PART OF PATRIOTISM


 Tt is the part of patriotism for Bir- the visitors for few hours Sunday" said Mr. Motion yesterday. The coming of these real estate men, representing, they do, practically every section of our country, means that Birmingham will be advertised throughout the land in man. ner such as never before fell to it's lot. Whether or not this advertising is of favorable nature-of such a nature we all will be proud of-depends upon the treatment accorded the visitors while here
 Birmingham cannot afford to send the real estate men away with bad im- precate it if every one who has an au- tomobile will call me over the telephone, or call T. P. Hay, Jr., executive secre- tary of the real estate exchange, and ad- wise that we may use the car for the purpose of showing our guests what Bir- mingham has. It is an investment that has real merit.''
 Hill Ferguson suggests that those who desire to take ride tomorrow morning local committee to carry three or four visitors in the car and make the trip with the party. Tt is very important that we have enough cars for the visit ors,'' said MT. Ferguson last night. I've had made arrangements for plenty of &C., commo moda tions, but when the number of visitors was increased 150, it became nec- essary for us to appeal to the citizens of the city for help.

INTERESTS OF SOUTH

"1t would seem that, regardless of the fact that the south is the main strength of the democracy the demo- cratic administration at Washington is apparently thoroughly indifferent to the interests of the south and to the prog ress of the country generally if the attitude in deliberately delaying a de- cision which involves the progress of the entire country, and particularly the south, is an index to the interest of the administration.
 "1t is, indeed, to say the least, dis couraging to find in the same issue of a Birmingham paper one article ex- plotting the investment of millions of dollars by the Steel corporation in every other part of the country, and another article in the same paper proclaiming that the democratic party is deliberate ly delaying litigation. which the Steel corporation alleges is responsible for the delay in developing it's properties in the Birmingham district, it being the understanding that as soon as this case is settled approximately $25,000.000 will be invested in finishing plants here, which the corporation is apparently ready to build as soon as it is deter llluSQ WHGlHcT UT uOl It CdIl COUllUue to own and control the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company's proper ties.
 This suit, however, is not only throttling the development of the Steel corporation in the Birmingham district but there are many other developments now in suspense by large corporations pending the decision of this suit. In my humble opinion, it is high time that the democratic party should cease thrOt- ting developments on account of liti- gations and appeals of such suits as the Steel corporatior's case, where the decisions of the lower court were so sweeping and positive, and that the democratic party certainly owes some thing to the south of a constructive nature and less of a destructive ma ture

 Her principal work an educator was at the State Normal school al Livingston, where in 1881, she was made co-principal with Dr. Carlos G. Smith. Her work was not confined to the academic instruc- tion given in the class rooms. and she exercised a wonderful influence over the lives and characters of the young women who came under her charge. More than 25 years ago. in order to free Livingston and Sumter county from saloons, which were exceedingly offensive on account of the large negro population. she organized a prohibition campaign which freed that town and county from saloons years be- fore the movement gained strength in other parts of the state. Sumter county has remianed dry territory since that time.
 WORK FOR SOCIAL REFORMS
 Miss Tutwiler did much work in the line of social reform and her efforts for improvement of prison conditions wrought a change in the convict system of the state She succeeded in establishing night schools for the convicts in many camps, brought about the improvement of san- itary conditions in some, and secured the appointment of chaplains
 Miss Tutwiler was widely known as a writer of prose, poetry and song. Her "Star-Spangled Banner of Peace' wa sung a The Hague peace conference and Alabama" was adopted as the official song of the state Several of her songs were written for the purpose of quicken ing the national patriotism and wiping out sectional prejudices.

JemisOn Contends Great In- jury Is Being Done Whole Country by Administra- tiOn's Delay
GOVERNMENT SAYS THE SUIT DOES NOT
 BAR DEVELOPMENT
Manufacturers Record This Week Makes Feature of Various Angles of the Pending Litigation

The current issue of the Manufac- turers' Record makes a feature of the Steel corporation dissolution suit.
 On the cover page attention is called to the great injury being done the south by the delay in the decision.
 On the first page of the editorial section is article by the editor in which is incorporated a letter from Robert Jemi- son. Jr., of Birmingham. Mr Jemison is vigorous in condemning the injustice be- ing done by the democratic administra- tion not only to the south, but to the whole nation, by delay.
 On another page is dispatch from Washington including an authoritative announcement regarding the attitude of the department of justice toward the liti- gation.
 In this statement it is claimed that the Tennessee company is a minor issue so far as the dissolution suit is concerned and that failure of the corporation to continue development of the Tennessee companys properties bears out the gov ernment's contention that it was bought to stifle growing competition and not with the intention of development.
 MIR. JEMISON'S REASONS
 The editorial embracing MT. Jemison' s letter is as follows:
 From one of the foremost business men of Birmingham the Manufacturers Record has letter called forth by the suggestion of the Manufacturers Rec cord that the administration ought to ask the United States supreme court to advance on it's docket the suit of the government against the United States Steel corporation. Referring to the reasons given in that statement as to why this should be done, the Bir- mingham business man, who wrote us on the subject, says:
 CT enclose clippings from The Age Herald of Wednesday, March 15, one clipping being an article by Holland regarding s60,O00,000 in appropriations for new developments by the Steel cor poration, which. according to the ar ticle, are to be made at Gary, Duluth and, in fact, apparently all points where the corporation is interested, except the Birmingham district.
 The other clipping refers to a re- quest of the Assistant Attorney Gen. eral that the case against the Steel cor ing the time to the administration from March 15 to July 15 for transmitting testimony.
