A dispatch from Washington
says Congressman Q, Bascom
Slemp, Of the Ninth Virginia
district, ia fully alive to the
great advantages that will ac-
crno to any State that secures
the location of giant factory
within it's borders for the man
ufncture of armor plate for the
government. He intends when
ever the plan reaches more
concrete form to make strong
effort TO have such factory
located in Virginia, and will
probably in II few days intro
duce n bill in the house of rep
resentatives providing for the
construction OF such plant at
either Roanoke, Bristol or Pu-
laski.
81 do not know whether this
or any succeeding congress will
commit the government to the
manufacture of armor plate for
its own use, in accordance with
made by con-
gress by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and other heads of de
partments,' said Congressman
Slemp, in speaking of his
plan to introduce n bill to locate
such II plantin Virginia. There
is II strong body of men in both
tho houee and senate who favor
the government having it's own
nrmor plate plant in order to eff
feet the enormous savings to
the government aud to the PEG
Pile of the millions Of dollars
now paid u the nrmor plate
manufacturers,
"This sentiment in favor Of
having the government make
it's own nrmor plate imagine
will grow as our expenditures
along this line increase. To be
in line with true preparedness,
The location Of such plant
should not be along the sea
coast, nor along the Great
Lakes. The former Is accessible
from the ocean and the latter
from Canada. In my judg-
ment, if the government does
go into this kind OF business il
would be best TO have two or
three disconnected units, all of
them in the interior.
In such an event, one would
probably come South, and
Virginia aud Alabama would
be the only real competitors,

GREENVILLE MAY GET
 A BIG COTTON MILL
Property of Gulf Red Cedar Co. Will Be Converted Into Mill if Deal
 Goes Through

Greenville, February 25.-(Special)-It became known in Greenville this morning that Greenville will have the opportunity of landing a $1O0,oOO cotton mill.
 Dr. J. A. Kendrick and several other of Greenville's leading citizens and moneyed men have been working up a proposition for the past two months to give Greenville this opportunity.
 The property off the Gulf Red Cedar company in South Greenville, including several large buildings, power plant, about 40 acres of ground, and many cot tages, that has been idle since the cedar mill was closed down at the outbreak of the European war, will be converted into this cotton mill, if the deal is carried through.
 Had the main building of this property been several feet wider the mill would have been a certainty, as sufficient cap ital had already been secured by the promoters of this new industry. Since the building is too small, the people of Greenville will be asked to subscribe $30 eco in stock.
 ness men of Greenville, no difficulty will be had in securing subscription for this amount of stock or even twice this amount.
 M. M. Mccall of Opelika, and H. How ard of Boston, are in Greenville now and from these men and their associates the remaining $70,O00 worth of stock has al- ready been subscribed.

REpuBLICANs IN ALABAMA

Washington, February 24.-(Special.) Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, will be succeeded in Alabama as republican pacificator by Frank Hitchcock and Ormsby McFIarg.
 It is learned in Washington today that the republicans are depending on the delegates from the south to turn the trick in the Chicago convention, the idea be- ing that while southern states are pow erless to advance the cause of a republt- can candidate, they possess the balance of power in swaying a republican con vention.
 The three emissaries to southern states, Shaw, Hitchcock and McHarg, move in the interest of Colonel Roosevelt. It is understood in democratic circles of the east that the ambassadors to the bull moose and standpat high priests of the southern states are prepared to prove that Roosevelt will be the nominee, and to promise that in the event of his elec- tion, the sins of the standpatters will not be remembered against them-that they will be given a slice when the pie is cut.
 It is said that the standpat leaders in states already visited by Hitchcock and McHarg are, when having in mind the factional tendency of Roosevelt, fearful lest the colonel, if President, would par eel out the plums to his own children and neglect those who ran after Taft in 1912 And as a southern progressive ab- hors a southern standpatter, and vice versa more than a southern democrat it is said that the emissaries are encoun- tering certain difficulties.
 No formal announcement of the arrival in Alabama of Hitchcock and McHarg will be made. They move quietly and, ac- cording to past records, will be as uncom- municative as was Shaw when confronted by The Age-Herald reporter

CONTRACTOR SAYS HE'S MIGHTY GLAD
 HE FOUND TANLAC
Leading Alabamian Suf- fered for Ten Years-Has
 Gained 16 Pounds

Mir. J. F. Culpepper leading contrac- tor of Ensley Ala, and man of prom thence and extensive business affairs, is still another who feels it his duty to tell others of the great benefit he has received from Tanlac, the new medicine that has won its way by producing ac- tual results until it has exceeded in popularity anything ever before known in the way of proprietary medicines.
 T have taken five bottles and gained 16 pounds in weight" said Mr. Culpep- per to a Tanlac representative in Bir- mingham a few days ago, "and my general condition is so much better that I consider myself fortunate in getteing hold of this medicine"
 T have been sufferer for 10 years" he continued, from persistent con stipation. I lost my appetite and suf- fered so much from nervousness that it amounted several times to a nervous breakdown. I lost considerable weight and nothing I could do would enable me to get it back.
 For the past six years I have had to be very careful what ate and have kept myself on a. strict diet, as any little failure to do this always caused me suffering.
 sT gradually lost weight until went down to 120 pounds, which is pretty low for a man of my height. I took many things in the hope of stopping the trou ble, but nothing did any good until I tried bottle of Tanlac three months ago. I finished that bottle and felt so much better that I quit taking it, but in short time I felt the need of con tinuing.
 T have now taken five bottles and my weight is 136 pounds. Besides, I eat anything I want, and for the first time in 10 years I can eat onions and digest them with ease. I am very fond of onions but have had to let them alone for all this time.
 But the greatest, thing about it all is my being able to sleep so we'll and get up in the morning feeling so good. The constipation is gone entirely and l am sure a few more bottles will put me in fine shape every way. I don't mind recommending your medicine, for it has made me mighty happy and feel thankful for it."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Engene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co. It is sold in Bessemer by the Pegram-Patton Drug Co, in Ensley by the D. w. Morris Drug Co.,, in Pratt City by the Gale Drug Co.,, in North Birmingham by the Walker Drug Co, and by regularly es- tablished agencies in all principal towns in the state.-Adv.

 bowman, the star center of the team, will not make the trip, owing to person. al reasons. Coach Hoffer stated last night that he was confident that both Mobile and Montgomery would be de- feated, although the advantage of play ing on the home court is great.
 A hard fight is looked for at Mobile, Montgomery will not prove an extra formidable foe for the locals and Coach Hoffer will probably save all of his stars for the game with the Gulls. The squad will probably return Sunday

 OLD STORIES UP IN BRANDEIS HEARING
Ccontinued from Page one)

York testified that he sought to employ the firm of Brandeis. Dunbar & Nutter to get proxies for MT. Hartman in the fight over the Illinois Central. MT. Nut ter told him the firm would not take the commission unless MT. Brandeis were convinced of the justice of the fight, whereupon Catchings had seen MT. Bran deis
 For an hour or two, MT. Catchings said, he had the hardest interview of his life-sn interview with MT. Brandeis-in which the case was outlined. The result was that the Brandeis firm undertook the work, but 'Mr. Brandeis was to do nothing and did do nothing" On cross examination, MT. Catchings testified that in 1908 Mir. Brandes sent to the firm of Sullivan 6, Cromwell' a copy of letter he had written to a Massachusetts legis- lative committee, saying that he persona ally never had been employed to get proxies for MT. Hartman and that Sulli- van & Cromwell replied that this state ment was correct.
 Mir. Foxs charges of unprofessional conduct were based on this letter
 Henry T. Richardson and Henry M Williams, lawyers, testified as to the Gillette Safety Razor company litigation The former told of long list of suits for control of the company, in which MT. Brandes had represented the litgants on both sides, but said he did not care to go so far as to charge MT. Brandeis with bad faith.
