Red Cross Assistants


 | Birmingham, want to say a few words about our corps of volunteer Boy Scouts who assisted us in our work at the fair grounds" said Miss Josephine Palmes, nurse in charge of the relief station of | the American Red Cross at the fair grounds. 'There were six of these little I fellows who made regular Red Cross assistants out of themselves for us. When we first came to the fairgrounds we were
 presented nice tent by the Boy Scouts,
 and six of them volunteered to help us
 From the first our able little assist ants refused to quit their post and re-
 mained with us untiringly until after the 1 reunion. They did not go home, but re-
 mained at the camp day and night. We tried to persuade them to go home for rest and let others take their places,
 but there was nothing doing. They would l stay.
 | ''The work these boys did will always
 be remembered by the nurses and phy- l sicians, and it was work that money would not have paid men to do. The boys who gave us such splendid help are: I Leslie Ellzey, Melton Winfield, George l Jones, Harry Crane and Harry and Sam l Sigal."
 Grooming for Governor Judge w. w. Brandon of city re- celved a splendid indorsement at the hands of the voters of Tuscaloosa county in the recent primary" said J. c. Per sons a prominent attorney of Tusca- loosa, who is at the Hillman. Despite the fact that Judge Brandon was op- posed by Pelham D. Brown, one of the strongest men in the county. in his race 1 for probate judge, and one of the best | politicians in our county, Judge Bran don was reelected nearly to l. 1 MT. Brown made a house to house canvass of the county, while Judge Bran- don did not make an active canvass re- maining in his office every day during the campaign. The people of Tuscaloosa
 were especially interested in the outcome they consider Judge Brandon as a prob
 able candidate for governor two years hence. Judge Brandon was for some years adjutant general of the state. and was elected state auditor by a large ma jority. He Is one of the most effective campaigners in Alabama, and we people in Tuscaloosa expect him to enter the race for governor and become very formidable candidate
 Praise for Birmingham 'T feel perfectly at home in Bir- mingham," said John B. Rolston of Coden, proprietor of the Rolston ho- tel, who was at the Hillman yester- day. "Coden looks like a small seg- ment of Birmingham at this season of the year, and have come to know so many of the citizens of the Magic City that I hardly feel like I am visiting when I come here. During the fish, ing season there are more people at Coden from Birmingham than from any other section of the country. Among the recent visitors from here are Leo K. Steiner. Godfrey Goldman, J. V. Cowart and F. H. Farmer. These are all truthful men but at the same time hesitate to tell how many splendid trout. reddish and mackerel they caught as I do not wish my story to conflict with the ones they have been telling since they returned to Birming-f ham.
 Mobile county sent a big delega- tion of veterans. sons and daughters to the reunion and all of them say this was the most delightful reunion they ever attended. Birmingham certainly l made good on this occasion. and all Ala
 bama is proud of the way this city
 handled the crowds. The old veterans seemed to have a splendid time and
 those that I heard express themselves 1 told me they were better treated here
 than at any other city where the re-
 union had been held"
