Mr.. e. r. Parker, southern district sales
manager Of the Saxon Motor Car corpor-
alton, at the Tutwiler hotel. has an
nounced the selection of new distribu-
tor of Saxon cars for the state of Ala
bama and western Florida.
Mr.. Parker has been in the city for the
past two weeks and has carefully gone
over the field and today announces the
appointment of the Alabama Motors Inc
The selection of a distributor for the
state of Alabama is Sn important mat
ter with the Saxon factory, in view of
the great Importance of Birmingham as
a distributing center, ana the great In
crease in the volume of automobile sales
in the state of Alabama.
The Saxon factory organization is one
of the most efficient in the country,
particularly in service rendered to own
ers of Saxon cars and the selection of a
distributor for Alabama was based on the
desire to secure an organization that in
addition to the sales of Saxonss would
pay particular attention to the care and
maintenance of the cars. The final de-
cision to appoint Alabama Motors Inc,
ganization was made on basis of 100
per cent service to Saxon owners IN CO.

The production plans of the Saxon Mo-
tor corporation call for a total of 10000
cars during 1917, and the Saxon factory
scales executives have been building
their distributor organization with the
marketing of that quantity in view They
have appointed at all the important CEN
ters in the United States distributors
whose finance, organization and service
facilities will enable them to market a
practically unlimited number of cars and
the local selection of the Alabama Mo-
tors, Inc, has been made with that idea
In mind. The fact that this new organi-
cation has been able to secure the Saxon
contract and has Joined the Saxon family
of distributors is an excellent indication
of its welcome to the auto world in Ala
bama.
Mr.. Parker will spend considerable time
with the new organization each month
and work in close cooperation in order
tfat every advantage may be taken of
factory facilities to render adequate serv-
ice to all owners of Saxon cars.

ATHENS AGGIES OPEN
SEASON WITH A WIN

Athens, September 23-(Special)
The Athens Aggies ushered in the local
football season here yesterday by de-
feating the Giles County High school
team of Elkton, Tenn, by the decisive
score of 43 to 0. The local team showed
up very favorably in both their often
sive and defensive play, considering
the little training they have had thus
far. Not for minute was the ball
In the Aggies territory. The Aggies
kicked off to the Tennessee boys, held
them for downs and carried the ball
over for the first touchdown within
the first four minutes of play. While
the Elkton team was outweighed 10
pounds or more to the man. they were
a rlucky bunch and put up a good
fight throughout the game. With the
proper seasoning and experience they
sould develop a strong team as the
season progresses.
Thomas, Burns and Johnston, for
the Aggies, each played a good game
in the backfield, Thomas being es-
pecially good at broken field run
ming. In the Aggies' line Lamon, Rob
erts, Barrow and Grisham distinguished
themselves in both offensive and de-
fensive work. For the visitors Baugh
and the Jordan boys played the best
game.
The Aggies anticipate very sue
cessful season. Five of last seasons
regulars are back and some very
promising new men are already giving
a good account of themselves. The
schedule will be strong one this
season, including the following games:
September 20. Jackson County High
school, Scottsboro; October 8, Lynn
vile, Tenn, in Athens; and games
pending with unsettled dates with
Cornersville. Tenn; Massey Prep.
school, Pulaski, Tenn; Giles County
High school, Elkton, Tenn; Cullman
County High school, and the Blounts-
vile Aggies. Officials, referee. Coving-
ton (Vanderbilt); umpire. Austin (Trin-
