chants in the indorsement of the pro- posed Warrior highway
 'I agree with the other citizens who have declared themselves in favor of the Warrior highway" said MT Baugh. "There can be no doubt but what ev- eryone realizes nothing can be of greater benefit to this district than the highway to the Warrior.
 'The Ned Brace article in Sunday s Age-Herald was aAgood one and his many suggestions in regard to the building of the highway, docks, and all other things that are necessary for the development of this great proj- ect are timely. It will only be a short time now before the engineers make their report and the time will be ripe to get after the proposition more strongly than ever. Birmingham is a great city at present, but it will be made greater by the building of a really fine highway to the river

 Claude Griffin of Cullman said "Even if I am not voter in Jeffer- son county.
