screwed the back on again, wound up
the clock and shook it.
The clock continued in a state Of
innocuous inactivity.
"Humph!'' Qssnp Spwiggs exclaimed
to himself, and this time took the face
off and squirted eau de cologne into

BUY IT HERE

When you stop to consider the fact
that you are often disappointed in
goods ordered from catalogue house,
that you have to buy for months ahead
to make your order big enough to pay,
with consequent large outlay of cash,
that you are compelled to wait week
or two, that you have to pay the freight
and often to pay for wagon. to deliver
your goods, it seems hardly worth
while.

TUSCALOOSA PLANS
 SOME FINE WHARVES
President D. B. Robertson of Commis- sion Says Dr. Davis Is Working
 Out Comprehensive Scheme

Tuscaloosa will be in position to get the full benefits from the use of the War mor river as soon as we can build our municipal docks and wharves," said D. $. Robertson, president of the city com mission of Tuscaloosa, who was in Rr- mingham yesterday. We are now work Ing on the plans, which are being made by Dr. George Jacob Davis, dean of tbe engineering school of the university. Dr Davls has made a study of river wharves and docks and has visited a number of river cities since he entered upon this work for the city of Tuscaloosa.
 We Will construct the wharf near I.ocl, 10, which is just back of the b1siness part of the city. We will build good low grade road from the city to the river and VIII make it wide enough for the street railway to run it's lines to the wharves and handle carload shinments to all the stores and industries around Tuscaloosa. When these improvements are completed we will be able to cut out the heavy loading and unloading charoas now required as well as the excessive switching charge from Riverview. where the boats and barges are now unloaded :,

Senator Would Like to See Judge Grubb of Birming-
 ham Given Promotion
HE HAS MADE GREAT
 RECORD ON BENCH
William C. Fits Name Is Suggested for the Federal Bench in Case Contingency Should
 Arise

''It is with deep regret that I learn of the death of Justice Joseph R. La mar of the United States supreme court" said Senator John H. Bank head while in Birmingham last night. Justice Lamar was recognized as one of the ablest members of that great body. He was a democrat from Geor- Sla and the fact that his appointment by President Taft was one of the few ever made in this country from an op- posite political party was a remark corporation lawyer all his life, yet he was confirmed by the Senate with out dissenting vote in 1910, time when there was strong public opin- ion against naming men under cor poration influence to judicial positions
 Justice Lamar was a member of the distinguished Lamar family of the south, which gave the nation some of it's greatest men. He was a cousin of Justice L. Q. c. Lamar of Mississippi, who was himself member of the su- preme court for many years The south has lost one of it's greatest men in the death of Justice Lamar and the supreme court of the United States one of it's ablest and most highly re- spected members"
 In discussing the matter of a suc- cessor to Justice Lamar, Senator Bank head was of the opinion that south ern man was certain to be named by President Wilson. '"The honor should and doubtless will go to the south, and I know of no man better suited for the honor than Judge William l. Grubb of Birmingham, judge of the federal court for the northern district of Alabama said Senator Bankhead. Judge Grubb is regarded as one of the ablest jurists in the country and the reputation he has made on the fed eral bench will serve to make him a serious contender for the honor. I shall certainly do all in my power to aid in securing the appointment for him, and think the President will confer the honor most worthily should he name Judge Grubb."
 It will be recalled that Judge Grubb was seriously considered by President Wilson for place on the federal court of appeals, but the honor finally went to Judge Walker of Alabama, one of the Presidents close personal friends. Judge Grubb is said by attorneys and judges to have made one of the most enviable records of any man who ever occupied the federal bench and he has repeatedly been called to New York and other places to sit on important cases. He is extremely highly regard ed in the north and east
 It was pointed out last night that in the event President Wilson should name Judge Grubb for the supreme bench, William c. Fitts, assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, would be strong candidate for the judgeship of the federal bench here It is known that Attorney Gen eral Gregory, who named MT. Fitts as his assistant, has very nigh regard for the Birmingham man, and local polit- ioal leaders who are versed on na- tional matters are of the opinion that Mr. Pitts would probably be recon mended by the Attorney General for the place should the contingency arise.

GRAVES FORESEES HONEST ELECTIONS
 UNDER NEW LAWS
Says Statutes of Other States Were Drawn Upon to Perfect the Ala
 bama Acts

Alabama will have honest elections in the future, according to Bibb Graves, chairman of the state democratic execu- corrupt practices which have been preva- tent in practically every state and county election in Alabama in recent years are practically impossible under the new cleo tion laws passed by the recent legisla- ture
 In discussing the matter while in Bir- mingham, Mr. Graves said: "The new laws contain the best features of tn, corrupt practice acts of all states of the union The laws were drafted after many weeks work Investigating the steps taken in other progressive states which had de- cided to put a stop to the corruption Which has marred our elections and which threatened to undermine our sys- tenn of popular government
 The people will find that election places will be quiet and orderly in the future and every man can vote in peace without having a dozen men pulling at his arm and trying to mark his ballot. This is one of the most important fea- lures of the new law. Any man who buys vote does so with full knowledge that the man who will sell his vote will break his promise, so it was usually agreed that some one should mark the ticket or see 1t before it was deposited in the box. All this is now made impossible. The strict punishment that can be meted out to ali parties engaged either directly or indirect ly in any election corruption will in my opinion. practically eliminate all buying and selling of vn-as, as well as the ether improper practices which have been SO common in the past

SENATOR BULGER
 FOR BOND ISSUE
Sees No Other Business-Like Way ir Which to Care for the States
 Indebtedness

When the proposed s1,50O000 bond issue was up on the state senate I supported it believing that it offered the only feasible means of relieving the financial situation which confronted the state," said Sen ator Thomas L. Bulger of Dadeville, who was in Birmingham yesterday. "Witf the indebtedness of the state con siderably more than s2,O0Oo0O, it seemed utterly impossible to take care of the situation without a bond issue for at lea st $1,500,0O0. l am confident that if the peo- pie of the state will vote this issue the administration will be able to handle the other part of the Indebtedness.

While in Birmingham yesterday. There seems to be general disposition on the part of the railroads to grant all reason- able requests, and the people of the state are only asking for things which are based on reason.
 With the greatly inciaased powers which were conferred on the railroad commission by the public utilities act passed by the last legislature, this body IS one of great importance The race Tor the presidency of the commiss on promises to be one of great interest.

Famous Statesmen, Actors, Sportsmen, Pugilists and Ball Players Have Con- tributed to the Merriment Around This Table
By ALLEN J. KREBs, JR.

well groomed man with iron gray hair and keen, observing eyes, stopped
 suddenly and gazed with a puzzled look at structure in the course of being demolished on Second avenue and Nine- teenth street. It was evident that the
 man was a stranger In town He look ed
 long at the old Florence hotel and noticed the many workmen carrying out tapestries, furniture, rugs, oil paintings and all other equipment of a modern hotel. Finally he stopped a passerby and asked:
 Are they tearing down the old Florence or getting ready to remodel it again?"
 The passerby told him that the build ing was being torn down to give way to progressiveness and that a new building was going to be built on the
 old site for Louis Saks Clothing com pany.
 Its been a long time since I was in this city, but that was the first hotel ever stopped at in Birmingham, more than 25 years ago. I hate to see it torn down." With this bit of recollection re- cited, he walked slowly down the street
 There are many such men all over the United States who will learn with sorrow that the Florence, the first hostelry of any importance in Birming ham, is being torn down. Some of these people are among the most prominent in the United States; statesmen, pro-
 fessional men, actors, sportsmen, pugil- ists, actresses, and in fact people from all over the globe in many different walks of life

"Everywoman"

One of the distinguishing characteris- ties of the production of the dramatic spectacle, "Everywoman," which Henry W. Savage will offer at the Jefferson Thursday, matinee and night, is it's huge size There are two complete carloads of scenery and electrical effects. The fourth act set alone is larger than the majority Of large productions. 1t is the act in which is represented the fanfare and riot of New Years Eve on Broad way New York. Those who have wit messed it are amazed at the faithfulness of the picture. It is a scene once wit messed long to be remembered, because it is not merely counterfeit present. ment of life, but life itself.

HEADQUARTERS FOR YEARS

The ones who will be the most grieved over seeing the old hotel torn down brick by brick, are a coterie of
 men who live in this city and have 1 made the Florence hotel their head quarters for many years. They have l seen one manager after another come along and make a success of the hotel. 1 They have seen some queer sights within the confines of those old walls Some of them were sights that betokened gladness and joy, others sorrow and grief. If those walls could talk many a tale of intrigue, love, hatred sor- row and joy could be told in fashion most interesting. Even though those walls stand no longer, the memories of years ago shall finger forever in the hearts of many of the citizens of
 Birmingham
 Hardy Burt, the present proprietor of the hotel, who has reigned over the old hostelry as the landlord for the last seven years, is probably the most sorrowful today of all those who have
 learned to know the atmosphere of love and tragedy which has always been evidenced at the Florence.
 It was in that old Florence hotel that Burt wooed, won and wed his wife less than five years ago. It was in that old Florence hotel where he and his good wife were blessed with a son and heir It was in that old Florence hotel where Burt has seen prosperity
 love, happiness and has made and held scores of friends.
 q feel as if I had lost one of my
 best friends he said. q hated to see
 the workmen loosen the first brick
 from those old walls that have stood
 for all these years A man without sentiment is bereft of many of the things that all make for full life
 and I must confess I have lot of sentiment regarding the old Florence, which is no more"

NOT PROSPEROUS THEN

Many years ago, more than twenty and five, group of men, all promi- nent in business and social life in Birmingham. began to eat their even- ing meal together. In the beginning they were not as prosperous as they are now. All of them possessed big hearts, a liking for their fellow man and a love for all that was beautiful. After they had toiled in the busy world each day while the sun was up they gathered at the close of the day to talk of things not pertaining to business.
 It would not be fair to attempt to tell of all the things this group of good fellows talked of. but let it suf- flee to say that they talked of every thing that any group of men could use as a morsel of conversation. And some rare bits of gossip were indulged in by
 them. They generally knew, and still do know, who was going to be the next mayor or commissioner of the town. They knew who was the prettiest debutante in society and what her plans were for the coming season. They entertained all sorts and classes of
 people at their table, and every man who supped with them was there at the invitation of some member of the round table.
