 While there was not so large crowd to hear him as was out to hear Hughes, it was more enthusiastic one. Under wood made the finest speech that I ever heard! Taking one by one the principal enactments of the last four years, as passed by the democratic administra- tion, and showing in his own impressive way what had been accomplished, he soon had his audience not only inter ested, but enthused. For an hour and half, they cheered him to the echo.
 "He had no knocks for the other side, but was content to tell of some of the good legislation passed by the democrats. It was indeed surprise to many of them and when he closed with the re- mark, I don't know where your boys are, but mine is on the border of Mexico ready to do and dare when the word is given. And I thank God for such man as Woodrow Wilson in the White House, who will not wantonly send your boy and my boy to war until it is necessary to do so.'
 "I see Ohio is classed as a doubtful state but I meet men on the streets, in the hotels. in the cars and in the res- taurants, who tell me Wilson will carry the state on November [, and I believe ha will"

 The new meat and milk inspection ordi- nance, passed by the last city council,
 may be modified before it becomes eff fective. Mayor Scarborough and some | members of the council are of the opin- ion that as it now stands the ordinance would not only impose a hardship on farmers who sell meat and milk in the city but some of it's provisions are so drastic that they would be impracticabls of enforcement. A committee was ap pointed to go into the matter thoroughly
 and make such suggestions to modify the
 ordinance so that it could be enforced

Underwood had his audience cheering him to the echo This is the news that John R. Copeland, former alderman Of Birmingham, and prominent business man, has written to John W. Sibley.

ANNISTON

Anniston, October 14.-( Especially G. H. Mathis, field agent and agricultural lecturer of the Alabama Bankers asso- citation, has just returned from a tour in the interest of the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant, during which she attended a large live stock meeting at Orangeburg, S. C., and a similar gathering at Augusta, Ga~, at both of which places the Muscle Shoals project was indorsed.
 Mrs. Mathis feels particularly gratihed over the results of her visit to Orange burg, owing to the fact that South Caro- lima has been working against Muscle Shoals in favor of Columbia. She states however, that after her address at Orangeburg the farmers there declared through their spokesman, "We are will ing to do anything Mrs. Mathis wants done. even to the moving of the capital from Washington"
 Mrs. Mathis states that the fight for the government nitrate plant is now lim- ited to Muscle Shoals, Keokuk and Priest Falls, Oregon If it goes to either of the western sites the freight on fertilizer to Alabama farmers will be increased from $5 to S15 per ton over the Muscle Shoals location. She states that if Ala bama expects to secure this big industry united action on the part of all the peop'e will be necessary.
