day at the institution. The politicians, the statesmen, the candidates and the would-be candidates were present this era1 expectations, the occasion was not an suspicious one for launching cam- paigns. Everybody was too busy, there was too much to see, too many places to go, to give any attention to politics.
 Probably at no commencement in re- cent years, especially at one just two years before the big elections come off, has there been such a dearth of political discussion. Even on alumni day, when w. P. G. Harding, native of Tusca- loosa. an alumnus of the university, one of Alabamas foremost citizens, and a man with national reputation, made his able address, there was but little mem tion of the possibility of his candidacy for governor, a, subject which has re- ceived more or less attention over the state for the past several months.
 Congressman J. Thomas Heflin, consid- cred as a possible candidate for the United States Senate two years hence, was one of the centennial speakers, and a commencement guest, but his advent failed to take the minds of the crowds off the business at hand. They were there to enjoy themselves and they pro- ceeded to do it. They simply left poli- tics to take care of itself.
 Judge w. w. Brandon, one of the hosts of the centennial and commencement, whose friends have launched boom in his behalf for governor, was too busy to

loosa and vicinity all testify to the wis
 dom of his selection.
 The members of the executive commit
 tee of the centennial have been called on
 to make great sacrifices For months
 past more and more of their time has
 been demanded until finally they were
 almost forced to give up their private
 enterprises for the time being. In addi-
 tion to General Chairman Blair, the
 other members of the committee were
 Sam F. Clabaugh, general secretary, and Judge w. w. Brandon, judge H. B. Eos
 ter, w. H. Raiford, E. l.. Clarkson, E. B. Nuzum and Judge A. s. VandeGraaff But regardless of the work of the ex-
 ecutive committee, the centennial cele-
 bration could never have been a success
 without the united cooperation of all the people of Tuscaloosa. Seldom indeed has any community entered so heartily into a civic movement Every man and woman in the city was as vitally inter- ested in the success of the proposition as was the general chairman of the ex- ecutive committee. Even the children could think of nothing and talk of noth- ing for weeks except the great coming event. Tuscaloosa solved the problem of getting together, and gave the state a demonstration of what can be accom- plished when all interests bury the natchet and work for the general good Probably no feature of the celebration created more favorable comment than the manner in which Tuscaloosa cared for the 5000 visitors. With only one first class hotel, it was hard for visitor to understand what was to be done with the people. But there was confusion, no trouble The work of the housing com mittee, under the direction of Frank F'itts as chairman, had been so system atized that every visitor was assigned to a room without delay. He was di- rected to the place where he was to be located and when he arrived, he found that his host had already been tele- phoned by the committee and that ev- erything was ready for his coming.
 There was no opportunity for a person from Birmingham to get lonesome. Even if he had not known single resident | of Tuscaloosa, he would have felt per- fectly at home with the big crowds of Birmingham people who were present. Birmingham was well represented at every feature of the celebration and com mencement. At every social function, ] there were scores of Birmingham girls and boys as well as countless prominent Birmingham men and women. And the | same was true of Montgomery, Mobile and numerous other Alabama cities.

FEYER|SH BUYING
 HAS NOW SUbS|DED Bradstreet Says Industry Is Moving Along Far Above
 Average Season

New York, June 2.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Feverish buying has subsided but in its place has come a steady, more or derly and yet very large volume of business and the virtual arrival of the between seasons period sees trade as well as industry moving along at a rate far above the seasonal normal. Neither the reduced domestic buying of steel nor the weakness in southern pig iron, old materials and such metals as copper, spelter, lead, tin and antimony loom large in an otherwise strong sit- uation. Optimism, though tempered by high prices, is not one whit less mark ed than it was at the height of the boom, the plain fact being that. the country is sold up and therefore can afford to sit back for a breathing spell. Industry is working at an untoward pace. Di- unfinished buying of domestic steel is offset by foreign demand The old story of labor commanding high wages is more applicable than ever and warm weather has improved retail trade as well as crop conditions.

talk politics. A. H. Carmichael, speaker of the house, and prominent alumnus of the university, was another visitor who is said to have gubernatorial aspirations. E. D. Smith, recently elected national committeeman, was another visitor who is expected to come before the people in the future for further political honors.
 The only occurrence in the nature of a. political demonstration during the entire celebration came at the alumni banquet, when William B. Bankhead of Jasper arose to speak. MT. Bankhead, who re- gently defeated Captain Hobson for Con- gross from the Tenth district, was given remarkable ovation, indicative of the high esteem in which he is held by the alumni of the university, and of the pleasure felt at his election to Congress. But, taken as a whole, politics was ta- booed at Tuscaloosa this week
 BANKHEAD FOR TRUSTEE
 One of the most interesting discussions heard at the university relates to the selection of the new member of the board of trustees from the newly created Tenth district. That John H. Bankh. ad Jr., of Jasper will be chosen is the gen. eral opinion. Mr. Bankhead is an alum nus of the institution and has taken a keen interest in it's development for many years. The only other name men, toned for the honor is that of Col. L. B. Musgrove of Jasper. Both men are popu- lar with the alumni of the university, and both have been prominent in state affairs for many years.

So. far only two Huntsville young men have taken advantage of the training camp, but many others are expected to go later in the season.
 The contest of the nomination of w. T. Lawler for probate judge of Mad ison county instituted by Zac I. Drake, went off yesterday afternoon when the Madison county democratic committee refused to take jurisdiction and begin the hearing of evidence. The commit tee held that MT. Drake could not single Lawler out and contest his nom nation and not attempt to contest the votes cast for David D. Overton. MT. Drake may appeal the case to the state committee. There will be a special grand jury next week to investigate the recent primary election and it is stated that evidence compiled for the Drake contest will be turned over to the grand jury.
 The fire losses in Huntsville during the month of June amounted to only '$600 according to the records of the fire department. The principal loss was sustained when a carload of cot ton in the Southern railway yards caught fire.

By LEON c. BRADLEY

Tuscaloosa, June 1.-(Special.) )-Tusca- loosa after being host to more than 5000 visitors from every corner of Alabama and from many other states, today sug- gests the deserted village. The general exodus began Tuesday night and all day yesterday the crowds were leaving. To- day but few of those who came to the centennial celebration and commence lnent remain.
 The people of the city, after one of the most strenuous weeks in Tuscaloosa s history, are resting from their exertions. Business and professional men, who for weeks have devoted most of their time and energy to the plans and work for the big events, are returning again to their daily vacations. The city is resunl- ing the even tenor of her way
 Tuscaloosa is tired but happy. Proud of the success which attended her ef- forts, pleased by the universal commen- dation and praise so freely showered upon the city and her people, she is resting upon her laurels. When the last event of the celebration was concluded, without a flaw to mar the success of the occasion, there were not few who breathed a sigh of relief.
 When Tuscaloosa first launched her plans for the centennial, she did not know to what proportions the affair was destined to grow. It was planned to have a big celebration, but as the vari- ous committees made their arrangements, new ideas were introduced, new features were added until some were fearful that a city the size of Tuscaloosa might not be able to handle the affair successfully. PERFECT SYSTEM
 
 tenn with which all details had been mapped out and carefully arranged far in advance is due the happy results which attended their efforts. Every possible evenutality had been provided for, noth- ing was left to chance or accident, and nothing which might have occurred could have found the city unprepared. In fact, preparedness-full and complete pre- paredness-has been the watchword of the executive committee for several months.
 I mittee, Tuscaloosa is largely due the | thanks for the honors she has won. F. G. Blair as general chairman has been associated with many large business and l civic enterprises in Tuscaloosa in the | past. On every occasion, his executive ability has been demonstrated in such a l way that when the centennial celebra- 1 ton was launched, he was again com- I mandeered to take charge of a great civic | movement for his city.
