ASSOCIATION OF ALA. COUNTY FAIRS
 WILL MEET TODAY
Circuit of County Fairs to Be Arr ranged at Meeting in Chamber of
 Commerce Building

The Alabama Association of County Fairs will meet in the offices of the Ala bama State Fair association in the Cham Der of Commerce building here tomorrow at noon. The meeting has been called by A. P Fuquay of Alexander City, sec retary of the association, who states that there will be from 15 to 20 of the county fair associations represented.
 At the meeting tomorrow, circuit of the county fairs will be arranged and contracts will be made for carnival com panies, free attractions and other fea- lures for the various county expositionS. It is stated that representatives of number of carnival companies and fair booking agencies will be here to meet the members of the association.
 Within the past few years there has been large increase in the number of county fair associations and to them is credited much of the development in agriculture and live stock raising in the state. The state association of county fairs has been in existence for several years and all it's meetings are he'd in Birmingham. By making up a circuit, it has been found that much better att fractions can be secured than when the fairs operated independently.

HEAVY VOTE CAST
 ON BOND ISSUES

According to Commissioner George B. Ward, the vote on all three of the bond issues on Monday was one of the heaviest in the history of the city. It emphasized the fact. stated the executive of the city commission, that the cleo torate of Birmingham were thoroughly awakened by the vigorous campaigns conducted for and against the various bond issues, and came to the polls in nt recedented numbers.
 Few commission races or mayoralty races. said Commissioner Ward brought out a heavier vote than was cast on Monday for the three bond is sues. A total of over 6400 votes was registered for and against the school bonds. which is a record for special election on bond issues and exceeds by some hundred votes the total number cast in some of the most exciting po- litcal races we have had. This shows that the electorate of this city were thoroughly alive to the situation and came to the polls. It also disposes of the statement that light vote was cast. It was not light vote. On the contrary, it was one of the heaviest votes on rec ord."

NOW APPARENTLY
 HAS NO DISTRICT
 TO MAKE A FIGHT
Many Believe His Presiden- tial Aspirations will Keep Him Out of Alabama Con- tests in Future
By LEON c. BRADLEY

Since the foundation of the republic, one of the omnipresent questions of the nation has been, What are we to do with our -Presidents?" President Taft declares, however, that this mo- mentous question has undergone a change of form recently, and now it is, What is our eX-President going to do with us?" Events now transpiring, and others which threaten to transpire at the republican convention at Chica- go, show that the Yale professor of law is not altogether incorrect
 But while the nation is wrestling with the problem of the strenuous col onel from Sagamore Hill, Alabama has a little query all her own.
 What will Hobson do?
 When again, if ever, will the people of this state be called upon to listen to the appeals of the captain for politi- cal preferment?
 How long before the hills and valleys of Alabama will again resound with the oratorical efforts of the Merrimac hero?
 When will the vote producing voice of the sage of Tuxedo Park disturb the poise and calm of the electorate?
 How long will Alabama be spared villification?
 Will the captain again seek to extract from an unwilling electorate the polit- ical honors they have twice refused him?

OFFICIALS CONF ON. PROPOSED ERECTION 0F MUN|T|0N PLANT
Plans Call for Expenditure of Millions of Dollars. Local Manager Called
 Into Conference

Charles J. Perry, local manager for the E. I. DuPont- -deNemours Powder company, has been called to Whining ton. Del to confer with officials of the company regarding plans for the proposed erection of a giant munitions plant in the Birmingham district, ac- cording to information obtained in in dustrial circles yesterday. Mir Perry left for Wilmington Tuesday morning and will not return before the latter part of the week.
 It has been known for sometime that the DuPont interests had plans for the construction of some large plants in the south and the advantages of the Birmingham district have been under consideration for sometime. Several engineers of the company have been here during the past month and have made an exhaustive investigation. AL though it was announced that no defi- mite decision has yet been reached by the officials of the company regarding the developments proposed for this dis trict, the fact that MT. Perry had been called to Wilmington for this confer ence was considered most encouraging by local industrial leaders.
 During their visits to the district, the engineers of the DuPont interests con ferred with number of prominent Birmingham men and while they made no statements as to what action their company would take, it became known that their reports on conditions here would be very favorable. Several other districts in the south have been i'm vestigated by the company with the view to making these investments, but it is known that they have been reject ed in the belief that Birmingham prob ably offered the better advantages. The plans for the developments under consideration call for the expenditure of millions of dollars and war muni- tions and chemicals are the products

 improvements were being contemplated.
 The new science hall now being erected

 Tho rnwell Haynes. the recently elected president, was introduced by MT. Mum l ger and made a splendid speech. He pledged himself to the upbuilding of the college, and said he realized what he was up against In closing he said: T pledge you that the culture of the heart, the soul and the spirit, shall ever stand supremely first as long as l am pres ident of Birmingham college"

DR. SIMPSON FORMALLY
 TURNS OVER HIS WORK
 TO THORNWELLH HAYNES

After speeches had been made, diplo mas delivered and medals and prizes awarded, and announcements made. Dr. John D. Simpson, former president of Birmingham college, formally delivered the college standards to Thornwell Haynes of High Point, N. c.
 The surrender of his office yesterday morning marked the finish of six years of useful service as head of the Meth odist institution. The large audience stood as the outgoing and incoming pres idents clasped hands and the blessing of the elder man was given along with the college standards
 The loss of Dr. Simpson ct Birmingham college was deeply felt, not only by the student body, but by the friends of the college also. Glowing tribute was paid him for his years of lnselfish service, by the faculty and class representatives, Frank K. Nesbitt and George H. Ran dall. and by Bishop J. H. Mccoy. After the closing of the exercises pr. Simpson was surrounded by a score of friends, who wept while embracing him.
 DIR. SIMPSONS. ADDRESS
 The exercises yesterday morning ended one of the most successful years in the history of the college. Eleven men and one woman received their degrees at the
 Methodist institution yesterday morning.
 Miss Mabele Self of Birmingham was received a degree at Birmingh ham college.
 In speaking to the graduating class Dr. Simpson told them that there were three
 things he wished to impress upon them in going out into the world. 'The first,
 he sad 'is a port-a port in lifes work.
 Do not founder about, my and
 daughters, upon the high seas of life
 without port to anchor in. Choose your port and anchor there. The second point is chart. Do not attempt a voyage out on a strange sea without a chart. The third and probably most important oe all is pilot. Be a trusty pilot in the pilot house of your own life. Learn to | shun the rugged ways of life as the river pilot learns to shun the rocks and snags along his ships course, and bring the 1 ship of your life safely into harbor as | the end.''
 The programme yesterday morning be- gan at 10:30 o'clock and lasted until after o'clock. After the invocation musical selection was gwen. This was followed by a speech from the faculty represen- tative "On Receiving a Diploma by frank K. Nesbtt of Birmingham, and a speech, Perseverance the Formula to Success" by the class representative, George H. Randall of Montevallo. The annual address was delivered by Bishop J. H. Mccoy. Bishop Mccoy spoke for almost an hour and spoke of the benefit of science when applied to the welfare of the human being. The speech was strong and forcefully deliv- cred, and from the applause it produced from time to time was highly interest ing to ms audience.
 Following this address the degrees were conferred upon the members of the se- nior class and diplomas given, with ap- propriate speech for each. A number of medals were presented to winners in va lous contests of the week and year. TRUSTEES ANNOUNCEMENTS Announcements from the board of trus- tees were made by R. $. Munger. He

OLD ISSUE INVOLVED

That the suits were an attack on com mission government never occurred to me. The constitutional provisions in- volved in these suits were passed before commission government was ever thought of in this state and applied as well when we had mayor and aldermen as now.
 "I am not half the enemy of commis- sion government that are some of those who have never realized that it was in tended to provide for solely business like consideration of public business and that it was not intended merely as a con- venient excuse for perpetual self-adver- Using and street corner oratory."

Denies That Any one Is Behind His Injunc- tion Suits Against the City Commission
NATURAL TO EXPECT CITY OFFICIALS TO
 FIGHT IN THIS WAY
Thought Never Occurred to Him of Effect of Suits on Commission Form of Gov ernment

T. c. Mcdonald last night iatly denied that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company or anyone else was be- hind the suits he has filed to enjoin the three new city bond issues
 T had the two suits brought without anybodys help or suggestion" he said T have no co-conspirators or confed- crates or accomplices of any kind in them"
 MT. Mcdonald had been informed by an Herald reporter of the charges made by Commissioner Barber and was asked for an expression. He submitted the following formal statement:
 HABIT IN CITY CASES
 "An Age-Herald reporter has kindly called my attention to MT. Barbers to- days interview.
 T suppose it is expected that it will have some influence on the decision of the cases I have brought, as I have mo- ttced that whenever the city is in law suit similar statements are apt to ap- pear in the press, and which no one would ever think of presenting the court itself
 I had the two injunction suits brought without anybody's help or suggestion. l have no co-consprators or confederates or accomplices of any kind in them.
 T brought them to find out whether the city can add more debt to the debts on which it cannot now pay the in- terest. and to pay the interest on which it now has, I am advised, no legal way to raise the necessary funds. I find that my course meets with general public ap- proval and that in the commission itseli it's value in settling doubtful questions according to law meets with favorable recognition.

BOTHERING POLITICIANS
Will Hobson come back?

These are questions which are being asked by the students of political con- ditions in Alabama Some there are who would dismiss the subject with a mere wave of the hand They contend that the statesman of Tuxedo Park is done for so far as his native state is con- cerned. They point to his crushing de- feat for the Senate, and his latest de- feat for Congress by an opponent to whom the captain contemptuously re- ferred as a mere cub" They believe Hobson has made his last race in Ala bama. They contend that he will pass
 on to other and more virgin fields. They predict that he will never again reside in Alabama. With some of them the wish may be father to the thought, but at least his record for the past 10 years would serve to bear them out so far as his residence is concerned.
 And then there are those who would argue that Alabama has not seen the last of Hobson. Some suggest that he may again seek place in Congress, but their contention in this regard seems without much basis. Despite his rather dramatic removal of his resi- dence from Tuxedo Park, or Greens boro, as the letter stated, the captain has not yet taken up his residence in Jasper. He has not purchased any of the magnificent homes to which he was so freely taken by the ambitious real estate agents of the Walker county town. Since the day of the election, Alabama has not had the privilege of looking upon his classic and heroic form. The captain has departed from among "his people" and there seems no reason to believe that he will again come among them unless in quest of the

BANKHEAD WILL GAIN

With William B. Bankhead firmly en- trenched in Congress, as he will be at the end of two years, it is hardly thought that Hobson could displace him. All the arguments which he used so potently in his recent campaign would be unavailing should he again seek to represent the new district to which he transferred, by postage, his residence.
 To go back to his former district, the Sixth, and attempt to run, would seem to be suicidal The captain deserted the people of his ancestral home when he turned the back of his hand upon Greensboro, where as a boy he was wont to gambol with his playmates, and sought to establish new residence in Jasper He has declared that there is no issue between himself and Con- gressman Oliver. That the voters would agree with him in this regard seems en- tirely probable. So far as going to Con gress from Alabama is concerned, the Merrimac hero seems to be a Man Without a District"
 Furthermore, it was known during the recent campaign that the captain had stated that he wanted only one term in Congress. He merely desired that office as fulcdum. It was as a mere means toward an end. He stated
