 As the hour for the ceremony ap- preached a lovely musical programme, which included two songs, "At Dawn : ing' and 'I Love You Truly by Miss Ruth Finch with Miss Lucille Spar row at the piano. was given.

The lines have gradually been drawn closer and closer and tonight it is as certain as any future political event can be that the majority of voters in the Tenth dis trict who participate in the democratic primary will vote for Bankhead.
 Captain Hobson is closing up his cam pagn in Walker county. He spoke at Jasper and Nauvoo today and is engaged for four addresses tomorrow Sunday. He will wind up at Townley Monday night. MT. Bankhead will make his clos ing speech at Jasper Monday night at 8

 smallness of the shops really is an
 -d advantage to the owners, from I business point of view.
 From the standpoint of the shopper, they claim the exclusiveness of the upstairs shop and the lack of the hurry and hustle of the usual ground floor store makes for more careful buying; gives more time for selection, and the saving in prices of articles more than makes up for the short elevator ride it is necessary to take to reach the up- stairs shop.
 That the upstairs shop is the com

In Los Ange- les the Brack shops is a recent addi- tion to the city's skyscrapers, being 12 stories in height. all of which are de- voted entirely to Upper floor" shops.

 -A have come to stay.
 Practically all of the downtown office buildings have their quota of shops in the upper stories, the mer- chandise sold ranging from drugs and confectons to cloaks and suits, shoes, hats and jewelry. Decorating con cerns have taken kindly to the upper floor shop idea and more than one decorating company has not only its offices. but it's designing rooms in the upper floors of office buildings. The Empire building houses two drug stores besides mems tailoring es- tablishment and a woman's cloak and suit store.
 Jewels are sold in the First National Bank building. and the store which houses the firm that sells them is as well appointed as one would expect to find anywhere. A dental supply com pany in the First National Bank build ing carries it's supplies in it's store rooms located in that building, and a decorating company finds that it's GUS toners do not mind the short elevator ride necessary to reach their floor.
 The Jefferson County Bank building is the home of a shoe store, and a millinery store also is located on one of the upper floors.

 The idea of a skyscraper in Birming- ham devoted entirely to the use of upstairs shops is one that is well within the realms of possibility in the future. At the present time, the of- flee buildings are serving the dual pur- pose of housing merchandising con- cerns and business men.
 o'clock The most reliable estimates on the outcome of the race place Banl1head's majority at 800 to 1900 with the former figure more than conservative. A careful poll of 95 per cent of all the beats in the district show Bankhead to be in the lead in every county except Fayette. Senator Miner of Vernon believes Bank heads majority in the district will not be less than 1000.
 Probably the most accurate forecast of the result obtainable is one given out in Jasper today, based on revised and carefully analysed polls of the district It gives Bankhead the following nnaiorties: Walker by 600, Winston 200, Franklin 200, Marion 200, Lamar 200, Pickens 50. It is considered that F'ayette will not be worse than an even break.

 The enthusiasm manifested throughout the two hours speech never abated. It indicates sentiment that has been grow ing by leaps and bounds in Bankhead s favor during the closing days of the cam paign, and gives further and more de- eided foundation for the claims every where made now that Bankhead will carry Walker county over Hobson by big majority, and that his nomination is a certainty.

Tribute to J. ED HAIGLER

To the voters of Jefferson county in behalf of the candidacy of MT. J. Ed Haigler: I have known him for 25 years and have aa1 financial dealings with him and hasc -ound him an hon. est and upright man.
 He is member of the church and Sunday school and has always con- tributed liberally to the churches. schools and all charitable institutions in the community.
 and to verify this he has the indorse- ment and support of the people of his entire community
 I know him as business man and well qualified in every respect to fill the place al member of the Board of Revenue.
 He has served faithfully and eff ciently on the Board of Revenue for one term (from November, 1908 to Novem- Der, 1912). The knowledge that he re- ceived from this service and his ex- perience in road and bridge building and the financial affairs of this county especially makes him qualified for the duties of this office. Knowing MT. Haigler as I do, I can conscientiously recommend him to the voters of the county, feeling that they will make no mistake in electing him to the Board of Revenue. Very sincerely, G. w.
