INDUSTRIAL DINNER
AT TUTW|LER HOTEL
Situation Regarding Loca-
ton of New Industries
to Be Discussed

Present indications are that the Cham
Der of Commerce industrial dinner, TO
be given at the Tutwiler hotel next Thurs
day night, will be largely attended, ac-
cording to Blanks Everett, acting Vgen-
eral manager. Invitations with accept
ance cards have been mailed to all mem
bers of the chamber, and quite a num-
Der have been returned filled out.
The purpose of the industrial dinner,
according to President Morris W. Bush,
is to bring the business interests of Bir-
mingham together to discuss the indus
trial situation in Birmingham, and to
form cooperative plans for going out
after more industries for this district.
1t is the purpose of the Chamber of Com
merce in conducting this campaign, to
gather all possible data on the present
industries in Birmingham, showing how
many have attempted operation in Biz
mingham and the number that have made
ures were made.
Every member will be urged to come
to the dinner well armed with informa-
ton. 1t was pointed out that practically
every business man in Birmingham knew
something about the industrial situation
here, and could furnish more or less in
formation that would be valuable in To-
eating some kind of industry.
In addition to the industrial interest,
a splendid programme has been arranged.
and the plates have been secured at a
popular price.

WEST END REVIVAL
GROWS IN INTEREST
Many Members Received
Into Various Churches
Yesterday

The union revival being conducted at
West End, under the auspices of the
West End Church federation, continues
with undated interest. The meetings,
which are being conducted by Evangelist
Bass, will run through Wednesday
More than $50 members were received
into the various churches of West End
yesterday, while there are still large
numbers to be received before the meet
ing closes. DR.. Bass preached two strong
sermons yesterday. The afternoon SER
mon was preached to a mixed audience
but directed especially to the young folk.
Worldly pleasures, such as dancing, were
scored by the evangelist.
At the service last night collection
was taken for the evangelist and his
two assistants, this being the only pay
ment that DIR. Bass would agree to ac-
cept on coming to West End. The con-
gregation was liberal in it's offering show
ing the appreciation of the work done
by Dr. Bass. The finance committee made
a partial report last week, which showed
that the expenses had already been paid
through free will offerings, and that a
neat sum would be left for further church
developments in West End. The taber-
nacle also is left for further use, or
for salvage.
Full cooperation of the pastors of the
five churches of West End has added
much to the big success of the revival
and DIR. Bass has spoken favorably of
the unity of church work in this COM
munity. Dr. Bass will leave after the
meeting here for Texas.

WAGE ACTIVE FIGHT
Voters of District Will Be
Addressed by Prominent
Speakers

Democrats in the Ninth district will
not remain inactive while the republicans
wage a persistent campaign. John B.
Bethea, chairman of the Jefferson county
democratic executive committee, declared

would be appealed to in an effort to
get the strongest demonstration and in
dorsement for President Wilson, Con-
gresham George Huddleston and other
democratic nominees. Prominent demo-
cratic speakers will go before the people
in this district and urge that unqualified
backing be given the nominees.
I'VE are going before the people to
enlist their support of the administra-
tion," said Mr.. Bethea. 1--WE will have
prominent men to address the voters and
to show them why they ought to turn
out solidly behind President Wilson, Con-
gresham Huddleston and the other nomi-
nees of the party.
Though little time remains we are 60
ing to canvass the entire district. There
is going to be a tremendously big meet
ing in Birmingham. The outcome of the
election in November will see Wilson
reelected to the presidency and the nomi-
nees in this district accorded a big vote
of confidence"
The members of the subcommittee,
which will conduct the active campaign
for the democratic nominees in this dis
trict, as named by Chairman Bethea, are:
e. E. Matthews, chairman; Albert C.
Kicks, DR.. A. C. Branyon, DR.. Vann
Vines Ray Tillnan, Lou Salter and
Francis M. Lowe.

DOWN DECISION TODAY
IN INJUNCTION CASE
Fate of Nichols Fishtrap Highway
Depends Upon Action to Be
Taken by Court

In the hands of Judge C. B. Smith of
the circuit court lies the fate of the
Nichols Fishtrap highway to the Warrior
river.
Judge Smith took under advisement on
Saturday afternoon the motion to dis
solve the temporary injunction granted
E. d. Hyche, a court bailiff of Besse-
mer, by Judge E.. C. Crow, several weeks
ago, which restrained the board of reve-
nue. from awarding the contract to con-
struct the Nichols Fishtrap highway.
1t is understood that he will announce
his decision either this afternoon or to-
morrow morning.
If the injunction is upheld it means
that there will be no Nichols Fishtrap
highway. If the temporary injunction is
dissolved the majority of the board of
revenue will proceed to award the con-
tract for the construction of the high
way.

r. S. WARNER RETIRES
FROM ACTIVE BUSINESS
Entered Field Here Thirty Five Years
Ago-Sells Out to Estes
Company

Birmingham was presented with an in
teresting story yesterday when r. 8.
Warner, of Warner Ice Cream and Candy
company, announced his retirement from
business. Thirty-five years had elapsed
since he started in small way in the
confectionery field. AS Birmingham
grew, his operations swelled until yester-
day he retired from business to spend
his ripe years in contented ease.
1t was in 1881 that Mr.. Warner invested
in the Birmingham field At that time,
he became convinced of the possibilities
of this district and started operations.
AS his business justified, he enlarged
his plant to meet the increased volume
in trade.
While no figures were announced when
he sold his business to the w. q. Estes
Ice Cream company, it is understood that
he received a goodly sum. Mr. Warner
will spend the winter in F1orica.
