to push things. Three dioceses have done more than their part and it is firmly believed by those in charge that Alabama will come up with it's full apportionment, which with that from the other centers which are mak- ing final effort also will carry the fund safely beyond the $300,000 mark

DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES

DLN LLOT MEN UT hESOU hCEO There has been too much talk about the great natural resources of Alabama. The time has come for action! We must de- tage of every opportunity to effect their development. About two months before the surrender of the armies of the Con- federacy, conference was held by Abra- ham Lincoln with three Confederate com- missioners at Hampton Roads. I do not
 know whether it is history or whether 1t is fiction, but the story is that at that conference MT. Lincoln, holding a sheet of white paper in his hand said
 to Alexander H. Stephens, Let me write union on this paper and you may write whatever else you please" If this story
 be founded on fact, what an opportunity for the south was lost! If we could bring the people of Alabama to a proper
 realization of the importance of organ ization, coordination and intelligent CO., operation, of constant and unf1agging ef-
 fort and of efficiency in work; if we
 could be justified in taking a map of Alabama and in writing across that map Tn outstanding letters reaching from the
 tennessee to the Gulf. and from Georgia
 to Mississippi. the word "Efficiency," we
 would have a great and prosperous state
 no matter what else might be written tEere. In the south today our economics as rule are neither scientific nor po- tenCally efficient, nor do our activities contribute to stop waste and to increase waste everywhere. We have made only beginning in the manufacture of by- products-we can see in half a days | journey thousands of coke ovens, illumi hating the midnight skies with flames which contain many elements of wealth, but which are absolutely thrown away. Because of the nitrogen which 1t con tains, million tons of cotton seed meal are put back every year into the soil of the cotton fields of the south, although overhanging every acre there are over 33,000 tons of atmospheric nitrogen which the water powers of Alabama now go-

wish that I were a. word painter, so that could picture to you the great oppor- tunity that is presented to the people of Alabama, and the far-reaching results that would come from the location or this nitrate plant within the borders Of our state. Imagine gigantic dam across a broad and majestic river, great power house, and beyond, nitrate plant on one side of which will be built a large factory where nitric acid will be pro- duced for use in the manufacture Of eX- plosves; on the other side works for the production of ammonium phosphate, where the phosphate rock brought from nearby fields will be combined with the nitrates and converted into that impor- tant ingredient of all commercial fertillz- CTS. ammonium phosphate.
 "The waters of the Tennessee in their ceaseless flow toward the Ohio and the Mississippi, can generate at minimum cost, after the initial expenditure has been made, the large amount of power necessary for the operation of these plants. This power contrary to the fears of many, would not interfere with the consumption of Alabama coal for It would develop an entirely new industry, which cannot be established if dependent upon coal as fuel I wish that l could picture to you the other important indus tries that would follow the establishment
 
 the manufacture of the finest grades or steel, and establishments for the pro- duction of aluminium from the vast de- posits of bauxite which abound in east Alabama. I would point out to you the wonderful opportunity that would thus be opened to the young men of Alabama, and can see in my minds eye great school of technology here at the university, where future generations can be taught the principles of efficiency and of ap- piled science, which have done so much for the development of Germany during the past 40 years. Surely every man of influence in Alabama will do all in his power to induce the President to To- cate this plant on the banks of the Ten nessee. Many other states have eligible locations to offer, though none in my opinion can at all compare with the one at Muscle Shoals. Every possible influ- ence will be brought to bear by these states to present their own locations in the most favorable light, and it behooves the people of Alabama during the next few months to work as they have never worked before, if we wish to win this great prize, which would mean an im- mediate expenditure within our borders of S20000,000, with industries to follow which will cost at least 80, coo, GOO more, |
