QUOTES MEMPHIS MAN

Charles Terry, well known insurance
man tells an interesting story about a
municipal golf links. Il was talking to a
man who recently moved from Memphis
to Birmingham today. He is a very
capable young fellow. and makes a good
salary. He remarked to me that we had
no golf links here for the man who could
not afford to join an expensive club. L
ca mot join club and pay all the attend
ant dues he said. In Memphis we
have one of the finest courses to be
found anywhere 1t is owned by the city,
1 got into the habit of playing golf quite
regularly and miss the municipal links a
great DEAL
There are many people like this man."
continued Mr.. Terry. II believe the build
ing of a golf course will draw and hold
people here permanently"
Courtney Henley, real estata man, Is
another golf enthusiast. Let's get out
and push this thing to a success" he
said IT am for the proposition without
any reservations. l would like to see
fine golf course here for the public. We
should have it and 1 firmly believe it
will meet with the approval Of all the
people. 1t will not be a big task to
put this property at Green Springs in
shape, and I want to see it done as
badly as any citizen"
Francis B. Latady is familiar with
the golf game. and it's history. IT'S an
ancient and honorable game" said Mr..
Lstady. 1T originated in Holland sew
eral centuries ago. / am of the opin-
ion that the word golf came from the
Dutch 'kolb,' meaning a club We find
in history that James VI of Scotland,
who afterward became James l of Eng
land, had Parliament pass a law forbid
ding the Importation of Hollnd golf balls
on account of its interfering with home
industry. This was in the fourteenth
century. If it was good game then.
it is better game now, and the peo-
pie of Birmingham should be given an
opportunity to enjoy this Scotch pastime
to their hearts content The building of
a course at Green Springs will mean that
the people win have this opportunity,
and it is coming to them"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-10-13

the cost to the city would be practically
nothing and that The Age-Herald had
agreed to raise by public subscription
whatever funds were necessary to build
a clubhouse and for such other features
as would be demanded to give the people
the greatest benefit from the use of the
park as golf links. He stated that the
commissioners were unanimously in favor
of the project, but they naturally ap-
preciated the Endorsement of represen-
tative bodies.
Aside from the recreation advantages,
Mr.. Stanley called the attention of the
real estate men to the certain increases
it would mean in property values in the
vicinity of the park and the stimulus it
would give realty values in that section
of the city.
SPEAKERS FAVOR 1T
Mr. Motion spoke in favor of a motion
for hearty Endorsement, as did James A.
Bailey, and the statement was made that
The Age-Herald deserved the thanks of
Birmingham for suggesting something
upon which the five commissioners and
everybody else in Birmingham" could
agree and work for harmoniously. The
motion carried unanimously.
Probably the feature of the evening
was an address by f. A. McElroy of
the purchasing department of the Ten
neSSee company. Mr.. McElroy gave some
very helpful suggestions as to what
should be done in Birmingham to meet
the certain great destiny to which the
city is coming.
K A. Murray spoke in reference to
the Alabama Travelog, a motion picture
film of the state, which is now being
produced under the auspices of the Chi
cago Herald. Other speakers included
Arthur c. Crowder, Vice President n. A.
Moseley, DIR. Burr Ferguson and Jerome
A. Tucker, who reported on the progress
of plans for the "Buy-a- Home" move
ment which begins next Monday.

.LATADY WRITES
HUDDLESTON FOR
A JOINT DEBATE
Wants Protection" Dis
cussed Publicly Before
the Voters of Jeffer-
son County
Will they have a debate?


Congressman George Huddleston says
that his reelection is already assured
and therefore there is no necessity to
cebate-especially on such an issue as
protection
Francis B. Latady. the republican nomi-
nee, AYERS differently. He writes Mr..
Huddleston that protection is a vital
issue, and should be debated jointly for
the benefit of the voters of Jefferson
county. He also charges that the indif-
ference Of the democratic party to PRO
lection" has brought great suffering to
the workers of this district MIR. Latady
also welcomes the discussion by Mr.. Hud-
dleston of his participation in the demo-
cratic primary, and then coming out in
opposition to the nominee.
In his reply to Mr.. Latady's first let
ter Congressman Huddleston cites some
election figures on his opponent to the
general trend that his own reelection
is assured and therefore there is no cry
ing necessity for a joint debate. Mr..
Huddlestons letter follows:
HUDDLESTON'S LETTER
MY DCdi oh 1 iihtO Jool ACtulitCu
to the city and find yours of I'd inst. in
viting me to a debate on Protection
I'm view Of the fact that more than
three-fourths of the legal voters of the
Ninth Congressional district took part in
the recent democratic primary, and that
1 received &c per cent of. the vote cast,
my vote constituting about two-thirds of
~ +ol Of ho Is
trict, my election next month is assured.
There seems to be no occasion whatever
for me to engage in any activities of d
nonpartisan character during the next
two months. However, if the demo-
cratic campaign committee should wish
me to make public speeches on behalf of
my party l WILL of course, cheerfully
do so. At this particular time when
American industry is straining itself to
meet the demand for our manufactures
am inclined to believe that the peo-
Pile feel no burning interest in the pro-
lection ISSUE A discussion of it would
be largely academic. The differences be-
tween the democratic and republican par
ties are fundamental. The issue of pro-
lection. is at this time one of the small
est points of contact The republican
party judged by it's performances and its
leaders rather than by its promises has
become the party of privilege, reaction
and special interests. On the other hand,
the democratic party has splendid
record Of actual work in behalf of hui
mainly and the great body of our people
to point to- / do not think l could bring
myself to debate upon protection
alone when there are SO many other vi
tai issues in the present campaign
"Also in any debate between us at this
time l should feel called on to discuss
your course in taking part in demo-
cretic primary with what appears to
have been the deliberate intent not to
